The french collar/cuff is where its at...




Like Turkish all the way to the left....

Rock the tweed or tan...with a light blue with white collar and a nice tie...

Looks real nice...I am a sophomore business student myself and I always rock out the Turkish look...but I have the shaved head too...

Bally is my favorite brand. Those Mezlans are pretty nice too at 2/3 the price of Ferragamo.

Then there's the OJ shoe, Bruno Magli. They all have a big Bruno Magli stamp on the bottom so when you step in dirt people know what you're wearing.

It must've been the diesel fumes...I know they make me swoon...oh baby...

My idea of being dressed to the nines is Levi 517 boot cuts, heavily starched maroon cotton shirt, white tie, sport coat, dress packer boots, and a gray Stetson or Fedora.

Compared to those anemic men (?) in GQ-- you, MedMech, and I must ooze testosterone. No wonder women swoon over bib overalls, mossy oak camo, flannel shirts, and diesel fumes.

Well, I remember one week where the Saab 9000 was giving me fits. Drove me to drink, actually. Or rather, it was still broken, so I walked to drink, still dressed for battle with the Saab... faded grease-stained t shirt, fatigue pants, Doc Martens. That night in the pub, I got 4 phone numbers without trying?!

Heck, when dressed in a vintage Italian suit (3 buttons, dark blue) with an inch-wide tie, pointed-collar white shirt, and roach-killer Chelsea boots (I'm a mechanic, I don't wear suits for my interviews- it's all about the fashion statement), and disembarking from the 126 at the valet station, I only got 3 sets of digits. I guess most women like dirty guys better than clean ones.
