Men in Suits

I don't remember ever buying a suit without being under my wife's watchful eye. Of course I rarely wear them anymore, but they are very nice ones and of a style that can stays reasonably current. She is a bit fussy about how I look.

Yes we women want our men to look good.
 

It’s not what you wear, but how you wear it. I worked with a fellow who wore a suit everyday and another who wore jeans and shirt. The fellow in jeans was immaculate, let’s just say the suit style wasn’t.
 

I was in the Navy from the time I was 17 until I was 48, so most pictures of me are in uniform. I did find this one of my BS Graduating Class. Civilian cloths were required and I believe that I was a Chief Warrant Officer at the time. I tried to post the entire class but it was apparently too large. That is a shame because many of them were Aviators during the Vietnam War. A couple of them were shot down, but came down over water where they were picked up by our ships. One of my favorite guys was shot down over North Vietnam where he spent nearly a year in the Hanoi Hilton. He was skin and bone when he got back where he found that his wife had filed for divorce.

I've noticed that I'm treated very differently when I wear a suit. People are way more courteous, friendly, and cooperative. I'm reminded of a job I had where we didn't have a dress code, but I got a lot more done on the days when I wore a suit than on days when I wore, like, cargo pants and a polo shirt. My clients were more cooperative, never kept me waiting, cheerfully gave me instant access to documents I needed, etc..

I've always thought men look appealing in suits.

Well-dressed men look high-class, sophisticated, polished.

Only problem I have is, the whole beard thing going on, it looks unkempt to me, like as if a man drank himself into a stupor over a 3 to 4 day period, had a long sleep, then decided he was going to put on his Sunday best and strut his stuff.

Personally, an unshaven man in formal dress-wear, I can't take seriously.

Doesn't look unkempt to me. I like it. To each their own.
 
3/4 length topcoats and overcoats, as well as fedora's, my very favourite!

Yes, suit do "maketh the man." Too bad slop wear is in. You know what I mean. Tight T-shirts on men to show off their beer bellies so they look like they are 8.5 months pregnant. Then there are those pants that are so low that 1/2 of the crack in your rear end is there for everyone to "enjoy!" Yes, suits do "maketh the man."
