You sure he’s not American? All that macho posturing…
I’ve noticed that, in addition to the Nation of Islam crowd, young Conservative men (see: Tucker Carlson and his ilk) are wearing more bow ties. It seems to be a badge of honor. Just an observation.
I seem to remember Sen. Paul Simon wearing one, especially during his aborted run for the presidency.
Um, actually that’s the one exception. 
Guys still wear bowties-they just wear them with formal wear.
I’d love to carry a ciggie holder-and I don’t even smoke! Just so I could be like Audrey in Breakfast at Tiffanys!
I wear a bowtie four days a week - I own about thirty of them.
I have a fedora - this very one, in fact.
I own a number of three-piece suits, so vests are not uncommon for me. And since I do a fair number of formal functions, I also have several pairs of matching vests and bowties, because that’s a cool look.

Oh no. You’re that kind of attorney. Do you own any seersucker?
I haven’t read the whole thread but I will , meanwhile…
Damn, I must be out of touch w/ vogue.
I wear a hat every day, either a straw or a Stetson.
I have a beard, trimmed short and neat very thick, blond/brown and soft.
I usually wear a vest, leather of course.
I like my faded Wrangler jeans a bit tight. (no baggies)
My boots, not so tight.
When I go out where dress codes apply, I’ll grab my black double-breasted jacket, my GOOD Stetson and my gold pocket watch.
I work hard outside everyday. So, I’ve usually got a good tan and good tone. Blue eyes too.
So, just how bad is it? Do I need to get an extreme makeover or what?
Nah, you live in Texas, I think that’s the uniform.
Fortunately, photos don’t carry the stink of a mass of sweating men wearing wool suits under the Australian sun.
I have to wear a suit to work.
<looks aside> Hey, 29C degrees today (84F) – and it’s still spring! Good thing I have this frikkin’ neck-tie on!
A two-piece wool suit is terribly unpractical for our climate, but we’re stuck with it. Fortunately, three-piece suits (except formal wear) are never seen. It’s also acceptable to wander about the office and attend internal meetings without wearing a jacket.
I wear a straw cowboy hat in summer – particularly to concerts and raves – but it’s entirely tongue-in-cheek. The shade is nice, but mainly I like the attention. 
Bricker, that site is GREAT. Cloches, pillbox hats…drool
beards (non-muslims)
Still popular among some college professors, Unix gurus, and the zymurgy/beer connoisseur crowd.
bowties
Popular among eccentric college professors and high school teachers.
berets
I’ve increasingly seen them among the hipster doofus/emo crowd.
**hats (no, NOT baseball caps)[/v]
You mean 1950s “take the 7:12 New Haven to work on Madison Avenue” fedoras? Probably something that will probably be adopted among hipster doofuses in a few years.
I’m wondering about the return of Hitler moustaches.
How about those nifty straw “boater” hats? I have a picture of my late grandfather in one…he looked really cool?
Can you still buy them?
I gotta second that.
They’re sexy. I think it’s the Freudian symbolism…

Alas, the high-end holders seem to be only available in Europe…perhaps one can contact their friendly neighborhood tobacconist to arrainge importing a few for their prefferred customers?
I’ve got a co-worker that wears bowties most of the time to work. I can’t help but think “Can you pass me the popcorn, Orville?” I’m afraid that except for formal attire, these should not make a comeback.
I’ve been hemming and hawing on buying an inverness cape for myself though, but really don’t want all of the Sherlock Holmes ribs.
“How about those nifty straw “boater” hats? I have a picture of my late grandfather in one…he looked really cool?

Yes. I priced one a few years ago when I was going to have a 1920s croquet party on the lawn. I think they cost about $80.
This wouldn’t be you, would it?
I might have to give a try to a News Boy cap. Kinda like a cross between a baseball cap and a beret and very American.
Dude, mark that shit “Not Safe for Work” next time, would you please?
and no, I don’t mean the Siegel’s store site. 
Many thanks for that timely warning, Olentzero.
