Things that virtually nobody notices or seems to care very much about when it comes to clothing make, colour, style, etc… but irritate you (when nothing more pressing is on your mind).
Men’s dress shirt single breast pocket. Who besides Dilbert carries things in that pocket anymore?
Men’s dress shirt placket. I prefer a clean (french) line down the front of my shirt. A traditional placket is often stiff and buckles and breaks that simple elegant look, especially since wearing a tie is becoming less and less necessary for men’s business attire.
Shirt buttons that yellow and crumble. You’d think by now clothes manufacturers would come up with a material that dry cleaners could not destroy in a matter of a dozen or so cleaning cycles.
Fake pockets on waistcoats. A proper fob pocket is unbelievably useful re-purposed to carry your cellphone, but too often they’re just for show, with only about an inch inside. Actually any faux-pocket on a jacket that just consists of a flap covering nothing. I want depth, damn it. If you don’t want me to put stuff in it and mess up the lines, fine, don’t have outer pockets.
People wearing band t-shirts to a concert by the very same band. We get it, you really like the band! I do too, that’s so amazing, we have so much in common! I never would have guessed that there were other fans of the band right here at their concert! Exceptions are if it is a really old shirt.
You don’t leave the studs on the shirt when you send them out for cleaning; you (or more likely your valet) removes them each evening and puts them on the new shirt in the morning.
I like dark solid colours for my business shirts, but it’s hard to find many of them except in ‘slim fit’ or ‘tailored fit’. i need a little more generous a cut than that.
Women’s pants often suffer from crappy pockets. When I used to have to wear black pants to work, I stocked up at the Goodwill. Not one pair had decent pockets. There either weren’t any at all, or they were too shallow to hold anything you didn’t want to lose. One pair had a gold zipper at the waistband- a real working metal zipper- with nothing behind it. :smack:
Depends on the belt, shirt, tie colors. There’s nothing wrong with gray & brown.
And then there’s winter outerwear that doesn’t have enough pockets. Years ago I bought a coat at AF with 12 assorted pockets (dedicated pockets for cell phone, etc.). I’m still wearing it; wish I could find a new one like it.
