I’m in a hurry, and have lost track, but to whomever had the issue of where to put a pocketwatch when not in a suit, i keep mine in a leather belt pocket. it was a gift from my uncle when i complained about the fifth pocket on my jeans never being large enough. its made specifically for pocket watches and fits my colibri wind-up perfectly. And as per the Argyle socks… I was taught that not only should your shoes match your belt, but your socks should match your pants. That way there is no break in the continuity of colors, i.e. the picture above. That is just plain distracting in my opinion, and if your dressed well enough otherwise, with a few manly accessories like a nice pocket knife, or pocket watch, tobacco pouch or lighter. Then you don’t need argyle to grab attention and spur conversation. unless your rockin knickers…

Don’t forget the Edwardian variation which preceded the tie bar — the tie pin or stick pin. Some of these are gorgeous statements. I wear one every day and always get positive comments.

Great article! As for eyewear, I wear a vintage style from Berkshire Chase known as the Saville Row Saddle Round. They are the same glasses that you see Indiana Jones wear in the fourth movie, Radar and Boone in M*A*S*H had them and of course it was one of the many specs seen worn by John Lennon. They are a style of eyewear that goes back a hundred years and the frames are made to last.
