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.

Never come across the one piece underwear, but it would save the gap! As regards braces, I wear them regularly as they are so much more comfortable than belts. surprisingly, on the odd occasion i have removed my jacket, the girls have been most complimentary.Sadly my male mates do rib me, but at 23 I think I can do my own thing, and my girlfriend loves to twang them playfully. So guys, give them a go!

Apparently European and Asian businessmen do not wear them (at least not in 2007). Interesting.

Tie bars are a breach of etiquette. Wearing a bar implies your tie is of insufficient quality to hold itself in place, and therefore diminishes it. That's why Europeans never wear one. For an otherwise great site that promotes gentlemanly things, the basic rules of etiquette should be considered when making these suggestions.

Where does one find knickers I wonder? I have a pocket watch, though I only where it when I’m wearing my three piece suit. It’s hard to find a place for it, when you don’t have a vest. I’m all for more vests by the way.

@ Dude

Why is this vanity? This is looking classy and professional, (except the long johns). We all have an image in our heads, constrocuted by both our grandfathers, and a classier, older, hollywood, where men were allowed to dress-up, and the code wasn’t the simple sloppiness it has become…

Number 5, in fact, is not a tie bar. That is a tie clip, which is not quite the same. A true tie bar is worn up near the knot of the tie to keep it centered and lofted between the two sides of the collar. Both are excellent.

I say “fail” on all accounts unless you’re old enough to bank on your social security. This is pure vanity, and pompous vanity at that.

You know the tailcoat (specifically the morning coat) is classy because Etonians are still rocking it. Combine that with our waistcoat and pinstripe trousers, the best dressed teenagers around.
