I despise these type of "showings" because no one in his right mind would wear that crap!

Esquire has regular fashion articles but they mostly stick to conservative business suits and country club leisure ear ($500 tennis shirts and so forth). Those I could at least imagine someone wearing. Not me though.

I would have to leave the baggage and gloves behind though. That color looks something like an infant would be passing from their intestines, I don't know which end though.

They keep the sun and rain off your head and neck.

Sombrero? Overkill. Where do you put it when you get into your car?

I wouldn't want to scratch my legs or get bit by a rattlesnake in the brush.

ago, in Coryell Co., and a late-comer arrived in sandals, Bermuda shorts and tank top. Dove shoots make golfers look stylish.

The only fashion I care about, at all, about, is men's suits. I want them to look really sharp for what I'm paying.

because Project Runway started a new season? It was pretty much a dud when I posted it in June and now it's getting replies.

Guys wearing flannel shirts in the summer look ridiculous , and I see it over and over
So here's my idea.....
Tee shirts in familiar flannel shirt plaids!
Never seen this and wonder if anybody would buy or wear such a tee shirt?
