interesting, but they don't offer one for my phone.

from the same site, this is quite stylish (tho this shade of brown won't match any of my boots):

kinda satisfies my "blue steel and walnut" ethos, as well.

then there is The Nielsen:

tho it does require a certain level of confidence(?) to wear without a jacket...

Yeah I think I'll just find a way to manage my key collection better and stick the phone in a pocket.
KeySmart

Or make something like THIS to keep them from gouging the phone.
Sadly nothing works for the stupid huge car keys. Transponders and such.

Yeah, the wife showed me a pic of that guy from friendface and it took a while to figure it out.

Haven't seen anyone on here mention one yet, but my go-to lower garment when I'm not on the motorcycle is of the un-bifurcated nature. Typically a Utilikilt as I like the pockets, but when I need to dress up I don't mind a tartan. In general, I prefer dark colors that are less likely to show grease. Even "dressed up", I'd much rather be on a motorcycle than in a car, so I try and only buy clothing that I would wear on a bike (slip-on loafers are a "no-no").

That's me on the left, at our Distinguished Gentleman's Ride this past year with my Scot buddy.

I don't mind occasionally throwing on a bow tie, just because people still seem to find them odd.

What with upcoming job interviews, I just bought my first new suit in 20 years. Yes, up until my aunts funeral last year I have been wearing the same suit in which I interviewed for my first job out of college.
I look good in a suit.

Jae,

I do the Kilt as well, but only when I'm playing pipes at a gig. It's undeniably comfortable, and even largely practical, but it calls too much attention for me unless I'm already wrestling a scottish octupus at 90+ dB.

Just, no. Tactical anything is annoying, tactical kilts, no thanks. I don't dislike kilts though, have worn one a few times; but they're not my favorite. I've also worn the 18th century variety when I've done the odd gig when my wife reenacts. It's just a wool blanket held in place by a belt.

If I had an odd fashion taste it would be those tall equestrian boots, just styled in a masculine way for guys. I have pictures of my grandfather in his knee-high hunting boots and I've always thought those were cool.

I've been crazy busy with school so i haven't been around. after seeing this thread i'm feeling like I haven't missed much.

fucking kilts? you guys...

one thing I've noticed, most people don't dress for functionality anymore, not even close. In general most men are playing dress up.

If you like basketball, you go to school or work dressed up like you're going to play it, in sneakers, big shorts, etc. same with whatever other sport you favor. If you're a hip urban guy who likes trail mix you wear your REI gear and pretend you're going backpacking everyday. lots of guys who are completely grown up still dress like cowboys. and the hip hop kids, well they have pretty much always worn the most ill fitting un-functional thing they see their thug heroes wearing, which they always realize looks ridiculous only a few years later, when they start wearing even wackier crap. the funny thing is a lot of them are nearing their forties now, thinning hair and sagging pants...

the point is we are so far from survival, or need, that in the developed world people are making their decisions based on how something makes them feel, rather than what is useful or appropriate. it's the same for vehicles, food, etc. men buy trucks to feel manly, not because they need to haul shit. they eat nasty greasy crap because they think it makes them happy, not because that's what they need to function. this could be a good thing in a way, a sign of an easing of life in general, we can afford to relax and indulge our fantasies all day instead of tcb-in'. Of course some may feel guilty knowing others less fortunate are wishing they had some sensible shoes while we shop for 150 basketball shoes that will never see a court.

If I was going to play dress up it'd be cyber cowboy, Mal Reynolds or Han Solo. but I'd feel ridiculous so I won't.

I generally don't go out in public wearing short pants, I don't like ball-caps, embroidered doo dads on my butt or giant logos. most men these days dress like big sloppy kids in my opinion. I ride everyday so that means moto gear. boots, kevlar jeans that fit, etc. when i get my degree and an engineering job I may wear shirt and ties under an aerostich to work, if necessary, but I doubt I'll ever wear shiny shoes with no laces. boots make too much sense. and you never know when you might need to stomp through a mud puddle. or crash through a window feet first all space cowboy style.
