Out of those choices that would be the only blue I'd consider. And the tie in the pic i posted is way to wide. I don't think I can pull off a tie that wide anyway

You can post up as many pictures of colored shirts as you like, I still think white shirts under a suite look much better. :)

I'd ask what the ultimate goal is, to look professional or stylish.

Very good question, I just went with the assumption that it was for professional purposes.

Not really professional but formal. Its banquet for my fire dept. So it a great oppertunity to be stylish.

Then I would definitely go with the color. White shirts and suits are for CEO's getting their glamor shots for the company website.

Doesn't have to be that bad :)

A "manliness of cocktails" debate is like an auto/manual debate, the argument is older than the hills, and won't get solved on this forum.

It's weird the things we pick out to be "manly." I could say that since I shave with a straight razor, I'm manlier than these plastic blade *******, or since I live in Phoenix where it can get 120 degrees, I'm manlier than people who have nice california weather.

Aside from that, who does drinking straight alcohol make one manlier to, other guys? Because while a chick is likely to giggle if you order a "skinny tini," I don't know any chick who wouldn't think well of you ordering an old fashioned, white russian, rusty nail, etc. Since 90% of my decisions are based on "will this increase my chances of having sex or making money?" I am more than happy to occasionally please my pallet with the many combinations of cocktails. Label me what you will :tiphat:

The gray definitely does soften it up when compared to black.

On a hot day out on the yacht, if I order a rum and tonic, I seriously doubt anyone is going to challenge my manhood over it :tiphat:

I'd go so far as to say that the toughest guy in the bar is the one who walks in, and orders a "merry berry martini" like he owns the fuckin place :roflpuke2:

You know what I'd agree with you. Though it also depends on the clientele of the bar.

I made a Manhattan the other night using Russell's Reserve Rye, single barrel aged. I challenge anyone to say that's not a man's drink, just because it ain't straight :tiphat:

Manhattans are supposedly wildly popular with the mob, or at least were in the mob's better days. I'd love for someone to go to one of them and tell them it's a girly drink :icon17:

I don't see whats not manly about manhattans?

I agree with you, this guys seems to differ :roflpuke2:

Liqour in the front poker in the rear?

A white shirt is classic. For any sort of special event I always look to the white shirt with a solid tie. It just looks right.

But for the day to day there's nothing wrong with color. Just stay away from bright colors. Bright yellows, pinks, and greens usually look pretty terrible, but in pastel they look nice.

Dark shirts can look good in a suit, but only rarely imo. For day to day work, you end up looking like a pimp, and not in a good way. I know guys where I work that wear the whole colorful suit, dark shirt and tie, fedora, hankie... Seriously, you're looking around the corner for the hoochie train.

This is true. Dark colors generally look too pimpish and unprofessional.

Fedora and a hankie :roflpuke2:

The only people I've seen wear a fedora in public, have all turned out the be some of the biggest idiots I have met.

It keeps my head warm. :mad:

Hug?

you two get a room :bowrofl:

Two*

Jezz, I think I need a break from the stress of work and family making that kind of gramatical error :eek:
Thanks for pointing out my faux pas

Btw if anybody is interested in those Mezzi briefcases that came up in this thread, send me a note, I've got a couple of brand new ones still in the box which I can sell you at cost+shipping.

Stop, or they'll be telling us to get a room :bowrofl:

Throw in some fake Rolex and you might have a deal :excited:

I was in Shanghai a couple of months ago and those watches were ugly... :)

Briefcases come from Mezzi themselves, I just bought a lot of them.... (cheap)

they fall off the back of a truck?

Nope, they came from Mezzi without any illegal stuff involved... :)

That's not what this room was for? :confused:

The standard aluminum ones?

I have an extra woodline briefcase and a LUXslim SD laptop case.

Wood one is delicious.

I know, I got two of those, I'm keeping one for myself. See PM.

I have no idea what happened to the case I was going to buy from Xan o_O


On another note:
Cigar Psychology

Not sure I buy that you can tell a person's personality by the way he holds his cigar, but it was kind of amusing to pick out how I hold it and see what it says.
