We no longer have to put on a suit, tie, and hat just to go out in public. However, in some cases, we men (as well as women) have gotten a little too comfortable. There are still boundaries, and people will have far more respect for you if you look like you've made an effort to dress appropriately. Because dressing appropriately means that you respect them—and yourself. Comfort has never been a justification for looking subpar. If we're honest, wearing a leather jacket, jeans, and decent shoes is no less comfortable than wearing a track suit and trainers. It can be frustrating when you're dressed well and see other guys wearing their pyjamas in public. You may think, 'Why did I bother?' It's times like these when you need to remind yourself: You bothered because you cared. And rest assured that there ARE people who care that you care. Here's the bonus: When you dress for success, your self-confidence will soar. It never fails. !4 FIT The Single Most Important Aspect of Any Garment You might agree with me on this: 'Colour, price, and brand have nothing to say when you’re buying a new shirt or a pair of trousers … … IF the fit is totally wrong for you.’ With that said: Regardless of your body shape or posture, determining if a garment has the right fit is easy. In fact, you can be an expert at it by the end of this chapter. Just follow the remarkably simple guidelines below: Why You Need to Know More Than 'W × L' When Buying Trousers There’s more to buying pants than just getting the waist and length measurements right, but fortunately, not much more. As you’ll see here: The waist measurement of your pants is indicated with a 'W', and it's the measurement around your waist, at the top of your hipbones. The length is also called the inseam; regardless, it's indicated with an 'L' on your jeans tag. This is the measurement from the crotch seam to the hem. Ideally, the leg should end approximately an inch above the sole of your foot. If you’re wearing shoes, the hems of the pants should rest on top of your shoes, creating one fold or break in the leg fabric. Besides the width and length, we also have the cut and the rise. The cut isn’t so much of a measurement as it is an ambiguous standard that indicates the shape of the leg. Trouser cuts are commonly divided into straight, tapered, slim, and skinny. Straight legs are of the same width from the knees to the hems, while tapered legs get slightly narrower from the knee down. Tapered pants have the most classic cut and, if you have an average body build, would probably be most flattering to you. !5 Slim and skinny pants have narrower thighs in addition to being tapered, with the skinny cut having the tightest fit. Unless you have the physique of a marathon runner, skinny pants can easily get too tight. Fashion and personal preference have also created different rise measurements. The rise is basically the length of your fly. We typically distinguish among low-, regular-, and high-rise pants, with a regular rise being the most classic and the best-looking. The waistline of pants with a regular rise typically sits two inches below your belly button. For shorts, the waist and rise guidelines are the same as they are for pants. Also, if you wear straight-leg or tapered pants, you’ll typically look good in regular shorts as well. The best length for your shorts all depends on one thing: Do you have thin or muscular legs? If you have thin legs, your shorts should end at the top of your knee, while muscular legs look best in mid-thigh shorts. Your shorts length should be in proportion to your legs. !6 !7 How a Wristwatch Can Help You Decide If Your Shirt Fits Asking your average retail employee if your shirt fits is like asking an insurance salesman if you need any insurance … They’ll both say, 'Yes!' Well, it might not be that bad, but the best thing to do when trying on shirts— or any type of garment—is to rely upon your own judgement. The first thing to do after you’ve put on a shirt, is to button all its buttons; however, leave it untucked—you’ll see why below. You can only check if the collar is the right size when you have buttoned it up (like you would if you were wearing a tie or bow tie). To check the collar, simply insert two fingers between it and your neck. If the collar is still comfortable to wear without being too tight or loose, it’s the right size. At the same time, you'll want to check the fabric at the back, especially right under the collar. An ill-fitting shirt will form a fold here, while the fabric of a good shirt will lie flat across the back when you’re standing straight. The shoulders and chest are next. Here, it’s important that the shoulder actually ends where you can feel the end of your shoulder bone … … not on top of it and not on the side of it. If the shirt is too tight across the chest, the fabric won't lie flat between the buttons, and you'll see the front placket being pulled on. A correctly sized shirt shouldn’t show any of this, and the fabric should lie flat and relaxed without sagging. We’ll move downwards to the arms, where we check the length of the shirtsleeves. They should reach down to your hands, but no further. The cuffs should also be roomy enough to accommodate you wristwatch, so make sure to wear your watch when shopping. If the cuffs are too tight, they won't fall naturally onto your hands. This creates a less-than-ideal look—especially when wearing a suit jacket or blazer — as all you'll see are bare wrists where the cuffs should be. All you have left to check now is the cut and the length of the shirttails. Shirttails first. They should reach down over your butt, or to the bottom of your fly. Any higher and you’ll have a problem keeping that shirt tucked in. Speaking of tucking, next you want to tuck the shirt in and check the cut. A shirt with the right cut for you should not balloon when it’s tucked into your trousers. !8 However, it shouldn't be so snug that you have to suck in your stomach, either. !9 !10 The All-Important Half-Inch Rule of Suit Jackets and Blazers The important thing when trying on blazers and suit jackets is: Wear a dress shirt when doing so. This is because you can only check the sleeve length when you wear a shirt underneath. But … … before we move on to the sleeves, we need to make sure that the shoulders sit where they should. Again, the shoulder seams should lie along the edge of your shoulder bone. If you get this right, a good tailor can modify practically everything else to fit you. But why not make sure that your off-the-rack jacket has a tailored fit without sending it to the tailor? That's why the next thing you'll want to check is the back—as with your shirt— to make sure that there’s no fold forming under the jacket collar. The sleeves are next, and now you’ll see why it's so important to wear a shirt. The jacket's sleeves should expose about a half-inch of shirt cuff; any less, and your jacket will look too big. Now we'll move on to the lapels. These should lie flat across your chest when you’ve buttoned your jacket (see Page 64 on how to button different suit jackets and blazers). If the lapels bulge out and leave a gap, the jacket is too small, and you should try a larger size. While you’re at it, makes sure there’s no pulling on the buttons, as this indicates a too-narrow cut. Finally, let's check the length of the jacket. If everything else fits, this is most likely okay. But if you want to double-check, the bottom of the jacket should reach down to the bottom of your fly—no lower or higher. !11 !12 Coats and Jackets: The Easiest Garments to Get Right Jackets and coats are one of the garments men buy the least frequently; that’s why … … we need to make sure that the fit is absolutely perfect. There seems to be some confusion about how a coat—or jacket, for that matter—should fit. The truth is that it shouldn’t sag or look roomy. If that’s what you’ve come to expect from a coat or jacket in order for it not to restrict your movements, the fault is most likely in the design of the garment, rather than the fit. Shop around and try on different brands and sizes before buying, and you’ll see that there’s a wide variety in fit and comfort.

    Chapter One - Sledgehammer. Davin Grey picked his way along a crowded footpath into a mild autumn breeze that ruffled the hair of morning commuters. The thump of a tram crunching along the tracks down Collins Street was one of those deliciously iconic sounds that reminded Davin why he had moved to Melbourne. It spoke of industry and commerce, movement and energy, urgency and connection. Here, people had purpose and direction. Here, you weren’t judged. You could blend in and get on with your life. Make your own future. A far cry, Davin thought, from the malaise of the country town he grew up in. It was a relief to escape that myopic environment and the small mindedness of the people he’d grown up with. That seemed a lifetime ago. Back then, he wasn’t Grey, he was Gaye - a family name of which his father was fiercely proud. It was, as he would remind Davin often in his formative years, of ancient Gallic lineage stretching back to the Norman Conquests in 1066. ‘It’s from an Old French word: gai’, his dad would say. ‘Means full of joy.’ And so would begin a recurrent sermon Davin would endure many times over the years. ‘There are Gayes in our family who we should never forget, Davin, Gayes who have made the ultimate sacrifice,’ he would add, nodding to a hallway lined with sepia photographs of men in uniform. ‘Your name – our name – is etched in headstones at Flanders Fields and Vietnam.’ On occasion, Mr Gaye would bring out his musty collection of Motown records.

But alpaca has, of course, been around for ages – it’s just that its superlative qualities have not beenA fully appreciated until this season. The springy, ultra-soft fibres from the underbellies and necks of a species of camelid living in the Andes make for some very special fabrics. When woven, alpaca takes on various textures, from soft and voluminous to coarse and cropped. And as lightweight fabrications and distinctive textures become defining characteristics of contemporary men’s style, it’s not surprising that alpaca is now being shepherded into a lead role. Brunello Cucinelli, who built his empire on cashmere, has also put alpaca to work beautifully in his signature unstructured tailored outerwear, such as a glen-check short coat (£3,760) and roomy one-and-a-half breasted camel- (£1,390) and bomber jackets (£1,060, colour coat (£3,890). Likewise at Canali, pictured below) in wool/alpaca/mohair/ where deconstructed drapey overcoats silk bouclé take inspiration from 1960s silhouettes, as does a single-breasted overcoat (£1,470) in a wool/alpaca blend.

  • A Short History of the Wearing of Clerical Collars in the Presbyterian Tradition
    A Short History of the Wearing of Clerical Collars in the Presbyterian Tradition Introduction There does not seem to have been any distinctive everyday dress for Christian pastors up until the 6th century or so. Clergy simply wore what was common, yet muted, modest, and tasteful, in keeping with their office. In time, however, the dress of pastors remained rather conservative, as it is want to do, while the dress of lay people changed more rapidly. The result was that the dress of Christian pastors became distinct from the laity and thus that clothing began to be invested (no pun intended) with meaning. Skipping ahead, due to the increasing acceptance of lay scholars in the new universities, the Fourth Lateran council (1215) mandated a distinctive dress for clergy so that they could be distinguished when about town. This attire became known as the vestis talaris or the cassock. Lay academics would wear an open front robe with a lirripium or hood. It is interesting to note that both modern day academic and clerical garb stems from the same Medieval origin. Councils of the Roman Catholic church after the time of the Reformation stipulated that the common everyday attire for priests should be the cassock. Up until the middle of the 20th century, this was the common street clothes attire for Roman Catholic priests. The origin of the clerical collar does not stem from the attire of Roman priests. It’s genesis is of protestant origin. The Origin of Reformed Clerical Dress In the time of the Reformation, many of the Reformed wanted to distance themselves from what was perceived as Roman clerical attire.

In the United Kingdom (UK) a high proportion of workers possesses a sun sensitive skin type. This population is at elevated risk for skin cancer, yet uptake of sun safety practices is low. Studies are needed to identify the underlying factors that contribute to the uptake of occupational sun safety practices that may be targeted during behavior change interventions. This study integrated the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the Transtheoretical Model’s stages of change (SoC) as guiding frameworks to identify underlying beliefs that influence UK postal delivery workers’ uptake of occupational sun safety practices. Thirty-four workers participated in semi-structured interviews that used the SoC to establish current receptiveness to and adoption of two sun safety practices (using sunscreen of at least sun protection factor (SPF) 30 on exposed skin and wearing a wide-brimmed hat when working outdoors in the summer).
