Introduction

The purpose of this blog is to set forth a series of rules on matters sartorial (and related subjects) for men. I have compiled these rules after long observation of the often degraded state of male dress and demeanor one sees in our great cities of late.

These rules are not intended as mere suggestions, rather they should be adhered to strictly. Deviate at your peril.


Sincerely,

Mr. Wooster

Rules 11 through 15

11. Boxers or nothing, unless you are playing a sport.

12. If your tie extends below your belt, it is too long.

13. Wearing a hat indoors is never acceptable, unless you are an actor in a play and the scene is supposed to take place outdoors.

14. If you can fit more than three fingers side-by-side (like the Boy Scout salute) between your stomach and your buttoned suit or sport jacket, it is too loose. See Rule 1.

15. Unless you are blind, disfigured or recently had a medical procedure on your eyes, the following is the only circumstance during which it is acceptable to wear sunglasses: (a) you are outside; and (b) the sun is shining. Wearing sunglasses at any other time (esp. indoors, at night) marks you as a poseur douche.
