I like some of the combinations better than others, but I think the photographs illustrate the point.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

This mannequin, from a local Belk department store, is dressed in a natural-colored linen suit, a turquoise-blue dress shirt and pink striped bow tie.

I found this mannequin in a local Belk department store. The mannequin is dressed in a pink-check slim-fit non-iron shirt from Ralph Lauren. I liked the fit so much I bought six in a variety of colors and patterns. The outfit also includes a tan linen jacket, dark blue jeans, a dark brown belt, aviator-style sunglasses and a Fossil messenger bag.A Southern Gentlemanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03803282626989016398noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3091604902723486730.post-13695328990488123632011-05-07T14:38:00.000-04:002011-05-07T14:38:07.721-04:00Ralph Lauren Outfits<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2X0ULpg-KIsiKq1O1IZ6nQItAHir10it5Wl43duC-O9xq9VAXqyCeLPOyW2KU5qF3rLDnttITXcY8_24WgoHQc9q80ma4fNBxyX6wn8PYLKoS6-xeoXeVxtomJFIG28rRv9eEgHHXDQxt/s1600/Polo..jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2X0ULpg-KIsiKq1O1IZ6nQItAHir10it5Wl43duC-O9xq9VAXqyCeLPOyW2KU5qF3rLDnttITXcY8_24WgoHQc9q80ma4fNBxyX6wn8PYLKoS6-xeoXeVxtomJFIG28rRv9eEgHHXDQxt/s400/Polo..jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><br />

Okay, I've been pretty slack lately about putting up any posts here at ASG. Most of my creative energy has been focused into my weekly column at <a href="http://www.mensflair.com/a-southern-gentleman">Men's Flair</a>. It has been suggested that I publish those same articles here at ASG (as I have done with a handful of those articles in the past). I'll probably get around to that at some point. Nevertheless, I've decided to do better about posting unique content here at ASG. Lately I've been snapping photographs of interesting outfits on store mannequins. I find that they provide good sartorial inspiration. So, at the least, I plan to occasionally post those pictures. In the meantime, please follow my column at Men's Flair.A Southern Gentlemanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03803282626989016398noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3091604902723486730.post-43023981229612058632011-05-05T23:48:00.000-04:002011-05-05T23:48:24.746-04:00Mister CrewI discovered a quite interesting blog yesterday called <a href="http://mistercrew.com/">Mister Crew</a>. It is advertised as "a collection of things on men's clothing and culture."<br />
<br />
I think one of the most useful aspects of the blog are scans from Japanese style magazines, notably <a href="http://www.mens-ex.jp/"><i>Men's Ex</i></a>. Although the pages are in Japanese, the photographs and illustrations are very informative. The images remind me of the old <i>Esquire</i> illustrations that showed you how to combine jackets, pants, shirts, ties and other accessories into a cohesive outfit. One memorable scanned page from <i>Men's Ex</i> on the Mister Crew blog shows six different outfits, from casual to business attire, built off of one navy blazer.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the Mister Crew blog provides a lot of useful information; it will be added to my favorites.A Southern Gentlemanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03803282626989016398noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3091604902723486730.post-27652094835767969452011-02-06T17:13:00.000-05:002011-02-06T17:13:34.995-05:00Gentleman's GazetteI have discovered another excellent classic style blog called <a href="http://www.gentlemansgazette.com/">Gentleman's Gazette</a>.

Bass & Co.</a> introduced the Bass Weejun in 1936. The name Weejun is a derivation of Norwegian; the loafer was inspired by moccasins made by Norwegian fishermen in their off-season. The moccasins were discovered after World War I by American and European travelers, and then promoted by <em>Esquire</em> magazine. The most distinctive addition made by Bass was a strip of leather with the now-famous diamond-shaped cutout.<br />
<br />
<br />
In the 1950s this style of loafer became a staple of the Ivy League style of men’s dress that developed on college campuses. The Weejun was dubbed the “penny loafer” when those students made a fashion statement by placing pennies in the diamond-shaped cutout. Since then they have been worn by the likes of John F. Kennedy, James Dean and Michael Jackson. They are still popular with those who favor the “American Trad” style of dress.<br />
<br />
The classic Weejun penny loafer is still available today. Bass has also recently released an updated version of the Weejun called the Dover. According to the Bass website, it is a derivative of the original with a “slimmer profile and modern lines.”A Southern Gentlemanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03803282626989016398noreply@blogger.com0
