This post will effectively serve as my official, RMRS review of Collars & Co. Having received a $50 gift card to Collars & Co that was able to be combined with a sale price, I decided to purchase my sixth offering from them. This time - despite my concern that they fail to inform you of the materials on their website - I purchased their flagship Dress Collar Polo. This is the only remaining Collars & Co item in my closet and it will be the last item I purchase from them. How long it remains in my closet has yet to be determined. Issue #1: Supbar Materials This shirt is 100% plastic. I expected it to be largely synthetic but it is, in fact, 100% polyester. I don't care what the marketing copy says, polyester is a thermal insulator and will always wear hotter than cotton unless and until it has soaked up at least 50% of its weight in moisture. Even their mostly-non-synthetic offerings (my previous 5 items from them) were made from subpar materials, in my opinion, exhibited by both the feel of the fabrics plus a higher-than-average tendency to pill. Issue #2: Subpar Manufacturing Almost every single item from them showed a lack of quality in manufacturing - loose stitching, uneven stitching, visible flaws, etc. Even this one has a visible flaw - an unsightly bit of threading on the back where the tag is sewn. Issue #3: "Revolutionary" Collar Their "revolutionary" collar only applies to certain products - as their primarily-cotton polo shirts had a collar that was quite disappointing. The secret to the dress Collar polo is simply cardboard fused into the collar. It makes for an oddly thick and stiff collar - which looks good, admittedly, though at the cost of comfort and care. A shirt that would ordinarily be quite fine with a cycle in the dryer must be hang-, line-, or flat-dried to avoid damaging this revolutionary collar. And is there reinforced stitching around the collar tip and/or removable collar stays to help ensure the collar looks great through years of wear? Of course not.

I received a new compliment this morning while shopping at Meijer this morning. An older lady said “You look like you just walked off a book cover.” I looked confused and said thank you. And she replied “oh, it’s acompliment, I like how you look.” I am not sure what sort of book cover I supposedly I walked off of. I am wearing a grey porkpie, a light tan shirt, tweed waistcoat, green paisley ascott, faded green dungarees and walnut Chelsea boots.

How important is horsemanship to the modern-day gentleman? Hundred years ago I'd say it was a very important subject to be learned, but now days I'd say a majority of men have little to no idea how to ride a horse. I use a horse for my job, so horsemanship is important skill for me. For a banker man though, I'd say basic vehicle maintenance is the modern day equivalent. What are y'all thoughts?

Hey gents!!!, I’m in urgent need of your advice. I’m going for a coffee meeting in few hours, and it’s going to be a bit windy. Which look do you think would work better? Both outfits are the same except one has a maroon/burgundy turtleneck and the other has a black turtleneck. Keep in mind that the pants are navy blue
