I received two sweaters from a major departemtn store which were the wrong size. I went to the store today to exchange them and I was stunned by the dress of the men's department employees.(The women staff, in contrast, were well groomed and well dressed.) Most male emplouees wore baggy, ill-fitting jeans thar puddled around their ankles. Shirts were not fully tucked in or ironed. Totally not what I expected. Does the store expect me to ask these employees for style advice when buying clothing? I spoke with the manager on duty and asked her if there was a dress policy for employees and she said that they had one, but it was"loose." She said that she spent most of her time in the women's department and asked me to escort her down to the men's department to show her what I was speaking about. She audibly gasped. She promised to bring it up at their next manager meeting. I am still in shock over the slovenly appearance of the men's department staff. I won't return to this store again. Have you experienced this while shopping?

I hear too many men saying that they smoke cigars becasue there is lower incidence of lung cancer. This may be true, but there is a much higher incidence of oral cancer. As bad as lung cancer is (and it is devistating), oral cancer is much more traumatic. I won't go into detail, but ir is life altering in a way that lung cancer s not. Please stop smoking cigars and stop smoking in general.

Has anyone noticed that male TV personalities do not snug up their ties? It drives me crazy, that every day you will see men with their ties not pulled up to cover thier top buttons. If their collar is open, I can accept that, but otherwise it is just sloppy in my opinion. Thoughts?

I am having rotator cuff surgery nest week and I am thinking about getting a sling bag,since getting into my pockets may be restrictive. Any thoughts on sling bags?

OK, so by introducing yourself you are guaranteed to get to level 2 - it's really that easy and I LOVE learning more about the cool people in this group. Feel free to share where you're from, why you're here, what you do for a living, and what you like about style. Are you a watch guy, suit guy, fragrance guy, or maybe just getting started? Have fun here!
