I love hearing clients or patrons talk down a leather sole deeming it uncomfortable before stepping into a pair. Just the blanket statement that "hard soles" are uncomfortable. It is just like when Antonio has spoken about how those who may not be accustomed to wearing a suit/sportcoat may think it is automatically uncomfortable from the get-go. I have always been a leather sole man because of the added value of resoling a pair of shoes and lengthening the lifespan of a potential favorite pair.

I've only recently made the conscious effort to dress better earlier this year and I've found myself spending time each morning looking in the mirror feeling awkward and second guessing every article of clothing. However I recieved an interesting comment just this morning that changed how I see myself. There was a department wide video conference, so about 20 people across the US and not just the handful in my office. With a white button up shirt, sleeves rolled and cuffed just below the elbow, a medium grey tweed waistcoat and navy blue chinos I was looking slightly dapper. One of my remote coworkers pointed it out and said they liked my fancy vest. Another remote coworker said "Well yeah, thats just Steve. He's the only one of that still gets dressed up on these calls." Looking around I saw that almost every single person was in t-shirt, sweatshirt or hoodie. Being recognized for my outfit was nice, however being recognized as the guy who's expected to wear this outfit is a massive boost to my confidence.

I want to thank you all gentleman for the time and helpful comments and information you have expressed to me. Recently I have popped on and off on Skool communities for all Real Men Real style communities and found that I will not be able to continue due to the schedule , Priorities and financial situation. I wish you all the best and a Great farewell.

If you didn't grow up with a need to dress nice on a regular basis, I may feel awkward to put on a suit even for a special occasion. This was me until family recently. I own a business I worked by myself from home since My early college days and I'm not particularly social so there was no need to dress up. Staring law school forced me I to being social and compelled me to dress appropriately for the field. Despite getting well-fitted suits that I know look nice, I still feel a bit awkward especially in the trousers. The thin light material often feels "insufficient" (compared to the denim I normally wear) I can say I've gotten used to the feel, and despite a good fit, the material still feels somewhat alien. I suppose with enough exposure it will get more and more familiar. All that being said, the highest level of classy I would say is "comfortable" (in mind not physically) is nice jeans, dress shirts and sport jacket. What about you?
