An eccentric wedding band situation
A close family member of mine recently got divorced, and they kept the wedding band that they bought for their now-ex-husband. After a time, my family member came to me and said she wanted me to "inherit" the wedding band as a sign of appreciation for stick through all the hard times. Would it be unorthodox for me to wear the wedding band, which is a solid black with a crimson red center trim, on my right hand, far from the standard wedding ring finger on the left hand?

I am wholeheartedly grateful and appreciative for all of the responses and opinions, men. Given all of this feedback and the negative energy that still permeates my relative's house, I've decided to keep the divorce-band in it's box as a keepsake 🙂 Hopefully I don't come across a black cat or any wayward ladders today now 😅

Make time for your friends!
Remember boys, life is short. Let those you love know it and spend time with people that really give a shit about you!

I've never been married, but I've been best friends with the same man for 25 years now. At some point, I started referring to him as my Best Man, because at some point and after so many trials and tribulations, your best friend SHOULD become your Best Man!

A question for all the work-boot folk
Does anyone who works in industries that require safety shoes feel more comfortable in those safety shoes than in casual shoes? Even when going for short walks up and down my street or even while in my house, I find myself in my work boots because I feel more stable and secure in them. This doesn't mean, though, that I wear them EVERYWHERE; leather shoes for social life and my hiking boots for inclement weather have a solid place in my wardrobe as well!

@Sean Kavanaugh I likewise love wearing my hiking boots or the Timberlands I've been gifted to me by my Mother. I've always noticed I've gotten used to the weight of the safety boots over time, as well as a certain agitating feel with steel toe boots if I clip my toenails a little to close.

Signitures
So 'style' question. Not traditional style, but what's everyone's stance on signatures and how they're written when signing documents? I've always signed my name in print, but wondering what everyone's opinion is on that and how it ties into a personal style and social standing. We haven't taught cursive in Britain since the 60s/70s, so my signature has only ever been in print.

My signature is in cursive, but how much of my name comes out depends on the context of the signature. At a medical office or pharmacy, even if it's a tablet signature, I'll sign only my initials in cursive. However, I had a stint as a dangerous goods handler, and when I filled out handling papers for the dangerous goods, I would scrawl my entire name in a jumble of cursive; was protocol my first + & last name had to be given in case the item carrier had to trace the shipment back to me.

Bunching Long sleeves, Sweaters, Henleys, etc.?
We all roll our long sleeves from time to time. In button-ups it is (at least for me) very straight forward but when it comes to sweaters, henleys and others I had a thought a few days ago looking in the mirror and it might be a bit “too detail focused”. However I still wanted to ask if anyone has thought about that or even has some “rules” established for themselves: When you pull up your sleeves “Do you make sure how the bunched up sleeves look on your upper arms?” As in: do you evenly try and distribute the fabric? Bunch everything in the bottom or the upper part? Or maybe some crazy combination? (Examples provided below) Appreciating your insights! 😄

For sweatshirts, I simply push my sleeves halfway up my forearm or until they get snug and comfortable. For button downs and Henley's I used a foldup method with the intent of getting the folded sleeve just under the crease in the elbow and the fold + line of the sleeve to be as perfectly uniform as possible. The same technique was used for my food service line cook jackets. Those jackets now have button-anchors for the rolled sleeves to keep the sleeves in place, which is a lifesaver during the dinner rush!
