Community Feedback Survey: Tells Us Your Thoughts
Greetings everyone, We invite every member of the community to participate in a brief feedback survey designed to help us listen more attentively, discern more clearly, and grow together with intention. Your voice is essential to shaping the direction, culture, and future of this society. The survey is fully anonymous. No identifying information is collected. We ask that you respond with candor, care, and completeness so that the insights we receive are both meaningful and constructive. Most questions are marked as required to ensure we have a coherent picture of the community’s experience, while a few remain optional for those who wish to elaborate more deeply. Survey is via Google Form, see link below. Please take a few moments to offer your honest perspective. Thoughtful feedback, whether affirming or critical, is a gift that enables refinement, strengthens trust, and supports the shared standard to which we all aspire.

Important, Please Take A Few Minutes To Read.
From the Desk Of The Managing Director Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I want to take a few minutes of your time to ask you these questions. Why are you a member of The Society of Ordinary Gentlemen? What brought you to this society? These questions are not to question if you belong here not by any means; no just the opposite, we want to know what brought you here to the society and what do you hope to gain, learn, and desire to obtain from this society. The Society of Ordinary Gentlemen is not like any of these Skool communities that you see, this not an online fraternity, or Facebook like community, or not even a instagram posting center. This society was created because there are men in women who have specific values, morals, and beliefs for a society that promotes and encourages the qualities of ladies and gentlemen that were once established and have since become extinct. The Society of Ordinary Gentlemen has been very successful in creating a place for ladies and gentlemen to have a place of solitude, a sanctuary; for ladies and gentlemen such as yourselves, to come together to share thoughts, ideas, to communicate with like minded people, and to build a society that will encourage others to become a better version of themselves while incorporating the qualities that are in our constitution. To accomplish this, we have instituted certain criteria’s and questions that potential members must meet and the requirements and standards to be allowed to have access to this society. Thus so far we have been able to keep and limited the number of bots, and people whose intentions were not that of the society from gaining access. And it is because of this that we do not have hundreds or thousands of members, but the members that we do have; have the qualities that meet the standards of the society. We have a constitution, and bylaws established to preserve the integrity of this society with regards to discrimination, prejudice, or treating others respect. But here is the thing, we want to grow this society not by numbers but by sincere members who understand and want to build this society to be the best that it can be. We; as far we are aware, are the few if not the only one who have live video meetings on a regular basis, that allow members to have access to the board members by email, video, or phone call. We have a governing board, and are a non profit organization, meaning that all money that comes in goes directly back into the society of offer teachings, training, and access to the Gentlemen’s Marketplace where members can purchase merchandise at reasonable and low prices. Because there is no overhead, profit margins, or payroll to be paid out. This society is free to all members, and any person that would like to donate or pledge a donation to the society is fully aware that all donations, monies, and other contributions go strictly to the society and not to any board members, promoting company, or an affiliated sponsor. Everything’s go strictly to the society for things this Skool site which cost monthly $99.00, the website that we now have, and other things like hosting meet and greets, training videos, giveaways, websites hosting, and merchandise. All these things that everyone enjoys are being funded by donations.

Observational Warning: Stretching of Grenadine ties
Greetings gents, I would like to share with you my observations regarding daily wear of a grenadine tie. First, if you are unfamiliar with grenadine ties, then I would like to refer you to an excellent video explaining the history, the craftsmanship, and types of grenadine. Please see: https://youtu.be/n-MVQpg_tjM?si=nXYDWxLHhMEblM0q Now onto my observation: I have been wearing a solid color navy grenadine (garza fina) for daily office wear. I have had the pleasure of receiving a few compliments of the tie. I usually use a Shelby (aka Pratt) knot when tying my navy grenadine tie. This knot produces a slightly larger and more symmetrical knot than the ubiquitous four-in-hand (aka schoolboy) knot. Recently, I have noticed that my navy grenadine tie has stretched. As the posted image reveals, I’ve compared it against a burgundy grenadine tie (garza fina) – which gets little wear. The navy grenadine tie, though originally the same length as the burgundy, shows a serious stretch! The impact of this stretching has forced me to either use lower waisted trousers (which I refuse to do), or increase my knot size from Shelby to full Windsor. This has been a temporary solution since I have detected that the bigger knots (more turns & pulls) puts greater strain on the grenadine material, which in turn stretches the fabric! Why did my grenadine tie stretch in the first place? Researching for a potential solution to reverse the effects of grenadine stretching, I discovered that the primary reason for stretching has to do with how the tie is stored. Yes, improper tie storage will stretch the grenadine. ☹ Why? The particular grenadine weave, unlike the popular silk (satin or madder), shantung, wool, blends, is looser in comparison and takes longer to produce. The loose structure can result in stretching over time by improper storage. I discovered improper storage consists of hanging a grenadine tie - if it is worn daily; since, it does not give the tie proper care to reset/recover if its stress of being tied/untied.
