Tuesday Favorites: Men's Accessory

[B52G8rAC]

I get the non-iron CT shirts and they hold up pretty well--usually can get 2-3 wears out of them before taking to the dry cleaners to press/light starch and they don't wrinkle much.

I dressed up to walk the acreage today. Orange Gator Tee, 5.11 Tactical shorts (OD Green), Slip on Sketchers. Wore a GI Issue bucket cap and Oakley shades for the 2 hours I was out looking at the roses, pulling a few weeds, sipping a lemonade on the back porch and moving some heavy stuff for the bride. Shirt didn't wrinkle, probably wear it tomorrow. High today was 71 with 16% humidity. And no ironing. Life is tough sometimes.

got the cape to go with his Mess Dress because, well, pilots gonna pilot!

In the Marines its called a 'boat cloak' and yes I damn near ordered one just to be a raging smartass at every formal event.

13 years in the Corps and I never saw anyone actually wear one.

It'll be board shorts and a longsleeve Drifit polyester for me tomorrow! Taking the boat down to Sanibel/Captiva.

I have to dress a bit nicer in present line of work; but Gator polos/tees and Oakleys are a staple all other hours of the day.

I had to look this up. It’s says “comfy” but I highly doubt it.

These are ridiculous. How do you hide the 'stirrup' part from showing under you trouser leg when you sit down? The proper ones clip to your shirt like shown, but the bottom end clips to the top of your sock to hold your sock up too, and the whole thing stays hidden.

Here's the only accessory anyone needs these days.

This actually shocks me that you *didn't* get one for precisely that reason.

Everything I thought I knew about you is wrong.

I didn't see the option to select your mom.

I think they’re a great compliment. Perfect for going out on a cross country walk, celebrating New Year’s with a drunken invalid or interrupting a Black Panther Party.

As promised in another thread, what's everyone's favorite men's accessory(ies).

Some have proffered suspenders.
Others have said cufflinks.

There's also the classic tie.
Bowtie.

Discuss.

Beer

Beer

Yeah. I’ve worn beer with my suit and tie before. It’s not as cool as that Marines cape, but it was decent from what I recall.

Tried those once but they suck with flip flops and shorts

Would a Shield 40 be considered an accessory?
I consider it a part of my wardrobe.
