    Wear holes in my off-brand jeans, tear off the tags, bleach & shrink them. Then sell 'em to the students as Designer jeans for Big Buck$

    I'm not into fashion. I grew up on a farm, so I learned young that it isn't what's "cool" or "fashionable"....it's about comfort.
    Everything I wear is comfortable, even if it doesn't look great.

    Like most of you, I am into comfort when I dress. I am 6 ft tall and about 240 lbs. Those stats could be for an Outside Linebacker on alot of NFL teams, but I am not put together quite like they are. I have bulges in places that they don't have places. I used to go clothes shopping and be frustrated at not finding things in my size. About ten years ago, I started shopping on the internet. It is easy, my size is always there and the prices are about the same. Sometimes I can even find free shipping. I usually buy from a place that has a store in my town so that I can return it if there is a problem. It works out great, I highly suggest it.

    Like most others here, i'm a jeans and Tshirt or shirt man.
    Don't care about brands, as long as they fit. Must add, i do have a preference for western shirts, hence i do wear Wrangler or Ely type shirts a lot.

    Wearing this one now, with black Wrangler jeans. (to match my black Akubra).

    looks cool enough to me, spinifex..
    guess the old denim jeans and T-shirt is the most prevalent, these days..

    in my old 60's days, I used to wear some really crazy outfits - necklaces, armbands, headbands, sandals - loved that crazy paisley stuff, I wore it all the time - silk shirts - even skirts in moments of crazy loon-outs - hippy madness, I guess - but it did look super-cool at the time..

    - what do you like to wear nowadays..??
    - never mind all that functionality bullshine - what you gonna wear to look good in, guys..

    - so, get on down to your favourite internet clothing store and shop around - send in your piccies..
    - what you gonna pick up for yourself, to impress the girl (wife), mates, etc..??
    - yeah, I know we gotta take age into consideration - us older guys won't be wearing some of these swish catwalk outfits..

    - I live out in the country - small town - I'm 60+ 5ft 10ins - slim, 11stone - for what it's worth, so how 'bout tweed, casual etc..
    - 'spose the county set round here regard themselves as the height of cool, but I have other notions..
    - I'm a city guy at heart and like to get out in the lights occasionally..

    ideas, guys - I need inspiration..

    sitting here?
    currently wearing pale blue and white pin-striped Church shirt, non-descript gold cuff-links - no other "jewelery" apart from Silver/Gold watch bracelet.. straight-leg DenimCo Boot Fit jeans - 'bout half-inch turn-up - waxed Anatomic pigskin lace-up shoes..
    - feels OK to wear for messin' around in, but very "ordinary" - you get me..??

    - how 'bout something for that night out with the good lady
    - say a smooth, quiet restaurant.. low lights - jazz..??

    This is the kind of jeans I'm talking about. These bad boys are made of 17oz hand woven denim. Made on American and British handlooms they bought of us a century ago.
    They are so stiff and heavy it reminds me of my first pair of Levi's in the 60s.

    Like you BM I went through many fashion stages. I was a sort of mod on the tail end of that, then grew my hair and wore platform soles and loon pants with kaftans and beads etc.
    I was a wee bit too old for punk and I certainly didn't go for the rather silly bondage trouser look. Piercings aren't good on a social worker and I was thinning so a mohican was out.
    However there was a thread to punk fashion that harked back to mods so I went that way. Smart jackets with pencil thin knitted ties and my beloved jeans.

    I'm pretty much wearing that look still at 56. Right now I'm wearing a sort of orange/terracotta canvas shirt (that I've had for years)over a pale blue fruit of the loom t shirt, some Edwin's Selvage jeans (14oz) and some Fly suede boots.

    The good thing about traditional cut jeans is that there basically a work garment and consequently very comfortable.

    Oh and for a special night out, say to a restaurant etc. I don't think you can beat a dark suit and tie and some black oxford shoes. The only problem I have is with ties.
    Most ties these days are too broad for my taste.
    What I've done is scour the charity shops and I now have a selection of thin ties, some with regular ends and others with square cut ends.:)

    Well I'll chime in here and say it's not what's on the outside that impresses us but what sort of a person you are on the inside

    Sorry but all that strutting about trying to look something you're not certainly wouldn't turn me on.

    Cargo pants and a (dark) t-shirt year round. I just change between cargo pants and cargo shorts when it gets cold or warm. Jacket when necessary.

    Comfort and functionality > fashion.
