Leo Mulvihill looks the classic man's man.
The hat is one clue. Displaying an old-school flair for style, the 25-year-old law student at Drexel University walks around campus sporting a vintage Brooks Brothers three-piecer and authentic 1960s Florsheims, his trilby cocked just so. --snip-- Say goodbye to the sensitive guy who cries at the drop of a pink tee, or the slacker living with his mother, playing video games. This new man has ambition and aplomb, brawn and brains.
Think Cary Grant, Teddy Roosevelt, or Ernest Hemingway.

I’m just on this thread for the pictures...
Damn metros.....
The wife likes the TV shows on Bravo.
One conversation from last night:::
Me: Is that a man?
Her: yes
Me: Did he just squeal and run in place waving his hands?
Her: yes
Me: ..and thats a man?
Her: yes
Me: Did he just say his thighs are to fat?
Her: yes
Me: ...and now he’s starting to cry?
Her: yes
Me: a man.
Her: yes
Me: a grown-ass man.
Her: yes
Me: damn!
YEAH!!!!! Whow my kind of man. Just looking at that picture is a pleasure........
Booze, boating, guns and a kid. Throw him in Jail! Take away his drivers license, fine him!
or Ernest Hemingway
Real men don’t cowardly kill themselves.
I agree with most of that. And personally, despite the fact that a lot of guys wore hats and fedoras way back when, I’d feel pretty stupid wearing one out in public.
“Alternate title: Easily-led ninnies stop pretending to be gay; now pretend to be straight.”
LOL. It’s sad when an article touts young men with “perfectly cocked trilbys” as reflecting a renaissance of manliness. Sounds more like young men continuing to obsess about how they look—which strikes me as the opposite of manly. If a guy is clean and dressed and groomed appropriately for the occasion, going much beyond that strikes me as kind of weird.
It’s sounds more like the current fad for obsession with one’s own appearance amongst young men appears to be different than the whole metrosexual fad last year.
I still remember the smell of my father’s fedora (which he stopped wearing when I was about 5. Nice smell, Nice memory.
I agree with you completely.
Me too. I took a very long sip of coffee while looking at that.
Mrs WBill watches it occasionally. I usually just get up and leave the room.
I have to deal with enough faux-drama at work. Don't need to watch poorly scripted faux drama on TV, too.
Although she was watching something or other with Heidi Klum the other evening. She said "Heidi Klum is always pregnant! What's up with that?". My response, "Can you BLAME her husband?!! Ka-POW!!!"
I got a pillow thrown at me, on my way out the door. I think that it was the "ka-POW" that did it....
Exactly. Over-the-top attention to dress is not a sign of manliness. Dressing in a good, conservative uniform so as to minimize the attention and girlish fretting about dress is what is manly.
LMAO.
at least this “retro” style that’s coming in- it’s something you might could appreciate.
personally, i don’t care what label they give me. i’m gonna keep drinking my beer, wearing the clothes i’m comfortable in, and remaining non-hairy.
Different if it's the style. Back in the day, you didn't go out, without one.
In the 50s, you'd feel stupid going out in public while wearing sneakers, shorts, and a red T-shirt with some pithy saying like "I'm with stupid" written across the back. :-) Now, I see kids showing up to interviews dressed like that.
Like I said, hopefully this trend will clean things up a bit in the office.
This sounds very similar to an article I just did a few weeks ago....

Macho man is bank, thank goodness.
I mentioned that site on my similar article I just posted on this thread.
My piece concerns a lot more than just dress, but the guy who runs that site mentioned the clothing issue like this one.
Longing for Miss Kitty’s cat house?
