One button Suits VS Two Button Suits VS Three Button Suits

This question came from Your Favorite Writer’s Favorite Writer (The one who wrote: Guest Manifesto: I’m from the Place where Hardcore is Beautiful):
“What is your opinion of the 1 button suit?”
Funny you ask, I have been rocking tons of One Buttons lately and chopping it up like a chainsaw thru Nutella. (And I love Nutella.)
Although I am no fashion historian, I would say it goes like this:
One Button Suit: Kind of Jazz man smooth. Rat pack steez. Stylishly sleek. Good for picking up Models and Nightlife Princesses. For the Nightshift. Swooping fly girls on the veranda overlooking the Med. Suit worn not because you have to wear a suit for work.
Two Button Suit: Universal. Biz Stilo. Works well on all builds. Good all around battle tested swoop gear. Timeless. JFK.
Three Button Suit: 60’s Mod style. Good for taller cats. Can be Rakish.
Side note:
Four Button Suit: NFL wide receiver. A la Michael Irvin.
Five Button Suit (and up): Hoops. Charles Oakley.
But Like my Grandfather always told me; “Style and Taste are for men. Trends and Fashion are for the ladies.” G’s stick with Style and Taste.

Down Economy: Bar Poaching
Its no secret that I am not a fan of credit cards. I prefer CASH.
With the Down Economy, younger G’s I know have been telling me about a phenomenon that has been gathering speed: Bar Poaching.
Yet another reason not to use credit cards
Bar Poaching is when someone at the bar overhears the name on your tab and continues to order drinks on your tab.
And at the end of the night when you go to pay, you get racked. Unless of course, you are using a fake credit card, which is acceptable.
You have been warned.
Just hope people the poachers don’t hit you for Bottle Service, credit card guy.
CASH has way more style points anyway.
Side Note:
I don’t Bar Poach. I can afford drinks. Furthermore, I get pro-bono’d almost everywhere anyways.

Wale’s Elitaste disses Ed Hardy
It’s not secret that I have distain for Ed Hardy and “Ed Hardy Guy” and have waged a personal war against the latter. (Just like I waged a victorious campaign against “Shiny Shirt Guy”, “Trucker Hat Guy” and “Striped Shirt Guy” before him.)
Chris R sent me the info on Elitaste dissing Ed Hardy:
Let’s face it, most of the people who read this site probably hate Ed Hardy as much as Wale does. I used to hate Ed Hardy. And don’t get me wrong, you would never catch me wearing it. But here’s what I’ve realized about Ed Hardy (and you can throw Von Dutch, Christian Audigier and Affliction in there too), as much as I hate them, never before has a clothing company told you so much about the person wearing it. With the rise of streetwear over the past few years, you have all these kids aspiring to be something or associated with something, but with Ed Hardy, there is like ZERO irony in wearing it. People genuinely think it’s cool. They aren’t TRYING to be cool. They actually think they’ve achieved coolness and that Ed Hardy is the tits when it comes to t-shirts (or trucker hats with roses and rhinestones). The poor decision-making that goes into incorporating Ed Hardy into a wardrobe is very telling about someone’s taste and thought process. With that said, I have turned my disdain of Ed Hardy into something of a human litmus test; a sort of fashion iodine that exposes douchebaggery. Although I think athletes can be exempted from this, as I saw Michael Beasley get turned away from Villa (a very hot club in LA) for wearing Ed Hardy. He just doesn’t know any better.
It’s about time. Maybe the world is changing.
For the better.
