Not only does one feel different when wearing something smart versus something louche, but one behves and talks differently. This in turn can influence how the wearer is treated. I find it much easier to be authoritative when wearing a well cut suit but much easier to get my car properly looked at when wearing something workaday. Interesting topic.<br />Incidentally, bolwer hats are quite uncomfortable unless made for you aren't they?Perlnumquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13719930860859412405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962065481584052844.post-82646299734890945532011-03-05T13:09:12.092-08:002011-03-05T13:09:12.092-08:00Loving your blog

I did think of doing a presentation to the NSC on something along the lines of political dressing but figured I'd bore most people (f)rigid. <br /><br />Needless to say that long before Neil Kinnock was taken to a tailor and told to start wearing dark suits to make him more statesman like and thinner; Lenin wore a bowler hat. <br /><br />Like most revolutionaries (then and now) he was rather middle class. Still the spinners got hold of him and said "beret for you Vlad my boy, now back on the train to Russia 1st class like Compton-Bassett".<br /><br />It's amazing how much your ancestors have influenced history. <br /><br />Giles Culpepper aka Archie ConservativePilkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13470702456442585844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962065481584052844.post-9279858055945544662011-02-08T04:44:11.981-08:002011-02-08T04:44:11.981-08:00Throughly enjoyable read old man - I do have one s...Throughly enjoyable read old man - I do have one slight disagreement to make though, detailed below.<br /><br />The bit discussing clothes-as-class; It has long been a fine tradition in Britain for any hard-working man to be able to start on the road to betterment by the simple act of buying a pair of smart shoes, learning to tie a half-windsor, and generally not acting like a barbarian. The key, however, is in the clothes - the impression given, as you state, is very important in your daily life - I don't find any offense in a 'poor' fellow buying some decent shoes and a nice tie, if his aim is actually to climb the ivory tower. <br /><br />I do agree that mere affectation is likely to annoy everyone around you, however.D.G-Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06734130291381888511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962065481584052844.post-83709813185491027142011-02-07T14:50:59.281-08:002011-02-07T14:50:59.281-08:00Well written dear Rob!
