Clothing

In General

• Twitter thread on "Shape and Drape" in clothes, by derek guy, @dieworkwear.

In summary:
1. Try to wear a jacket. Or find ways to layer
2. Pay attention to the complex construction of clothes
3. Don't assume everything has to be slim-fit
4. Think about outfits as shapes
5. Pay attention to how fabric drapes
IMO, that's what ppl admire in good outfits

Materials

It's curious how troubled I am by polyester ties and polypropolene rugs, even those that seem as good as silk and wool. Is it the memory of that guy in college who would menace freshman suit jackets with his cigarette lighter? Is there a deeper reason to prefer the natural?
