Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

I shudder at the thought of what you might wear to a reception at the hungarian one...

An Armenian scalp seems fitting. Get out of prison early card there it seems.
Re: Getting dressed with SwordsMaster
There is an excellent table (shamelessly stolen from wikipedia) to illustrate what is meant by 'business', 'formal', or 'informal' attire. It also saves me having to provide separate links for each. It's not what most of you think.
Formality (descending) Daywear Eveningwear Ceremonial dress and Court dress country dependent Formal (or full formal, full dress, formal attire) Morning dress White tie (incl. ball gown for women) Semi-formal, (le smoking in French, distinct from a smoking jacket) Stroller Black tie (i.e. prob. evening dress for women) Informal (or [old fashioned] cocktail, business attire) incl. lounge suit for men

Shouldn't this be getting undressed with Swordmaster really, seems more fitting
Got a handie site for you www.theartofmanliness.com. This could just not work as the site hijacks my ipad (for a reason probably) and linking doesn't work.

Bedankt, Frag. I'm aware of it. Been following it since '07 or so. Lots of good stuff there.
The only problem with that site is that it gives a fundamentally american perspective on men's dress. Which is a lot more casual than it should be, in my opinion. A polo shirt doesn't make you 'smart-casual' It makes you casual in a polo shirt. Specially if you're not wearing pants.
Anyway, that's my ranting.

Re: Getting dressed with SwordsMaster
That's always been my problem: Soldiers dress likeI subscribe to the US Army school of thought when it comes to clothing. Uniform at work, loose T-shirt and jeans or shorts off work. Since I'm a civilian these days, its mostly just T-shirt and shorts. I have a closet with 15 identitical white T-shirts hanging side-by-side, and six pairs of identical blue jeans in a drawer. I don't know what the hell I'd wear to something where I had to look nice.. I know the Marines have a force dress code but soldiers always embarrass me when I see them off duty.
