Up to now, I have been drawing random generic suit jackets.

Never again.

I don’t think it’s accidental that the English Cut suit seems to be worn by Mr Bond. ;->

And, though not shown on the infographic, don’t forget suits with double-breasted jackets, which have been in style for decades: here are examples from the 1920s to the 1970s.

After the ‘70s, that style faded away until it made a return in the mid-2010s when IIRC “Kingsman” caused a real-world uptick in suits for everyday wear.

Also NB that the Tuxedo drawing doesn’t actually show a Tuxedo, unless it’s an American terminology with which I’m not familiar. That’s a tailcoat, which has tails, is a coat and is worn with white tie.

A Tuxedo (over here, a dinner-jacket) is in the next panel, Black vs White Tie, and doesn’t have tails, is a jacket and is worn with black tie.

Wearing the wrong thing can lead to confusion, whether accidental or snarkily deliberate.

(The link to YouTube keeps dropping off this post. If it goes away again, the clip is here. A longer version with a fuller development of what’s going on, is here.)

Interesting side-note, the tuxedo / dinner-jacket was a development of the old smoking jacket, and its name in many Continental European languages - French, German, Italian, Spanish - is still “der / le / lo / el smoking”…

“Downton Abbey” and “Jeeves and Wooster” are good sources of info for how these looked when worn regularly at their set times of day, rather than just on special occasions as nowadays.

Hugh Laurie as Bertie Wooster gets excellent mileage from his tailoring, wearing it properly as clothing not costume, and looks at ease in formal attire even when his only (IIRC) white-tie appearance is in the dock of a magistrate’s court.

Even so, he seems much more comfortable (and hangover-free, mostly) in everyday suits which, though somewhat dated in details, would still look good today.

learn you some menswear

The song and its lyrics are composed by John Lowrie (the Sniper), who alongside Robin Atkin Downes (Medic) is on guitar and vocals. Also on vocals we have Gary Schwartz (Heavy, Demoman) and Dennis Bateman (Spy), while on piano is Ellen McLain (the Administrator). The song details, in Lowrie's words, "the TF2 Mercs' struggle to find the Sandvich for Heavy."

I love that I’m seeing this because right now I’m watching the Aurora too from where I am in Aotearoa. Hello to you, fellow citizen of earth! What a wonderful world.

It's a beautiful thing, all the connections.

I don’t usually see content relating to NPD unless it’s “here’s how to spot a narcissist! [4000 word essay about their abusive family member]” so I thought this was worth a boost

So, thanks to President Biden’s Infrastructure Bill, remote locations on the Navajo Nation Reservation will be receiving electricity for the first time — ever.

Also, water treatment devices are being developed to help the tribe access clean running water. After decades without.

It makes me happy when they listen
