Boys, Mens, Don't Do This.....

 And if you already have, well, we will try and get you straightened out. 

This past week on my YouTube, the following videos have popped up on Hugo Jacomet's site, AskOkay's site, the Gentleman's Gazette. 

And it concerns you having a black suit. 

Especially if you buy it as your first suit.  

Now I know this is SE Texas, and well, people just don't dress up. I understand this, however, if for some reason you decide to get a suit, please, don't do this.....

A Black Suit....

If we lived in Victorian or even Edwardian England in the late 1800s, early 1900s, the color of men's frock coat, or business coats was black.....But by the 1950s, this changed dramatically. 

Black Suits were seen to be worn by people in mourning...

And if you are funeral director or undertaker, or you are in the funeral business, well black is an appropriate color. 

Men, boys, and ladies,( if ladies,  you're shopping for your BF, husband, dad, brother, etc...... ) your first suit , should be navy....and if you get a second suit, charcoal grey. 

A basic navy suit will work for anything. A job interview, work in an office,  a wedding, a funeral, a night on the town. 

And if you just cannot stand a navy suit, get the charcoal grey. It'll work...

Please, make it a solid, don't be like me and more and more of my suits are pinstripes( Economics Teacher. The banking community first started wearing pinstripes, and it symbolizes commerce today.) or I have a khaki suit with a blue Prince of Wales check. ( I am dying to wear that one to a wedding. )

Sorry, couldn't do economics today and to be honest may take the next two days off from blogging. ( Unless something big happens, like a UFO lands in the middle of Hwy96 in front of Black Gold for some BBQ.)
