I've been buying a ton of 5.11 stuff lately. Functional, light and well made - plus it looks good.

In case the other tech guys build paper clip guns and an office war breaks out?

I quite like Italian Renaissance, open top shirts like Assassins's Creed. I could go with that I reckon.

Some clothing styles seem to cycle back around every few decades. But some don't.

Without going back earlier than just our parents' ages, there was a time when men wore ties and coats and hats regularly.

When I was a kid most wore shirt, tie & hat in the cities. Of course as appropriate to profession/occupation and circumstance.

Cloaks. It would be cool to have a thick woolen cloak to wear in bad weather or at night. And by extension ponchos, like Clint Eastwood wears them in some of his Westerns.

Is that a real poncho, I mean like a Mexican poncho or is that Sears poncho.

I don't think anyone's mentioned it yet, but I've been thinking recently that I really wish that frock coats would come back into style. Granted, I've been watching a LOT of Doctor Who lately, but I just think that the general look of a frock coat is stylish and elegant.

Also, there's something to be said for a 3/4 length jacket, no so short that it only comes to your waist, but also, not so long that it goes below your knees. You don't see a lot of that kind of style around.

I assume you mean something different than an overcoat here -- because 3/4 length overcoats are all over the place, particularly for businesswear.

Frock coats are awesome.
