Are not these rules guidance for the mere fop or entirely superficial man? As well, technology has allowed a loosening of these once practical rules.

Also, this code of dress seems designed for the turn of the 20th century, and is highly outdated.

An edit upon the code may be put forth, and applicable to men such as ourselves. Mayhaps a fashionable person will construe a slightly modified set of rules.

Some, however, are befitting to this day. in exemplum: the application of tight clothing; the rules of stripes; the law of gloves, for we all know, “if the glove don’t fit, you must acquit”.

Begging the pardon of the last gentleman, to so hastily dismiss the article in question as being superfluous materialism — why that in itself is no less than brazen poppymale reproductive organ and foolhardy disregard for the ways of civilized man. Do clothes not, as they say, make the man? Of what use is it to a man to be refined of speech yet course in appearance? Are we but the savages of the native negroid realms, disposed to equipping our appearance with remnants of animal carcbum and other such refuge as may strike us upon some whim? I dare say, good sir, any more such tomfoolery of that nature and I shan’t but question your attestation as to that of a fellow gentleman.

Good fellows, I implore perchance you will forgive my display of up in arms bravado in this matter. Such irresponsible and forgoing sentiments regarding one’s apparel tend to illicit my pbumion; I seek only to correct and provide guidance to my fellow gentlemen where it may hap behoove them.
