#1 Color challenged to say the least. A Lucky Guy could start a real revolution with a little peach accent silk added to the edges. A Lucky smile would help and never count out a Lucky Guy in premium leather!

#2 Umm.. you just might. The cap looks like a standard issue navy wool watch cap. Maybe the rest of the outfits, but the hat itself looks very familiar.

#3 That dude in the grey suit looks looks like he would be particularlly apealing to a Queer-eye guy.

#4 I saw guys dressed like this 20 years ago. We called them derelicts.

#5 I live in DC, and the metrosexuals are running rampant here. I've made a resolution to buy only carhart and dickies(except for suits). I can't think of a catchie name for my style though...

#6 Carharts and Dickies?

Thats the Colorado look - always has been out here. Need functional clothes out here if you live on a ranch, or actually work for a living (or ride a motocycle all year round like ~~I do~~ some fools do).

Funny thing this year is Carhart & Dickies are what the high school kids are buying to be "in style".

#7 MJH, right on bro'. Carhartt's and a good durable flannel is what I wear as well when I'm not in my day to day tree-suit. I'm also hick enough to appreciate hunting camo wear and a good pair of construction boots. A catchy name for our manner of dress could be "construction site fabulous". I have nothing against homo's but any supposedly straight man that can "accesorize" or espouses the creativity of armani must be viewed with a jaundiced eye.

Also, I believe a man should always have a clean bowling shirt on hand as well, never know when you might have to go as some girl's date to a wedding ;)

#10 Jeans, flannel shirt, work boots, and a straw cowboy hat/JD baseball cap: High fashion for much of Middle-America's non-industrial working men.

#11 As I recall, this shit happened once before, round about the time of the French Revolution and before. Guys dressed in velvets, silks, wigs and whatnot, with effeminate manners and snotty, arrogant attitudes.

Guess history really likes repeating itself, eh?

#12 Sorry, but these guys just look like burglars carrying bags of loot slung over their shoulders.
