I can't abide him and his unposh wife.<BR/><BR/>Of the pics on this post, they suit you and George Clooney, even Andy Garcia pulls off the look very well.<BR/><BR/>Don't you stop buying ascots, Rick.

These cravats only enhance you and I like that you are reporting on them! ;) <BR/><BR/>My husband is built like an ox and I don't know if he can wear them. Can a bigger guy wear them very well or do they just look like victims of fashion?<BR/><BR/>You look scrumptious and I think that Mr. Clooney may be upset seeing how your picture near to his gives him a run for his leading man image!Tea N.

And that is the other thing about Ascots...They denote "Gentleman" to me!<BR/><BR/>I think it would be fun Rick, if you did a post on where you bought each one of those 15 Ascots that you already own..(Or two Posts, if needed....!)

But the ascot/cravat thing -now that is really a very nice, tres vogue touch in my opinion. You look like your going to a ball of big gala but don't look like you have lost a comfort zone in your clothes. Just quite chic. (Are men chic? Or is that supposed to be a female term?) Anywho, I liked the gold or the burgundy ascots pictured the best.Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.com
