The so-called "dandy fashion"
I know 5 companies including "Modern Gentleman" magazine are selling crap, some of it is pretty good, those 5 companies include Brooks Brothers and Cole Haan to name a few and I'm not stating them all because I'm not advertising. So I went on a dressing adventure to say the least getting dressed for far too long wearing for the occasion my vest, my Scottish scarf, my cap (not an informal one and not a baseball cap), my corduroy trousers, and in fancy restaurants, my tweed, and am planning to buy that $41 cashmere scarf (10% was taken off the usual $49 price), and that dreadfully expensive packable trench coat (coloured navy because to me it's setting the standard in a trench coat) which at best is about $380. These are Australian websites because my internet won't let me shop at American websites. And what I look like as a "dandy" gentleman is an ultrahandsome man of casual wear dressed in muted tones when in wearing my tweed, should stand out with a brightly coloured pocket hanky. And the daunting reality is I have to spend the extra money on that ridiculously priced ($58) science bow tie with pocket square which are sold together (on the internet), and to save my money I would have to stop phoning my mother for a week so I can have $90 to spend at Mum's house and then I can afford a show or movie on YouTube, without ever getting out of Mum's house except to buy some wine, but hopefully not because I think I should save my wine so I don't ever have to leave her house (I'm in the room outside all day and night when at Mum's house when today when I wrote this I was at Dad's house in my brother Ashley's room). Plus to keep my face and hands in tip top shape I would have to go shopping for eye creams and good cream for my hands, and to smell good I would need a signature cologne, this "dandyism" is a lot of work and a lot of money, but once I have everything I need I'm not spending that much money on my appearance again, they just want to make more money off you with crap half of which you don't need!
