Any interest in discussing men's fashion? [View all]

One of the things that has interested me my entire adult life on the subject of how to "man" is basic men's fashion. By this I don't mean cutting edge trends on what is in and what is out, but rather the essential timeless elements that really haven't changed much in the last 100 years or so if not longer. Both my dad and grandfather knew how to dress and passed on much of that to me. What I find is many people younger and even the same age as me just don't even know the very basic things like how to tie a tie or shine your shoes or iron clothes, much less what to pair with what and how to build a versatile wardrobe that serves you for any occasion you might encounter. The other day I was asked about this subject and I realized there's so much information you could spend a lot of time discussing it and really not even scratch the surface about what things are really nice to know.
