Sometimes if I'm wearing black jeans and a black shirt, I'll wear a black belt and brown shoes. I know it probably goes against every made up fashion rule, but to me, having the brown boots without the brown belt to break up the black just makes the boots pop more.

I can’t believe this. There is no such a think as a fashion belt. A gentleman should never wear a belt with a suite. Suite pains should have either side adjusters or worn with braces (no clip on suspenders)! No belts with big buckles.

My favorite belt is a cheapo from Walmart. It's reinforced nylon with leather. It's ugly, but it's 10 years old and still a great work belt. I don't even know what brand it is. My policy on belts is that if you have belt loops, wear a belt.

00:07 '...learned to not underestimate the fighters of India.' What makes you think that Sam Browne would underestimate Indian fighters? He was born in India, he had been with Indian regiments from the age of 18 and he had 18 years of experience serving with 'Indian fighters'. Seems to me he was pobably perfectly aware of the fighting capabilities of the Indian warrior.

I normally don't do plugs, but I will for Anson. I recently purchased their box set, 3 straps and 2 buckles, in two shades of brown and one oxblood, colors I didn't have before. I've been wearing black micro-adjust belts for about 8 years, so that part didn't sell me as I know how great they are. The problem is the ones I've bought before, from a department store and online, don't last. On my work belt, the coating is coming off the buckle and the cheap leather is wearing through. On the other, I can see the finish starting to come off of the buckle. When I got the box set, I could smell the leather as soon as I opened the box. The straps are thicker than my other ones and seem to be more well-made. I think these will last a long time. On the ones I've bought before, buckle interchangeability isn't there. With Anson, it is. I have had two types of buckles before, ones where you lift the entire front of the buckle to loosen and one where you have a lever underneath to do it like Anson. I was leery about that because the other one I have can be difficult to undo. I have had no problems undoing either buckle from Anson. They're a bit more pricey than the $25-30 belts online, but they are also much better quality. The box set for $100 works out to be as good a deal as buying 3 online. You won't be disappointed.

Lots of yadda yadda to say that you can wear whatever you darn well want to....matching...not matching. To me, it's silly to see a guy with trousers that have belt loops and he's not wearing a belt. Likewise, it is silly looking to me to see a guy with dress clothes/shoes on, and NO SOCKS. It just looks like he forgot something when he got dressed. And you think those feet aren't going to get sweaty in the shoes? Of course, you can always wear foot liners. Now casual shoes...fine. Just me...old school.

What do you really miss about her? To paraphrase Patrice Oneal: When you are having a good time at a party with your buddies have you ever said: you know what would make this party even better? If my girl was here. Ofcourse not. You can not build your life around a woman. Go hit the gym hard a couple of times a week, find a passion project to work on in your free time. Wondering why she left is pointless. Move on, stay active. You will feel better after a while.
