Men's Clothes Guide B — Page 2

This is the second page of the Men's Clothes Guide B. Page 1 covered the letter from band t-shirts through big and tall shirts; this page completes it, listing thirty-one more topics from big and tall shoes to the briefs that close the alphabet of B. Together the two pages' grids list every one of the letter's sixty-three topics exactly once, and every entry now opens a full guide.

If Page 1 was sport and the first half of the big and tall wardrobe, Page 2 is range: the dressed end of the letter (black tie, blazers, bow ties), its heaviest footwear (boots), its loudest safety color (blaze orange), its most borrowed silhouette (the bomber jacket), and its smallest garments (the underwear trio) all live here.

The Big and Tall Collection, Second Half

The collection concludes with its feet and its formalwear: big and tall shoes and socks sized beyond the regular ceilings, suits with graded shoulders and stances, sweaters that drape instead of cling, shorts and slacks, sleepwear as a system, swimwear whose waistbands hold when wet, the t-shirts, tank tops and tees of the casual core, trousers at the tailored end, underwear, vests, and big size hats for the heads the regular range forgets.

Two near-namesakes deserve their disambiguation here as everywhere in this letter: black tie is a dress code, not a garment, and gets a guide to the whole evening system; blank t-shirts are the undecorated substrate of every printed tee, specified by weight and construction like the industrial product they are.

Dressed, Booted and Bowling

The letter's tailored corner: blazers, the odd jacket that covers more dress codes than any other garment, and bow ties, tied by hand and sized like collars. Its leather flagship is the black leather motorcycle jacket, graded here by slide-worthy thickness rather than silhouette alone. On the feet, boots span work, trail and dress in one system guide, while boat shoes keep to the water with their siped soles. Bomber jackets carry the flight line from the A-2 to the MA-1, blaze orange hunting clothes carry the safety law of the woods, and board shorts carry the surf formula inland.

The letter closes sociably and practically: bowling shirts and bowling shoes divide the league night between them - the camp-collared shirt above, the sliding sole below - and the underwear drawer ends the alphabet: boxer briefs for supported coverage, boxer shorts for woven freedom, boxing trunks for the ring (a different boxer entirely), and briefs, the longtime support specialist, with the last word.

How to Use This Letter

Page 1 and Page 2 are one directory in two volumes: start at either, and the grids and the banner below will walk you around the whole letter. Every topic guide follows the same promise - what it is, how to choose and size it, how to wear and care for it - and links onward to its family.

Beyond B, the alphabet bar above opens the rest of the Men's Clothes Guide, from A (accessories, anoraks, the athletic family) onward through the letters still to come. The B letter's own families reach across it constantly: belts began here and continue wherever a waist needs holding, and the big and tall doctrine stated in this letter's collection applies in every letter that follows.
