I’m noticing that it is becoming more acceptable in the business world for men to go sans necktie. The custom of wearing a piece of cloth around one’s neck to signify formality probably has centuries-old roots, but it’s rather silly on the face of it, don’t you think? I frequently wear ties (something of a challenge when one has a tracheotomy) and I wouldn’t shed any tears if this particular fashion practice faded into oblivion. But I’m not a huge fan of jackets and blazers. They usually feel bulky and they don’t seem to fit me very well. Perhaps I need to find a gimp-friendly tailor.

  1. hey if you find a gimp friendly tailor let me know!! I have soooo much trouble finding fancier shirts and dresses that work on me…
    love,

  2. Hmmm. Sounds like a business in the making. I used to make shirts for breastfeeding moms and once made one for a female Anglican (I think that is Episcopal in the US) priest with a roman collar.
    It really wouldn’t be difficult to make clothes that reduced bulk in the back while looking businesslike in the front.
    I have scoliosis and find that many jackets bunch up wrong in the back. Also seats meant to be ergonomically correct are very uncomfortable for me.
