    Two items to "square away" in the name of accuracy:
    1. Any instance where the phrase "square inches" is used should most accurately be "inches square;" the mathematically minded know that there's a difference!
    2. We've actually shown portraits of a few different kings when mentioning Richard I--how many can the historians among you name? :)

    I have a question about the length of jacket sleeves. I can't afford a custom made suite, so whenever I purchase a jacket the sleeves are usually too long. I'm a 44S but my arms are shorter than the normal. I would be happy for a guide to the length of my sleeves so when I go to a tailor or someone else to do alterations I can let them know what length they should be.

    I went to my nieces wedding several years ago. It was in a different state from where I live and about a two hour drive. When I started to get dressed I realized I left my pocket square home.

    I love this information so much!
    But, _square inches_ is not the same as _inches, square._ The terms are not interchangeable.
    _Square inches_ is a measurement of area. An item that is 16 square inches would be 4"x4", or 2"x8" or even 1"x16". Any pair of factors that multiply to 16.
    An item that is 16 _inches, square_ would be 16" on a side, and being designated _square,_ it is a square that is 16" on each side.

    I don’t know what it is with gentlemen of a very specific demographic wearing pocket squares that look like beach towels falling out of their pockets these-days, the same people almost always wear skin tight trousers and monk straps which went out of style in mid-2010s, as well as constantly over-accessorising. You can see this with American football players

      It may seem that way. Regardless, you can wear a suit in a more casual fashion that either works or appeal to you in a less business fashion. Follow your own style though regardless of what other people is doing or not doing. Be original. When many choose to not put much effort into how they dress, you’ll certainly stand out even wearing a suit or without without a tie for less formality. Step down even more with a nice jacket, shirt and dress trousers or chinos. Rock your own style man whichever you like.
