Monogram ion Breast Wallet

[Rowly]

The monogram was born when the first caveman demonstrated his alpha powers by having hunted so well that he had leisure time sufficient to carve a few embellishments on his spears. The caveman with the most BMW logos on his spears soon noticed that he attracted the most caveladies...other hunters soon followed his example. Some were also good hunter gatherers, others could not hunt but embellished a few spears as if they could...and although their cave was empty, the cave women found it difficult to discern, and reacted accordingly.
The desire to have a few embellishments here and there is part of who we are. The trick is to express it with tastefulness and not go over the top. Style is not an exact science and constantly trying to find a balance is part of the fun. Getting it a bit wrong can be a useful learning experience. Either way, it is not a hanging offence to have a monogram. Kilroy may have taken it a bit too far, though !

That wallet looks like it will fit the bill quite nicely.

Or the bill(a) will fit the wallet, rather But the monogram does little more than fill the bill...

Putting a monogram on your shirt or wallet is a bit like using perfume. Pure adornment and affectation. Grooming shouldn't be much more than a bath, a good shave and fresh fine linen

hmmm... when did you become so spartan, Gruto? I am not very rococo either (except in writing, perhaps), but only strict necessity appeals to you now?
What do we do with ties, pocket squares...? All to the garbage bin? May I at least keep the white linen ones, please?
I propose that a well-chosen cologne can be just the thing that imparts a certain meaning or personality to one's dress, much like a tie can make all the difference in the world and define the sense / feeling of an outfit. The perfume need not be a signature, it can be part of the story; if there IS one...
