    I don't wear a tie too often, but I regularly wear custom made suits
    that are all based on suits from the 30's and 40's, a couple of which
    look a little bit like zoot suits (although they aren't--the jackets
    aren't long enough). And you wouldn't believe how many people have to
    ask me why I'm wearing a suit (like you, James, most of them are in
    my-and yours-own age group). Actually when I do wear ties, they
    routinely have scantily clad women on them (I would wear ones with
    scantily clad men on them too but have been unable to find any---I
    just don't want anyone to think I'm being sexist here). Again, it
    makes an impression. People don't forget and it gives you something
    to talk about besides how they are going to be spending their money
    with you. In this day of casual everything sometimes not being so
    casual makes you leave more of an impression than anything else.
    James, I confess to not having any tattoos, but I do have four holes
    in one ear. Does that count?
