Of course that's your contention. You're a first-year menswear forum poster. You just got finished reading a classic menswear book—Alan Flusser probably—and you're convinced that the flattering effects of tailoring rendered in moderate proportions create the most enduring style.

The pub meetups organised by @AnnaRCusack are great - it was lovely to meet new people, meet people irl for the first time, and see people I had met at a previous one. Also I had my first mince pie of the year!

The Bob Dylan autopen kerfuffle reminds me of Henry VIII's use of a pre-cut signature stamp because he found writing ‘somewhat tedius and paynefull’. See this excellent thread:

In my search of the whole Henrician REQ archive I've only ever found two 'real' signatures from Henry VIII. From at least October 1510, a stamped version was used instead. In fact, there were at least 3 stamps in the decade that followed, matching changes in the king's signature:
