When the Castle is Chilly
One sometimes overlooked use for a scarf in cool weather is to wear it like an ascot with a piece of heavier knitwear like an Aran sweater. Edward Fox did it to keep his neck warm in a chilly castle in the 1978 television series "Edward and Mrs. Simpson." A silk scarf is best, particularly if the combination will spend any time heated spaces.
Fold the scarf in half lengthwise and place around the neck, leaving the left side about a foot longer than the right. Wrap the left around the right one and a half times and then bring the end up and over the knot from behind. Tuck into the sweater and spread the scarf to fill the neckline.

I really like this. Interesting collar mechanism. It's garments like this that almost make me wish I lived in a chillier clime. Almost...
Will,
You would have content for months if you expound upon Shirt styles - how to select great shirts, how to pair ties with shirts (with extensive examples). With the pictures of pairings, you'd be the reference point for many a man trying to determine what tie goes with what shirt before his next outing. Same for shoes. I saw your article on "Which shoes to own" but there were few pictures and going to the Sky Valet website did little to show pictures (I'm ignorant on the types of shoes). Make it easy on us, put more pictures, more examples....
You have so much, why not continue to flesh out each type of clothing until you have the definitive reference on the net. You are doing daily entires anyway, why not slowly build that guide out?
Your users would even help you with questions, clarifications, additions, etc.
Great stuff.
