Anyone wear jewelry?

In my family tradition, after the Matriarchy passed, her jewelry was supposed to be inherited by the next oldest female. When the time came to be my turn to inherit the jewelry, the entire family knew I was born a Butch, that Never wore feminine jewelry. I knew the next in line after me loved to wear feminine jewelry, so I broke the tradition and told my aunt to leave the jewelry to her, except for my grandfather's 32nd degree mason ring, which I still wear today.

Hi Glenn,

A Mason ring is so cool. Thank you for sharing.

I have one ring that I purchased twice at the state fair... after. I lost the first one. 15 dollar cheap thing, but I love it because it is still so fitting to me after all these years.

I used to wear leather cuffs, but that was back in my younger years. I've been wanting a simple lather bracelet though.

Have you tried searching online for bracelets?

Hey hope this is ok place to post. Anyone here have a good recommendation for henleys? I think this (https://huckberry.com/store/flint-an...rled-ls-henley) is absolutely perfect but the length g on these is obvious for tall people. This thing would come down to my thighs.

Thanks

I got a couple at JC Penny for cheap I really like, I guess I'm not super fashionable though, I tend to grab whatever is good enough

Unless you really like that brand, you can find much cheaper henleys. They are all over. Check to see if Old Navy has some.

Yeah thanks for the recommendations. I guess I just wish there were more sites like the one I linked to specifically for butch women or even just short men really. I've gotten into men's fashion in the past few years and there is a lot of real nice stuff out there but most of it doesn't fit me usually shirt length and sleeve length is too long. (Sad face)

Right now because it gets way to warm for jeans, I wear cargo shorts and t-shirts along with my black combat boots. I also tie a flannel shirt around my waist and wear a snapback because I like the look.

In winter it is lots of flannel and jeans the combat boots are a staple regardless of weather.

I have the same issue with length on clothes, I am hella short so almost everything is either too wide or too long, except when they shrink!!!!

I find that when I buy polos for work, I get a 2xlt, so it doesn't shrink as much and it fits good. That is work attire, which is what I wear now about 85 percent of the time during the week. LE Sigh.

I wear a survival knife replica on a neck chain.

What the heck do people do about dress shirts. By the time I get men's to fit my chest, they look rediculous.

I actually bought a woman's on today. Ya know, it isn't the tag that pisses me off about women's clothing. It's that every damned inch of how they are made is to sexualize and accentuate shit that not every one likes shown off. I don't think it's even just about being MOC, there have to be femmenine women who also don't want their bodies accentuated that way, at lest not all the time. That isn't to say it's wrong if you like looking that way, but where is the variety?

Anyway, my struggle is that I have to dress for a conservative cousins wedding. I'm told the attire is "cocktail." A shirt and tie seems obvious but I cannot get dress shirts to fit right. And well, from my griping above you can tell that finding a simple white button up in the women's department can't be done without darts (thank god this one at least buttons all the way up)

I wear mens button down shirts, I don't have any issues with how they look on me, just the arms are too long LOL.. I am very short so about everything is too long on me.

A suggestion maybe to go to a tailor or order one online from a butch outfitters company, they make them actually fit a butches body and they are pretty nice shirts too.

I agree with JD.. mens dress shirts do not work for all body types... for me the vintage fitted shirts seem to work great.... but a great resource for shirts is the Dapper Q site... which i follow.. its very helpful..

As far as bracelets i am a huge fan of buddhist prayer beads...(Mala Beads)

I don't wear much green, but this shade with a black t-shirt underneath looks good on me
