See Jack Shop rounds up the latest style notes from around the web:

~ Witness the progression of men’s formal wear in Esquire’s illustrated slideshow of the last 75 years in fashion. See why old things become new again and why certain trends have yet to resurface.

~ You’ll think twice about how you care for your suit after reading manshion’s 22 points that may trigger a “is this guy talking about me?” The list ranges from not altering your suit to its purchase to the pilling quality.

~ Before you purchase another suit, learn how to care and store this closet staple from About.com. Daniel Billett goes over how to not strain seams, stretch fabric and when to clean them.

~ And while you ponder a suit style, read about who can pull off pinstripes as well as when and how to wear it from AskMen.com. Check out their examples and see why Brandon Dyce says the pinstripe suit is “becoming a savvy, sartorial look guys can employ to differentiate themselves from their one-dimensional counterparts.”

~ AskMen.com also lays out guidelines of knowing very well how blazers and suit jackets should fit. The site goes over measuring, where the cuff should rest, how much shirt-sleeve to show, along with dos and don’ts.
