Can we have a clothing sub-section please?

[g3org3y]

I notice the Lounge has plenty of threads regarding clothing advice. With this in mind, is it possible to suggest that we have a clothing sub-section where members can post for advice and show off their newly acquired garments etc?

Given that we've got specialised sections for tent, pets and watches, it seems a reasonable request (especially considering the frequency of threads encountered).

What do the PH mods think?

It's been suggested before, answer was no.

I don't see many threads about clothes at all!

[grumbledoak]

I think it's a great idea.

Mind, I also think that anyone asking us lot for sartorial advice will be, and deserves to be, "looking like a dhead"(*).

Any particular reason behind this decision? Do a certain number of members need to sign up to a petition or show interest before it is considered?

I think we have a fair few, usually related to shoes, shirts and suits.

Ask Andy About Clothes is a good place to start if you're interested in this kind of chat.

What about a Matt forum?

And http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums for any chat about dieting.

And http://forum.tz-uk.com/ for any chat about watches.

Etc.

Thanks.

I'm simply seeing clothing related threads on a reasonably regular basis and it seemed to make sense to have a forum sub-section. We also appear to have quite a few members knowledgeable in this topic.

After all, we have a section for caravans and motorhomes and let's be honest, only s (and old people) have those (and the occasional PH who uses it for LeMans).

Who makes the decision on which sub-sections we should (and shouldn't) have?

A bump for further consideration mods.

It could be called "Threads"

I don't think PH Towers is a democracy.

We must be grateful for the scraps what we is thrown.
No disrespect meant, m'lud.

I doubt there's enough interest TBH.
We have a couple of busy topics; shoes, pocket squares, pants(!), and I'm sure a few others in the lounge. It's not like there are style/fashion/clothing topics starting every day in the lounge.
Some of the forums added more recently like Science! and Books & Literature haven't been very busy either.
For those of us with more than a passing interest there're several specialist forums, though mostly US based.
I guess we'll just have to post up and accept the ridicule and comparison to mums.net when someone puts their head above the parapet.
