Freshly graduated and shipped off to London; Stephen Kasica is on assignment in London for the Olympics. He sent us this missive:
Dear Colorado,
Got my hands on a style field-manual provided to every USA athlete from Nike, which designed this year鈥檚 Team USA uniform, sweats, and such. In these 80 pages is bandana-folding instruction, American- flag silk neck scarf etiquette, and rules against uniform faux pas on the medal stand.

- Tuck and Cover: If the T-shirt falls lower than the jacket, 鈥渁 simple tuck-in restores the clean flow鈥︹�� especially on the medal stand.
- Roll Call: Rolling a jacket鈥檚 sleeves is permitted in the Olympic Village, but must be down on the medal stand for crispness and formality.
- Zip Code: Zipping a windbreaker or jacket to the chin looks more intimidating than a zipper at half-mast with a spread collar. 鈥淶ip all the way up to protect against the elements, warm up or show you mean business.鈥�
- Collar ID: Popping the polo shirt collar 鈥渁dds a dash of post-prep floss.鈥�
Fashionably Late,
Stephen Kasica
