    Find yourself buying one brand consistently in clothes?

    I just put three ties up on Ebay (one Brioni, two Talbott and PM me if you want a link), and went shopping tonight for ties. I used to shop at Jos. A Bank a lot but since I found Robert Talbott ties, I find that going back to Bank, or even Macy's, the ties just do not seem to move me. I dont...

    Pomade

    The Cool Grease was used by me because my hair is thin and thinning on top. Baby fine almost. I cut it short on top with scissors and had a little spike thing going. Too much pomade made it greasy and too little gave no shine. I am now using a fibre gum and may try the Sally's version of...

    Pomade

    I have some pomade up for sale on a shave forum I frequent : http://www.shavemyface.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=40176 I found American Crew to have great shine but more of a cement hold. Did not need that. I used KMS Pomade for something locally available, probably the best of the lot until...

    Pulling Off the Casual Look

    Today I wore a camel color wool polo sweater and some dress pants to work and wore my acorn-colored Akubra Stylemaster. A couple of nice hat comments and a couple of Indiana Jones comments. All positive. Because so few nice fedoras are worn, people notice them and they notice that they are...

    Ballpoint Pen refills: Gel vs. Ink vs. ?

    Yes, those are the refills and are cheaper for those 5 than some places locally for a two pack. I ordered them as the seller told me they come with small silicone caps to keep from drying out.

    Ballpoint Pen refills: Gel vs. Ink vs. ?

    I looked at the one Parker my wife has in her Retro 51 and it is not a gell, but says ballpoint refill. I don't know that I know the difference. How long does one last, a gel, vs. a ballpoint. That auction does not have them capped, so will they dry out? I think we might have had a Shmidtt...

    Scenting the house, questions

    Visconti Black Divina Roller ball (maxi)

    This pen is a bit too big for me. The outer box and the presentation (inner box with the cushioning) are intact and the pen has a refill in it and I have like 4 more refills that were given to me when I bought it. Retail usually is over $375.00. I will sell it for $25.00 less than what I...

    Hair cuts

    Old school barbershops in Memphis are hard to find. Maybe a half dozen, really. Most are like chain stores, women for the most part, 35 and under. The ones that exist tend to be in the older parts of town, where they have been since the 60's and 70's and the men there are holding on and...

    I know it is obvious, but my hat was good and warm today

    55 outside, first cool weather in Memphis. Windy so it seems colder. I was without a jacket. Wore my Akubra Stylemaster and thank goodness i did. I took the hat off for 2 seconds and wow, my topmost part of my head was cold. Put the hat back on and wow, nice. Ears nippy a bit, but my...

    pics of Stylemasters on noggins?

    Blackthorn, I have that same hat, wearing it today. I like it more than my Stetson, but the Stetson is dressier.

    Funny comment from the wife

    Funny comment from the wife

    Jimmy, yeah, I am kinda used to the bigger brim on the Akubra but it has a more casual look. The grey Stetson seems "sharper" to the eye with a tie or suit on, and yeah, the hat looks smaller but to my eye,makes for a tighter package visually.

    Funny comment from the wife

    Today, I wore a shirt and tie to the office as I have no court, just a couple of clients of long standing and then paperwork ahead of me. Navy pants, black shoes, blue striped shirt (mainly on a white background) and darker blue paisley tie. Wore my Stetson Saxon, Caribou, or medium grey, hat...

    Marcus, you and the lady look great, just great. Stylish, attractive, wow, just out of the movies. And the car just complements it. I bet a nice Sunday afternoon drive, stopped at a light, you get asked a ton of questions. Wow, looks like fun.
