    Natty Custom Made Shirts For Only $29.99

    Still waiting for the shirts i ordered. About a year ago, I asked Natty about getting some shirts with no cuff buttons. I wanted plain cuffs, not French cuffs. I planned to use silk knots instead. I find that commercial shirt laundries routinely break cuff buttons. Natty offered mother-of-pearl...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I live in the mid-Atlantic. I am frequently amazed at seeing young people wearing t-shirts and basketball shorts, and even men older than me (see photo) wearing shorts and golf shirts when the temperature is in the 40's or 50's. Of course I don't know, but I imagine that it's some kind of...

    Politics and outwear

    I am now in my seventh decade. I clearly remember that when I was a boy, if you wanted to dis another kid's toy, you would say, "Yeah, it's probably made in Japan!" A lot has changed since then, or has it?

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    "Christmas" is certainly a proper noun, while "New Year", is probably so, but I could be persuaded otherwise. Now "Merry Christmas!" is a sentence in the hortative mood, so the "Merry" get's the initial cap because it's the first word in the sentence. Likewise the sentence "Happy New Year!".

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I can see where "Rhinelanders" might fit a headline better than "Cincinnati Red Stockings", but not by much. I imagine the fanciful nicknames are at least as much the product of sports writers wishing to be seen a clever with words (they are writers, after all). As for the "Bucs" my family goes...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    A Tumwater, by TonyB. A few years back I asked him to make me a "Nighthawks" hat. That's the Edward Hopper painting by that name. I asked Tony to make one just like the silver-with-a-black-band and a second with the colors reversed. Today I wore the black one.

    Curious kinds of clothes?

    Long-sleeved "polo" shirt made with densely-woven cotton sounds like the description of a "rugby jersey".

    Ask a question, get an answer

    A key genetic marker for male pattern baldness is carried on the X chromosome. So if your mother's father wore hats, you're toast.

    How many suits do you own?

    Yesterday I was leaving work. I got on the elevator and the other occupant remarked that this was the second time that day we had shared an elevator. I smiled at him and replied, "This must be your lucky day!" He said something to the effect that he was glad to share the elevator with a...

    What happened to Shoe Shines ?

    I've got one of those cast-iron brackets mounted to a stud in the un-finished utility room in my basement. It does exactly what's needed to get a high shine. If you've got a Nordstrom's department store in your city, you will likely find a shoe shine stand in the shoe department. I've used...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I was recently watching a BBC crime drama on the local PBS station. It ended at about 15 minutes before the hour. The time was filled with a segment from the Antiques Roadshow. One of the visitors brought just such an item to be evaluated. That's how I recognized it. Think of it as a Victorian...
