    Spectators in Other Languages

    Perhaps I'm out of date, but the word I learned was "scheibenmachinescheiber", which transliterated to English is "writing machine writer". German nouns have the reputation of being very lengthy as compared to English ones. Here is a joke told by my wife, who spent her early childhood...

    Spectators in Other Languages

    Well, not creating German names for foreign words may not be the worst thing. Why don't you tell the folks the German word for "typist"?

    Suits are out for professionals?

    Always dress for a job interview Several years ago I had a really bad job. I generally work in the IT contracting field with federal government customers. As a rule, the appearance of my co-workers isn't very sharp. I decided that I would always dress as if I were going to a job interview. That...

    Copying a Custom????

    Here's William Powell as detective Philo Vance in "The Kennel Murder Case". I was watching this movie one evening and the hats just jumped out at me. So I wrote to Art Fawcett, well known here as Vintage Silhouettes, and asked if he could re-create this one. Of course there were no credits in...

    Does leather burn?

    "Public schools" are public because the boys (when the term originated, only boys) were educated in the company of others, away from home, hence "in public" as opposed to being taught at home by tutors, in which case they were educated "privately".

    The Double Breasted Silhouette

    I've bought more than a dozen suits from them in the past three or four years. I've liked them all. While I don't claim to be an expert, I can certainly say that they are of better construction than the suits I have bought at retail and the fit is perfect. As I mentioned, I just ordered three...

    The Double Breasted Silhouette

    Good source for good suits, cheap I have been buying suits for several years from a tailor in Bangkok. They make three tours annually to the US, UK, and Australia. They measure, take note of the particular things you want in the suit (number of rear pockets, buttons, trouser closure type...

    Bow Ties

    Bow tie fraying With the basic neck tie, I only get fraying along the bottom edge after years of wear. The bow ties fray within one year. This means something along the line of 10 to 20 wearings. Tying a bow tie takes a good deal more effort than ordinary neck ties. Is the fraying a function of...

    Bow Ties

    Do your bow ties fray like mine do? My bow ties tend to fray along the edges, more expensive ones less than inexpensive ones. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just the cost of doing business?
