    What Are You Reading

    Hi PERSONALLY, I'd read O-Brian until you get sick of the British Navy, and THEN move to C. S. Forester's series. The Horatio Hornblower series is much shorter than the Richard Bolitho series. Try to read them in Chronological order, it's easier that way. My guess would be that at some...

    How to choose the right hat for you

    Hi Alex, what's up? I need to post a pic with no hat and let someone else decide which sized face I have. I've looked over the chart etc and still can't work it out. Later

    The Yoga Pants trend

    Actually it bothers me that ONE person looked in the mirror etc. That wasn't meant to be a generalization even though I'd bet that a third don't look, a third did look and don't care, and a third looked and liked it. It's the last group I'm worried about... Later

    What Are You Reading

    How to you like the series? I've read all of C. S. Forester's Hornblower series beginning in about 1970. I've also read a lot of the Bolitho series by Douglas Reeman. I'm about 5-6 novels from reading all of the Bolitho series, but I'm just not that into it anymore. Both authors have become...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Hi I have no clue if Olive Garden is authentic Italian or now, I've never been to Italy, AND I'm mostly German. I Love Olive Garden's soup and salad lunch special. They usually have 5-6 types of soup, including a potato soup with spinach greens and a little sausage in it (Love it). I can eat...

    The Yoga Pants trend

    What bugs me is that people HAVE looked in the mirror, asked themselves: "Does this flatter me?", and answered "YES". Later

    The Yoga Pants trend

    So, when she runs off in the woods, how will he find her???? In the interests of getting this out, but not being too rude, I wonder what she's wearing for perfume? I really like the Mossy oak (right?) camouflage / blaze orange contrasting suits though, that just says class.

    Librarians?

    Hi Marian Dressed, is the new dressed up. I regularly go by the Wichita Public Library and several of the branches. I've already read MY Library. The librarians there all dress like you'd expect a cliche city worker to dress, like they really don't care one way or the other. A friend's wife...

    Does this fedora look right on me?

    Hi I agree with Ray's comments on the hat. Don't get rid of it, it doesn't look BAD, but a little less hat would balance things out more and look even better. later

    Questions and Answers -- General Attire

    Years ago I worked with a guy from Northup in Thousand Oaks who wore ONE blue blazer every day, but he had hordes of argyle socks to wear with the various shirt and pants combinations. Conservatively wild I guess. Later

    Questions and Answers -- General Attire

    Hi I buy a lot of socks of the same color / lot so that I can wear them for a while. For years I wore Tan socks with khaki pants, and black socks with everything else. I did buy some brown socks to wear with olive colored pants. Quoting the old dress for success book, never wear brown shoes...

    9mm or 45cal

    HI My hands are too big to handle a .45 ACP in a compact or officer's sized 1911. I do like the Rock Island's though. I carry a full sized one though. Later

    The Yoga Pants trend

    That would indicate that the marriage is already over. Parent's want, he's not willing to play ball. Not trying to be a spoil sport or anything, but if it's obvious to ME, an engineer with an engineer's people skills...

    The Yoga Pants trend

    Oh well, it WAS a theory and I only had one data point. The other weddings that I attended lasted at least an hour. Glad it's lasted. Later

    Questions and Answers -- General Attire

    Hi Not knowing what's already in your closet, but a camel hair sport coat is good, in either camel or navy. Some form of tweed is old fashioned, but good even with jeans. Navy and camel hair blazers come in two and three button as well as double breasted, so you have variety there too. Just...

    The Yoga Pants trend

    Well Tom, there are more than 1 side to things. Formal weddings cost piles of money for a one or two day event resulting in memories that (in theory) the bride will treasure for all time. (time out, I nearly yacked). In actuality, the parents will be remembering paying the piles of money...

    Questions and Answers -- General Attire

    Well, I'm glad you liked it, but the new version of "cocktail attire" and that of the 1960's and earlier is vastly different. Wear khaki's, jeez. "It's a formal party, don't wear your jeans with the cut outs." Later

    Does this fedora look right on me?

    Hi A side view and quarter view would help in deciding what the hat does for (or to) you. Later
