Which decade is the worst in terms of style?
I did not think of that. It is my dream to one day visit Tierra del Fuego.- Dr Doran

Which decade is the worst in terms of style?
This is one of the chief reasons why I left So Cal and moved to No Cal almost 20 years ago. I hate heat.- Dr Doran

Which decade is the worst in terms of style?
THE NAUGHTIES (2000 - 2009) I wonder how we will see the naughties in retrospect. Because they just ended a month ago. And it's hard to frame them, and to judge them. It seems that they were more casual than any previous decade. I believe it. There has been a continuous trend of casualness...- Dr Doran

What Did You Drink Last Night?
I had drunk a smallish shot of Fernet-Branca slightly over a year ago with Paddy and FedoraGent in North Beach, SF, and I had liked it fine as a "before the serious drinking stomach coater." However, last night the friends I was drinking with, poured about 6 ounces in a glass for me. Rather...- Dr Doran

Roadside Finds
To me, things found on the street kind of deserve a separate category from thrift store and yard sale finds. They are free. And public. They don't pass from owner to shop to owner, but from owner to public space (where they may get run over) to owner. I found this while driving home TODAY from...- Dr Doran

How much of the stuff in your home was bought "new?"
Target had some tallish bookcases made of dark stained wood-like stuff that fit in with the general aesthetic and were on sale for about 110 dollars each recently with free shipping, so I got 2. Otherwise almost everything is roadside or lo-price antique. Really, almost the entire apartment is...- Dr Doran

Another thrift store tip. look to match jackets in the pants section.

Which decade is the worst in terms of style?
Hmmm. Well, I find it difficult to watch 1970s films because of the horrid styles --even very good ones, such as Mean Streets. 1980s styles in film don't bother me as much. Top Gun looked OK. Lots of good suits: the suits and neat hair had made a comeback. Suspenders were back, too. Lots of...- Dr Doran

My Custom Tailor redux
Yes, you measure the "U-crutch" measurement. And they ask how long the ENTIRE trousers are to be, and how long the INSEAM is, subtracting one from the other and consulting the "U-crutch" measurement produces high waist and long rise. Just in case they didn't have long enough zippers for the... -
My Custom Tailor redux
I GAWT IT. Awright folks, I pulled the trigger on the My Custom Tailor suit. For various reasons I got a darker "olive" herringbone. It's the 300 dollar "hollywood" something or other style with one button SB peak lapel jacket, a vest which allegedly has some sort of lapel (quite unclear in the... -
Another thrift store tip. look to match jackets in the pants section.
There was a weird 3 dollar thrift store on University Ave in berkeley right by "Out of the Closet" and, about a year ago, I found a nice blue 3 button suit-jacket in the jacket section. And the trousers 20 feet away in the trouser section. The suit was a 42. I bought the jacket and trousers... -
The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard
The single demographic group from whom I get consistently appreciative and positive comments on my attire is black women. Black males are the second most appreciative group. A few negative comments from the latter, once in a great while; solely appreciative comments from the former.
