30s England style haircut - how to describe to and receive from modern barber
I e-mailed this to my barber - long story but I can't make it in to visit him yet. He looked at the wonderful diagram (Thank you! Mysterious Mose) and said, "Isn't that how I've cut your hair since you first came in?" The truth is, he has, but my hair is very fine and parted on the left side...- vonwotan

30s England style haircut - how to describe to and receive from modern barber
I have always liked the look of a certain popular haircut seen in England during the Interbellum and for some time after. Some men had their hair cut a bit long on the top and shorter on the sides; combed back but parted at the sides. If it drooped a bit it was at the sides more than at the...- vonwotan

Dark Summer by Iris Johansen. I had never read anything by her before nor had I really noticed this one on the NYTimes bestseller list. It was one of the free one's from our book cart. So far I am enjoying the book.- vonwotan

Hats for sale and Q for Boston Area Members
I am trying to get myself organized and put up photos. The collection is not that impressive, or large, and I'm not parting with my favourites - the vintage Borsalinos, Art Fawcett creations and few Optimos. I've just been buying hats for a long time and finally decided to focus on the ones...- vonwotan

Fair Isle sweaters
I did look at several other vendors but only Thistle & Broom were willing to make things in my size. Unfortunately, I am very difficult to fit. Do you know for certain that Anderson pays more? My understanding is that Thistle & Broom paid the weavers more than others. One friend suggested...- vonwotan

Fair Isle sweaters
I am on my third sweater from Thistle & Broom. Most of the money for these sweaters go directly to the weavers who make them to order in their homes. They have been very accomodating and the sweaters are both beautiful and execellent quality. I am very difficult to fit so the ladies have made...- vonwotan

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
daizawaguy, Wow! Does that last photo reflect the actual colors of the hat and ribbon? If so, may I steal your idea and ask Art for a knock-off? I love the color combination! -

how to spice up "Business Casual"
Fortunately, I have been with our firm for long enough that very few people even take note that I ignore "business casual" and, at the very least, wear proper trousers, odd jacket, tie (bows), and pocket square - when I am not wearing a suit. The arguments about "comfort" don't at all work for...- vonwotan

MEN'S PAJAMAS and DRESSING GOWNS
I do wish Derek Rose, or anyone for that matter, made traditional pyjamas and dressing gowns in my size. I'm trying to get my wardrobe sorted out/updated so I can start saving for my tailor to make me pyjamas and a nice wool dressing gown with frog and olive closures...- vonwotan

H.L. Mencken
I would love to see the article. It's not one we came across while studying Mencken at University. Typically, everything we read was in his wonderful prose. I'll certainly try to track down a copy.- vonwotan
