    Mystery solved! Bogart's weird suit in "The Big Sleep"

    I always suspected this. I think I will add buttons to some of my suit-jackets for this purpose. OK, well, I was thinking about starting a new thread for this months ago, but this is the most opportune moment to get a feel from y'all. My wife's aunt finished a 1.5 year tailoring course...

    Of Sheep-Dip, Rot-Gut, and Furniture Polish. The worst of the worst.

    OK, hold on. Here are my cynar questions: 1.) Where did you hear of it? 2.) When and where was it in vogue 3.) What drinks are made with it 4.) Does anyone alive like it? Who? 5.) Where does one buy it? 6.) Who buys it? Demographically. Because now I'm curious to try it.

    Take two: Men's vintage suit jackets, ties, etc.

    HI DN, Your box is full, as Fletch notes. I'm possibly interested in the pink socks, depending on price and size ....

    The Bud Chelada should be renamed the Vomitosa. That's so sick I put it on my facebook page. I still don't know what cynar is. Artichoke liqueur?

    What are you wearing today??

    This never fails to astonish me. So you looking nice makes him look bad comparatively. I've seen this problem before. My least favorite generation ever. Oh boy. Obviously not the good kind. Great. Nothing more SUUUUPER than an ex-radical leftist turned far Rightist. One sees this...

    I'm OK with Campari, actually, but I hate .. I'm OK with Campari, actually. I cannot remember how I have drunk it: perhaps over ice with oranges squeezed into it and some sparkling water added. And I had Chartreuse in something good once. As for Fernet, I had a shot with FedoraGent once at a...

    Beloved Comic Books--The Uncanny X-Men

    I still have some "Groo the Wanderer." My older brother liked Cerebus. I remember it fairly well. What is that artist/writer doing these days?

    Beloved Comic Books--The Uncanny X-Men

    Wow, carebear, I didn't know you were still on the Lounge. Nice to see you here again. I found my old "Jon Sable, Freelance" and "Warlord" by Mike Grell in the boxes of comics my parents had in their basement. Those were decent. But, after all these years (and all these literature classes)...

    Film Noir?

    Good call. You are right of course: I dashed that off too quickly. I prefer the eye to the mouth. It's more unusual.

    Film Noir?

    Paddy, all we need is a narrator's voice-over furthering the plot a bit .... may I suggest something like, "Night in the City. I took the auto out after my phone call with Jon. Things were happening. Big things. The parking garage yawned blankly like the unmonocled eye of the Monopoly Man. The...

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    Shelley, the comic is amazing. I'll ask my friend who has a degree in historic preservation of documents and works at the Smithsonian what the best technique is.

    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    I think it looks bad-a$$ and that's not just because I'm a Polophile (my wife is Polish, our daughter is bilingual, I speak some Polish and I've been to Poland 4 times). It's a nice coat.

    Wallets

    Just scored this 1921 leather wallet with silver corners. I'm rather delighted. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200410285035&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:GB:1123

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Sharp brown corduroy (?) DB front and center. Charcoal pinstripe on right is looking good too. On left, the SB notched vest under the gray suit-jacket is looking good but you know what I want to ask -- HOW HIGH ARE THE ARM-HOLES?

    Au contraire, I am entirely unkind. I only speak the truth.

    The Lost Art of Manliness

    The use of the term "gender essentialist" is not advisable as it is not a neutral term to define a position. As far as I can see, the only persons that use that term are persons who believe that "gender essentialists" are bad, wrong people. (In some quarters, such as in many departments of...

    Ribbon/felt color combinations - same or contrast - your preferences

    I am finding this thread very useful. It is helpful to SEE (rather than to imagine) different colors up against each other like this. Because then I imagine how it would look with which one of my suits, which color shirts, which pocket squares, etc. If the very light fedora on the left with...
