    Looking For An Affordable Reweaver Stateside?

    Never heard of her. There are very few quality reweavers in the US. There are a lot of alterations tailors who hang a reweaving shingle and do terrible work. The three that I have used and that do excellent work are French-American and Zotto in NY and Without a Trace in Chicago. These shops do...

    Do you count 1945 through 1963 as part of the Golden Era?

    From Ms LeGon's NYT obituary: http://mobile.nytimes.com/2012/12/17/arts/dance/jeni-legon-singer-and-solo-tap-dancer-dies-at-96.html "She remained angry for decades at Fred Astaire, with whom she shared rehearsal space in 1935 but who she said refused to acknowledge her on the set of “Easter...

    Do you count 1945 through 1963 as part of the Golden Era?

    The Williams sisters were a surprise (a mild one at best) more from how they came up through the ranks than from where they came from. In US tennis history there have been a good many champions who were products of the "public courts", both black (Arthur Ashe, Athea Gibson) and white (Billie...

    Do you count 1945 through 1963 as part of the Golden Era?

    Actually, pro football was open to blacks in its early years but then purged them for around a decade before allowing them back. Paul Robeson paid for Columbia law school with his pro football earnings. Fritz Pollard (a great back from Brown) was a head coach/player at the time of the purge.

    Satya Twena

    I was going to post about this but thought better considering the outright hate for Makins around here. Something I could never really understand.

    Atticus Finch is right!

    For some reason blind squirrels came to mind. I keed, I keed.

    Italian made pocket squares - a source!

    Never heard of them. Personally, I prefer shopping for clothing in person as the colors are rarely accurate in the photos used by online retailers.

    Who makes the best Trench Coat?

    The Manchester Weathercoat Company was reviewed here a few years ago. IIRC it was unfavorable, with shoddy workmanship being the main problem.

    Super bowl prediction...

    Well I was one of the 111.50 million Americans who watched that thoroughly unentertaing game. I picked Seattle to beat Denver but hardly by a blowout. BTW, the game was the most watched event in U.S. television history...again...

    World Liquor Map

    Take the 100 greatest authors in history and most of them imbibed at least that much. I wouldn't even consider 3-4 fifths a week to be automatically problematic. Maybe not the healthiest habit but certainly not in the "Lost Weekend" neighborhood.

    Know the answer to this question?

    Then there's the counter question: Where does Jimmy Buffet hang out?

    French cuff question

    I employ that cuff configuration when I want to wear a particular FC shirt with a sweater or a casual jacket that has ribbed cuffs. I've never worn it otherwise but I don't see it as a faux pas. I've tried all sorts of links with that setup and have found double button links to be the most...
