The Demise of the Summer Suit
If the persons above are asking about my paul fredrick linen suit when they are asking about tailoring, here is the deal: I wear a 42L. So, naturally, I bought a 42L suit. the jacket fit perfectly and I mean perfectly. The trousers for a 42L suit are normally 36W and indeed, a.) that is what I... -
The Demise of the Summer Suit
Well, ten seconds ago, I just ordered the dark one as well. Again, the compliments were so huge on the light one, and the cut and feel were so nice, that it seems more than reasonable. Including shipping and handling AND 1.5 inch cuff tailoring on the trousers, I'm out a whole $125. For a suit... -
The Demise of the Summer Suit
Ninety-nine bucks. You cannot possibly go wrong. Several people thought it was vintage. Several knowledgeable folks, including a guy who is in that book Swingtime by Vale. I may even buy the dark one as well. That's how much I like the cut and the weight. -

The Demise of the Summer Suit
Nope, I didn't remove any buttons. It has 6. And yes, the top two are pleasantly high. The rise is nicely long: not as long as my actual early 1940s suits, but longer than my 1980s suits. Honestly, folks, I'd have to recommend this at the price. No joke. $99? Geez. If I go to the Gatsby... -

The Demise of the Summer Suit
Folks -- I have to say, this is a very nice summer suit. I took it to Church of Sinatra on Sunday and three gents (all veterans of the SF vintage scene) complimented it each twice. relatively high gorge on the jacket, nicely WIDE LEGS on the trousers. It's oatmeal with dark brown wide-spaced... -

Let's Retire These Movie/TV Plots!
Achilles-tendon-cutting occurs in movies of a specific sick genre, for which you have already (on some level) made a contract with the director to appreciate it as a feature of that particular gross genre. Puking occurs in normal films when you aren't prepared and that's nasty. My problem is...- Dr Doran

Let's Retire These Movie/TV Plots!
... but as plots go, the plot of the first one was quite original. And the dénouement was completely unexpected. I mean completely (the identity of Jigsaw). The second one also had plot twists that were utterly surprising (the identity of the female drug addict); the third did as well, two in...- Dr Doran

Let's Retire These Movie/TV Plots!
1.) "Carmina burana" by Karl Orff played every time people ride horses in a battle scene, or a volcano goes off, or anything dramatic involving the fates of lots of people happens. Or instead of "Carmina burana" something very similar, a theft in fact, with choral lyrics in Latin and a...- Dr Doran

The Breakfast Martini
Alcohol in the morning gives me a bad headache and makes everything boring. Once whilst traveling in Turkey, I had a beer and Doritos for breakfast. Then I went to the Gallipoli Museum. I was actually bored, which is entirely unlike me as I love all history. I blame it on the beer. Once...- Dr Doran

Show us your suits
The brown jacket is much more interesting and -- from what I can tell, at least -- more likely to be older. The gray with pin stripes could just as well be from the 1980s, but there are still plenty of things you can wear that with and look good. The brown has a most interesting color and seems... -

Preacher Son, I like it all except the belt plus suspenders. But hey, some people did do that in the Era.
