What I use instead of a PDA...
Greetings all! I thought that some of you who yearn to take a "lo-fi" approach jotting down tasks might find this interesting. It only dawned on me to share this with you all because someone made a comment earlier on in the lift when I took it out to check something... They said that I...- matei

"Stitched-up" pockets?
Thanks for the response. I had actually tried that on some... and to my dismay I had a pocket that consisted of the entire lining of the jacket!- matei

How important is your "gig line"?
I for one consider it very important. It irks me when it is mis-aligned. When I was in the army it was something that was drummed into me. One of the things I can stand is someone that goes halfway - they wear a dress shirt and trousers and that is it. The trousers are practically falling...- matei

"Stitched-up" pockets?
Greeting all! Can anyone tell me when the practice of selling sportscoats/jackets/blazers with "stitched-up" pockets became prevalent? It is really annoying to try and place something - like your keys, a phone etc., and not be able to because the *!$^% thing is all sewn up!- matei

Suit story (sort of long)
Vai de mine, ce supriza! ... ma bucur ca v-au placut povestea mea! ;) I'm glad you liked me story. We truly are an "international" couple! I'm only half Irish - hence the Romanian (actually Moldovan) connection. My wife is 100% though, Bucharest born-and-raised. I'll try to... -

Suit story (sort of long)
I don't know if this is the right thread but... I have a story pertaining to suits that I thought some of you might find interesting... My father-in-law was a star athlete for communist Romania (a competition skydiver), who later went on to coach the national team and attain an important... -

While I'm not a fan of his music, good on him for bringing elegant dress to the forefront. -
Wore hat to job interview...
Thanks guys / gals... I wore my only fedora at the moment - a grey Herbert Johnson - with a suit that I had made from some old wool material that my father-in-law gave me (I'll post the story in the suits section). The only other hats I have are a couple of berets. I'm in IT, so we're a... -
Just had my first Professional Shave...
Kinda - we lived in city centre for about 2 years and then moved out to the "suburbs", to the extreme north of Co. Dublin... :cry: It is a fun town. I'm glad you liked it. I think I know which barber you mean.- matei

Wrinkled ribbon?
Does anyone have any tips for getting the wrinkles out of a ribbon/band (whatever the proper term is)? I tried steaming them out, but I am worried that if I apply too much steam I'll lose the form on the crown. -

Wore hat to job interview...
Thanks! :) I'm waiting for the contract though - no celebrating until I see it in writing! -
Wore hat to job interview...
Greetings all! Enamoured as I am with my new hat, I decided to wear it to a job interview yesterday in London. As I expected, there were several other people with similar headgear (I counted 5). No funny looks or silly comments. As a matter of fact, people were extremely polite and... -
Finally got me first fedora
I hear what you are saying - no problems! :) Oh - one last bit... The band itself is leather - it doesn't appear to be that laminated cardboard faux leather. Have fun in Belfast! We're there quite often ourselves... Great town, friendly people. Oddly enough, we're most often in... -
Finally got me first fedora
I have a big head... ;) However, not that big. Revise those measurements minus an inch or so... Apparently not only can I not estimate EUR to USD conversion, I can't meaure correctly either! -
Shirt colour?
Emmm... Nevermind. A quick look at some of the old catalogue scans that the other members graciously provided answered my question!- matei

Shirt colour?
Hello all! Another trivial question... Was there a choice of colour other than white back in the 1930's/40's regarding men's shirts? Was blue, quite common nowadays, an option?- matei

Finally got me first fedora
I paid 75 EUR - approx. 100 USD. Emmm... okay, it was more than I thought! [huh] I don't usually pay much attention to the exchange rate except for when we are in the US! Don't be scared away by that price though - because here in Ireland, everything is expensive. We are vying with... -
Finally got me first fedora
That is it indeed. I am having fun trying to modify the shape. It came with this really naff block, almost like you'd find on a cowboy hat. I've been using a little penguin-shaped steamer that my wife bought about a year ago. She uses it to clean the range, curtains etc. It works really... -
Finally got me first fedora
Hello all! I've got my sights set on an Akubra Federation, but that is a month or two away. After I whinged about not having any decent hat shops in Dublin, I stumbled upon a shop in the "touristy" part of town that had a tiny selection of hats. They appeard to be of decent quality and... -
Vest question
Thanks fellas for the sound advice as always. That is what is really cool about this board... For years I have had all this little, niggling questions - but there was no one to pose them to!
