Where Do You Think Men Should Shave?
I shave my neck just below the jaw line and my cheeks, to keep a trimmed beard. My moustache is a waxed handlebar. I have been informed by my wife that if I ever loose the facial hair, I'm sleeping on the couch until it grows back. It doesn't have to stay the same style, there just has to be... -
The nicest comment I ever heard
My wife and I went to one of the big vintage clothing fairs this weekend. We always dress to the nines when we go, and one of the vendors told my wife that she always looks forward to seeing us because we always look so sharp. :) -

Walking Sticks & Canes.
Here's a gent's cane I recently got. The hallmarks put it at 1907 (I think). It's feather light and in very good condition.- Nick D

Gloves
Got these at a vintage fair for £5, in excellent shape. I accidentally wore a hole through the thumb of my last pair of gray leather gloves, and have been looking for a new pair ever since.- Nick D

Not as nice as a lot of the things posted here, but I'm pleased to have found a new wool tie now that it's getting colder out.- Nick D

Original Suspender Width?
And Albert Thurston braces are W-I-D-E. I'd guess anywhere between 1" and 2" would be normal.- Nick D

The nicest comment I ever heard
Went in to the department today, in a three piece with a new green bowtie, and one of the new postgrad students, a girl from France, says "Wow, you are so elegant!" -
Show us your suits
The old hard and fast rule is no brown shoes in town, and pinstripe is a town suit. Of course, looking at old Esquire illustrations shows they broke the "rules" all the time, but even today a dark suit would call for a darker brown shoe. -

Neck wear?
Avoid skinny batwings and lab coats ;) I'm torn on the question. I go between wearing neckties more and wearing bowties more. I'm on the verge of having more bows, but it's only because they're really easy to make from salvaged neckties, whereas vintage-style ties are more difficult. I...- Nick D

Pinstripe coat w/solid color trousers
Personally, I never wear any odd pieces if one is a pinstripe. -
Pleat depth question
About a half inch, I'd say. On trousers with two pleats on either side, sometimes the outer pleat is a bit shallower than the main, inner pleats.- Nick D

Thanks for the info. I think I'll make a rounded one like the pink to see how it looks. Need to find a modern tie in a charity shop.- Nick D

The nicest comment I ever heard
The campus has been flooded with a sea of new and returning undergrads. While waiting for the bus yesterday I got a lot of strange looks, then as a group of three girls walked by one said "Excuse me, sir, my friend really likes your style but is too shy to say so." :o -

I wasn't sure if it was rounded or a blunt point that had become deformed over time. Any idea when the rounded one may come from?- Nick D

I just noticed the third from the right has rounded ends. I've never seen that before.- Nick D

Fountain pens - ostentatious?
I used to use a modern Cross Townsend, which is fairly big (it doesn't fit in most of my waistcoat pockets) and stainless steel. Now I use a small refurbished lever-fill pen, it's better balanced and writes easier.- Nick D

Fountain pens - ostentatious?
I'm afraid this makes little sense to me. I've been using a fountain pen since high school, and I write with one a lot. On my current pen, I empty the ink sac every two or three days. I wrote my MA dissertation with it before typing it up. I also had a professor who did all his marking...- Nick D
