Suit Question Related to Previous Thread
This sounds like a great idea, Tomasso. Only problem I run into, much akin to my hat problem, is size. I'm a 50L, which I tailor down to about a 48L due to my broad shoulders. Trying to find decent used suits in either size, under $100 can prove difficult, although not impossible. I was... -
Suit Question Related to Previous Thread
As am I, TonyB, which is why I'm glad I've posted the question for you all to mull over. I agree, Tomasso; could you please expand on the cheap aspects. I can always use education on these matters. :) -
More Semi Formal Trouble
Oh my, 16? Yes, the others are quite right; you'll most definitely grow out of this in no time. This sort of thing is an investment and in 5 years, your investment will no longer work for you. However, I do commend you for researching and (hopefully) adhering to the tenets of proper dress... -
Suit Question Related to Previous Thread
Previous thread can be found here: Black or Blue? Please direct your attention to the suit listed here on Amazon. I realize this is, yet again, a totally subjective question, but I truly need the Lounge's help in making a decision. Or to put this another way, I need assistance in... -
More Semi Formal Trouble
Wow, I've been reading the lounge for some time, going on three years now (I looked before I registered mind you) and I found www.blacktieguide.com to be quite informative and interesting. In fact, I've been reading it all morning. Although my volumes of literature and expert knowledge from the... -

Best Collar For Neck Height
Number two really looks great! If I had the money, and the occasion, I'd stick with that #2 and something real sharp (as I'm sure you will with a collar like that). :eusa_clap- Undertow

What Are You Reading
How about something quite vintage with hints of occidentalism: Edwardes, Allen. The Jewel in the Lotus. New York: The Julian Press, Inc. 1959 Quite interesting, if not a bit prurient. However, worth a read if you're interested in the "Orient".- Undertow

Vintage 2-Player Card Games?
As mentioned above, Cribbage and Gin Rummy are huge favorites of mine. You could always try Five-card draw, or Texas Hold 'em poker games. Or if you like something simple, there are some really fun, challenging variations on Crazy 8's I enjoy. Details of Crazy 8's variation I play (in case...- Undertow

Manners - The NY Times gets it
I tend to agree with Miss Bella Hell here. Sure, his heart was in the right place, but it's a little too smarmy for me. If he wanted to make people aware of their manners, he could simply state, "Please excuse yourself," and even that is unnecessary. Ironically, I find it a bit rude to...- Undertow

The Marrying Age
My paternal grandparents were both 16...and you can imagine why they were married. My maternal grandparents were 26(him) 22(her). My parents were both 24. I'm 26 and marriage is still not in sight, thankfully. I'm not a fan of divorce and I fear women of my generation aren't right for...- Undertow

Spats!
GOOD LORD! I've been trying to think of what these were called for the last month! I had one of those moments were it was on the tip of my tongue but then I never got it back. I knew we had a thread on here for them, but I figured I'd have to search forever, especially not knowing what they...- Undertow

Cash found in Ohio house's walls becomes nightmare
I think the key here is "He called Reece, a former high school classmate who had hired him for a remodeling project." She probably felt generous and he was greedy. That guy doesn't deserve a single penny, legality aside. I think he deserves the bad publicity.- Undertow

help please
Well, it may sound crazy, but I've always found great deals on eBay; nice clothes, often new w/tags, good prices. I build a search and then save it as one of my "favorites" so I can quickly access updated listings. You could try Amazon, they're sometimes reasonable. Or you might try... -
Black or Blue?
Thanks for all the feedback! This is going to be a tough decision! I'm not going to purchase black, and that's final. Now I'll have to decide between blue and gray - and I'm leaning towards blue. I'm waiting until I get a suit back from the tailor tonight to see how well they do on a... -
Firearm safety tutorial
First, let me apologize for my choice of words; I didn't intend to portray anyone negatively. My intention was to note that safeties are not always safe. Concerning C&L, I realize 1911's were developed with that in mind and I understand there are those who choose to carry in said state...- Undertow
