    Dobbs Panama

    btw, that's a cool hat. I would definitely be seen wearing that. I hope you plan on posting pics when you get it!

    Dobbs Panama

    You know, I was doing some thinking... and feel real bad about that sweatband needing replaced... Why don't you just send me that hat and I'll make sure it gets to a good home... :D

    Fitting matters

    I wouldn't purchase a suit from any establishment that didn't require its suit salesmen to also don a proper suit. I think in most cases, that rule fits for just about any purchase.

    New Suit trouble

    lol Could you give me a good reason? (Aside from it possibly being "tacky")

    New Suit trouble

    Okay, I have another question regarding this same issue. I realize this may sound a bit faux-pa, but I'm disappointed in my own hasty decision to buy the black suit mentioned in my first post on this thread. I've learned my lesson. I have been unable to lose the weight, as is common for me...

    A shoe question

    I believe Orgetorix was quite correct in his evaluation. I would also like to state that mixing navy and black apparel might not be acceptable unless your clothing already has the mix. For instance, a black suit with blue pinstripes might allow for a navy shirt. However, I wouldn't wear a...

    Selling some pants

    Just in case any of you are interested, I'm selling some new pants that didn't fit me. They're nice for the office, or just kick arounds. 100% cotton. Here's some pictures with links below...

    After 6

    As I recall, and as others have recalled for me, both sets of grandparents were extremely hard working folks that didn't really have time to "relax" as per our common understanding. My mother's father was a Postal Carrier during the day (I need to get some real sharp pics of his uniform on...

    Dinner Jacket from RL

    Oh, I hope you chaps don't think I was making fun! No, I simply don't like the jacket myself; it's not something I would wear, nor is it something I would buy - mainly on the basis that I have little that would go with it, and nowhere to take it out. Unfortunately, I don't have many black tie...

    Polishing Wingtips

    If there is another thread covering this info, please respond with a link and I would be happy to go there. I have looked over the search results and a few threads and I could not seem to find what I was looking for. </disclaimer> Could someone please give me tips on polishing wingtips? I own...

    Dinner Jacket from RL

    Although interesting, I find this dinner jacket atrocious for my personal taste. (although, hey, my avatar DOES show me in notch lapels and a red bowtie ;) ) Now if I found that for $5 at my local thrift store...I might buy it...if it were in my size and required minimal tailoring...and I...

    Tipping Your Hat

    I was recently at a Japanese cook-at-the-table restaurant attending a friend's post-wedding "party", nothing formal, just relaxed. I was dressed very casually, cotton short sleeve button down - unbuttoned - with sandals and shorts. In fact, I was wearing one of my cheap straw club hats (not...

    Pocketwatches

    Anyone have any knowledge of Majesti 17 jewel pocketwatches? I've seen a few at watch shops and jewelers. they run about $30 with chain. They look decent, I'm guessing they're something like gold plated. For that price, I'd rather ask the board before running out and purchasing. Any hints on...

    Your Best Lounge Suit

    I know this will be a little dark but I'm wearing my favorite suit: It's a Navy 3B SB Manzoni and no, it's not like the cheap ones on the bay. I was fortunate enough to find one that fit well, worsted wool, good cut, etc. (I've seen a few on the bay that weren't mustard) It's a rather...

    Barber Shops

    I've been waiting about three years to find a barber that would do me this service. There were a few but all have gone away through time. There is now, from what I can discern through multiple telephone calls, only 2 places that still do this. Both are downtown (lawyer and politician clientel)...

    Too much polishing?

    If anything, the only negative comment I would give you is, "Don't worry about what other people think of you unless you're running for political office," and keep shining those shoes!
