    Oh no....computer commits mutiny!

    If you have onboard video and you're having overheating problems, you're in trouble. Your motherboard is overheating. First thing to check is whether all your fans are still functioning. Take the case off and turn on the computer to see if all your case fans and mobo fans are running. If they...

    What modern invention/innovation do you wish had *never* been developed?

    You guys, so surly and curmudgeonly! :P Rap is definitely at the top of my list. RAP = Retards Attempting Poetry I can't say cell phones, because they provide a great deal of added safety while travelling. I feel A LOT better that my wife has a cell phone with her when she goes out, so I know...

    What should I do with these 'project shoes'? Spectators?

    Go for the spectators; clearly that's where your heart lies and honestly, what have you got to lose? Do anything else and you'll always be wondering how those specs might have turned out. Caveat is that you MUST post progress pics for all of us to admire! :P

    Vintage blazer mystery

    The long string of numbers starting with a 3 could very well be a military stock number, but the jacket doesn't look at all like a military uniform. 2 thoughts come to my mind; conversion from tunic to blazer, or perhaps officer's mess dress? Just a thought.

    What are you wearing today??

    I very strongly favour the downbrim myself, but the brim stance is very much a personal choice. It goes a long way toward projecting a certain persona or image. For what it's worth, you look excellent with that downbrim going on. Very dapper.

    Canadians in the Lounge?

    Well, surprised I haven't seen this thread before! Welcome to all the new members from Canada, and hearty greetings to the veteran members from Canada! I'm North Vancouver born and raised, currently living in the valley just east of Vancouver.

    The Dress Shirt Pocket Poll

    I prefer the look of no pockets, but I have to admit the pocket frequently proves extremely practical. I tend to wear waistcoats more often than not, which more than compensates for this of course.

    What are you wearing today??

    Me not showing enough linen lol It's actually that the sleeves on this shirt are too short rather than the jacket sleeves being too long. One can't win em all I guess. I rather like this old shirt; hopefully I can find one in identical pattern cloth someday with proper length sleeves!

    What are you wearing today??

    Frank, that is a stunning suit! Outstanding ensemble! Only minor point is just to show a wee bit of linen at the sleeve cuffs. Other than that, perfect.

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    I bought a couple of $6 insoles from Wal-Mart and they greatly improve the fit as well as the cushioning, so I'm away to the races! Now to find some Cordovan shoe polish. Any suggestions one where to purchase it?

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    Hi gents! Just picked up these Florsheims at the Goodwill for $7.99. Burgundy colour and the leather upper and soles are in remarkably good condition (if you've ever looked at shoes at a thrift store, you'll know what I mean!) I wear 10.5 shoes typically, and these are a full size bigger at...

    What are you wearing today??

    I respectfully disagree. I think a collar bar might be too much considering he already has a tie bar and the metal of his braces clips. I think it's just right! Work environment permitting, a blazer or sport coat would be awesome. I agree that it's an excellent look though! More of us young men...

    Naw, I don't own anything vintage! I think you might have more/better hats than me too (although my Stratoliner is pretty fantastic :D)

    Gents - Thanks for the info! One of the many reasons I love the lounge is the plethora of knowledge on all things sartorial :D Splintercellz - Thanks! I guess we're suit brothers now, or something like that lol.
