    How do you wash silk ties?

    Hog tied This has always been my experience with a tie that has been dry cleaned. The spotting of a tie is like an injury to a favorite pet: a horror. I try to get some cold water on it at the table (screw decorum, it's an expensive tie and it's one of my favorites!) and then some dry cleaning...

    Fish and chips and other balms for the soul

    Fisch und Kartoffel In Cincinnati, Nicholson's on Walnut street has the best fish and chips. There are some other local contenders but it's the champ. Will anyone else confess to liking this only as a vehicle for the malt vinegar and tartar sauce, much like shrimp are simply the pallets for...

    If I had to pick one girl from the golden era

    Audrey looks, personality and 'class'. (And I loathe the circumstance that using the word 'class' identifies the user as one who lacks it.)

    Casablanca 'style' white Tuxedo / Dinner Jacket

    Dinner at 8 I just got my Magnoli dinner jacket and trousers today (how on earth do they pack these in a box the size of a small city telephone book?) and it looks exactly like this except for the cuff buttons (Magnoli uses three).

    faux trouser cuffs

    Fo' cuffs This thread is a great help for any of us who have bought a vintage suit and found that there isn't enough fabric to make a 'real' cuff and still have the desired inseam. I am still not clear if these were done 'back in the day', but would expect so as the economy necessitated...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Don't Bogart that DVD, my friend, pass it over to me Watched half each of Sierra Madre and The Big Sleep. I believe Bogart would make in film today as much as he did in his time.

    SLOE GIN

    Confession When I make my own Martinis, Gordon's is the poison of choice. Good enough for any man, and better than many of us deserve.

    SLOE GIN

    Gin up I love to read/her gin enthusiasts wax on about the bouquet and botanicals of the premium gins but I agree with your general implication, re Seagram's, that the differences between most gins are not worth a premium price tag, and of course, drink what you like. (Except for sloe gin...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Jimmy Stewart This movie holds up well. I think even 'modern' movie goers would like it.

    Federation Deluxe IV Size

    Standard vs Deluxe Folks here who have the Deluxe swear it is better. I am happy with the standard. Either is a very nice hat and the price difference isn't really a deterrent to the higher quality one.

    Federation Deluxe IV Size

    Federation obsession I need an intervention, quickly. I ordered the Federation IV carbon Monday. Stop the madness! I love these hats! Jenny noted that I only need the black to complete the lineup but I am saving that.

    Federation Deluxe IV Size

    Federation veneration Yes, www.hatsdirect.com in Australia. I ordered the tawny fawn on November 5 and it was delivered in Fort Thomas KY on Thursday, November 12. I did not opt for the most expensive courier delivery, either, just the airmail. Wow. Half way around the world in a week...

    Fedora and suit matching

    Tip Top The black suit is limiting; I'd only feel comfortable in a lighter gray, the lighter the better. The charcoal suit would support fawn and darker gray. I've seen dark brown too but it's harder to pull off. Depends on the shades. But, consider the source of this advice: an anonymous...

    Of Sheep-Dip, Rot-Gut, and Furniture Polish. The worst of the worst.

    When Worse comes to Wurst I suppose many of these horrible concoctions reach their absolute nadir when turned into jello shots. Please, I hope these are never served in the Fedora Lounge! Bartenders, attend!
