    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    What Happens in the Apartment, stays .... I agree. She's just good at compartmentalizing. I wish I had had teachers this good at keeping their personal life out of our classroom. On the other hand, how do we know what she assigns for essay topics?

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Spare Changeling The reviews were not kind but I liked it too. Just a reminder that murdering fiends are not a new phenomenon. I don't think that is a 'spoiler', exactly.

    The $4,300 Shirt

    A Fool and Their Money...Had Better Not Let the Spouse See the Statement Marc Chevalier writes "The cost police hath spoken." We are all better off when people who have odd notions of what to spend their money on, do: It gets back into circulation. It used to be more difficult to manage...

    The $4,300 Shirt

    Crime and Punishment But now they OWN this shirt, which is surely its own punishment for profligate spending.

    Kingsley Amis This sounds like the famous description by Kingsley Amis of a hangover. "His mouth had been used as a latrine by some small creature of the night...and then as its mausoleum..."

    JaegerGelt My younger friends admit to occasionally drinking something they call Jaegermeister with small gold flecks in it. As if Jaegermeister needed anything else to make it worse. It may be a concoction that mixes two noxious spirits, one having the gold leaf in it, to amuse the bowels...

    A Band of Brothers and a Sister OK! That's three of us! Still, so much Jaegermeister, so little time to warn the others!

    Band of Brothers ...and Sisters You and I are the only two people I know who hate Jaegermeister. At least we don't have flecks of faux gold leaf in our small intestines. Well, perhaps I do for another reason, for another thread.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Swing Kids I grant you the plot is cheesy and ridiculous enough to turn the title into the viewer's valedictory for the producers, but honestly, I thought the costumes and other period touches were not bad. And, more ridiculous still, the story has a basis in fact: the Nazis did persecute...

    Coat arm holes, how high is high?

    Indy Scye I just received my first Magnoli suit a few days ago.(the 'Washington Suit', a db in charcoal pinstripe). I did not measure the circumference but the scye (thanks, Mr. Chevalier!) is as high as the WWII German uniforms made by Michael Janke, which are pretty high. That said, it is...

    The $4,300 Shirt

    Control is power Some eBayer's wife's husband has just handed her a key piece of evidence for the Guardianship/Conservatorship proceedings sure to follow soon. That's assuming she doesn't opt for a solution that will find her in the criminal justice system.

    At what temperature do you change your hat?

    Snow=chapeaux I do not wear straw hats (yet) and wait for the first snow or teens temperature to wear my fedoras. Why? I don't know, it's just what I do.

    Worst Hat Bashes

    Creases! I agree this bash is a fantasy. Who would ruin a good hat to prove it can be done?

    Worst Hat Bashes

    I sometimes wear my fedoras this way, in imitation of that look. It doesn't work well for me but no one has been rude enough to say so. Yet.

    Picked your poison Jamespowers, I believe you. It is too embarassing to admit that I have NONE of these ingredients in house at the moment. Well, I have gin, but my tastes are low and I admit to liking Gordon's and Beefeaters. Someday.....

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Maguire writes: "Is this trenchcoat fine or would you throw a tomato at me weairng this? thanks for any input."Ha! Well put. I think it looks fine. The length is OK too. You got yourself a nice, vintage looking raincoat for not much. Enjoy it.

    Alcohol as a hair tonic?

    Store-bought or home-made? I recall my father's father wore some vitalis or Brylcreem or other hair dressing which caused my grandmother to install the 'anti-maccassars' on the chairs and sofa. Some of these she made herself of crochet'ed lace. I wonder if these are yet seen in any homes?

    Scored Deadstock Dress Shirts 1936-38

    The Arrow Shirt Man You are very lucky. Those who wear more generous sizes are doomed to envy. There were not many 16/35 guys in the '30's.

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    The Day the Music Died I can only hope you're right! On the other hand, Don's not really cut out for Mr. Mom. And, we would miss January Jones' best acting 'parts' as alluded to by another poster, Mr. Chevalier.
