    Will we ever see a return to more formal clothes?

    I think I can bring a different perspective to the debate. I've been obese my entire life(minus a stint in the army), morbidly obese for the last decade and as a result I've never been able to enjoy clothing. I was known by all my friends and family for my black size 44/46 jeans and XXL button...

    Shoe shine:Do your own or take out??

    Prefer to give the business to a good shoe shiner, so when ever I'm in an airport, terminal or mall and there's a stand I always grab a shine...just want to help keep the trade alive. The rest of the time I do it myself...usually just touch ups...nothing hard core.

    Anyone else can't bring themselves to wear vintage/used shoes ?....

    Funny, I always get skittish going into a public pool or even a friends pool that has a lot of people in it...I don't care how much chlorine there is, as far as I'm concerned it's human soup! I have no problems with 2nd hand shoes, my entire collection of shoes(save a recently purchased pair of...

    Genuine shell cordovan shoes

    Got these Alden Jump Boots from J. Crew on "Black Friday" at 12:01 am at 30% off the $600 price tag. Alden doesn't allow discounting the brand and JC said in the fine print that the discount did not apply to them...I tried anyway and it took the order and discounted it. Within 15 minutes JC...

    Shave of the Day

    Thanks! It definitely is nicer than I expected it to be, their website does not do their work justice.

    Shave of the Day

    I just got my Georgetown G5 scuttle yesterday and shaved with it this morning. First, the scuttle is much bigger than the pictures convey on their website(look at the scale of the SR), it swallowed my Mitchell's Wool Fat puck and I got the best lather yet(compared to using a coffee mug). I...

    Shave of the Day

    Welcome back to civilization St.Ignatz....you look much better! One tip...get yourself a set of glasses with a more squared shape, particularly on the top portion...it will break the oval of your face and add a little masculine touch!

    Panama Hat Thread

    Looks Great!!! Wear it with joy K! I've relegated my stained hat to "knock around" status and just put PB on notice that he has to come up with another killer hat for me on par or better. Just remember these words of wisdom...never change the ink in your fountain pen within 50 feet of...

    What are you listening to?

    Jazz Rules! Since I'm in my wine shop six days a week I'm always listening to Jazz that I have streaming to the store speakers from Pandora. I set up a Charlie Parker station which plays his works as well as all his peers. Sunday mornings when i get to give my self a good long straight razor...

    Vintage professions you'd like to see come back.....

    A Good Shoe Shiner & Stand! I've got a great shiner at the men's shoe department in Nordstoms in the Garden State Mall in Paramus NJ...but that's a half an hour drive for me plus parking time. I've got another great shiner at Newark airport which I travel out of once or twice a year... so I...

    30's~40's Work Boots

    JB, I'm the flip side of you...I've never worn the Barrie last, but all I can tell you is that I have a wide size 10 foot and the 9.5D Truebalance fits perfect and has a good sized toe box which might be more a factor of the cap toe design than anything else.

    30's~40's Work Boots

    Actually these boots are built on the Truebalance last and are on the wide side. As I mentioned in my post, I wear a 10E and these boots accommodate my wide foot beautifully in a 9.5D. You would probably be a size 9 with this boot. If the J. Crew web site hasn't yet picked up on the...

    30's~40's Work Boots

    Just snagged these Alden Cap toe jumper boots on "Black Friday". These shell cordovan sweethearts have been locked down at $600-$650 everywhere but J. crew circulated a 30% off coupon that specifically excluded these shoes along with any other non J Crew items. I decided to give it a try...

    What are you wearing today??

    Perhaps! But I've noticed a lot of vintage styles coming back for women, and I think woman are given more flexibility with the looks. I've been accused of "wearing a costume" just because I like wear a fedora with my suits.
