    This or That

    Everything goes better with bacon.

    This or That

    I have another one. Kevin Costner makes some (IMHO) nifty sports-related movies. Two of my favorites: For Love of the Game, or Draft Day?

    This or That

    Hands down, Karen Allen. Here's a new twist, a completely different pair: Pho or Carpaccio?

    What Sense Does A Cummerbund Make?

    A cummerbund was also often used as a place to hold opera tickets, or small totable items. That's why the opening of the "creases" in a cummerbund always face up.

    WTB: Navy Blue Stingy Brim (up to 2-1/2") in 7-1/4LO

    I'm not looking for a collector hat, but something I can wear just about every day. I wear a lot of jeans and running shoes (I work at a running store, after all), so it should adapt to the casual look. For the record, I have a navy pork pie, and get a lot of compliments on it. I'd just like...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Don't you love it when you receive a package that you forgot you ordered? That was my experience today, as I arrived home to find a Sterkowski box on my front doorstep. A Sterkowski? I had previously ordered a rabbit fur fedora from them late last year. Not long ago, when the weather...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    It seems fitting that Hawking should pass on Pi Day (3.14).

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I've actually heard/seen expecting parents say they are going to the doctor to determine the gender of their new baby. o_O

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    The use of the word "gender" when what is meant is "sex." I guess we're become so obsessed with being offensive that the word "sex" is fraught with "intent." In the running store where I work, we sell unisex socks, not unigender socks. From the dictionary: gen·der ˈjendər/ noun noun...

    This or That

    Raspberry. Always. So... Chocolate with Raspberry, or chocoate with peanut butter?

    This or That

    Red sauce. Spicy, or mild?

    This or That

    Turkey. Both holidays (who eats turkey any other time of year?) :) Stratocaster or Telecaster? (Or, if this is too sublime, Fender or Gibson?)

    Do you own a Tux?

    I'll play, too. I only own one tuxedo, but since I haven't gained weight over the past 25+ years, one is all I've needed. It's a shawl collar, single-breasted, satin-accented traditional model. I update it with a new tie/cummerbund every now and then (although I confess I like the half-vested...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I just got done with Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. It's available on Amazon Prime. Astounding visual affects; reminds me of those in Avatar. Not a high-brow movie, but it was a fun way to while away 2 hours and 17 minutes.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I've been waiting a few days to post this. Today I'm rockin' my new Aero A-2 and my Mallory Eagle (posted also in the "What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?" thread. :p

    Suit without a tie...

    For me, it's the "structured" look versus the "unstructured" look. A properly tailored suit is structured to conform to a man's body, and the design lends itself toward the more formal look. Which means a tie. An unstructured sports jacket or blazer is looser and is an adjunct to the overall...

    Show us your Stingy Brims

    Funny thing - I get more compliments on this hat than I do on any other. Not vintage, but it's navy blue, and so fits with a lot of my casual dress.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Too true. My newest computer (MacBook Pro, purchased last April) has no USB ports. Actually, it has four USB-C ports, for which I can find no accessories that use them. The only benefit I've seen is that the power cord for the computer can plug into any one of them.
