    What handbag should my mom get ?

    ok IMHO in no way can he afford an LV, Dior, Balenciaga, etc. and even less a hermes (do you realise how much those cost!) at 500 dollars. I would not suggest a Marc Jacobs as I have seen on two occasions the leather stain from wearing them agaisnt a pair of jeans or many other surfaces...

    Why aren't pockets sewn into shearling coats?

    if I'm not mistaken I think it's because these are mainly hand pockets 9not for storing stuff) and by having them not stitched all around you get an extra layer of shearling all around the pocket and the coat, thus making it less penetrable to cold. I find this is often the case on Shearling...

    Is this Rizal leather peacoat worth anything?

    I can't vouch for quality but Rizal is I believe a French producer of furs, they have a store in Lyon and I hear that they produce in Europe, I have bought Rizal as gifts for female friends and family and I found it to be quite nice but I have no knowledge in furs so take it as a random...

    Pen advice.

    I wouldn't adventure myslef into fountain pen territory until having at least tried one for something like a week or so. Buy a cheap Waterman or something and see if it is the best solution for your needs. Then opt for a nice pen. just my opinion though.

    Wine pairings with Chocolate Cake

    You could try Brachetto, Vin Santo , Banyuls or Tawny Port. However, I think you generally will enjoy dessert wines more with cheese or by themselves and dessert more without wine. cheese goes with red wine dessert with white.

    Wine pairings with Chocolate Cake

    champagne would probably fare along well. Tokaj would be good, think white and sweet. Savoian Straw dried grape wine would rock as well IMO. (vin de paille)

    The Official Beer Thread

    best cheap beer is Stella or Budweiser budvar, the czech one. Tiskie is good as well. I really do enjoy a Beck's or Pilsner Urquell though slightly more expensive.
