    The Official RRL Thread

    Yes. I don't think they always have to match, but for this particular boot, it would look better to me if they did. If the toe and heel were plain, I would not mind the contrast with the shaft.

    Thanks, I was considering it, but not any more. I don't hate it but I don't love it as much as I love $1400 in my wallet.

    The texture is not as bumpy as a seersucker, it's hard to capture in pictures. I have to get within a foot to see it. It's rough but not scratchy.

    I have it, I like it. What do you want to know?

    I also bought the sherpa. I can't really defend the price, but isn't that true for most things RRL? The colors of the denim and the lining were exactly what I was looking for, and I like the subtle pattern embroidered on the pockets. I can't recall a Type III sherpa jacket from RRL in the...

    I haven't tried the benchgrade shoes, but I'm 9E in Allen Edmonds 5 last and 9.5 in the Kent Wang handgrade penny loafer.

    Kent Wang - Affiliate thread

    My polos gradually shrink over many washes. I wash in cold water and hang-dry but there is still a little shrinkage over 1-2 years. I put one in the dryer by mistake on low heat and it shrank significantly, in contrast to the experience of others.

    Gilbert Center is still active in 2015! He should be over 90 years old now.

    Momotaro

    Getting from Harajuku to Aoyama is a 10-15 minute walk down one of the nicest streets (called Omotesando) in Tokyo. Or one stop on the Chiyoda line, from Meiji-jingumae station in Harajuku to Omotesando station, if you're in a hurry.

    Momotaro

    They don't have a lot of stores. There are 2 in Tokyo. The more convenient one to Harajuku is the Aoyama store in the Ao building near Omotesando station.

    Feeling lost. Do I suck at dressing? Here's a pic for example:

    It looks completely appropriate. The fact that you are wearing a tie puts you in the upper tier of physicians these days. Blue shirts work best with white coats and that's what I wear in clinic 95% of the time (occasionally lavender or pink). lordjeebus, MD

    'Throne of Blood' Japanese wall art

    Hasegawa Tohaku's art is also at that temple, the second picture here: http://www.kodaiji.com/entoku-in/see/hojo.html I'd buy a pocket square of that.

    'Throne of Blood' Japanese wall art

    Entokuin is part of Kodaiji temple, which I linked to above. This one is by the same 20th Century artist 志村正 (read Shimura Tadashi).

    'Throne of Blood' Japanese wall art

    I agree that they are not technically fusuma-e since it's a wall and not fusuma. I'm not an expert on art from the period that the movie is set in, but I've seen my share of Japanese castles and old Japanese art and I've never seen minimalist art like that. There is a similar depiction of...

    I don't think the sizing has changed. My experience has been that even with cold water washing and hang-drying, there is some shrinkage with time.
