    Toronto Housing Market Thread

    This property pricing is bananas. I thought we could share how we cope with it. My dilemma: Should I borrow 700k now to buy an entry-level detatched house in the burbs this year (milton, Mississauga, Brampton)? Or just rent for a few years and hope the market chills out? I'm worried if I don't...

    OGER house brand?

    Anyone have thoughts on OGER (in Amsterdam)? I'm eyeing a navy hopsack blazer in vbc super 100. Currently 50% off. Would work out your around 225 euro (after tax rebate), which seems like a good price for a staple. Like the styling. So the only real question is if anyone here can speak to...

    Foreign Exchange and Buying CM from Affiliates.

    I live in Canada. Most of the items I would like to buy (from Styleforum Affiliates) are denominated in other currencies. The recent change in the Canada to US exchange rate has made the shoes I want to buy from US vendors, for example, around 20% more expensive than they were in mid-2014...

    Hello All. It seems like I'm missing good stuff happening here in Toronto (sales, meetups, etc). My thoughts are that we should have one centralized Toronto thread. For all sales and Toronto-centric conversation. Prior Threads Alterations...

    $500 Momento from Italy

    I will be travelling to Italy soon, and would like to bring back something as a momento. I would have loved to have a suit made, but that's way beyond my budget right now, so that will have to wait for another time. Within this price range, I was thinking a) a few nice ties, b) a unique cloth...

    Building an outfit around this sport coat

    Hello all. So, I just placed an order for this and I am thinking about how to assemble a tasteful outfit around it. The jacket is pure cashmere. I would prefer that the outfit is towards the more formal side of what can be done with the jacket. This is for a business casual day, but I...

    Momento from Tel-Aviv

    I did a quick search, and only found dated threads. I will be in Tel-Aviv. I like to pick up something when I travel. I'm looking for a good tie, or a pocket square. Possibly shoes. Anywhere worth visiting in Tel-Aviv? Prior threads seemed to suggest that most people from the area buy these...

    What is required for the perfect tie dimple?

    So, I've become somewhat obsessed with getting the perfect tie dimple. You more experienced members: How come some ties give a perfect, teardrop-shaped tie dimple, like this: And others give this horrible crevice, like this: I'm not talking differences in the way it's tied; I'm...

    Please Help! Can't post pictures in classifieds

    URGENT MATTER OF INTERNATIONAL IMPORTANCE: Does this tie match this suit?

    Hello. I am bad at matching patterns, but trying to learn. Do this suit and tie match? To my eye they do, and look summer-ey in the process, but I know there's the rule to not combine two small patterns. Are my eyes deceiving me, or is this an exception to the rule? I would nix the...

    Areas to avoid in Boston (help me avoid getting robbed this evening!)

    My wife said I wasn't spontaneous enough when we travel, so to prove her wrong I suggested we go on an unplanned trip to Boston. Last night we stayed in Rochester. The Gps doesn't have an "avoid ghettos" feature, and we wound up in an area where lots of the windows were boarded up and people...

    What is this spot on my Red Wings boot?

    Hello all. I have a small spot on the tip of the toe cap of my right boot. I know that at one point it got scuffed there, but one day all of a sudden it was very dark. I think I may have accidentally spilled cooking grease on the spot. It would be a fluke, but the spot seemed to appear...

    Can these strands be fixed?

    Hello all, I've been looking for strands in 10E for a while now. I found these. 1) Can the rip at the back be repaired by a cobbler or by recrafting? 2) Does anyone know how much this would cost? 3) Are they too worn out to bother? If anyone has strands or park aves in 10e (single...
