    Russell Moccasin can't make me shoes - who now?

    I just received a letter from Russell Moccasin that my foot is too wide relative to my narrow heel for them to make a last on which to make me a pair of knock-about summer slip-ons. Now since the whole point is for these to be knock-about the usual bespoke options are not really an option. Are...

    Mystery Bespoke Tailor of Yesteryear

    My dinner jacket that I've had since college finally gave up the ghost (the satin silk lapels were treated pretty rough back in the day and are showing too much wear), but it hardly justifies the cost of refacing the lapels. Since I wasn't inclined to buy MTM or bespoke given the limited use...

    Fine English Company

    I stumbled upon this site: http://www.fineenglishcompany.com/pr...egory=clothing Apparently they are making zebra-fur Prince Albert slippers. A quick search found a post from them about a year ago in RJ's thread when they were starting up. Anyone know anything about them?

    Bowring Arundel

    Among those who remember it, there seems to be much enthusiasm for Bowring Arundel. They are before my time, so when I received an old hand-me-down Bowring Arundel & Co. shirt I was surprised by its construction. I'm not sure of the date (the label has the 31 Savile Row address), but the...

    New office design: thoughts?

    I basically need a library wall of storage and a large height adjustable work surface. I had thought Vitsoe 606 ( http://www.vitsoe.com/ ) at first, but am now leaning toward Biblomodel ( http://www.library-furniture.com/shelves.htm and http://www.biblomodel.com.mx/section/283.html ) for both...

    late 90s interior design

    A decade later, what things would you say characterize interior design from the late 1990s and early 2000s (roughly 1998-2002)? My first thoughts were 1) all things by Citterio and 2) the use of now ubiquitous midcentury pieces like Eames as showpieces. What else?

    Older yachts---how bad of an idea?

    How much of a potential money pit is an older yacht (e.g., a ~40 ft Hatteras Motor Yacht from the 70s)? The use would mostly be as a docked live-aboard, but with some local transit.

    shoe experience at IKEA

    I'm adding some storage to the guest-room closet so I went to IKEA in College Park, MD to buy some parts. The following conversation with the woman at the register ensued: "Those are nice shoes." "Thanks." "What are they? Johnston & Murphy? Allen-Edmonds?" "No, they're Edward Green...but those...

    fake battistoni ties

    So I thought I had the eBay buying all worked out, but it looks like I picked up a fake Canali as part of a lot I bought a while back. Just for reference, this http://www.auctiva.com/hostedimages/...s=0,0&format=0 is real while this http://cgi.ebay.com/Battistoni-Silk-...QQcmdZViewItem is...

    $400 Ralph Lauren gift card

    I received this after a pair of purple label cords had some defects (fabric ripped at the seams in multiple places), but now I've spent far too long looking for another pair my size (28) and am looking to sell the card. The card can be used at any Ralph Lauren store, including outlets, but not...

    Wool gabardine topcoats

    I just picked up a rather old one made for Louis, Boston in black with a ghillie collar that almost rolls open to a notch lapel. I haven't seen one new for a very long time. It seems like a nice compromise between raincoat and topcoat. Any thoughts on these?

    Ghurka

    The word is that new-production Ghurka products are made in China. Does anyone know when this started? Was it coincident with the MH initials coming of the logo or did it happen before that?

    IC: Vintage Women's Knize Suit

    This is the most amazing tailored garment I've ever seen, but it doesn't fit my wife. I'd guess it is about a 6 or an 8, but slim through the chest and arms. Description: very much a soft interpretation of Dior's New Look, made in the early 1950s Charcoal flannel Cropped jacket with hacking...

    Madrid: really as much petty crime as they claim?

    I'll be heading out for Madrid on business in a few weeks, but will also be taking a few days in between meetings for vacation. The thing is, I've been hearing tons of reports about pickpocketing and the like. I've traveled in Italy (including Siciliy) to some extent (though away from tourist...
