    OT: can a Hong Kong member help me out, in the name of love?

    To all our members in Hong Kong, As part of a wedding anniversary gift for my estranged wife, I would like to get her a box of See's Candy.

    A summer cap

    Hello all, I love the idea of wearing a tweed flat cap on casual occasions during the winter months. But summer is fast approaching here down under. So what's the summer equivalent? Same thing in a lighter weight tweed? Or linen maybe? Something else entirely? Any wisdom and manufacturer links...

    Cleaning shoe soles

    How do people clean the (leather) soles of their shoes. IME, leather soles can look beat up over time, stuff sticks to them easily, and they get rocks embedded in them. How do people make their soles pretty and clean before putting a pair of shoes to bed at night? Thanks very much, Stuart

    Buttons in Australia

    Hi all, I'm wondering where I can find some nice buttons (brown horn in particular) in Australia? Either a physical store in Brisbane, or on the internets. Also, should I attempt button replacement on my jacket myself, or take it to my alterations guy? I've never sewn in my life. Thanks, Stuart

    What are the distinguishing characteristics of a stroller?

    Hi all, I'm curious about the stroller (semi-formal day wear). From drawings I've seen posted by Sator and others, I think the whole semi-formal outfit looks really dapper. And I reckon it could be pulled off in modern society much more easily than morning dress. I would like to start a...

    Difference between Hardy and Minnis cloths

    Hi all, I'm wondering as to the difference between Hardy and Minnis cloths. I know that they're owned by the same company, but I'm wondering if there's any pervasive difference in quality (or any other attribute) between the two companies. I've seen many people rave about Minnis cloths, but...

    What's the big deal with "hand made"?

    People on here seem to have a fetish for all things hand-made, from shoes to suits. My question is: why? Is hand-made apparel actually of superior quality to machine-made stuff? For the overwhelming majority of manufactured goods, this in nowhere near the case. Robots are simply more precise...
