    Home wireless file sharing

    I feel like an idiot for having to ask this, but I can't figure out how to do something that must be pretty straightforward. StyleForum has always provided good answers to tech queries, so here goes... I have both a desktop and a laptop connected to the same router (the former wired, the latter...

    Weird new chain in Ireland

    (i)Gents, I just happened to cycle past a new alterations tailor in Cork, and discovered that it's actually a franchise of a nationwide chain. It's called The Zip Yard (http://www.thezipyard.ie/). I promise that I'm not shilling for them -- it just seemed kind of odd (and comment-worthy) that...

    Clear Metal Collar Stays: Coming soon?

    I can't find the epic thread in which the existence of clear metal collar stays was postulated. Nonetheless, that possibility may become actual -- Oxford scientists have, apparently, created a transparent form of aluminium: http://www.physorg.com/news167925273.html The bad news is that the...

    Recommend me a AVI to DVD converter

    Quick version: Can anyone recommend me a free program that will allow me to convert downloaded .avi files to watchable DVDs? Longer version: I'm sick of watching downloaded TV shows on my computer, and so I'd like to burn them onto DVDs, so that I can watch them on my telly. There seem to be a...

    Mohair

    I just picked up a new suit and it's in a 80% Wool, 20% Mohair blend. I've never owned anything in mohair before, so can anyone tell me (or point me in the direction of) more information about it? I know it's quite breathable, so it should be good for warm weather. Anything else?

    New Prince Album

    <crap pun>Perhaps it's a "Sign o' the times"... </crap pun> Much to my distaste, I was forced to buy a copy of the Daily (Hate) Mail today, because Prince decided to release his new album as a freebee with the newspaper. Story here: [bbc website]. Anyone else heard it? Any thoughts (either on...

    Help: Candle Wax Removal

    I was out drinking last night in a bar with candles on the table, and some tosser knocked one over so that the wax spilled on my nice Evisus. I didn't notice until this morning, and now the wax is dried on/in. Does anyone have any handy hints for getting wax out of denim?

    Local Produce (with pics)

    Has anyone ever heard of an Irish shoemaker called "Blarney Bróg"? I went shopping for a new pair of Chelsea boots today. The only thing halfway decent I saw was an overpriced pair of grain-corrected Loakes, until... I stumbled upon what I assume are locally produced shoes ("bróg" is Irish...

    Beau Brummell Drama

    Did anyone see the dramatisation of Beau Brummell's life that just aired on BBC4 this evening? (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0788026/) I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of other SF-ers. It seemed oddly over-dramatised, and I wonder how much of the detail was invented by the director to make...

    Timberlake album cover

    I am endorsing neither his musical content nor his general stylistic accumen, but can anyone identify the suit being sported by Justin Timberlake on the cover of his new album? Dior? Thom Browne? Helmut Lang? Jil Sander? Miu Miu?

    Pink Seersucker ... how to?

    I just picked up a RL Polo odd jacket in "raspberry" and white seersucker. It's the "congressman" model, if that helps, but I can't find a picture on polo.com Anyway... I have no idea what to wear it with. It really was an impulse purchase because it fits really well, it has surgeon's cuffs at...

    My First Seersucker

    Those of you in Toronto might be interested to know that Stollery's currently has a 25% off sale on Haspel seersucker and madras stuff. Some pretty cool pieces there. Given that I'm about to leave North America, I thought I'd better pick one up, and I'm very pleased with it. I think it will...

    Moving Home

    I thought I'd seek some advice: I'll soon be moving home. It will be permanent, to a different continent, and not do-able by land travel alone. It now dawns on me that my absurdly large collection of shirts, ties, suits and shoes might not have been such a prudent acquisition. The...

    Cufflinks on a jacket?

    I'm sure this will meet with howls of derision. It's from Roberto Cavalli's s/s 2006 collection, and it looks like a jacket being worn with cufflinks... Comments?

    Seersucker pants cut like jeans?

    Anyone know of a decent-but-cheap way I can get some pants which are cut like jeans, but made from seersucker? Is this even possible or permissible? High-street prices/locations would be preferable.

    UK Civil Service goes "Business Casual"?

    Did anyone see this BBC news article? Whatever next? Short sleeve suits?

    Big pony

    Did anyone see the new RL "Big Pony" custom fit polo shirts? I actually quite like them; they seem to say "LOOK AT MY PONY." If only they didn't have the silly number on the sleeve, I'd consider it, as the new(ish) "custom fit" is quite flattering.

    Ashton Kutcher: Style Icon

    There is so much that is wrong in this picture, I barely know where to start. Perhaps I'll throw it open to commentary... At least he looked presentable in a suit; I guess now he's the one who has been "punk'd"
