    Epaulet shop - Official Affiliate thread

     Depends what you need done. Trouser hems: across the street, Orchard Tailor Svc. More than that, the recs seem to be: Pablo @ Stanton Tailors (very popular, the "most recommended" tailor in the area, might have to wait 2 months) Eduardo @ Allen Tailoring (Matt's pick for jacket...

    VASS and Epaulet MTO & Group Buy Thread

     I've had a pair of Modified last for the past 2.5 years on regular rotation and I'd say that it's wide in the forefoot but not in the rest of the shoe. For me the fit is close through the heel and midfoot but without any restriction in the toebox (which I still get with e.g. Barrie). I've...

    Retirement

    Forget the cap...just don't exclude people from contributing to a Roth once your AGI gets respectable. I think it's about 175k for married couples this year and you cannot make a Roth contribution and your IRA contributions are post tax yet you have to pay tax on any earnings. WTF? Google for...

    Fitting a 15" Macbook into Filson Medium Field Bag?

    A 13" MacBook barely fits in mine (without sleeve), so a 15" would have no hope. I've had the same thought though: I'll probably upgrade to a 15" soon and I'd like to avoid ugly laptop bags...

    Hmm, wouldn't you fall with Purcells?

    I think JPs are a shoe you should try on or be able to exchange sizes easily... there seems to be no consensus on fit. I wear a size LARGER in JPs than I do in anything else. And as far as JPs on ice... try to move like you're skating rather than walking. It works better

    Clarks Desert Boots

    I got mine a week ago at the Clark's store in Bellevue, WA. The Martin+Osa store there also had them. No idea why the Clark's US site (which is really Zappos) doesn't have them yet.

    Clarks Desert Boots

    Beeswax is back. I just bought a pair at a Clark's store yesterday and the salesperson said they just got them in a few weeks ago. I think they only had one other color, and I don't remember which one it was.

    Guinness...now what?

    SS makes a pretty good oatmeal stout, too. Young's (London) also makes a good one that's widely available. I'd also recommend (like a previous poster) Rogue Shakespeare Stout, which has some oatmeal in it (though not as much) and is also an excellent stout.

    I think I like Belgian beer

    Various responses to various people... not sure how to do multiple quotes right now, so these are lacking the citations. I know I've read accounts of certain bars in Belgium (probably very special ones even by Belgian standards, however) to have aged versions of the "good" beers such as Chimay...

    Got a Seiko - it's "ok"

    Seiko 5s and some of the other Southeast Asia market automatics seem good cheap-as-dirt watches. I have a "military-style" automatic that I had to order from malaysia for all of $90, and I'm quite happy with it for the price. Much nicer to me than the Fossils and Skagens you can get...

    Navy Cotton Suit
