Poorly Dressed SA's
You're putting Crate and Barrel and Mercedes Benz in the same category? I was making an analogy. They are not in the same category (one deals with housewares while the other cars.) The word "or" is used, not the word "and." In an overall sense, yes they are in a similar relation of being more...- JasonC8301

Best Man Watch Gift?
Really depends what your brother does on a daily basis. I personally like my Hamilton Khaki Navy GMT and paid ~$500 for it approx 10 months ago. http://www.princetonwatches.com/shop/H77615133.asp Its a fairly thick watch and has a large diameter face so its not for everyone.- JasonC8301

Poorly Dressed SA's
The worst I can recall was an overweight young, ugly woman working at Emporio Armani in SoHo, as well as a obese young man working there. There was no way the clothing they were wearing was from EA. It was enough of a turn off that me and a few others that were loyal to that location stopped...- JasonC8301

Poorly Dressed SA's
I would vote for Macy's, but then again the crowd and selection isn't all that great. Sure I am broad stroking the population but Macy's shoppers are different from lets say Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom shoppers (same can be said for Ikea versus Crate and Barrel or a Kia dealer versus a Mercedes...- JasonC8301

Acetone didn't do the trick - Plan B?
wipe the shoe down with 99% alcohol, spread shaving cream on it and leave it on overnight, then wipe it down with more 99% alcohol. If that doesn't work, +1 on aldica's comment about the cobbler shop.- JasonC8301

Your favorite watch under $135
I vote for the Seiko 5. I had one for about $65 USD and sold it recently for a lot less. The mineral glass just doesn't last in the work I do (repair shop.) I replaced it with a Hamilton Khaki Navy GMT watch and have been happy ever since (about 10 months ago) and the sapphire glass doesn't have...- JasonC8301

Which suit? Hong Kong mid range vs US rack
Due to my body type OTR just is not an option for me. My drop is just too large so the jacket usually fits but the pant's waist is usually 4 or 5 inches too big. Before I started on this board I was brought by a friend to a US measuring session with Modell Fashions, located in TST Kowloon...- JasonC8301

Shoe care
or buy patent leather shoes... Its not the same. Being former military, I had a pair of leather shoes that were approved for wear (spit shined of course.) Out of my entire battalion only 3 people had these shoes and they were a subtle way of standing out because the shine on them were...- JasonC8301

Best shoe polish?
I may be banned for this but I take shaving cream and spread it all over the shoe and leave it over night. I then wipe it off in the morning with 70% alcohol. I spread a really thick layer of Kiwi on the shoe and then leave it over night. I take a lighter to the shoe the next day and melt the...- JasonC8301

Best shoe polish?
I use regular kiwi. I had a pair of plain toe shoes go bad on me after 3 years of wear (three times a week.) The inside cracked and started to come apart but the outside was spit and polished with black kiwi. I blame myself though. I did not use shoe trees and sometimes wore the shoe on back to...- JasonC8301

Watches - Is it tacky to attach a high end deployant buckle to a low end watch?
Whats next, $10,000 20" spinners on a $500 1989 Honda CRX with different colored body panels? +1 on KBW's comment. Why not just buy a Patek? Only suggestions, its your money, spend it however you like...- JasonC8301

As the first snow falls in T.O., what shoes or boots will you be wearing to work?
My 8" black Danner Acadia combat boots, haha j/k. I don't own any stylish dress boots so my shoes will do, although I'll have to keep on them and rotate them more often.- JasonC8301

Cable v. DSL Internet Service
+1 on Fios. I have had cable for a few years and service sucked due to the other folks on the pipe hogging all the bandwidth while DSL is too slow in this flash based internet heavy age. Heck my computer is getting slow on handling some software.- JasonC8301

What to take to ease nerves before a presentation?
Doing it over and over again until it just happens naturally. A big hand in my presentation skills were cultured during recruit training for the USMC down in Parris Island, SC. Sure if you drink or take some meds you can face a whole new set of issues. I personally do not drink often or in...- JasonC8301

Recommend tailor in Brooklyn, NYC?
It may be a far ways down on the 95th street exit on the R train, but 99th street cleaners for me. The two brothers there live and breath military uniforms and the only people in NYC that I trusted with my USMC uniforms and now with my suits, dry cleaning, and alterations/tailoring (been going...- JasonC8301

Belts & colour coordination
I am partial to Galco belts. www.usgalco.com 1 1/4" CSB4 in black along with the 1 1/2" SB2 in black and tan for me. The SB2 may be a bit too much belt for a lot of people but if it can support a gun, it'll support a blackberry that much better, let alone your pants.- JasonC8301

What Model Is This Oxxford?
To my knowledge, Oxxford is a custom suit maker. $2500 is around what they charge for a suit. If it fits well, $700 sounds like a deal?- JasonC8301
