     The main thing is that the tweed is nice and nuanced. The blue has bits if red and the eggshell blue is an interesting fabric. That and the fact that they don't have branding all over them. That's the other major thing.

    What does Style Forum think of these hats? Full disclosure: they are part of my personal Kickstarter. I'm looking for attention but also some feedback.

    Bump and Price Drop Lawless 12oz Kaihara Mills Organic Indigo Denim 34x36

    Behold, a crisp pair of 12oz. organic denim with green selvedge id in slim straight fit. Really pretty cool jeans and I'm bummed they don't fit better. I've only worn them inside for the 20 minutes it took me realize they weren't going to work. I think they will fade really well and the price is...

    Frank and Oak vs Everlane

    After a few months with these chinos and a few shirts, don't waste your time with Frank and Oak. Everlane, on the other hand, is fully on point with quality, service and price.

    Frank and Oak vs Everlane

    I just ordered a pair of chinos and a denim shirt from Frank and Oak. The whole experience has been really interesting. I had to ask for an invite to the site. They put me on a "waiting list" but told me I could get in right away if I referred people or posted about the site on social media...

    East vs West Coast Living

    I'm from Northern Virginia but I lived in Portland, Oregon for like 8 years. DC is because there all these self-proclaimed foodies and decent restaurants are so hard to get into but the quality of food is usually not what it is elsewhere and doesn't tend to be very creative. On the other hand...

    Has anyone ever used waterproofing wax on their denim. This says it won't leave residue but I actually think it would be more interesting if it did. Also, if anyone has used waterproofing wax like this, what's the difference between using it on a brand new pair of dry denim versus a pair that...

    Do you buy more than one of the same clothing type?

    I do this with running shoes all the time because I know what I like and tend to buy at a steep discount when I buy them.

    Gilt failing

    Have you ever noticed that all their models are the same exact size and weight. Seemed like they just picked 6' 165lbs with a size 40 suit as their default and never change it for the specific models.

    Another round of..."Critique the Celebrity Outfit"

    So funny to see this. I quit listening to Phish back in like 96 when Fishman still wore a tie-dyed dress to all their concerts. I think Page looks good (the guy on the far right.)

    Swimming and Weight Loss

    Yeah it sounds like you might want to mix it up. Maybe try jumping rope for 10-15 minutes instead of the 1.5 miles on the treadmill. Running outside would also be an option.

    DC Area Tailor / Selvedge Denim

    The guys at Commonwealth all use the same woman. You'd have to ask them who it is though. If that helps.

    Where to find a stylish waterproof jacket

    I don't have one myself, but I've always wondered why Filson jackets don't get the love here that their bags do.

    Can having a bachelor's degree work against your career mobility?

    Sounds like you either need to leave Seattle or start thinking about your Master's.
