    Has anyone ever switched careers from science to anything else?

    I made the switch (chemistry to finance) by working towards a CFA designation while holding down a STEM-related full time job. This was ten years ago and I think the CFA requirements are a bit tighter now but it worked great for me. The CFA program took about three years of part-time study but...

    Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)

    What does CM recommend as a decent dress belt around $100? Something along the lines of the Allen Edmonds Manistee, which I think can be found on eBay for around that price.

    TOJ - updates on the debacle, complaints, news about other ventures, whatever.

     Major score. Post pics when it arrives.

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

     Momotaro 0201/0901, Ande Whall Cougar/Buffalo, and Iron Heart 1955S all have a high rise and measurements are readily available. LVC also but the inseam always ends up too short for me.

    What's the appeal of the wings/horns x dayton service boots

     I saw your post on the Contentedness thread... I'm so glad you are enjoying them! They look great. This is what they looked like new. I also posted comparison photos of the boots here (next to the same boot straight from Dayton, i.e. not W+H).

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

    Those W+H "straights" measure out pretty similar to DH 19cm... so I guess you could consider the 17.5cm cut.

    The streetwear shoes and boots thread...No sneakers please

    I think I'll wait and see if the mainline MMM on Yoox make it to sale. I have big feet so there's a chance :o

    The streetwear shoes and boots thread...No sneakers please

     Is the quality of the leather the main difference between MMM and HMMMM boots? The side zips I was waiting for popped up on Yoox, and before the HMMMM version dropped I would have just bought them. But now I'm preoccupied with this relative value dilemma when normally I don't worry too...

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

    MoK - What size and where did you buy your W+H? I've been looking at a pair but the retailer won't provide measurements. I want to keep as much inseam as possible so I'd be interested in how much they shrink too. Maybe we can take it to PM if you don't mind.

    Stephan Schneider. You'll Always Find Me In The Kitchen At Parties.

    You guys are so jaded. Thanks for the feedback toasty, I think I will keep it. I don't buy anything for the brand name. I am 6'5" and it's hard to find quality knits or outerwear that fit. I have a lot of SNS Herning because it fits so well. I was looking for other suggestions for long...
