    Morning coat after 6pm for formal wear?

    You should definitely wear white gloves with white tie, at least while dancing. One does not want to soil one's partner's dress, nor inadvertently press flesh to flesh! You can take the gloves off for eating.

    Informal Poll: brought on by the rash of tuxedo questions

    The midnight blue one I own is shawl collar, one button, of course, which I wear with cummerbund, but I also have a white double breasted shawl collar dinner jacket, which I wear with neither vest nor cummerbund. When I replace the worn out peak lapel single breasted, I will undoubtedly wear it...

    Hot Cross Buns

    We've certainly got them in DC. I can also speak for New York and Boston. And I am assuming we are not talking about excessively warm, angry rabbits, chocolate or otherwise.

    Height

    Six feet, two inches, the perfect height, though the world often seems to have been made for much smaller people.

    What did you wear in high school?

    Uniform. In the late 1960's at my high school that meant black pants, white or blue shirt, navy blazer, blue and gold striped tie, black socks and shoes. But that changed radically as we rushed headlong toward the 1970's. We were allowed to wear other sorts of ties, first. Then it degenerated...

    Anyone wearing green today?

    I've got on a dark green shirt, black with gold vine pattern tie, green and brown tweed sportcoat with a pale gold pocket square, gray wool trousers, brown shoes. I don't think I would wear a bright green tie, however. Oh, and I am at least in part Irish, in spite of the name. My paternal...

    Hair, swimming in pool

    No, not even goggles. While we're on the subject, other than temporary irritation the chlorine will not damage my eyes, right? I have found no scientific evidence that pool chlorine will damage your eyes, but I wear goggles anyway. I don't need the irritation.

    Hair, swimming in pool

    I swim regularly as part of my exercise routine, and that is what happens to me. And I have rather oily hair. I just use conditioner each time I wash the chlorine out of my hair.

    6 pack

    Question for Joseph Casazza: Generally speaking, do you believe that as one ages, one requires less calories? Generally, yes, you require fewer calories as you age. Your metabolism does slow down. At 21, I weighed about as much as I do now, but I consumed a lot more calories worth of food every...

    6 pack

    There is far too much variability among human beings to say that "everyone" can develop a particular physical "look". At 53, I have 10% body fat, and I maintain this with weights and by swimming. But I am also 6'2" and 155 lbs, and I have just never had the kind of...

    Air Travel

    Change in the lavatory on an airplane? What airline do you fly on where that is possible? There is barely room for me to stand up in the lavatory, and I am only a skinny 6' 2", 155 lbs. I have no idea how really large people manage to use them at all. I can't imagine actually changing...
