    Forum feels clogged

    Greetings all. I haven't been around here in a very long time. I decided to stop by and see how things are getting on. All I can see for the first few pages are threads that are years old and hundreds of pages long. I know repeatedly answering the same questions was annoying to some...

    Oblivious / Lordofpi 2.0

    Well, I have analyzed the lack of response here and drawn some conclusions: (1a) Regardless of my situation, I should just keep lurking until I feel inspired. (1b) My thread started here is just way too premature. I am eager to get back into the midst of things, but I just don't have much to...

    Oblivious / Lordofpi 2.0

    Hi all. Long time SFer from the other side of the fence in Men's Clothing. I apologize in advance for the rambling. Since I was a kid, I was always an admirer of higher end men's wear. In high school, I was already working in professional fields, and I eventually moved into an executive...

    How do your suits hang in the closet?

    As I wear a suit 6 days out of 7, my suits get very frequent usage -- even with as many as I have. Sealing them up is just not practical. Perhaps if I had 2-3 suits that got worn 2-3 times per year, I would go that route for preservation's sake. To me, it would just be an extra 60 seconds in the...

    Blazers out on the town

    your mental image of a blazer is far too diluted you realize they make blazers out of just about every material possible right? there are more than just mad men Haha, well put and point taken. I can see this then. All I had in mind is...well...you already said that.

    Blazers out on the town

    I know I really don't belong over on this forum , but I had to throw in my $0.02. IMHO if you feel the need to wear a blazer, why feel the need for jeans? It just feels like the same concept behind the mullet: combining refined business with partay -- does not stand the test of time.

    To Walk or Not to Walk a Fashion Tradeshow

    The rise or fall documentary!! Do I smell a Style Forum sponsorship???? Could be time to take this baby public. I smell IPO! Boy, I haven't heard that term in a while. Do you have any claim to intellectual property with this stuff? It's tough to patent a clothing design, I would imagine, but...

    Wallet vs. Card Case (front pocket question)

    Rubberband, rubberband, rubberband! Wrap your currency longwise around your cards/ID, slap a rubberband around the whole pack, and voila: the slimmest way to carry. Also, only carry hundred dollar bills to save space.

    Light grey wedding suit

    Morning dress is casual Indeed; had he said formal, I am sure we would have leapt to the mandates of the frock coat or -- if more serious -- pre-Bastille French court dress.

    How often do you wear a hat with your outfits?

    Early top hats were incredibly hard and worn on horseback for just this purpose. Yes, probably the original Coke hat which, to my understanding, had a string in the back attaching itself to one's jacket somehow. I'm sure this could be retrofitted.

    Santoni Limited Edition (handmade)

    That sounds rather inexpensive for a limited edition handmade! Are you sure they are FAM and not just a bench-made limited edition? It would be cheaper for me to fly there and buy a bunch than to purchase them here in NJ.

    Does Flusser ever Look Good?

    ^Completely different--the stripes on the ties go in opposite directions. He could use the Glennie knot to solve this problem...

    apparently, I am hypoglycemic.

    I'm not an endocrinologist (or even used to US units) but I'm also thinking that a reading of 15mg/dL does seem too low to remain asymptomatic. Well, to put it in perspective, 15 mg/dl of glucose is equal to 0.83 mmol/L -- terrifyingly low!
