    Poor man's watch thread

    This is my first watch. I'm only 21 and on a very tight budget, but haters can hate. I think it looks very nice for $72, and from what I've heard it will last quite awhile with Seiko's in house movement. Quite elegant actually.

    Braces - Button Placement

    I prefer outside brace buttons, front and back. I'm considering trying this on my next suit...

    Braces - Button Placement

    I normally just sew straight through the fabric, from the out to the in, and place all my buttons on the inside. Is this the consensus here on SF? It makes sense to me, but I've had a tailor put them on and not go through the outer layer.

    Quick Question About Mixing Spirits

    Bourbon.

    Evan Williams single barrel is a superb bourbon and a bargain, superior to others Ive paid several times as much for. Makes a great old fashioned, although I generally go for rye these days otherwise. High West makes a great rye. If its hot out, a cube of ice from distilled water is best...

    DC Attire

    Thanks everyone, I'll keep your comments in mind. Thoughts about colors? Here in LA it is pretty casual; people wear whatever they want regardless of the season, formality of setting, etc. Suits in colors other than gray/black/navy? Shirts in colors other than white/blue? Braces...

    DC Attire

    I'm a Los Angeles native doing a paid research internship for 5 months this Spring in DC at a well known think tank. Its business attire during the week (suit and tie). Will have to get a new suit or two, maybe another pair of Allen Edmonds, probably some kind of winter wear.Any general advice...
