    Canada Goose

     The Mountain Hardwear Downtown parka has a similar look and has no outside logos at all that I can find. I have not lived w/ a CG, so can't compare, but the Downtown is certainly quite warm. The hood is also warm, but has no fur (which I prefer). I picked one up new for $130 over the...

    Where do you buy your polo shirts?

    Who does polos well (lately)? Golfers. RLX, Adidas, Nike, Puma. I also like Burberry, although you have to pay $125 for a $10 shirt. Lands' End aren't bad either.

    A question about vests

    ^ I was thinking more along the lines of hillbilly chique casual.

    A question about vests

    The key is to wear the vest with nothing underneath.

    Canada Goose

    The Bloomingdale's at 1000 3rd Ave Manhattan has CG at 25% off. Lots of Chilliwacks, lots of black and navy, size L, XL, and a few XS. Not many S or M, so not that helpful to me. Some other models, as well. They had about 2 dozen coats as of about 2 weeks ago. Neglected to post at the time...

    Please help me with my wardrobe

    Since you are just getting started, you will go crazy trying to do everything at once. I suggest starting simple. First, find a pair of jeans that fit. Dark wash denim can be dressed up pretty well. OK, there's a million choices, so I'll narrow it down. Start with Levi's. They're...

    How to get a suit that fits well for under 700-800?

    Unfortunately, in that price range, it's trial and error, keep trying different brands, find something close, then find a good tailor. It can be done.

    Canada Goose

    Here's a CG Ontario, black, XL on sale locally for $555.99 from $694.99, not much, but it's something: http://www.fontanasports.com/canada-goose-mens-ontario-parka-33163

    Canada Goose

    Most places, including Nordstrom, carry the Chilliwack and Expedition in black. I have also seen the Chilliwack in red, the Burnett in gray, and the Chateau in black. The CG website has 16 different coats, each available in 8-16 colors. I don't mind buying on-line and exchanging a few times...

    Canada Goose

    I think I want a Canada Goose, but they are hard to buy. Are there any stores in the USA or Canada carry a large stock? I see a lot of interesting stuff on the Canada Goose website, but can only find smatterings of Canada Goose here and there - usually a Chilliwack or Expedition, usually in...

    Canada Goose

     Jeze, I find it hard enough to find clothes that fit at 33" waist, 40" chest, so you have it that much harder. I hit Chicago last week, tried some stuff on. Here's what I found: CG Chilliwack, Borden, Freestyle Vest - Small fit me best. CG Burnett, Chateau - Med fit me best. Arc'Teryx Kappa -...

    Mr B's Blake boots vs Grenson Sharp/Fred

    Anyone have a quick & easy method for cleaning the white vibrams soles on the Grenson Fred?

    Canada Goose

    Jurre, I think the coat looks fine. The longer the coat is, the warmer it will be. However, if you think it makes you look shorter, then exchange it. It's an expensive purchase, so keep exchanging it until you are happy with something. My only caution would be that IMO, nobody ever looks...

    My fitness challenge.

    Good luck with your weight loss. My bit of advice would be - use the Internet and get a lot of opinions about diet. Lots of experts disagree. The eating regimen you posted is not "terrible." It is imperfect, but not terrible. In fact, I would say it is better than average for someone who...

    [Article] How to locate a great hairstylist in your city?

    Two methods I can think of. 1.) If you see someone with a good haircut, ask them who cuts their hair. 2.) Keep trying stylists until you find someone you're happy with.

    Canada Goose

    Altrec is a legitimate retailer of outdoor products. Highly doubt they would sell unauthentic goods. The 50% discount offered by DJ Bennett is about the best I've ever heard of - jump on it.

    Losing belly fat

    I keep going back to the OP's initial question. He needs to lose 30 pounds in 4 months. There is what he should do, and there is what he has to do. He SHOULD eat healthy, weight train, avoid certain foods, etc. He HAS to run a calorie deficit. Low GI foods will help him feel full longer and...

    Slim Chinos & Slacks

    If you're quite slim, the Dockers D1 work well. If those are too tight, try the D2. They're about $40 per. Those will buy you time if you want to search for higher quality slacks.

    Losing belly fat

    4 months = 17 weeks = 2 pounds/week. You need to run a 1,000 calorie deficit per day. If you can do it, you'll lose 34 pounds in 17 weeks. You work 100 hours per week, so you won't be able to exercise it off, you'll have to diet it off. Ideally, you would do both, but if you had to choose...

    Penhaligon's Hammam Bouquet or Chanel Antaeus? Reading "THE PREFECT GENTLEMAN", by James Sherwood

     I usually pay for my samples, since I have a bad track record of actually purchasing anything, I hate to impose. But you actually bought a bottle from Nordstrom's, so you can ask for samples guilt-free. Fun thing to get a bunch of samples in, enjoy.
