    A brief survey to help with my final major project at college.

    As a statistician, I'm always glad to do a survey. However, this one made me cringe. Bad question design leads to bad answers leads to bad output.

    How to wear a Bowtie Casually?

    I'd stay away from bright colors or gaudy patterns. A simple polkda dot or striped bowtie looks good with a button down. Repeating Barims, roll up the sleeves to increase the casual look. A brown wool sportscoat and dark toned tie will give you the "professor" look.

    I'm in the opening act for a Cthulhu silent movie

    Well, if it's fun, I'd go full blown three piece suits with top hats. Lovecraft was a well known Anglophile, and he often echoed Victorian attitudes in his works. If a black guy is in the group, dress him up like slave-cult member for authenticity. If you have an octopus in the group...well...

    Next vacation Europe or Asia?

    It depends on what you're looking for. Asia tends to be cheaper, warmer, and offers a lot more debauchery. Europe on the other hand offers astounding architecture, history, and water that is potable. Honestly, I'd recommended Europe. Transportation between countries is extremely easy, most...

    Tom Ford self-tie bow tie n00b question...

    Yeah, I've seen those types of bowties popping up a lot recently. They usually come pretied with a that metal clasp in the back. They're for people who want the style of the self tie, but don't want to learn how. I'd honestly take it back, bowties are usually sold untied handing on a rack, like...

    Taking in shirts @ the tailor

    Attending a Wedding in the Bahamas in April

    A tan linen suit would be great. Just don't go for white linen, the bride might not appreciate it.

    mink coat for a man

    Well, its definitely not for everyday...but it does give you a Russian billionaire look.

    How far from a belt/hip should a vest be?

    I recently picked up a three piece suit at a second hand store. ($20, and it's pin strips are the exact color of the tie I was wearing at the moment) I really like the vest that came with it, and it's a light brown that looks good with jeans, but I'm afraid it might be a little too high. I...

    Living Alone.

    I'm out of college on my own for about two years now. $1600 a month in rent!? I guess in a really cosmopolitan area, but that is a pretty high amount. I agree with those that say rent, don't buy. Renting comes with the benefit of being able to walk away when you need to, also you don't have to...

    What type hat for my head shape?

    Thanks again for all the suggestions. I don't live in the most cosmopolitan area, but I did go to local suit store. They mainly had gaudy, polyester men's suits but they did have a selection of hats. I tried on the bowler, and liked it. I think I like something closer to my head, but the...

    What type hat for my head shape?

    For my entire life I've had a phobia of hats. I've never been able to find one that I think fits my face. Can anyone recommend styles, I would love to finally have something to keep my head warm on these winter days!
