    MEGA PEACOAT THREAD - 61 threads merged - all Peacoat questions HERE

    Does anyone know whether sterlingwear cuts their coats particularly different for children or women than they do for men? I'm 5'3", 125lb, 36 chest, 28" waist, and really short arms. I'd probably have to shorten the sleeves on a men's 34S, but might be able to wear a women's 10 or...

    Calling all LLBean Katahdin Iron Works Boots owners

    They have an unconditional lifetime satisfaction guarantee, so you could wear them for ten years and probably still successfully return them (it would be a dick move, though- these sorts of guarantees depend on people not abusing them). It's really up to you- I was ready to just accept these are...

    Amount of Milk One Should Consume

    1 gallon per week is just fine...that's a little more than a pint per day. Best if it is skim. You need the calcium if you are not eating much of other dairy products and you are cutting back on carbs. Skim's actually worse if you're cutting carbs, because of all the sugar. I drink a cup or two...

    Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion

    Does anybody know which boots are featured in this GQ feature (http://www.gq.com/style/wear-it-now/...tials#slide=11)? Anyone else notice that the Chippewa boot in the slideshow is an L.L. Bean Katahdin?

    Calling all LLBean Katahdin Iron Works Boots owners

    Just a heads-up about these: I was about to treat mine with Oberlauf's, when I realized that the left side of the left boot was split-grain, not full-grain leather (it's thinner, with a wrinklier outside and fuzzier inside). I asked LL bean about it and they told me that it's supposed to be...

    Calling all LLBean Katahdin Iron Works Boots owners

    If I don't really care about hitting a particular shade, but just want something dark with a red hue, would I be risking disaster by using some mahogany Fiebing's, then applying some Oberlauf's? Worst-case, would it just end up darker than I wanted...

    Calling all LLBean Katahdin Iron Works Boots owners

    I've been trying to decide between Katahdins and Red Wing GT's. I love the color of the cherry GT's, but the Katahdin's flatter, less-bulbous toe box and general profile look a lot better on my size 7 feet (they're more comfortable too). Is it possible to dye them a reddish color, kind of like...

    Number of Eggs One Should Consume

    Somewhere between zero and twelve, probably averaging around two or three. I don't get how you would set an upper limit on them.

    flannel/lumberjack/buffalo plaid

    I love uniqlo flannels- they're the best fit I've ever found in a shirt, and they come in a bunch of funky Japanese colors.

    What can you do in only 4 weeks?

    Protein Sparing Modified Fast. 1g/lb bodyweight protein, another 50g or so fat (for the essential amino acids), negligible carbs The protein keeps your muscles from atrophying, and the lack of carbs sends you into fat-burning ketosis. You can work out, too- it'll be tough at first, but your body...

    Meal plan for fat loss?

    Try eating a paleo diet for a few weeks. +1. You'll get buff, sleep like a rock, and never get hungry.

    Blues Dancing (and social dancing in general)

    What would be the easiest form of dance to learn for someone with two left feet, over 30 years old and with an allergy to country music? Swing's a good call, but East Coast gets boring fast. Try to find a place that does Lindy Hop lessons; there's a lot more variety there. If the music for...

    Blues Dancing (and social dancing in general)

    It has been my experience that you will be at times the only guy there. The classes we take typically have two couples (us and another) and then another 4-6 women. If that other couple doesn't show, I'm the only guy aside from the instructor. Probably depends on the scene. Portland is hopping...

    Blues Dancing (and social dancing in general)

    Ive been thinking about taking some type of dance lessons, but I'm pondering the ratio of women to men. I don't want to end up in some hotdog cart.... The average social dance scene is girl-heavy, and knowing how to shake it is never a bad thing with the ladies.

    Blues Dancing (and social dancing in general)

    Anyone heard of it? I've been doing it for a few months in PDX, and it's a lot of fun. Really versatile, works with everything from muddy waters to Jay-Z, fuses great with other dances. I've yet to bring a friend out with any rhythmic ability that didn't get hooked. What it is...
