    Where do you all live?

    I am a native Pacific NWsterner,born in Portland,Oregon,and currently living in Seattle,Washington. Also spent 6 & 1/2 of my formative years in the midwest--St.Louis,Missouri. The gray NW Autumns and Winters are quite conducive to spending time inside,thumbing through L'Uomo Vogue or the...

    Pomade, wax, lotion, fiber, etc. - what's what

    While we're on this subject, I was wondering if anyone could recommend hair care products for someone with fine hair. Because my hair is also somewhat thin,I keep my hair trimmed fairly short. I've been using gel,but have heard  "that's SO 80's." Plus,while gel gives me the hold I want,it also...

    Most innovative menswear designers?

    Gentlemen, Given the massive consolidation of designer houses,and the consequent pressure for profitability-as demonstated by the increasing number of diffusion lines,with varying degrees of craftsmanship-there seems to be a lack of truly exciting,innovative,and well made menswear these days...

    Cashmere sweaters

    GQ Geek, Thank you for the in-depth info on cashmere. As a younger man,I was given a beautiful dark teal w/gray trim v-neck cashmere sweater;softest one I'd ever owned. Alas,I outgrew it. With any luck,I'll be able to find a replacement that isn't too extraordinarily expensive.

    Automatic vs. quartz

    Much of the difference in price among quality timepieces is,besides the marquee,the craftsmanship that went into building the movement,plus whether the case and bezel are made of precious metals. Omega is known for being one of the world's greatest producers of COSC certified chronometers,a...

    Brioni

    What difference,if any,is there between Brioni,and other brands like Kiton or Oxxford? I noticed in the latest issue of the Robb Report ("Best of the Best"),Oxxford was ranked #1,with Kiton getting an honorable mention. Because Brioni,Kiton,and Oxxford all are hand sewn,are the...

    Wing tip shoes

    I am probably in the minority,but I really like wingtips. I recently purchased a great pair of Florsheim Imperials(New Old Stock) on eBay at a fantastic reduced price. Made back when Florsheim still made quality dress shoes.Heck,I even own a pair of Spectators,and have been waiting for Memorial...

    Cowboy boots-are they back

    I actually own both shoes and boots in Stingray,and they're both remarkably comfortable-they were lined in soft leather(calfskin,I think).One concern is,since Stingray is so tough,it's much more difficult to work with,and some pieces appear to have been glued(securely)on,rather than sewn.Thus,it...

    Cowboy boots-are they back

    pstoller, You are not the only "strange" one who enjoys exotic leather cowboy boots.I posted a question a while back about exotic skin boot care that,unfortunately,didn't get much response. I own pairs in full alligator & lizard,and recently bought a pair of full python boots.I certainly aint no...

    Neckties>?

    My taste in neckties ranges from bold and colorful (Vitaliano Pancaldi),to more conservatively patterned,but nonetheless stunning (Ermenegildo Zegna and Robert Talbot Best Of Class & Seven-Fold ties),depending on the occasion,and my mood.
