    Do you covet certain items of clothing and then lose interest once you buy them?

    much like women Yeah, I was going to add that. Only with women (some of them, anyway), once I've fucked them I wonder why I was attracted in the first place. With clothes, I still like them. But the fever's broken and I'm no longer obsessed -- with that item.

    Whole Foods + Hot Girls = Epic Win?

    Despite their ridiculously high prices for stuff that isn't great enough to justify them and the fact that a lot of douchebags work there, I find myself going to Whole Foods a lot because the number of hot chicks that are always there is mind-blowing. Or is that just a NoVA thing? For those of...

    Do you covet certain items of clothing and then lose interest once you buy them?

    Because you're off coveting something else that you now can't live without? At any time, I have an item or two of clothing or shoes I'm jonesing to buy. Right now it's a pair of 6-inch lace-up boots. I've convinced myself that once I acquire the perfect pair, my need for additional shoes is...

    Private High School to college

    Thanks for that response... I didn't mean it as being pretentious. I said it figuring that people in the forum would understand the different private school clothing style between it and other privates. It's extremely different. BTW.... alot of kids go to PE on scholarship, me being one of...

    Best and Worst Experiences With The Quality of An Item

    I have 4-5 pairs of shoes/boots from the old New & Lingwood (before the South Africans or wherever they were from, bought them) that are at least 25 years old and going strong. Shoe trees, new soles/heels as needed and regular application of leather condition and I expect them to last me another...

    Boots made by Russell Moccasin Company -- experiences

    I just returned from a week of wandering around Scotland's Northern Highlands. I wore a pair of Russell's MacIntosh Birdshooters. Incredibly comfortable boots. This is the most I've worn them since I bought them nearly two years ago so I was still breaking them in. Not that they needed much...

    lightweight harness/engineer boots?

    I think if you went after something w/ a crepe sole it might be a bit better. I was eying these engineers from Red Wing for a while: RW engineer boots Those soles are so wrong. Completely ruin the boots for me. On the other hand, if I worked around water/downed power lines, I'd probably...

    any way to pull off white driving shoes with shorts

    White driving shoes and shorts -- add a pair of knee-high socks and you'll look like a Cadillac-driving geezer in Boca Raton. Someone who goes out to eat at 5:30 in the afternoon. Not sure this is a look you want to attempt. Sorry.

    Match.com

    Are their actually good looking women on these sites? I've always figured they're full of girls who don't get asked out enough in real life. You'd be surprised. A few years back, when I was single, I was meeting the hottest women on dating sites. All of them claimed that the men they were...

    My shoe rotation and handmade bespoke Burmese teak wood shoe cabinet

    Spring Cleaning, May I suggest you use edge dressing? As impressive as your display case and its contents are, the whole effect is ruined when I see the scuffed edges of the soles. Kinda like admiring someone's Ferrari and seeing pigeon **** on the hood.

    Avoiding Looking too preppy...

    The prep look means Brooks Brothers/J.Press/Ralph Lauren clothes worn in a ****-you way. (Unless you've been to prep school, you'll never learn to read the markers of preppy authenticity -- who's the real thing and who's just trying to look like one.) Nothing about nice pants, dress shoes and a...

    pre-ground coffee

    i am me, and therefore cheap. also, I drink coffee as a result of a caffeine addiction, not necessarily because of flavor/et cetera. I enjoy it, don't get me wrong, but I am not a coffee conneiseur by any means. [snip]Like I said, I don't know a damn thing about coffee. So because you don't...

    John Conner's New Boots From Terminator

    The boots scream "I'm a security guard at the mall who is too fat and out of shape to make it as a cop or soldier. So I'm going to dress up like a hardass."

    Black Lace-Up boots...

    TDV, is the bottom pair the redwing gentleman traveler?

    Grey or Heather Grey Undershirts?

    Visible T-Shirt under a button-up is a bad look. Makes you look like a little kid. I always go with a V-neck. Likewise. Whenever I see an adult man wearing an open shirt so the top of his crew neck t-shirt is visible, I think he's still dressing like a little boy.

    What do you think about Mens wherhouse (non suits)

    MW is for blue-collar men who need a suit in order to be properly dressed for a court appearance or funeral. Or for men who are on the absolute bottom-rung of management -- where wearing a tie with a short-sleeved dress is acceptable, indeed, expected. Like, say, an assistant manager at a...

    Nice Article on Brooks Brothers

    Nice article. But I have enough independent knowledge to recognize several factual errors. Which makes me wonder how many more errors did he make that I didn't catch?

    What is the suit size/male build that allows men's clothes to look their best?

    I gather it differs with different designers, but what suit size do they have in mind as an ideal? Or do they design more for an average body closer to what their customers look like?

    The Fall of The Black Wingtip

    I was born in 1961 and as far back as I can remember the black wingtip was the one shoe all men seemed to reach for when they got dressed up. First, I'm the same generation as you and I think you are grossly overstating how many men wore black wingtips when we were kids and later. Do you think...

    "Designer" Facial Products: Worth it?

    Every derm doc I've ever had (three in three different cities) swears by Cetaphil products. Must be some obscure federal law that requires them to recommend this brand. They all say that using pretty much moisturizer and sunscreen, you're already ahead of 95% of the male population. If you like...
