Opinions on these Rimless Glasses
Heh. I am not. Half Vietnamese, born in California, I'm afraid. Wasn't aware they were seen as so distinctly German, though I suppose that makes sense, in a way. I think Silhouettes may be a bit more in style in the US, currently, but I don't really follow trends. Personally, I've been a little...- rip

Question on Leonard Ties
I love the quality and rich coloured prints. Unfortunately they don't tie a good dimple. Mine do. And a good price seems to be around $50 on Ebay.- rip

how bad is a tuxedo w/ long tie?
There's an edition of Deuteronomy that is quite explicit on that point. And, as with everything else in Deuteronomy, the punishment is stoning to death!- rip

Cotton Blazer, anyone?
Kohls has unstructured 3-button cotton blazers on sale right now for $10! I've seen them in khaki, navy and olive. Also, for about $20, they have safari-style jackets with working sleeve buttons (I can pretend it's bespoke )- rip

What to wear if you're unattractive
I have been wondering lately if it is worth trying to dress nice if you belong to the so-called genetic lower class. I pose this question particularly to those currently attending a university. Reguardless of your success in academics, or how fit or wealthy you may be; is there purpose in...- rip

Travel Bag Suggestions
The Col. Littleton No. 1 Grip looks pretty nice, more to my liking than an LV, but to each his own: A fairly important rule of travel is that the bag shouldn't weigh more than the contents of the bag, and with all the brass fittings on this bag, it's got to weigh a ton, empty! RE: the Louis...- rip

Why hate the navy blazer?
The blazer seems to have gotten its name from the early wearers who's odd jackets had stripes and their club's loud colors on them. The jackets started to become so bright with colors that they earned the name "blazer". That's only one of a half-dozen or so different stories of the name...- rip

Oxxford Opportunity
It's likely that a good re-weaver can mend the area invisibly for you. Not knowing exactly where the problem area is and what donor cloth is available, I can't speak more definitely. Are you feeling lucky? _________________________ Reweaving ain't cheap! I can't tell what size the damaged area...- rip

I am a marketer's nightmare and am not some curmudgeon; in fact, I am probably younger than you are. Curmudgeonry has nothing to do with age; I have been a curmudgeon since my teens.- rip

Rose gold watch-picture included
Good point. Two of the most celebrated, prestigious and expensive watchmakers in recent years aren't even Swiss: FP Journe of France and A Lange of Germany. The technical complexity, engineering precision and aesthetics far exceed comparable offerings from Patek, Breguet & Audemars, IMHO. Check...- rip

Has Anyone Noticed?
But a Zegna blazer I got on ebay and my Jantzen shirts, both nicer and better-made garments, seem to get less. Does anyone have a similar experience? Ah, yes, but you got it on Ebay. That explains everything!- rip

Sizing question, please help!
All, I just purchased a pair of Cole Haan Harrison cap toes, very nice price of $99 for a goodyear welted calf leather shoe. that said, I'm curious about the fit. The toe is on the pointy side, so my largest toe is about an inch from the end. I have a bit of heal slip, but nothing excessive...- rip

Tie care
If you're going to toss it, try wetting the whole thing down (just the outer silk) and letting it dry. I did that once with an expensive Davidoff tie that someone (me) had just spilled a half-glass of red wine on. The tie was a wonderful golden yellow, with periwinkle and red occasional dots and...- rip

Ebay Seller's Problem - Advice?
Yeah, but I would feel it's bad karma to keep the shirts and only send back a partial refund. He was nice enough about the whole thing, and stated that he is out $22 on shipping charges (though I am out about $30 for ebay fees). I'd rather have these amazing shirts go to someone who can wear...- rip

Suit jacket waist alterations.
How much should I expect to pay? I've got a couple of jackets here that are a little sack-y in the waist and could do with some taking in. And, now that I'm on the topic, where does the excess fabric get taken out - the side seams? Is there an upper limit? It usually costs me around $25 per...- rip

Anyone wearing green today?
Sorry, I just had it confirmed that the SHAMROCK has THREE leaves, not four (clover!)! This comes form an actual Irish person, not from an Irish decendent. Lá breÃthe Padraig! Absolutely. St. Padraic himself often used the shamrock to described the Holy Trinity.- rip

Yup... Oxxford navy twill blazer atop BB cavalry twill dark khaki trousers, BB royal blue/navy candy stripe shirt, modified spread collar (I believe Brooks calls it the Ainsley), with an emerald green/tan/blue scarf print Rando KiiK tie I picked up in Prague last year. Also a blue pocket square...- rip
