    Blazer Buttons - Shanked?

    Should a blazer necessarily have shanked buttons? Or does it matter? Heading into the garment district in NYC to see sort of options I can find.

    Home Pet Burial

    Unfortunately, my ex just had to have her beloved cat Lizzie put down. Quite a shock since she was healthy and vital a week ago. She'd prefer to bury her at home in the backyard, so we checked with the city and they have no regulations prohibiting it on private property, nor regarding how it...

    Jantzen: Copying an OTR?

    I want to try Jantzen, and I have a couple of OTR shirts that fit quite well, so I was wondering if instead of having my measurements taken, I wouldn't have the best chance of a good fit by just sending them a shirt so they can copy the cut, and then just specify what fabric and other details I...

    crotch wrinkles defy drycleaning?

    I just got a pair of gabardine slacks back from the drycleaner and happened to notice that I could still see some evidence of wrinkling in the crotch area; you know, the normal wrinkling you get from sitting down (not in the forward, visible part of the crotch, more the inseam area). It's not...

    Fused/Canvassed?

    Honestly, I purchased my first canvassed jacket just a few months ago, and while it's lovely and was quite a steal, I think my own personal frugality would keep me from indulging on a regular basis. I've only rarely experienced the problems traditionally associated with fusing, and then only...

    Any Livarot Fans? (cheese)

    I wasn't familiar with it, and bought it on a whim. In retrospect, don't know how, but it wasn't until it had been in my work fridge for a few days that I noticed its... distinctive odor (let's just say that even when still fully wrapped and sealed, the cheese smells as though it had already...

    Nick Hilton: What's Up With That Stuff?

    I came across a Nick Hilton blazer today, and pardon my ignorance, but not being much of a shopper, he's not a designer I'm familiar with. Anyway, the blazer was unlined and had no buttons on the sleeves (nor did I find them in the pockets or anything). Unlined jackets I've seen before, but I...

    Looking For Boots Like This

    I desperately need to replace these old, much-abused Cole-Haans, but I haven't been able find anything similar: more rugged than a chelsea, but sleeker than a Timberland, and without the thick treaded sole and big rounded steel-reinforced toe you get with those kinds of real workboots. Please...

    Flower Deliveries: She Tips?

    It occurred to me recently that it doesn't seem quite right that if you send a woman flowers, she's the one who ends up tipping the delivery guy. And since it's usually (sort of) unexpected, she could easily get caught in a situation where she doesn't happen to have any smaller bills handy, or...

    Converting a 6x1 DB to 6x2?

    I don't really like the look of a 6x1 any more, but I was reluctant to trash this otherwise perfectly good old tux, so I thought I'd try to have it converted. I think it worked out pretty well! Thoughts? I know my collar isn't sitting properly, but I think that's from trying to sprint back into...

    Manicures

    I'd like to find a place to get a simple regular manicure, but all the places I see or have ever used cater primarily to women, so I always feel a little conspicuous and uncomfortable getting my manicures in these places. I end up doing it myself most of the time, but I would rather not have...

    Supporting StyleForum

    Okay, I guess I'm late to the party, so pardon my ignorance: Do I understand this correctly? As long as I go through these links to make my purchases as opposed to typing the sites into my browser or going through my usual Favorites, the vendor gives styleforum a cut? Sounds pretty cool, but...

    What Questions Can You Ask To Judge A Tailor's Skill Level?

    Often when I'm walking around NYC, I see some little hole-in-the-wall tailoring shop and wonder whether it might be some undiscovered gem of a resource. I'd like to go into a few of these places and try get a sense of their general skill level without offering up some garment and finding out...

    For David Brent Fans...

    This is Part One of a humorous short that Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant produced for Microsoft UK. Warning: it's about 15 minutes or so. And here's Part Two -- I haven't watched it yet; I assume it's about the same length. There are outtakes after the credits.
