    What CM "Basic" Do You Not Own?

    The Way They Wore: Images from the Past

    I am digging your commitment to aesthetics over politics :)

    The Way They Wore: Images from the Past

    I understand what you’re saying here, but it seems a little unfair. Perhaps Plimpton shouldn’t be valorized simply for representing his socioeconomic class, but perhaps this status should also not be held against him. I mean, we all have to be something, and it just so happened that Plimpton’s...

    Testify! Aside from appreciating all these looks, what stood out to me: no pocket squares.

    The Way They Wore: Images from the Past

    I’m a style philistine compared to the people on this board, but whenever I see oversized or drape-y coats, it makes me think of when my parents would take me to Burlington Coat Factory in the 80s to buy me a suit that voluminously enveloped and overwhelmed my small frame. I try to see past...

    The Way They Wore: Images from the Past

    But this is an egregious mis-fit on Hollande's part. Anyone can see that his outfit does not fit his body. I think Akihito looks pretty sharp here, but I don't think this fit is the be-all-end-all of CM. I don't fully like the way his pants kind of flood his shoes, for example. I'm curious...

    Friday Challenge - Connection

    I have to say, your sport coat is my ideal of what a casual jacket should be. I have one that's kind of like it (like you, I have great taste :)), but it's just not quite as cool as yours.

    How many pair of shoes do you currently own?

    I have 5 pairs of leather shoes, 2 pairs of boots. I'm thinking this will last me.

    SWD Discussion Thread for Tailoring

    I’m still getting used to SF people’s enthusiasm for pants that seem sized for a skateboarder in the 90s. I don’t think it’s particularly flattering on men, and especially not on short men.

    Let's Talk About Bookcore

    Yeah the first time I read the Brothers, when I was 19 and it was all exhilaratingly over my head, I keyed into the high philosophical/existential ideas: the Mutiny chapter, the Grand Inquisitor, Ivan's hallucinations, Alyosha's faith struggles. But now I understand that Mrs. Khokhlakova is an...

    Let's Talk About Bookcore

    Are you reading the Pavear and Volokhonsky translation? I rereread the Brothers just a couple years ago and stuck with David Macduff’s (Penguin) after reading surprisingly contentious debates about the merits of the P&V. On this reread, the Brothers seemed even more magnificent and much more...

    The Oxford-Shoe-Worn-Casually Appreciation Thread

    Younger people seem to be savvier and more worldly than we were (I’m gen. X and in my mid-forties). Even as teenagers, they know the names of all the cabinet members, the names of foreign leaders(!), the internet-driven political narratives. Obviously, a big thing is these kids never had a...

    What are you reading?

    For anyone who’s never read Bolano, I’d recommend Distant Star and By Night in Chile. Both are excellent slim (under 200 pages) works.

    Well I’m an advocate of color.
