    Fancy Chinese liquor

    I'll be in Beijing for business in a few weeks, what liquor can/should I try? Solid imitations of Western styles (whisky, calvados, rum etc.) are good too, it doesn't have to be authentic or traditionally Chinese. FWIW I really, really liked the Amrut Fusion whisky I got when I was in Bangalore...

    Dressing for business in China

    We had a thread a while ago about how to dress when on business in India. What about China? I've got a week-long trip to Shanghai coming up in late October. What should I wear to be taken seriously and avoid confusing people as to who I am, how important I am etc? I work in IT for a large...

    Proof that clothes do NOT make the man

    Can't argue with this. Details, correct style, beauty and elegance - what truly "marks you as a gentleman of taste and fashion", indeed.

    When peacocking fails

    The Devil's Friend Wears A Bright Red Cummerbund

    Just passing this short guide to buying a tux along for the humor value: http://www.stephenesque.org/2011/03/...-a-tuxedo.html It's all very true, especially the part about the cummerbund manufacturing process.

    A good description of BR customers

    From a rant about wearing shorts found on a sports website, this very true quote: "Oh, what's that? Linen pants are breathable? Oh hey, that's great! Let me just plunk down $200 for a pair at Banana Republic, because that's totally within my price range. Organic fabric only for me! Oh, and...

    I'm in the opening act for a Cthulhu silent movie

    What to wear? My band is opening for one of my old bands tomorrow, and it turns out they'll be playing with a 2005 Cthulhu slient movie projected on the wall behind them. So, we decided to wear something pre-war-looking to match the occasion. So... what would you wear for this? Throw out some...

    Ed Hardy is over, here is your savior

    With Ed Hardy not cool anymore, it's time to move on. http://sports.yahoo.com/soccer/blog/...urn=sow-328318 This sums it up:

    Fleece blazers - what the hell to wear with them?

    I picked up a fleece blazer on sale at Zara a couple months ago, and it's great for those times when I want to sorta fake being dressed up, but wave my arms around a lot. It won't wrinkle from all the arm-waving, and if I sweat like a pig I can throw it in the washing machine. Plus, it gets...

    Looking good in bad light

    All the poorly-lit, grainy photos posted around here made me realize that the occasions when it's most important to me to look good, the light is almost certainly dim and people are looking at me from some distance. What looks good in such circumstances? What doesn't work and should be avoided...

    The LOUDEST suit ever?

    What do wear for hanging out with girls half my age?

    I haven't seen any threads about this, though I tried searching. I'm in a band with two 18-year-old singers, and a guitarist who's about my age. We work together well but that age gap makes it kind of a challenge to look like a coherent unit, whether on stage, in photos or in videos. I know that...

    "We Fear No Foo" shirts

    An English football team has shirts made with "We Fear No Foo" embroidered on the back. 5000 shirts - that's a pretty big run. I didn't know Foo was so important to English football fans. That's right, they fear no Foo. http://www.thespoiler.co.uk/index.ph...a-team-hardman

    Don Cherry's jackets have competition

    This is Yuri da Cunha, a singer from Angola. I randomly ran across him looking for more songs in Portugese that one of my bands could play. And... wow, does the man own some loud jackets, but nothing like than, say, Deion Sanders or Don Cherry. Yup, with matching trousers, though SFers will...

    Exotic felt hats

    I'm looking for a new winter hat, and occasionally see some in buffalo felt, and even ran across kangaroo felt once. Are those suitable for rain and snow, or should I stick to the usual rabbit and rabbit/beaver blends? Are there any other exotic felts out there suitable for hats? The singer...

    A great T-shirt design tutorial

    This seems very useful. Design a shirt following these simple steps and never be mistaken for a middle-class person again! http://sparklepony.blogspot.com/2010...painfully.html

    Hats for warm rainy days

    I bike to work, and have been thinking about picking up a brimmed hat for rainy summer days, probably some sort of fedora. What kind of material should I go for that will not be too hot, keep the rain off my head, and won't end up all warped after it gets wet a few times? I've got decent felt...

    Which of these shirts to wear in a music video?

    One of my bands is shooting another video in a few weeks and need to look like a complete insufferable douchebag with horrible taste. I have several hideous shirts to choose from, but which one should I wear? One: Two: Three: Four: Five: Six: Seven: Eight: Nine: Ten...

    Giant, huge, humongous plaids

    I bet it's not gonna be SF-approved, but I'm seeing more and more plaid shirts with extremely large patterns and I kinda like them: Not to mention this... this thing, hahaha. Can't get much bigger or much louder! IMPORTANT NOTICE: No media files are hosted on these forums. By clicking...

    Getting an SC made from window drapes

    We know Don Cherry has his absurdly loud jackets made from window drape material. Someone here posted a documentary which had him shopping for cloth. I'd like to get something similar made up and I'm wondering if it's something any tailor could deal with, or if there are any types of window...
