    What's with all the "Appreciation" threads?

    Never been a Sesame Street fan, couldn't tell ya. But judging by your avatar, I'd say perhaps you could tell me.

    Loro Piana Pilling?!!!

    That's a great-looking sweater. I've got a few Loro Piana cashmere zip-fronts like this, and never had a problem with piling. I'd agree with another poster that you might want to comb those out and give it a good hand-wash. And yes, it's fine to hand-wash wool and cashmere. Just be gentle...

    What are some high quality brands that are not very popular?

    Are you sure that you do take a good care of them? I am not a fan of BB, but I do have some items from BB that I like and they hold up quite well (1 cashmere sweater, 1 lambswool sweater, and shoes). Yeah, I took care of the sweaters. Never dry cleaned, never leaned on the shoulders...

    Non-tacky graphic tees

    Graphic tee's (and shirts) are like trucker caps. Only stylish to the dude wearing it, and perhaps a few of his frat buddies. There are a few exceptions of course, a better-quality dark unprinted t-shirt under a blazer can look really good in the right context (early fall, casual). But...

    Full Cashmere Overcoats, durable enough?

    Tomasso, I disagree about rain. I live in Seattle, perhaps one of the rainiest places in the US. My coat has seen plenty of the stuff. It's in great shape. Loro Piana StormSystem is fantastic material in the rain. Also, I don't understand the point of the quote you posted. Are you saying...

    What's with all the "Appreciation" threads?

    Context dude! If you want naked girls, dont come onto sf. Afterall, it is a forum about (albeit questionable) 'fashion'. I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. After all, there are very few things in life more wonderful than some sexy thang tied up with a Kiton 7-fold. Or some tattooed...

    Shoe Damage Report & Appreciation Central - Part I

    maomao - What an excellent collection. I've never understood (or liked) chukkas, but the rest of that collection is quite beautiful.

    Shoe Damage Report & Appreciation Central - Part I

    Cross post from the "Other" forum. Cheers Clint I want that pair of grey shoes on the left. AS Handgrade? Where did you find these? I think that's my next shoe purchase. Those are just... well... I'm not sure I can find the words.

    Recent Sartorialist Looks

    I'd bet that's the sweater rolling over his belt, not his stomach. Sorry to interrupt the evisceration...... But see, that's the whole point. How does that hotty he's having coffee with later know it's his belt and not his massive, sweaty, hairy gut? With that horrendous beard, that's what she...

    Full Cashmere Overcoats, durable enough?

    My Loro Piana Storm System overcoat has been fantastic and worn great. It's about 4 years old and looks new. Yes, I wear it in rainstorms, often without an umbrella. It laid crumpled in a ball in the bottom of my closet for about 6 months once before I realized it was down there. My...

    What's with all the "Appreciation" threads?

    Man, it's really starting to annoy me. I see the word "Appreciation" in a thread title, and I expect to see some naked hot chick holding a pair of Marteganis. When I excitedly click on the thread (wondering if maybe that hot chick will even be kinda "teen" looking), and only see a bunch of admittedly...

    What are some high quality brands that are not very popular?

    I can tell you what ISN'T quality: Brooks Brothers. I went on a Brooks Brothers kick for a while, bought a ton of their stuff - sweaters, suits, ties, cufflinks, shirts, etc. The only thing that lasted more than a year was the cufflinks and ties (their ties are only ok though). One of the...

    Recent Sartorialist Looks

    This dude is trying WAY too hard. Comes off like a wanna-be-nerd c-bag hipster, that doesn't yet realize that beards are SO 2001. Dude, seriously. Comb the food pieces out of that beaver pelt on your face, lose the goofy ugly bowtie (that blue is hideously fake), get on a stairmaster and lose...

    Shoe Rotation - How Often Do You Wear Each Pair?

    I like the older pair of Aldens better than the new ones, those look fantastic. They've really antiqued beautifully. Methinks I would wear those more often the new ones, at least when I'm out mixin' it up with the ladies. Man, now I'm starting to wonder if I shoulda bought the Aldens instead of...

    Should We Join A Country Club?

    I had a membership at the La Jolla Country Club (in San Diego) for a little while. It was quite a bit different than I had expected, and while I wouldn't say it was a bad experience, I'm not sure if I could say it was "worth it" or recommend it to friends. Many reasons for that - bland dress...

    Bentley v Rolls Royce

    Have you checked out the interior (especially rear seat ) of the LS460 yet? It's quite nice, as I said earlier, they had a fully loaded long wheelbase at the dealership where we take me wife's car. Needless to say (and I'm about to get flamed) some of the features were somewhat reminiscent of...

    Bentley v Rolls Royce

    ^^ Linux-Pro, I think I have a better understanding of what you're conveying, Toyota's build quality is almost second to none. They put a lot of emphasis behind their engineering and design. It's easy to understand, how their engines would be more reliable, however their materials used are often...
