    the world's about to end... you're in the middle of shaving.. what do you wear?

    Nothing. I might as well go out the way I came in.

    Who makes the world's best bedsheets?

    Horns--I've been in the market for some linen sheets. Do you have any specific brands that you recommend? Thanks in advance!

    Just can't get myself to wear (soil/tarnish) the new Darltons..

    I know I've seen some pics of well worn Darltons with an amazing patina--if anyone has them please post. My favorite pair of shoes (Alden tan calf longwings) have gone through two resoles and have never looked better in my opinion...

    To Tailor or To Sell

    +1 for sell. Even with a great tailor it'd be hard to get it perfect, and for someone your size those lapels will, in my opinion, always look a bit big. Would be a sweet coat for the right guy though!

    .....

    Move on--you deserve better than this. If something or someone is really important, you might cancel on them once due to unforseen circumstances (**** happens) but twice in two dates is a trend, and you should want no part of this. Who is too tired after working until 6 to go on a date with...

    Outright lies about education

    I worked for a number of years at a top management consulting firm (one of MBB) and we recruited heavily at top undergrad schools and occasionally caught people in lies, but one story stood out. Right after having lunch, a good friend of mine (who was 6 months away from making Partner) was...

    Most annoying style-related adjectives / phrases?

    "_______ is the new black." Fortunately it is most commonly heard in women's clothing, but whenever a designer says that "black is the new black" I wretch particularly hard.

    Any Subway Franchisees Here?

    I own a Cold Stone Franchise. I seriously work there about 77 hours a week, not including Saturdays and Fridays. While these hours suck, if his Cold Stone is like most ice cream shoppes, I'm guessing he enjoys some other perks like working with college age women which might make up some of the...

    Resolable shoes

    I can highly recommend B. Nelson in NYC for this type of work as they've resoled some AEs for me with excellent results (and used better than OEM soles...Redenbach is so much more durable) and reasonable prices. They'd do a great job on your AEs or Florsheims. http://www.bnelsonshoes.com/

    I broke up with my gf (general breakup thread)

    The crazy girl tried to kill herself today. Over dosed on her anti depressants. Don't really know what to do. I went to the hospital to see her and she wants to go on holiday. I have the money and everything, but I don't know if its a good idea. Not to be the "mean guy" here but a holiday...

    Help me pick out my first pair of real dress shoes.

    Wingtips. When I bought my first pair I was positively shocked at how often I found myself reaching for them. Really a versatile shoe.

    Taking care of Black Leather Dress Shoes

    yeah the saphire is way too expensive. I am just a broke college student looking to find lesser expensive ones that can make my shoes look better. wouldn't the meltonian polish make my leather shoes shiny? My question was what kind of polish or cream would be best for my shoe as shown in the...

    Viccel.com socks

    how are you all drying your socks? I know some mentioned hang dry but there's no way I have the time or space available for that. The dryer has been my method so far but when they come out they look like girl's nylons. Instead of that nice "sock-like" appearance, the tube area is all shrivled up...

    Cool furniture, design objects and desiderata

    is 75$ for a 4 place setting + mugs/saucers set of dansk mesa stoneware a good price? Its in good condition used What a flashback. My parents had these and we'd use them for "special" occasions in the late 80s and early 90s. I wouldn't doubt they are still in their attic, although I'll be...

    Show off your watch thread

    Paging both BB1 and gdl203; I think this could be a decent thread, if only for the fact that there exists lines between watch aesthetics (MC watches, BB1?) and the clothes that you wear with them. (what kind of watches do goth ninjas wear?) I wear one of these (bought when I thought I was gonna...

    Adventures in sobriety

    As someone who has been sober for almost three years now if I have one more recommendation of an essentially non-alcoholic drink (I thought it was then found out it has a few drops, hence the caveat): club soda and bitters with a wedge of lime. Looks like a mixed drink, has an interesting...

    Where did Johnston & Murphy go wrong?

    In the hierarchy of men's dress shoes in terms of quality it goes as follows: Florshiem > Bostonian > J&M > Allen-Edmonds > Alden I'd just like to echo what everyone else here said. I own a pair of made in the USA J&M from the early 1990s and they are superior to my AE and roughly on par with...

    Polishing Shoe Bottoms

    I'll agree with everyone above that polishing your soles is crazy. Having said that, in winter I have two pairs of older and cheaper leather soled shoes that I tend to wear around on days that are less than ideal (a bit damp, etc) and they get exposed to salt/sand/other nastiness. On those...
