    Inseam length question for style historians

    So, I was watching an excessive amount of television and movies from the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s this weekend and noticed that trouser inseams, until the mid 1960s, seemed to have no break. Indeed, the pants often had an inch or more between the hem and the top of the shoe heel. I was wondering...

    Fruit flies and Manhattans

    So, I am in a bar in an airport in Florida and I order a Manhattan up. I get about 2/3 of the way through before I discover two fruit flies (dead and presumably feeling no pain while drowning). The waiter is appropriately apologetic. He and the bartender investigate and discover that the fruit...

    PSA- For NYC folk only - Grensons

    There is a small shoe repair place on 21st St. just off 1st Avenue. The owner is selling a pair of the Grenson's Stuart Choice black whole cuts, size 9, for $230.00. They are brand new. He indicated he has a couple of other pairs of high end new shoes he is trying to off load very cheap. IMHO...

    I own a vintage shooting stick. It has begun to show its years (worn leather seat, etc.) and I would like to refurbish. Any recommendations of a place (preferably in NYC) that does that work? As always, thank you very much.

    Question re: the BB brown cord suit

    Those of us around for more than a cup of coffee remember the feeding frenzy over the 2004 model BB brown cord suits sold at heavy discount through the outlets. The suits were thin wale, Loro Piano fabric made in Italy, 3 button, double vented with ticket pocket. In any event, after waiting...

    Question about 212 Area Code

    Good morning. I have two land-lines with a 212 area code. I am interested in getting rid of one -- possibly both. So, two questions: 1. Can I transfer the land line to a cell phone? 2. If not, is there any way to sell the phone number? I hear tell that 212 area codes are considered to be of...

    Free shoes - Size 8

    These are Donald J. Pliner 5 eyelet bicycles in a lighter brown. Not Lobb's, but not Kenneth Coles either. Bought at DSW. Worn twice for a brief period of time as a I tried to break them in. Unfortunately for me, my commitment to marathoning has caused me to not be able to comfortably wear...

    Free H-F blue blazer - 42R

    This is a very traditional blue blazer, two brass buttons, center-vent, fully canvassed (I think). Here's the deal: 1. Fits a 42R whose waist is closer to his chest size or who likes room in the waist. Of course, could be taken in. Sleeves are about 24" with room to lengthen. 2. As far as I...

    Amusing litte Jantzen QC problem

    So, I recently had made three FC shirts. Really liked the fit and fabrics. Took out the last one to wear today and discovered that they had forgot to make cufflink holes on the cuff of one of the sleeves. Of course, I can get a tailor to put in the holes very easily, but it is an amusing...

    Cheap Crockett & Jones

    Here is the deal - I have two pairs of C&J shoes. Both are size 8 (UK). Both have been worn, by me, but not a lot. One is a brown suede and the other is a lighter brown cordovan. The suede have been worn a bit, the cordovan less so. I will let them go cheap, but these are the terms: 1. I...

    Thrifting and insects cautionary

    Twice recently while I have been thrifting in NYC, once on 23rd Street and once on lower 2nd Avenue, I have discovered an insect crawling on an item of clothing I was examining. In the most recent incident, it looked an awful lot like a bedbug. Clearly, importing a bedbug into the home would not...

    Free Asprey trenchcoat ~44R - 44L

    This was another purchase that has not worked out. It is just too big. I really, really like, but I simply feel as if I am a kid wearng dad's clothes with it on. Basically, it is an unworn beige, cotton, 3 season trench-style rain coat. I think it would work if you normally wear a 44 and could...
