    De Procrastinate Your Life !

    Today I was thinking that between X Box Live and Facebook, I must waffle away at least 4 hours every day. I therefore started thinking about lending out my X Box and my TV, to prevent me both playing games and then replacing that with watching movies. I'm also thinking about having 3 months...

    What is your annual spend on clothing?

    I hope this isn't too forward a question, but I thought it would be great to have an idea what everyone achieved on what budget, the idea being it would provide an idea of future budgeting/ career aspirations to meet a certain lifestyle. Obviously an annual clothes budget is also dependent on...

    Can you recommend a great, matte, everyday sunblock with high UVA protection?

    I used to use L'Oréal Paris Solar Expertise Anti-Wrinkle Moisturising Matte Fluid SPF 50+, but found it was usually available in the tinted variety (which makes me look like I'm wearing make up!) So I wondered if anyone can recommend an alternative please? It is to put on everyday, so before...

    Wardrobe inserts to prevent carpet beetles, moths and other beasties

    A friend had a recent bout of carpet beetles in their home, which we think came from a bird's nest in the loft. It was relatively easy to treat but did destroy some of her clothes beforehand! I wondered if you could recommend any wardrobe inserts as a preventative measure for such beasties as...

    What is the ideal age for a girl you date?

    I was thinking that as I get older I find 18 to 23 year olds or so more and more extremely hot. Having largely dated 20 to 22 year olds in the last few years (I'm 35) I'm well aware of the downsides - can be immature, get odd/jealous looks from others, they also have just started careers so are...

    Can anyone recommend a good online retailer with leather driving gloves like these? I'm looking to spend up to $100 or £60

    Different length of scarves for different clothing

    I wondered how you wore scarves with different clothing. With a sports coat I find a European knot or even a once around knot bulks up my neck and detracts from the silhouette with a jacket. Do you guys therefore buy shorter scarves for use with sports coats, so you can just drape it over the...

    Achieving a pressed crease in cord trousers

    My cords' label says to only iron the trousers inside out. I therefore wondered what the best way would be to achieve a centre pressed crease without compacting the cording too much. Is it ok to iron the cords inside out, but then correctly turned out just press the crease at the edge using a...

    Can leather gloves be altered?

    Specifically can the fingers be shortened a little, say 1/4 of an inch? The rest of the glove fits well. I dare say I should have bought some Chester Jeffries MTO ones instead though !

    "Try Change" glasses - glasses with interchangeable frames and arms

    I wondered if anyone had bought these and what they thought, or indeed if you could recommend other glasses that have interchangeable frames so you can have different colours and patterns for less cost. Thanks!

    Charles Tyrwhitt shoe quality

    I wondered as a modestly priced shoe, what the UK or otherwise guys made of CT shoes. Am I right they are made by Loake? Are they pretty much the equal to standard Loake and Loake 1880 depending on the price range? I'm particularly interested in them as they have G fittings (US E I believe -...

    Modestly priced medium grey cashmere scarf

    Does anyone know a good place online for such for a modest price of £40 or £50? I got a great fine herringbone one last year from Charles Tyrwhitt but alas they can't get it again this year... and I lost it on a rather hectic night out. Marks and Spencer do a reasonabllllle quality one for the...

    After how many wears to judge altering jeans

    I recently bought some indigo Levi 504s, and washed them twice before getting them shortened to allow for denim shrinking a little at first. They looked great but after a full day's wear looked less slim fitting and with a bit of stacking on the knee and at the shoe, rather than the single full...

    The Hunger (1983)

    I just watched this, having not seen it for 20 years (when I was 15) and thought it was fantastic. A brilliant horror and vampire film, that starts full of beautiful Blade runner visuals - smokey rooms, couture shoulder pads and beautiful people, and then flows into a captivating, erotic and...

    Tweed Sports coat critique

    I thought I'd start a new thread as the original purpose of navy SC plus jeans has changed. I wondered what you all thought of the following SC and jeans and cord combinations. Bear in mind the jackets are OTR and pre-alteration (and have labels on still!) so I'm looking for colour critique on...

    Shade of jeans with a navy blazer for smart casual

    I've not often wore jeans with a navy blazer, instead wearing stone trousers, so don't have much practice on shade of jeans. For a smarter look, is a colour match to the blazer, or slightly lighter, or slighter darker the best way to go?

    3 way dressing mirrors

    How many of you have one at home to check fit on new purchases and alterations? I thought this would be very handy and wondered if you could recommend any good value (< $150) ones

    A bit of advice on the most versatile colour overcoat, with limited options

    I need to get a new and quite modest business wardrobe for a new job, and to save money will mainly be wearing just shirt and trousers (and shoes etc :D) instead of suits. My trousers will be mid grey or navy, likely just something like pick and pick, and I wondered if I was to buy one overcoat...

    Has anyone used a tailor called Robert Tracey in Middlesex, England?

    I know one chap who has and was very happy with the results on two bespoke 3 piece suits. Has anyone else used this fellow? http://www.roberttracey.co.uk/index.php
