Split-toe monks: love, hate, indifferent?
Guess I'll go against the grain on this one: I like the first pair posted by the OP. But as was said earlier, they may be good to look at, but not sure I could wear them.- krawlxx

tailors in seoul korea?
I just wanted to post a semi-retraction. Earlier believe I had posted that I had a somewhat negative experience at Hamilton Shirts. I got one shirt from them as a test case, and it just didn't come out the way I wanted. They did change the sleeves for me at no additional cost, but still it...- krawlxx

tailors in seoul korea?
Got it. I do like the Kumkang shops, but they usually only carry one size of each model. At least, that was my experience with the two pairs I bought there. When I ask them about getting shoes resoled through their shop I'll report back, just as an FYI for anyone else who might need to go...- krawlxx

tailors in seoul korea?
I like the official list. Is this something we can add on to? There is one more Kumkang I am aware of, just on the intersection of Insadong / Jongro. If I find the address, can I forward it on to you for addition? Also, have you used Kumkang before? I got a pair of Bruno Magli's there, and it's...- krawlxx

Teaching ESL: What about after?
I did the teaching thing for two years, and then transitioned into other work. Of course, that involved also doing my Master's degree, and then doing a lengthy internship related to U.S. policy towards the two Koreas in D.C. The recommendations above are correct. Before you go to any school be...- krawlxx

Business Casual - What's your take?
I am not a fan of business casual at all, but that's because I rarely see it done well. Usually, it seems business casual is either taken as a license to dress poorly, or it becomes more of a uniform than the suit it, with everyone in the office wearing khakis and poorly fitting blue dress...- krawlxx

Gaijin, prease!
I have a question for the SF members in Japan: Is there a large contingent of foreign hipsters in Japan? In Seoul, the numbers of foreign hipsters is exploding, and is starting to catch on among Koreans as well. Fixies are seemingly everywhere. The topping on the cake was seeing a white guy, in...- krawlxx

Spiderweb cracks on Shoe
The caps of my black leather lace-ups have small, spiderweb cracks. I don't think it's the leather that's actually cracking as the shoes are good quality, and fairly new. Instead, I think it's from too much polish. If I accidently scuff my shoe, or push on it, the cracking spreads out from the...- krawlxx

Gaijin, prease!
I am usually sufficiently lost in my own thoughts/newspaper that I usually don't hear what is being said around me. When I do notice that I have become the topic of discussion, and it is friendly, I will usually interject. The only time I hear really nasty things being said are by old men...- krawlxx

What is an easy language to learn quickly?
Korean was mentioned earlier, and I certainly agree that it is of growing usefulness and importance. As a native English speaker, Korean has been quite challenging (and fun) to learn, but I wouldn't place it in the easy category.- krawlxx

Need Critique - Khakis
I find them to be....well....khakis. I am no fan of khakis and don't own a single pair, but my only comment would be that they are too long. They have quite a big break, even without shoes. Once you add a pair of shoes the break will become even more significant. Other than that...I just find...- krawlxx

Has anyone seen these???
Perhaps you could make a trip to Seoul. I a fairly certain there is a G-Star shop here. I remember it becuase it's in a very prominent location, but I had never heard any mention of the brand. Not sure if they carry the shoes, but as i remember the denim was quite expensive.- krawlxx

Brown Shoes with Gray suit?
I feel like everyone is talking about matching suits with shoes, but doesn't anyone else consider their shirt and tie? I have a light grey suit, and if I'm going white shirt/black tie I'll wear black shoes for a very classic look. If I feel like my shirt and tie combo is already colorful, then...- krawlxx

tailors in seoul korea?
I've made quite a number of shirts from Hamilton shirts in Itaewon. All I can say is that you really get what you pay for. The workmanship is pretty crappy and yeah somehow they always do something wrong (either the shirt's too long/the sleeves are too long/wrong cuffs are made...etc). They're...- krawlxx

Watch your portion sizes
when i was raised i was always told to eat everything on my plate. i find it hard to leave uneaten food on a plate now. ive come to despise resturants which have huge servings at the expense of quality. Tony Romas, TGIFs etc american style food chains are the absolute worst. Amen to this. Any...- krawlxx

Thoughts on Muji?
I got two sets of shoe tress from the Muji store in Seoul, as well as a tie, and am pleased with everything. I don't buy much there, but it's one of my favorite shops to go in and look around.- krawlxx

It was near the entrance to Itaewon by the Arch. I found an old business card with the address of #56-13, Itaewon-Dong... tel- 02-749-8222 I dealt with Mr. Park, Wan Yong the owner. Got it. I'm fairly certain that it's still there, and the next time I am there I will drop in and ask a few...- krawlxx
