Learning how to cook
Check out Marcella Hazan's "Essentials of Italian Cooking". Very very simple recipes that don't use too many ingrediants or techniques, the very essence of cucina italiana. Also, take a look at "The New Basics Cookbook" from the Silver Palate chicas. The illustrations are lame but they pack a...- smokinggun

Hair cut
I think that the state licensing exam is different for barbers than for cosmetologists, but I'm not exactly sure on the specifics. Most of the exam involves sanitation/hygiene anyway...nothing of any real-world practicality (or so I've been told) The key difference between high-end salon...- smokinggun

What is easier?
How much bigger can slacks be before altering them to fit becomes too arduous for an average tailor? Is it foolhardy to even think of buying a size 34 when I'm a 30?- smokinggun

Barney's private label suits? thumbs up? down?
Just for future reference, the sales staff at Barney's Outlet told me that Nogara manufactures most of their private-label stuff (at least for the Outlets). Never heard of them, but according to a blurb on their website, "Nogara S.p.A. is renowed and appreciated as a specialized semi-canvas...- smokinggun

Cabazon outlet notes (baldesarini, ae, etc)
For what it's worth, one of the sales staff at Zegna (Cabazon) lamented the fact that they were receiving fewer and fewer high-end Napoli or Trofeo pieces. She was fairly honest in pointing out that the Gritti line was fused, but one of the new black 2-buttons suits had pick-stitched lapels or...- smokinggun

Is there a filenes in nyc?
hmmm.. Do you think the huge increase in suburban discount designer/fashion outlets has contributed to the paucity of great finds at traditional discounters like Filene's Basement and Loehmann's?- smokinggun

Barney's private label suits? thumbs up? down?
Thanks for the info. I didn't know that Sartoria Castangia crafts high-end "Battistoni" suits for Barney's. hmmm..... Still, I would be surprised if they make any of Barney's outlet-priced generic label suits. For $450, it's tempting, but I'd rather pay $600 or $650 for a reputable...- smokinggun

Barney's private label suits? thumbs up? down?
Thanks for replying. I'll keep that Barney's Private Label in mind, but I'm really hoping to score a deal on a Canali somewhere in Southern Cal.- smokinggun

Barney's private label suits? thumbs up? down?
I was over at the Barney's Outlet looking for a pin-stripe and noticed that all the suits in my size were Barney's house brand. The label indicated that it's "Made in Italy", but I'm not enough of an expert to judge quality of fabric or workmanship. The price is attractive (under...- smokinggun
