    Vegas footwear help

    I'm headed out to Vegas for the first time in over a decade, and I've been reminded about the "no sneakers" policy most clubs have. I've done my best to avoid "dress code" nightlife for the last ten years, so I've found myself without a pair of "going out" shoes. With the exception of two pair...

    Modern Velvet

    This may be a silly questions, but is modern velvet actually made of...velvet? I'm sure that there's a lot of synthetic "velvet" out there, but would a pair of Albert slippers from say, Brooks Brothers be made with the stuff that comes from antlers?

    Has anyone replaced the ropes on a toggle coat?

    I have a belove duffle coat, but two of the ropes are badly frayed, and won't make it through the winter. Any luck having a tailor replace them? Should I provide my own rope?

    HartMarx discontinued Hickey Freeman's diffusion line, Hickey, about three years ago, yet Hickey suits (in staple Navy and charcoal) still find their way to Gilt and Bluefly at least 2-3 times a year. Is it realistic to thing that HF made so many of those suits that they're still off-loading...

    This marks my second Christmas as a father, and thus my second Christmas tree. Last year's tree was some manner o fir, which requited nothing but water, and barely shed any needles. This year, we opted for a Blue Spruce, which has already started shedding. Any tips for keeping it fresh?

    Girls (HBO)

    So, I bought into the hype and watched episode 1. Nothing about it grabbed me. It's the TV series equivalent of #whitegirlproblems. That said, the awkward sex scene and the firing scene that preceded it were good for a laugh. I'll probably give this show three more episodes to do something for me.
