    I stand corrected.

    Salvatore Ambrosi returns to New York

    This is really unfair. Kahn's work almost certainly helped avoid a nuclear war, and perhaps saved millions of lives. No, no, don't get me wrong. I'm actually a big fan of Kahn's. He was an incredible genius. I should probably have said "the father of the concept of megadeath" since, as I...

    Salvatore Ambrosi returns to New York

    Karl Rove. no, it is Herman Kahn, father of megadeath, and inspiration for Strangelove. Here's the book: http://www.amazon.com/Worlds-Herman-...9457961&sr=8-2 He just looks kind of like Rove in the greenish glow there. Sorry for the interruption. Back to the pants, which really are beautiful in...

    Not Hitchcock. Dr. Strangelove. Sorry -- is that the young Herman Kahn in your avatar? if so, well played sir.

    Nice deal on some Isaias on STP

    The Euro 50 (which translates to a US 40, as I recall). Wow, you're a busy man today, Johnny. Thanks for all the help.

    Nice deal on some Isaias on STP

    Thank you. I didn't think there were that many offensive linemen posting on the Styleforum. But you never know. Do you by any chance know what the shoulder measurements are on those?

    $200 shoes in NYC

    I've got a friend who's looking for a good pair of traditional -- Allen Edmonds, etc. -- shoes. He's only in town for another month or so, which means that shopping the sales would be hard. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you in advance for your help.

    Shoe polish

    Hmm. Well, as far as shoe type goes -- Grenson, Weston, Terra Plana, McAffee's. Nothing particularly plasticky. I've noticed that my rag, and brush, too, are both saturated with wax a bit. Maybe that has something to do with it...

    Shoe polish

    I've just started taking care of my own shoes after years of just sending them out to get polished. And now, I've noticed that after polishing, the shoes seem to have a layer of wax on them that will not quite dry. It is, in a word, slightly tacky (as in sticky) and also prone to smudging. This...

    Interested Alex Kabbaz article in Departures

    So, does that mean that you don't get frequent flyer miles on those corporate jets?

    more magazine dreck

    Service pieces of this kind are almost always a joke. My brother writes for one of the three major American newspapers and he says when his paper runs a service piece, the reporter runs around the office asking everyone for ideas and suggestions -- "Hey, does anyone know where to get good...

    more magazine dreck

    Sorry Alex -- You're already on record as a paragon of exactitude in one of their other magazines. And people always believe everything they read in magazines. All the other shirtmakers get the free 1/4 inch pass, though.

    more magazine dreck

    Writers are mostly there to give publishers something in between the ads. The really terrifying thing is that everytime someone writes about something I know about (like, say, the art world or trailer parks) they get it almost completely wrong. This has happened often enough to make me really...

    Alan McAfee Shoes?

    Thanks to my fellow Forum members' generousity, I scored a pair of JM Weston captoe bals and a pair of Alan McAfee cognac wingtips. I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about the latter. They say they're "custom grade" and made in England, fwiw. pics posted once they get back from...

    JM Weston 9.5D for $10.00

    Thank you, too, Marc. And I'll definitely keep an eye peeled. BTW, can anyone tell me anything about those McAfee's? Are they made by C&J?
