My father would womanize; he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament...

My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon... luge lessons... In the spring, we'd make meat helmets... When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds "” pretty standard, really.

At the age of 12, I received my first scribe. At the age of 14, a Zoroastrian named Vilmer ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum "” it's breathtaking... I suggest you try it.

One of the best speeches in movie history. Props to you for that.

Pleasure to meet you all.

Do you also go by the screen-name "Harris"?

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of penury sans taste
So if you meet me, have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, do not lambaste
Use all your well learned politesse
Or I'll lay your raiment to waste
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

Hi!

I also noted the absense of the "Introduce Yourself" thread. My name is Harley, I'm 24 and live in Australia. I'd love bespoke shoes, suits and the rest, but cannot yet afford them. So I indulge in some of the nicer RTW shoes and MTM suits. I'll get there one day.

Harris I believe is a Jersey fellow.

Hello All:

New here and could not figure out how to create a new post in the "introduce yourself" thread, so I figured I would just jump in. I welcome any comments on how to create new threads within an area of the forum, as I am new to this media as well as forum.

Anyway, needed to join when I kept being directed to post here in Google searches of various fabrics and suit options.

I am very fond of nice suits and have found my WW Chang suits to be exceptional when compared to my OTR HFreemans or other MTM suits I have in the closet, although I was shocked last week at the pricing increases at Chang since my last purchase in 05. 130/cashmere up to about 1700/suit. Maybe that custom Oxxford is getting closer...

Nice to meet you.

Hello all. long time lurker, but I have learned a lot here. I have just purchased my 3rd pair of Allen Edmonds and i see why they are one of the favorites here

Well hell, I'm a noob here too.

I'm 32, and a high school teacher, fresh out of years of bar management in Dallas and Little Rock. I've been thoroughly enjoying dressing however I care to for work, and have been lurking here for about a year. Being a school teacher, most of my treasured pieces were thrifted or carefully ebayed. I currently have a Corneliani blazer that my wife forces me to only wear once a week. My obsession has run to my exploring what exactly it would take to learn tailoring for myself.

Aside from style, I hang out with my 3 year old daughter, cook overly elaborate breakfasts on weekends, and have an occasional cigar.

HI

 

[Pawz]

My (internet) name is Tasli Marten. I have no life. I'm also a furry *wonders if one is a consequence of the other*

I like Armani and Zegna, though most of my clothes are 'cheap' (why get dressed to sit in front of the laptop all day?).

So... Yeah. Hello. lol
