Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

[LA Guy]

The easiest advice I read long ago was to stay eight feet away from someone who coughs, and to count out eight generous seconds before entering that radius.

For sneezes, it was like 40 feet and up to three hours, which sucks.

Not a doctor. Slight germaphobe who thrifts among the hurr-durr.



There was an article the other day that said because most people aspirate their own mucus/saliva during sleep — bringing the virus right into your lungs, if it’s hanging out on your face/nose/throat — you should do this before bed:

Blow your nose.

Wash your hands correctly, then with your finger, the first quarter inch inside each nostril, using soap. (Absolutely don’t use a netti pot).

Brush your teeth and tongue; gargle with mouthwash.

Of course, last summer, there were also articles about keeping sink/shower water out of your nose, due to unlikely, but possible, brain-eating amoeba.

I’m on day five of Netflix, which seems like the best option.

If this is what you are watching, I hesitate to ask about your chill.

They should have named this study "WHO Let the Drops Out"

"The World Health Organization has announced that dogs cannot contract COVID-19. Dogs previously held in quarantine can now be released. To be clear, WHO let the dogs out."

That was shared in the #dad-jokes Slack channel this morning at work.

This one is more comprehensive re droplet size and dispersion

Thanks for the link. Seems like they seem to generally agree at first skim, so perhaps I’d view the aerosolized COVID findings paper through the lens that aerosolization seems to represent a minority of pathogen burden in the air from coughing.

No, I don't think that's it.

anyone have experience with Barbanera Cash boots? I just ordered some black leather ones for £370, not sure what to expect. Also there is no evidence of welting on the sole, but seen info saying they are welted. Is there any way to check?

That picture doesn't look welted, the sole is cut too close to the upper. Could be Blake stitched.

Guess being the greatest tailor of all time wasn't enough; he had to become the greatest grifter too.

Seriously, in ridiculously bad taste. This is basically on par with trying to sell silver solutions to stop the virus.

The salient bits:

Top priorities:

1) Look stylish
2) Provide “some level” of safety

...

People actually bought these, and then my priorities began to change!

I didn't realize he worked for Crye. Good body armor (coming from a range warrior). I guess that's where all of the articulated seam stuff comes from?
