Anyone have recs for a shop around northwest dc with good selection of ties/pocket squares? Have a wedding this weekend and looking for something new. Tried suitsupply in Georgetown which had a good selection but not quite what I was looking for…

Try Sid Mashburn in Georgetown, Paul Stuart in City Center or just go up to Mazza Galleria and hit Sak’s I guess.

EDIT: or just hit Brooks for something simple.

Anyone wipe down the bottom of your leather shoes with disinfecting wipes? Seems like an effective way prevent tracking germs into one’s home. However, I think it will dry out the leather soles.

I take my shoes off before entering the house. As far as I know there are very few diseases that would be on the bottom of one's shoes. The UK had an outbreak of foot and mouth disease almost 20 years ago.

Seems a little over-the-top. Just take them off?

Turns out both the busty serving wenches and my wife take issue with me taking creepy photos of cleavage. But trust you me, it was bountiful.

Were you there? Were you my jousting champion, Balthazar? Cause he sucked.

Yeah it was definitely back in full force and extremely crowded. I always enjoy watching the knife throwing get increasingly haphazard as the crowd gets progressively drunker throughout the day.

According to this article, it's fine to use disinfecting wipes on leather soles:
