isn't Fok in Moscow, Idaho? "Fraser Martens, 33, an economic analyst in Moscow, Idaho, has been working from home since early last year."

@LA Guy

1) Hey, I know that company, and I recognize that dude.
2) Man, I wish that I had the same level of fitness as I did when I was 33, though I do have to say, old man strength is a real thing,

I've had one court appearance by Zoom. I would have worn the entire suit, but the pants didn't fit after my COVID weight gain.

This needs to be in your signature block,
“I wear pants every time.”

If I was single it would definitely be going in my Tinder profile.

Just received my coat back from Sid Mashburn. The did an excellent job with the working buttons on a De Petrillo overcoat I just bought from Michael Jondral. It took almost two weeks. Thanks for the advice also smitty. I believe you were the one who had mentioned them a few (well more than a few) pages back on this thread.

Actually I haven't really given it that much thought. When I bought the coat the sleeves were unfinished and I received a bag full of buttons. I was going to have someone just sew on the buttons but then I had thought well as read through this thread that some people were getting their coats (well jackets mostly) with working cuffs. So at that point I thought of getting it done.

I went with the machine stitch route which was $85. Hand stitch would have been double that.

really good price... i thought it was more like 150+... but i guess i saw hand stitch prices. Def makes the jacket look much more expensive so def worth $85
