    Stunning Vintage Cutaway - from J Press!

    Anybody have experience with the newer brands? I'm in the market for a 40R black cutaway and striped trousers, but the vintage ones are hard to find. Just got outbid on British eBay... Recommedations welcome. Thanks, ROT

    Choosing an Office Chair for Home

    I just purchased this chair (first link) - others can be found at the second link. Send me a message if you are interested in purchasing as I bought out of state for a decent discount. Todd http://www.hookerfurniture.com/index...452RS_5_04.jpg...

    Choosing an Office Chair for Home

    Nice chair, The Contessa. I like the way the controls are located in the armrests. A bit out of my price; but if I can find a good deal, this will make the final cut. Thanks.

    "He takes a whiskey drink..."

    Coolest bottle sticker is Wild Turkey. Would you describe the taste of it for the group? I'm not the best at this. Wild Turkey 101 was the first bourbon I tasted. So for me, it's "The Bourbon Taste." The 101 is hot (alcoholic burn shouldn't be a surprise at 50% +) and I suspect that it was...

    "He takes a whiskey drink..."

    I have been drinking more Single Malt Scotch than Bourbon recently; but, as the weather has finally turned here in Central Virginia, it behooves me to bend an elbow and indulge in the official drink of the South. I've been through a lot of the choices out there but always come back to the...

    Choosing an Office Chair for Home

    Checking Craig's list is a good idea, thanks. The Life Chair looks good as does Steeplechase's Think Chair. However, my realtor now has me staging the house since we're trying to sell. The upshot is furniture is going into storage -- nothing new until we move

    Choosing an Office Chair for Home

    Thanks for the help. Checking out the other chair selections now... yikes, a bit out of my price range. I'm trying not to go over $1,000. And I've got to have the adjustable height arms. The Meda chair looked to fit the bill, until I got to the $2K tag.... Off to look over the two websites...

    Choosing an Office Chair for Home

    bachbeet, I do have a Healthy Back Store just down the street. The CXO was a close runner up, but more expensive since I got the discounts on the Aeron. Will check again tomorrow. designprofessor, Eames... a sight for sore eyes. I'll look into the aluminium group asap. At the moment I'm using a...

    Choosing an Office Chair for Home

    As much as the Aeron has been touted as a landmark in modern design, I, too, find it hideous. Nevertheless, it is comfortable and would certainly get it if it can be found at a cut-rate price. Getting a good deal on "last year's model" before the price increase. And an additional 10% off if I...

    Choosing an Office Chair for Home

    Personally, I use a split back chair. I find the design more comfortable than the aeron. But's all a matter of personal preference. Thanks philosophe. Split back? First I've run into that term. The chairs I tried out all had single piece backs. Could you forward a link to an example or a brand...

    Choosing an Office Chair for Home

    Any advice here? I'm leaning toward a Herman Miller Aeron (I've found a good price) or a CXO Highback. The problem is that I find all these "task" chairs bordering on the hideous in terms of design. I'm a big fan of art deco... Thanks for the feedback.

    Pre-shave oil brand

    The basis for most of these is an olive oil, sweet almond oil or the like. When I'm tapped, I will use plain olive oil and it works just fine. Don't even spring for the cold-pressed Extra Virgin. I do like the aromatherapy effect of my lavander oil from AoS though.A few drops of essence of...

    Online or In Person?

    I have to admit that I'm a sucker for "outstanding service." But I rarely find it these days. Or maybe participating on these boards has opened my eyes to how little the average salesman knows about his goods And maybe that's why I can feel relatively confident shopping on-line. I envy Roy his...

    Online or In Person?

    Alchemiste: I envy you. I wish I had a tailor I could count on here. I'd love to go custom. I always think the cost would sink me. Kent: Yes, I'd count eBay as a "Discount site." wasn't sure how to word the catchall phrase. I have yet to try their clothing vendors, but I've seen some...

    Online or In Person?

    I have been buried in work lately. To clear my head the other day, I dropped into a local men's store and browsed the suits, ties and pocket squares and wound up picking up a pair of shoes. It had been quite some time since I actually hit a brick-and-mortar shop instead of ordering something...

    Getting a Close Shave

    Hmmmm.... disturbing yet riveting. I did forget to add two things. 1) After scraping the beard off, splash with cold water before using the aftershave balm -- to close up the pores. 2) If the blade starts to drag on your face, change the blade. I get about 5 shaves from a fresh razor. Six if...

    Getting a Close Shave

    I agree with the brush users. I've been a fan for years. And yes, it is vital to the longevity of yorbrush to hang it upside down. The travel brush comes with its own canister handle in which it is stored whenpacked away. It can be perched on top of the handle/case to dry. On to the shaving...

    Amazing cashmere flannel trousers

    I'd like to see the pics. They sound great and the colours unusual.How are they waterproofed? Infused with a chemical? Or is it natural oils from the wools and a tight weave? How does one have them cleaned?

    Martegani shoes!

    Well, I've got to admit, Mr. Ron Rider at Franco's is a pleasure to work with and really knows his stuff. I went in looking for a brown loafer. After extensive foot measuring, and shoe analysis, he told me that loafers weren't my best bet and that he didn't want to sell me any because they...
