I've been busier than a one legged man in an ass-kicking contest and haven't logged on in forever. But I though I would stop by and say Hello.
Hope everyone is well.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Everyone! I have a question regarding Top Hats that I hope you can answer. Here is the setup: I am hoping to be elected Master of my lodge in January (God and the Craft willing). And our master (I think like all Masters in the US) wears a hat. And at our...
I don't own a masonic ring, but I've been thinking about getting one for years. So gentlemen, how about some photos of your rings and some suggested websites where you've had good buying experiences...
We live in a home built back in the 30's. And as you could imagine, what was code 80 years ago would never fly today. We have a fireplace and have been using it for the past few years. I called a new chimney sweep company for my cleaning and when he came out, he did not clean the chimney and...
I remember an article or link a year or two ago about how the cost of the hatcheck may have been a contributing factor as to why men stopped wearing hats. I haven't been able to find the post. Does anyone remember this thread?
I was fondling a Johnston & Murphy lawyer case the other day at the mall. My wife told me to buy it, but I talked myself out of it. When I got home I decided I SHOULD have it. That night I did an Amazon search and found the same case for about $55 less than the store was selling at. It...
I made a commitment last year to do my best to avoid the 'China Mart' stores. I'm really trying my darndest to keep my money local. I shop our locally owened Ace Hardware rather than Home Depot, for example, even though it might cost me a dollar or two more. I'm trying to curb my online...
I've wanted one of these military style shave bags for several years. Each year my wife would ask me what I wanted for my birthday, or Christmas or Father's Day, and I would tell her I wanted the Military Shave bag. I would even go so far as to send her the link to a website that sells the...
I was at a yard sale in Philadelphia about 12 or 14 years ago, and I saw two film-reel cans. I asked the woman what was in them and she told me Laurence Olivier doing Hamlet. So I bought them for 5 bucks. I don't know why, I just thought it was cool to have. And, I don't know if they have...
I got a catalogue today and they have the a pretty reasonable sale on their dress shirts (that is, reasonable compared to the regular price of the sale shirt). Anyone familiar With the brand and/or the quality?
I've had an iPhone for several years now and could never imagine living without it. Recently, I've been tossing aorund the idea of also getting an Ipad (which I underdestand is like a bigger iPhone which doesn't make calls). So I keep coming back to "Do I really need it since my iPhone suits...
I'm going to start cleaning the basement and I'm anxious to thin out my 'stuff'. I know I've got boxes and boxes of books; paperbacks, hard cover, etc. While I fantasize about having a large study someday that is filled with books, I doubt I'll ever read them again. And... Perhaps in te future...
About a year ago I decided to start wearing a pocket square. I went to one of the box stores near me (it was either Joseph Banks or Men's Wearhouse, I actually don't remember now) and picked up a few different colors. But, they aren't cheap. So I asked the clerk if he had a 'pinwheel' type...
I've got waaay too many ties. I could probably get rid of 80% of them and I would never miss them. But indent want to do that bc I lime seeing a shirt/suit/tie combo in a catalogue or on tv and knowing that I probably have a similar tie and can therefore pull off that look the next day. I keep...
I want to buy a new topcoat and J. Banks is having a sale that ends today, so I'm going to order online. My question is this: is a plain grey wool coat 'dressier' than a grey wool with a herringbone pattern? Discuss.
