those are the smallest snowshoes i have ever seen

I don't have any pics but I use to use a pair a few years ago. They were lapland style cross country. I loved them! I would use them not far from where you are. (I lived in the Olean area for awhile) Just remember like any skies they need some love and the wooden ones need pine tar...

Watch repair recommendation for the DC metro area (LONG) I have many watches, but by far my most prized two pieces are the Cuervo Y Sobrinos dating from 1938 and 1951 that were handed down to me. The 1938 piece is an entirely hand made movement and worth something other than family heritage...

Well, I got the Floto Venezia on Thursday and used it this weekend on a trip to New York. It is great! I must say I was a little surprised at how dark the leather was compared to photos but I am not one to complain as it is perfect in my book! I was really careful about what I packed...

I personally wear dirty bucs with the seersucker. I also have a pair of saddles in white and brown that sometimes gets matched but dirty bucs are de rigor I think. As for cuffs, this is news to me. I grew up in the south and I am sure I have seen the trousers without cuffs, though I can't...

with the de or as I call it my "travel razor" it is by feel and in the shower. This is my only excuse for taking a shower longer than the ol Navy style. I use a straight razor otherwise and refuse to even think about doing it by feel only with that one. Edit: I have to agree with skankpile...

Paddy, Do the straps go all the was around that bag or stop at the lower seem? Also, I searched but didn't come up with your initialing link. Any chance you can PM that?

I must say, that bag looks fantastic.

I did. But alas it is gone due to the wife handing it over as a present to an Uncle. Long story. Sorry it has been a while since I logged on. I was in China for the last month + with family. I ended up ordering the Floto Venezia as it seemed reasonable. However the company I went...

Could not agree more. I was lamenting the same things as the OP when I first moved North to DC. Then I figured I would just do as I was raised to do. It is amazing how well received one can be if they just start a conversation. People are always a little surprised at first when you...

Panama mostly. In the winter I wear a flat cap the most for some reason. I would like to say I grab the fedora but that just isn't the truth. I am going to have to work on that I suppose

I missed something... what is wrong with these gents? ... EDIT: I was out of line. I retract. Sorry about that folks

Not trying to be silly here. Aren't they still called sport shirts? Only reason I ask is I don't know what else they would be called.

Sorry to revive this but I just couldn't help myself. Cafe Con Leche for breakfast with fresh fruit Oysters on the half shell Crawfish in season Paella (really... This is hands down the top of the heap for me)
