    Living in America: The BEST place to live and work?

    I'm in Michigan right now, and a lot further north and west than Muskegon (Houghton, 100 miles northwest of Marquette). Muskegon isn't even halfway up the mitten. Housing is cheap in Michigan because everybody is running away! Jobs are... well, you can find them. Depends on the industry. Our...

    Bespoke Hats in NYC?

    Heh, for me that's shirtsleeves weather. Maybe a light fleece vest in case it drops more, or a lighter sport coat. But then again I live some 400 miles due north of Chicago; it's only been consistently in the high 40s/low 50s during the day for a little over a week. Nice hat, though! From...

    MEN of the LOUNGE

    A bit of a goofy grin. Things were moving pretty fast at this point; when my buddy snapped the picture I was maybe three or four people from the front of the line, and things are kind of a blur from then until I got back to my seat.

    Graduate School Wardrobe

    I just finished my undergraduate a few days ago. I'm not planning on going on to grad school, but for what it's worth, I wore khakis or cords and a button-front shirt pretty much every day through my undergrad days, even when I *was* bar-hopping. I got occasional comments, but nobody was ever...

    The "Picky" College Student

    I second ClaraB. Pretty much exactly the same situation here. My hard-liquor consumption has fallen, though, and I'm drinking more wine lately. The last party I went to I brought a bottle of Zinfandel. It was a BYOB party, which meant lots of people brought things like a 2L bottle of coke, with...

    Short Sleeved Dress Shirts With a Suit?

    All of my short-sleeve button-front shirts are made of colorful striped seersucker, or are covered in things like old pickup trucks, surfboards, or old wooden speedboats. I'd never wear any of them with a tie, let alone a sport coat.

    Show Us Your Pedigree! The Heritage Thread.

    All of my Davis family was in Ohio, and even looking through the records for Delaware Co. OH, I found MANY unrelated Davis families living in the area, so it's unlikely it's the same Davis.

    Details and Options

    Looking more closely it seems that there actually isn't anything that would warrant picking out the stitching. It SEEMS to be a second panel sewn in at the pleat that goes from the pleat to the sleeve (judging by what I can feel of the edges of cloth and angles/thicknesses of stitching and folds...

    Details and Options

    Anyone seen a belt back with... "fake" pleats? I mean, the pleats are there, but they are sewn in place and are just kind of flaps of fabric; they provide no freedom of movement. I just got something like that on a sport coat I picked up at St. Vincent's for $8, so no big loss, but I found it...

    Show Us Your Pedigree! The Heritage Thread.

    I'll try to keep this brief; one of my hobbies is genealogy, so I can go into a lot of detail that nobody is really very interested in, unless, perhaps, they feel some of it may describe their own heritage as well. I've included some prominent surnames for which I have a reasonable amount of...

    Camera Suggestions needed!

    I suggest, if possible, finding a camera that takes some kind of standard battery rather than a proprietary battery pack. One thing I LOVED about my Canon Powershot A75 was that it used AA batteries. I usually ran with rechargeables, and had a spare set on me if I was going to be taking a lot of...

    Camera Suggestions needed!

    It's more that the sensor is not high quality or large enough to produce a clear image at a high ISO. Sensor size has nothing to do with what ISO is required to record an image. To clarify, a given scene only has a fixed amount of light for the camera to capture. There are three numbers at...

    What's your favourite porridge?

    One part plain 'ol steel-cut oats, three parts water, one part milk. Dump the oats in a pot with a pinch of salt, and the water, bring to a boil, reduce to a LOW simmer, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir, add the milk, cover again, and let it simmer for another 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with...

    Camera Suggestions needed!

    I was pretty happy with my Canon Powershot A75. Note that it didn't survive being dunked in a lake, but I got quite a bit of service out of it before then. I'm not sure what they have in that line at the moment, but they seem to come out with new models fairly often. It might be a bit bulky for...

    MEN of the LOUNGE

    At Karaoke this past Saturday, singing Oh! Darling by The Beatles.

    Songs that always made you smile, dance, love being alive?

    "Sing, Sing, Sing" of course, though I usually have to take a break for a song or two after dancing to it. Pretty much all of Abbey Road by The Beatles, but especially the last half.

    Warm weather hats

    My favorite summer hat is a wide-brimmed "outback" from Scala. The brim is waxed canvas with a leather edge, the top of the crown is also waxed canvas with a little foam to hold its shape, and the sides of the crown are mesh. It also has a chin-strap and band, both of leather. It's certainly...

    A breakdown of Fedora Loungers by sex, location, age and marital status

    23, male, single, Houghton MI (way up north in the middle of nowhere, 100 miles past Marquette) until May, at which time I graduate, and it's on to who knows where.

    Is it just me?

    I've watched the opening a few times. Now THAT is fun.
