    What Music Service Do you Subscribe To?

    If any of you subscribe to streaming music services, we can exchange playlists and help each other discover new music. It is like the old "mix tape" idea, but on steroids. I've discovered a bunch of golden era music on Rhapsody that is great and which I'd like to share.

    What's going on in No. England and So. Scotland?

    I've seen many posts here talking about how scary it is be well-dressed in Northern English cities or in Glasgow. Posts from Herringbone Kid, Belly Tank and Paddy come to mind. Man, it sounds like these are some tough towns. What's going on in these places? Is South Central LA safer?

    Pleat Terminology

    Swing Band Leader: Raymond Scott

    I stumbled on Raymond Scott's music when watching the movie Funny Bones last night. This guy was wild! It's the wackiest '30s era swing I've ever heard. Scott's music was apparently used as background for many cartoons of the period. Has anyone heard this guy's stuff? For those of you are are...

    Did Breast Pockets Used to Be Wider?

    The breast pockets on my modern suits are uniformally 4 1/2 inches wide. I like to wear my linen pocket squares in the straight horizontal line fashion -- I've seen it called the "Presidential"; this site calls it the "Architect". When I do this, the pocket square looks too narrow, compared...

    Button Down Shirt with a Double-Breasted Pinstripe

    I watched Notorious the other night. Cary Grant wore a button-down collar shirt throughout. I was surprised to see him wearing one with a pinstripe flannel double-breasted. Of course Cary can pull anything off, but I thought that was a faux pas.

    small waist-big butt-long rise-nothing fits

    I hope you guys can give me some advice. I have a 29" waist. I am 38" measured around the butt. I have a 12" rise. This combination has made it impossible for me to find off the rack clothes that fit. If they fit in the waist - they ride up my butt like a thong. If they fit in the seat -...
