    Highland Dress

    I have two kilts, but they're both the traditional knife pleat. One is pleated to the sett, the other to the stripe. But I've not seen a kilt in a box pleat...and what is the "X kilt pattern"?). Sounds interesting. The singer Alex Beaton wears a "saltire kilt" that creates the Scottish...

    Broke down and bought one...

    While in Florence, Italy, I sucked it up and got myself a light tan (camel-colored) Borsalino. A little tax return gift to myself :). Can't wait to wear it out...does this mean I get to put that "Borsalino Brotherhood" thing in my signature? :)

    Custom Shirt with Undercurve

    For the folks in SoCal...several times a year, Carroll & Co. in Beverly Hills has custom shirting events, and they have what to my untrained eye looks like a very large selection of collar and cuff styles. I've been getting my shirts there for a few years (started on advice from a buddy) and...

    I hate monkeys.

    Well put. I can never understand the need some people have for exotic "pets"...lions, chimpanzees, wolves, whatever. They're wild animals and they belong in the wild. I'm never surprised when one of these "pets" that is genetically driven to live in huge landscapes finally gets fed up with...

    Fedora Lounge Club Tie -Poll Added, Options on 1st Post.

    I second this motion. The lapel pin is nice, but cufflinks would more useable on a day-to-day basis.

    Necktie Knots

    http://www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~tmf20/tieknots.shtml Why be dogmatic about "the" right knot? Or even "the right knot for _____"? Try something different...

    Centered low. (Maybe you should set up a poll for these questions?)

    Fedora Lounge Club Tie -Poll Added, Options on 1st Post.

    Probably waaaaay too pricey to do, but...I have a bunch of ties (paisleys, mostly) that have a pattern embedded in the weave, like a watermark. I think it's a version of a Moire' fabric, but with a definite design to it (leaves, paisleys, etc.). Just to think out of the box...perhaps that...

    Fedora Lounge Club Tie -Poll Added, Options on 1st Post.

    I'm in for this! I vote single logo centered. And keep the stripes simple and bold, if possible.

    Tie Length, A Serious Matter

    I gave up years ago caring where the short end fell, and just made sure the broad end landed with the tip at the belt buckle (I always kinda thought the tip should hit the middle of the belt buckle, but others say the top). I used to tie Full Windsor knots, but have lately been using a...

    For WWII history buffs and such... Starting at 12:41 a.m. tonight, 6th June (about 15 minutes from now, Tuesday night in Los Angeles), if you have XM Radio, the 40's channel will be replaying in "real-time" the original NBC broadcasts the day of the Normandy invasion for the next 40 hours.

    A Lot o' Mottos: What are your words to live by?

    Not sure who first said this, but I like it: "You can pretend to be serious, but you can't pretend to be funny." And one I refer to a lot when discussing flying, an old saying given to new pilots-in-training in WWII: "The object of the game is not to cheat death. It's never to let him...

    Spectator Shoes

    I have the Allen Edmonds in stock Black and White and in custom Chestnut and White. Once a week or so. Work, evenings out. Anything and everything...suits, trousers and dress shirts, linen trousers and linen shirts. Day or night. Just got them this spring, but probably summer/warm days...

    Official Fedora Lounge Hat/Lapel Pin

    Anxiously awaiting mine. Too bad the guy in the logo doesn't have a pin on HIS lapel. :)

    What's Your Favorite Joke?

    What do you call a guy with no arms and no legs in a museum? Art. What do you call a guy with no arms and no legs waterskiing? Skip.

    What's Your Favorite Joke?

    An elderly husband is driving across the country with his wife, who is very hard of hearing. Partway through the trip, he gets stopped for speeding. Cop: "Did you know you were speeding?" Wife: "WHAT DID HE SAY?" Husband: "HE SAID I WAS SPEEDING!" Cop: "May I see your license, sir?"...

    What's Your Favorite Joke?

    A horse walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Say, fella...why the long face?" :) Actually, my favorite ones are too long to write up well, or a bit too risque for the site, I think. But I like the reminder about the Aristocrats joke! LOL!
