    What are you wearing today??

    I went to a wedding, and I wore my 1950's suit. The center piece, though, was the tie. I'd show it off in the Tie thread, but I'm pretty sure that it's a little bit more modern than the 40's the thread is for, so here it is. Forgive the lack of a full body shot, please.

    What is your favorite Scotch Whisky?

    "Lips that touch wine shall never touch mine!" That seems to leave a lot open, doesn't it? How about this, "lips that touch liquor shall never lick her!" Erm. Maybe a bit too far. Back to the Scotch, shall we? I just recently got into whisky, well, I just recently got into alcohol at all. I...

    The Martini

    I drink my martinis in an 8 to 1 ratio, but that's because my preferred martini gin is Bristol Bay, distilled in Alaska, which has a subtle nibble instead of a sharp bite. When I use a different gin I prefer 4 to 1. Has anyone tried a burnt martini, replacing the vermouth with scotch? It seems...

    Valentines Day?

    I don't have any activities planned for Valentine's day, but I know several lonesome females back home who will be pleasantly befuddled to find a mysterious rose on their doorstep...

    the Long-haired man in a hat

    It is in my experience that my long hair and my fedora complement each other. I get more positive comments about both of them when they're worn together than when separate! The only exception is my sister, who doesn't really count for this sort of thing you know.

    Memory foam pillows

    I never liked pillows. They were good in concept, something soft to put your head on when you slept, but they never seem to quite work out for me. Worse still, I could only find comfort on brand new pillows, once they were broken in they no longer were comfortable for me. Then one day, when...

    How do you wash silk ties?

    Here's a website I found when searching for the answer to a similar problem, the website sells hand painted silk scarves but I'm sure that their wash and care page will apply just as well to ties: http://www.texeresilk.com/cms-silk_care_cleaning_washing.html

    Could you vote for me?

    I voted. I think. Either that, or I just donated my life's savings to you. Enjoy the $5.32!

    USPS Rates Go Up in January

    I am related to a supervisor in the USPS, so I can give a somewhat insider's look at the rates increases. Perhaps one of the main reasons that the USPS is increasing rates is because the USPS is trying its absolute hardest to keep its employees employed, despite the economy increasingly turning...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Wow, it's been quite a while since I've posted here. I'm sorry! I'll try to stick around more and not just lurk! Anyways, I've moved recently, and I finally decided to visit the local thrift store. It wasn't very big... I moved from a rather large metropolitan area into a town of about...

    Kilts

    I have a casual kilt in black, somewhat similar to Utilikilt, kind of like their mocker style except they don't have the studs on the front apron and have several leather buckle straps on the side. I think it's a better look than the V on the Utilikilt, especially since the Utilikilts are...

    Valentine's Day. What's your view?

    Well, the girl who I was going to ask didn't even show up to class, so I was unable to ask her to go to the Masquerade Dance with me. I went anyways, with a group of friends, and had plenty of fun. I wore a mask I had made myself, formed out of leather and hand painted, which impressed everyone...

    At a store near you!

    And I was just about to bump it myself, too! Kohls carries a line of shirts by Arrow, fitted shirts. Right on the package they brag about having a higher armhole and about being thinner in the abdomen. I purchased one and wore it Friday; although not as good as bespoke or made to measure...

    Valentine's Day. What's your view?

    This Friday, my college is holding a Valentine's Masquerade dance. There's a girl who sits behind me in my first class on Monday. I plan on asking her to the dance before class... wish me luck please!

    Miss, Mrs. or Madam? The demise of Ms?

    If I am asked to do something, or my name is called in an authoritative tone, I always respond "Yes, sir" or "Yes, ma'am." I didn't use to, but when I decided to be overall more respectful I basically programmed myself to be like that. It has resulted in a few confused comments by members of...

    At a store near you!

    I believe that my camera has been influenced by the Adventurer's Gear thread to go off on an adventure somewhere in my house. I'll probably have to go off on my own adventure to find it... as soon as I find it, I'll make sure to take a couple of pictures of both of the vests.

    At a store near you!

    It may be a little late for this... A little while ago, I went into Target, and something caught my eye. I immediately purchased it. Six button SB vests, wool blend or corduroy, twenty five dollars, surprisingly nice. I walked out of there with a gray wool blend vest, and have worn it several...

    Has the state of your hair influenced your hat wearing?

    Wow, I seem to have the opposite situation as most of the people here. I have quite a bit of hair (as evidenced by my avatar to the left, and that picture was taken a while ago...). I don't get hat hair either; in fact, wearing a fedora tends to make my hair look better for some reason. Caps, be...

    Valentine's Day. What's your view?

    I've never been in a relationship on Valentine's day... dumped a week before, yes, but never had a girl on the day. In high school, for Valentine's day you could buy a rose and have it delivered to someone in their classroom. I had three female friends who were bummed about being single my...

    Vintage watch repair

    Woah, that's a beautiful watch. I've been looking for a skeleton pocket watch... alas, my budget for one is basically thirty dollars. Not much to choose from because of that.
