    Closing jacket vents

    I like a single vent myself. If you're in the habit of carrying anything bulky on your belt (say a phone, or a firearm), no vent or 2-vent simply don't work.

    Perhaps of interest?

    Glad I could find someone who would appreciate it.

    Real Dedication:

    I remember reading that story, but sadly Netflix doesn't have the movie. Amazon does, but the DVD is 40 bucks.

    Real Dedication:

    I've just been introduced to the world of the sapeurs, Africans who barely have enough money to eat, live with their parents, and endure months of privations to save the money for a nice suit. http://www.viewbookphotostory.com/2009/10/sape/...

    Anyone have a guess how much it might have gone for had I decided to sell it? I'm thinking it's easily worth $50, but what do I know?

    Rum Lovers - Good Quality Rums

    It varies a lot in flavor and quality. In some you can taste the sugarcane. In others all you taste is alcohol and pain.

    ClifffG gets it (if it's still there). I'll try to take a couple pictures for general interest.

    Rum Lovers - Good Quality Rums

    Then what you have is not rum, but cachaça, AKA aguardente or aguardiente ("burning water"). Which for my money is better. I have a friend with contacts all over the Caribbean (don't ask) who brought me several bottles from micro-distilleries. I don't remember the names, but I remember the...

    Perhaps of interest?

    I saw, in a local Goodwill, a Chinese overcoat that I would love to have but can't justify in southern California. It was obviously made for the colder parts of China. It's a medium blue, a cotton shell and a VERY heavy fur liner. The coat must weigh 20 pounds. The reason I think someone here...

    Pulling off a green suit

    I think it can work, but as a two-piece.

    The Umbrella

    Here's the one I use. Not nearly as nice as the ones y'all are discussing, but decent-looking enough, and still cheap.

    Straw hat rehab

    As you can see, the cracking is pretty bad, but because of where it is it isn't very noticeable. I'd kinda like a lower, wider crown anyway.... The brim curled up way too much. I'm gonna have to soften it again, then put some books on it.

    Straw hat rehab

    Well, a bit o' warm water took the crease right out, and fixed the bash to my taste as well. Pics to follow. Thing is, at the high point of the crown in front the straw is a bit cracked. Since that's right where it folds over, it's not really noticeable. I'm considering changing the bash...

    Are you a gentleman?

    I could quibble with that a bit, but it's a prettt serviceable definition.

    Are you a gentleman?

    Now that's beautiful! I s'pose definitions vary, but to me, a Gentleman is simply an honorable man. Few and far between these days.

    Florsheim Shoes

    So how does one remove the faux finish in order to use real polish?

    The Cap Faction

    Hey, I have that exact one! I love it. It's light, and not huge and floppy.

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    Alienating how? Stating my opinion? I didn't get steamed when it was implied that those who find "man-purses" un-masculine have sexuality issues, did I?

    Straw hat rehab

    Well, I don't have a steamer, but this one's pretty soft, so I'll try warm water.
