    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Ah! But when you look that cool, the sun is outclassed anyway. ;)

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    That's my favorite suit. And a glass of wine will make me feel comfortable pretty much anywhere!

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Great hats in this thread! It's nice to see them in the wild, out of captivity. :) Here's me in a Champ thin-ribbon, with my son, on the ferry from Bainbridge Island to Seattle. Here I am in a Cuenca Panama, under the Florida sun (once again with the little guy). And here's a...

    If you get a chance, please post some photos -- and reactions -- once they've arrived.

    Men's DRESS BOOTS to suit all budgets.

    Yes, indeed. Between these and the black (the only options at the moment) I strongly prefer the brown.

    Men's DRESS BOOTS to suit all budgets.

    If it makes you feel any better, the Fifth Street boots are apparently being retooled in response to constructive criticism and are supposed to come out sometime in the near future. In the meantime, I have -- and love -- the Bayfield boots. I don't know that I would wear them with a city suit...

    Straight Razor Advice needed.

    I've read "months" too, but I end up honing about every six weeks. I do have a very thick beard. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I start with an excellent edge and strop every day.

    Have any other men noticed this?

    Oh, I noticed this recently when I lost some weight. My 34-inch waist pants started looking like clown pants on me. But when I pulled out some trousers I purchased about 25 years ago, also with 34-inch waists, they were a little loose, but still wearable. So I broke out the tape measure ...

    Straight Razor Advice needed.

    All the previous advice is excellent. Let me add that if you're looking for a backup razor or two, don't be afraid to check out antique shops. One of the local stores near me ("2 acres of antiques") has about 30 straight razors in a case selling for a song. I picked up a ready-to-shave...

    Edumication

    BA in Government (Clark University quite rightly insisted there is nothing scientific about politics) and half-way to a law degree before dropping out in disgust. After that, many years of working my way through editing and writing jobs before finally settling comfortably as an opinion...

    New study- men enjoy their grooming time

    I can usually make it to 11 am before I look like Fred Flintstone. I'll shave again if we're going out to dinner. Of course, that adds to my grooming time, but my wife is preening herself again alongside me.

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    I know about the loafers claim, and I'll let somebody else parse the details of that debate ... :) The shoes are certainly well made. I didn't know that separate heel sizing was still available as recently as the '80s, but I imagine that a high-quality maker like Nettleton could have been a...

    New study- men enjoy their grooming time

    I very much enjoy my morning shaving ritual: strop my razor, lather my brush, shave (twice, in different directions), aftershave and lotion. We have our grooming routines, they just differ in kind from those of the ladies. But my wife spends a lot more time on the rituals than I do. The fact...

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    Nettleton Nettleton lizard tassle loafers. I'm not sure about the age, but they're old enough that the heels are sized separately from the rest of the shoe. That's a big plus for me, since I have mini-heels that swim in most modern loafers. These shoes fit like a glove.

    Are these shoes any good?

    Longwings? Cool. I have a pair of Hanover longwings that I love. Wear them in good health! And mourn the passing of yet another little bit of good quality.
