    What does "relaxed fit" mean today?

    Yesterday, my Chimala buckle-backs came in from the Farinelli's flash sale. (They were on my doorstep on Saturday, but I was not home.) They are very nice jeans. I like the detailing and the fit. Chimala advertises these jeans as "relaxed fit." Yet, when comparing their measurements, I find...

    J. Gordon Holt grows up

    I recently found this gem of a quote from Stereophile's founding editor, thanks to a friend who alerted me to Harman engineer/designer Sean Olive's blog. "Audio as a hobby is dying, largely by its own hand. As far as the real world is concerned, high-end audio lost its credibility during the...

    J. Press - don't get it

    I went into Press for the first time last week, and I have to say I didn't get the place. Expensive shirts with plastic buttons and fused suits/jackets with shelf-like 1980s shoulders are "traditional Ivy League?" Not everything was bad, mind. Their contrasting-edge linen pocket...

    Items one can cut out of his wardrobe

    What are some things that you think even a wardrobe of breathtaking variety that can provide clothing suitable for any occasion just does not need in great variety? I'll start with one: cufflinks. Late last year I bought a set of plain double-sided, chain-linked sterling silver ovals. Since I...

    Moving to DC for the summer: recs for dry cleaners, hair places, tailor/cobbler etc.

    I'm about to move to DC for a summer position, and I was wondering what current recs are in DC for the following things. 1) Someplace to get my jackets and pants drycleaned. 2) Someplace to get my hair cut. 3) Someplace to repair clothing and shoes, just in case. A rec for a reweaver would be...

    Camp collar flannel shirts, aye or nay?

    I was looking through the Paul Stuart website, and I noticed a few flannel shirts in their "Cooper" camp collar. While I have a fair number of camp collar shirts in linen, cotton-linen blends, and summer-weight cotton, it has never occurred to me to look for such a shirt in a heavier cotton or...

    Aero jacket question: did they make for Carroll & Co?

    I received my lone leather jacket as a gift several years ago (can't recall exactly when). It only has one badge, showing it to have come from Carroll & Co in LA. I don't see any maker identifying marks on it, or a "Made in" tag. After reading some threads here on Aero, I looked at their website...

    Least favorite shoe styles

    What are your least favorite shoe styles? Not materials, but styles. Here are a few of mine. -Chopped Chelseas. I don't see the point. The Chelsea boot is an elegant and classic shoe, but I see no reason for these things to exist. Except, perhaps to give retailers something novel but useless...

    PSA: OTC wool/cashmere blend socks at Banana Republic for $3/pair

    I was dragged into the BR at Lenox Square in Atlanta today, but it wasn't a total loss because I found a bunch of dove grey cashmere blend socks for $2.97/pr. I bought five pairs but there were a lot left. They only had light grey. I don't expect they will last long, but at a little more than...
