    Finding Bigfoot

    ^Thanks for the kind word, Left. I'm still hanging in and doing pretty well for an old buzzard. A little while ago I had a good workout with Indian clubs and mugdars along with kettlebells. Didn't hit the latter as hard as I usually do, however.

    Finding Bigfoot

    August 27, and another year of Bigfoot passes. Sixty-five years it has been since Jerry Crew discovered the famous tracks beside his bulldozer. I was 16 then, a vital young fellow transitioning from childhood to manhood. Now I am old, white-haired, wrinkled and slightly stooped with age, and the...

    The best Oxford shirt

    Since I discovered Mercer some years back, he has been the source of all my good shirts. Nuff said!

    Neckerchief - rakish or effeminate?

    ^"Ascot" has a slightly different meaning in the USA than in Britain. What we call an "ascot" is what the British call a "day cravat." What you call an "ascot" we would call a "formal ascot" if we talk about them at all, which is rarely. I wore one of the latter to my second wedding and looked...

    Linen seems difficult to do as a casual odd jacket

    The shoes you are wearing with the faded jeans are not "derbies," they are captoe oxfords/balmorals. This strikes me as a grievous sartorial mismatch. The tailoring on your jackets looks subpar: In a couple of photos it looks as if the lapel notches are riding up on your trapezius muscles. Sorry...

    Neckerchief - rakish or effeminate?

    Neckerchiefs "effeminate"???!!! Then every damn cowboy in the world would be a sissy! I have a few neckerchiefs, seldom wear them, but do wear ascots a great deal. Do your thing, man! I will say wearing a neckerchief with a T-shirt looks a little "off"...but that's just my take!

    All clothes I buy are too big. Will gym help?

    I'd counsel patience, a good diet (lots of protein) and plenty of exercise. I was pretty darn skinny when I graduated from prep school at age 17. Twenty years later, guys were asking me if I were a professional wrestler! Around the same time, I met a big guy who seemed to be about my equal...

    Is the gap between Americans and Europeans too vast?

    Chukka boots are "the staple of the basic bro wardrobe"???? In my years at prep school (1956-1959), a few of the boys wore desert boots. One guy had a pair of regular leather chukkas, Red Wings, I think, and that was about it. Fast forward about 50 years. I had married a widow with a young son...

    Spectator Shoes

    Alan Flusser in Dressing the Man states,"...Manufacturers have replaced this pedigreed shoe's authentic white suede with a cheap and shiny synthetic leather, effectively eliminating the class from this summer classic." I have three pairs of A-E spectators. I have the Belmont in brown and shiny...

    lefty's random dog thread.

    Back when the AKC recognized only about 126 breeds, Frenchies were 104th, if memory serves. My second wife and I considered getting a Frenchy back when they were still rare. I think they're still very pricey, and from all I've heard, they, like their English ancestors, are walking vet bills! I...

    lefty's random dog thread.

    ^Chopping wood can be an excellent form of exercise. Kaiser Bill cut down and chopped up thousands of trees during his exile in Holland. I sometimes bash a tire a few hundred times with a sledgehammer for a change of pace. As to the Marlin 336, a cursory net search showed a lot of them out...

    They are extremely versatile fitness tools. My very fitness-conscious wife has recently become a convert to macebells.

    lefty's random dog thread.

    Both, along with macebells and slam balls. Those four items constitute my primary workout gear these days

    lefty's random dog thread.

    I suspect Scouts were a lot tougher back then (no ****** scouts, for starters)! My stepson was considering joining the Scouts about 25 years ago. They wouldn't let him carry a small knife, much less a gun, on a hike until he had gotten some sort of merit badge, "The Order of the Axe" or...

    lefty's random dog thread.

    Just learned that a man was killed by three Mals and a Corso in Jurupa Valley, CA. He had gone onto the property to do some work for the owner. He had done so before with the dogs around, and I guess he presumed on prior acquaintance--a sad and fatal mistake.
