    His NPR show is definitely his primary focus. I've listened to it off and on. When it's a guest I'm interested in it can be good. When it's someone who I don't know or am not interested in he doesn't have the magnetism as a host to make me want to listen and find out about someone new even...

    After 9/11 it was not just the black SUVs, but the black SUVs with the rear window down and a machine gun mounted on a turret in the back.

    That's a lot of breathable fabric on a day that wasn't particularly hot. Love the jacket color.

    If you want something from the old Hickey Freeman factory with the old Hickey Freeman workers, hit up @Epaulet. They are doing both their own cuts as well as the HF patterns, and patterns from several other makers as well through Rochester Tailored Clothing.

    My wife and did the Inn about 10 years ago. We stayed at another B&B in Little Washington b/c the room rate was outrageous. The service was impeccable. The wine list and drinks were incredible. Some of the food was great. Some of it was just good. The best I've had in the DC area is Pineapple...

    Really like that one. I am planning to get something with a moon phase eventually. The problem is the one I like most is the Lange One moonphase and my second choice is the JLC Master Perpetual Calendar (the one from the 90s). They're a big step up from my price range - in fact the Lange is...

    +2. I only dry-clean my suits if I buy them from eBay or if they are stained. Otherwise, I do it as rarely as possible. That said, I only use Parkway for suits, jackets, overcoats and other tailoring. I would never use them for shirt laundering or less expensive items like sweaters or odd...

    The biggest problem with Pike and Rose is the parking. They should have setup parking on the outskirts so people had to walk to the center area. Instead, they funnel the cars toward the center to park in the two garages, but it's hard to get through to the garages b/c it's so narrow with lots of...

    Epaulet shop - Official Affiliate thread

    I got my first pair of laidback pants (sashiko) last week. The inseam is incredibly long for me. I normally tailor pants to 28.5 or 29" so 36" is something else. I know a lot of people roll the bottom, but 7" of rolling is too heavy and weighs the pants down. Does anyone have any suggestions...

    Lots fewer people working downtown during the week than there were before the onset of the pandemic. A lot of the sandwich places are gone. I assume there's a lot of vacant office space above the vacant street level walk in quick food establishments. They should probably convert some of the...

    I use Divij - previously MyTailor or Hemrajani Brothers. His factory is in Hong Kong. Turnaround can be between 4 and 8 weeks depending on how busy they are. Divij himself is better than M Kenny who also travels for him to this area. There's a thread on SF about his style/work.

    Who makes a wool fleece jacket?

    Based on the original advice, i bought the American Trench fleece. The backing is poly; I would have preferred cotton, but what can you. It's good. Pretty warm. Well constructed. Can't say re: long-term b/c I've only had it a couple months.
