    Gun Appreciation Thread

    I picked up a Gen 3 Glock 19 RTF frame this summer for my first conceal carry handgun. What is the story with the RTF frame? Is it just a new type of all around checkering? Anything else different than standard Gen 3?

    What Makes Alden Better Than AE?

    Both are American companies making good products in the USA, a dying breed unfortunately. I prefer Aldens because of the Hampton last, which fits me very well and is sleeker than most. I would prefer Aldens anyway overall because of the styling and comfort. However, Alden can be hit or miss in...

    Panerai Ferrari watch but no Ferrari Car

    Well, considering that Panerais are already a fad for poseurs, one with a ferrari symbol on it is no worse. If you really like it and can afford it, why not?

    Any opinions on Regent "Handtailored" suits? (German, not Polo)

    They have a good reputation for quality and apparently have substantial handwork. The fit is too boxy for me though, with padded shoulders and closed quarters.

    Why my tailor (Centofanti) is the best...

    I've read here somewhere that the shirts are farmed out and neither Joe, Helen, nor anyone at Centofanti does the work. The shirts also got less than great reviews if I recall.

    Portugese and Spanish shoes

    Carmina are the only decent Spanish or Portugese shoes I have seen. Carmina are very nice shoes, but as far as I know they are not available anywhere outside of Spain or Paris.

    ***The official Alden thread *** Share enthusiasm, reviews, sizing, advice, and photos.

    Natural chromexcel indy shoe has arrived from ShoeMart. Very happy with the leather - a little darker and smoother than the Shoemart pictures belie. Lots of character. Sorry for enormous pictures. Yuk, they look like band-aid shoes, at least in the pics.

    Is becoming a lawyer a mistake?

    the problem is that these jds in business are there because they had legitimacy from their stints in BIGLAW to begin with. so if you miss the biglaw train (with VERY few exceptions - such as PMF or the few MBB recruits from T6 schools) you are fucked for the OTHER opportunities as well. Quoted...

    What is an easy language to learn quickly?

    I disagree. Having taken elementary spanish, french, and german, the third was by far the easiest to understand for me. Yeah, its easy to understand "Das ist ein Haus." But reaching basic conversational level without still making tons of mistakes is not easy compared Spanish IMO. Anyway, most...

    What is an easy language to learn quickly?

    actually when I posted that, I was looking at it, and ya, I agree, Esperanto speakers are like Dvorak keyboard users, but this chart on wikipedia was kinda interesting with reference to the initial 'what language can i learn quickly' question: Given that these are numbers for Frenchies, who...

    How often do you wear a suit vs. how many suits you own

    I wear suits every weekday all day, so I figure 7 or so is minimum. I have about 10. A few are heavier flannel for winter and one is unlined and thin for summer, and one is cord, which is not for work.

    What's With the Windsor Knots?

    What is an easy language to learn quickly?

    If English is your native language, in theory Dutch or German is the easiest foreign language to learn. Once you get over the crazy-sounding words and pronunciations, you realize that the entire grammatical structure is virtually the same. This is a BIG deal. In any given language, syntax and...

    Care for wool pants?

    The best way is to properly hang them on a hanger for pants, by clipping the bottom hem of the pants to the hanger so that the pants hang straight down. Any wrinkles will work themselves out in a day of just hanging.
