    What do you think of Zegna tailoring?

    I have a MTM suit with Zegna fabric and its worth paying extra to get it. Loro piana is just as nice (from what I can tell).

    New Shoes - When do you have the first shine?

    Should I have my new shoes shined right away or should I wait until they appear to need a shine? I saw a guy the other day take shoes out of the box and get them shined, do some of you do that?

    Where do you buy your coffee?

    I live around NYC and I shop at fairway. They have a great coffee selection and I usually buy Indonesian Sulawesi. I like stong coffee and that does the trick, and at 7.99 a pound you can't beat the price.
