    Cotton/Linen blends: linen for wusses or an ideal

    A fear years ago became a bit of a linen evangelist after visiting Colonial Williamsburg in 100-degree F weather and asking the re-enactors, who are dressed head to toe, how they managed. Their answer was unequivocal: linen. They're dressed 100% in linen. Well, ok. A few weeks later I was at Mt...

    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

    Well, now I"m feeling foolish. I was all set last week to buy a 3/2 sack blazer at 40% when I called and asked about the annual sale. The woman told me she thought there would be a better deal during the annual sale. So I thought, ok, I'll wait. And now, as far as I can tell, the price isn't...

    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

    So what kind of sale are we expecting for the day after Christmas?

    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

     I'd settle for 25%. I happen to have $100 in certificates burning a whole in my pocket...25% + $100 = affordable Allen Edmonds.

    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

    Does anyone know the schedule for the five days of giving? I'd love to know when the shoes go on sale.

    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

    There was a shoe day last year. I'm hoping there's one this year as well.

    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

     The day after might be a little better, but I bet the selection today is way better.

    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

     Emphasis on the "non-staple," and it's not that common. Today's sale is among the best. It's a good day to pull the trigger. Any word on what comes next in these "six days of giving"?

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

     I just assume they don't carry wides, although I confess that I haven't asked. It is almost always the case that B & M operations only carry D fittings. I'll make some calls.

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

    Ok guys, fit advice needed: I'm a 8E in one foot and a 7.5EE in the other. The shoes I wear are all over the place, size wise. Very last-dependent. Seeing as the 1000k only comes in a EEE, do I go for the D and count on the CXL to stretch as required? If so, 7.5D? I'd wear with thickish socks...

    Calling all LLBean Katahdin Iron Works Boots owners

    I prefer the leather on the cordovan Bean boot, but otherwise, no difference.

    The prices went up to above $300 on Amazon. That's Wovlerine and AE territory...

    RANCOURT & Co. Shoes - Made in Maine

    Classic "Bean Boots" from LL Bean are both cheaper and more functional. And appropriate for a campus setting. If you want something more rugged, Chippewa boots are both tough enough and cheap enough that you can risk thrashing. Bean sells two variants; j crew sells some more expesnive versions...

    Calling all LLBean Katahdin Iron Works Boots owners

     I own neither but have read tons of reviews of both on line. It seems that the difference between the two amounts to: 1. Aesthetics, i.e. one prefers the look of one over the other (I happen to like the looks of the Wolverine better, but that's just me) 2. Rubber versus leather sole. Some...

    Best source for M1943 field jacket

    I want to buy an M1943 or something close to it. No, I'm not into reenacting and thus don't care about historical accuracy, and yes, I've shopped for real (vintage) jackets on Ebay...larger sizes (I'm a 42 but would probably wear a 38 or 40) in good condition are hard to find and quite...

    Suggest first American-made raw denim jeans

    Try Bonobos next, although Bonobos selvege costs a good bit more. I like Gustin and Flint/Tinder because of the high quality and low prices. Gustin was my intro to selvege. Personally, I'm not sure what difference selvege makes, but I have no doubt that Cone's fabric is superior to any other...
