Ted Baker City of London web site?
I've only recently cottoned on to the fact that City of London is a Ted Baker line. Although Ted's eponymous stuff is hardly top-shelf, I'd never have guessed the connection, as it seems miles ahead of the City of London merchandise in quality of both design and construction. The ties, for...- Etruscan

Vivienne Westwood
Not having been to any of Westwood's stores, I suppose I haven't seen the more wearable things you describe (other than neckties, a couple of which I've bought). And haunting the outlets and discount sources as I do, no doubt I'm more likely to see items that have not been successful in...- Etruscan

Vivienne Westwood
I don't doubt that Westwood does some nice things (I have a couple of her ties that are unusual without being over-the-top), but most of her pieces just seem outlandish, clownish even, and moreover the fabrics are generally not good--both ugly and uncomfortable. (Rubberized denim? Ugh.) Westwood...- Etruscan

Les Copains
I have an apple green Les Copains tie that I was happy to find at Filene's Basement for very short money (but then I try to spend less than $20 on a tie). I don't know about their women's wear, but Les Copains seems to do a lot of knits (sweaters, polo shirts and the like) in addition to...- Etruscan

Sympathy for the UK
Heavy with this morning's dreadful news, hearts in the United States and throughout the world go out to our British brothers and sisters. Amid this calamity, may you whose steadfast courage and stoicism are a beacon to us all find safety, comfort and peace.- Etruscan

Worst '80s songs?
If one were to bend the category to include bad songs that one enjoys despite one's better judgment, as a sort of guilty pleasure, I'd have to include a few faves that I've always found to be great, dopey fun: (I know this much is) True (Spandau Ballet) (I wear my) Sunglasses at Night (Corey...- Etruscan

Seersucker pants cut like jeans?
Casual seersucker trousers are a J. Crew staple, I believe. They're not cut exactly like jeans, but they come pretty close to capturing that feeling. Good luck.- Etruscan

Dress shirt with red buttonhole
I assume that while such an accommodation wouldn't be necessary on a bespoke model, men's RTW shirts occasionally feature a horizontally oriented bottom buttonhole in the interests of helping that button to resist a tendency to stay fastened. (Possibly as a result they may also help to keep the...- Etruscan

SF shopping
Is North Beach really the red light district, JN3? The bits I've seen looked pretty respectable to me (though I remember being surprised to see more signs in Chinese than Italian). I'd have guessed that the red-light honors, such as they are, would be shared by the Tenderloin and on up Polk, but...- Etruscan

SF shopping
There are a lot of fun clothing stores in the SoMa (South of Market) neighborhood. Rolo (which actually has two locations, or did as of my last visit a year ago) is a favorite, but there are plenty of others. A lot of funky furniture stores thereabouts as well. Good luck with your interview...- Etruscan

Armani Ties
They never seem to knot well, or at any rate, as you'd like them to knot. I avoid them unless I find the fabric design (which isn't often, as I seldom favor printed ties) or the price is irresistible.- Etruscan

i auditioned for jeopardy
"What is 'disappointment', Alex?" I took and passed the written test at a cattle-call audition here in Boston 5 years ago. I then progressed to the practice game session and did well enough with the buzzer and questions but had an idea that I wasn't winning the personality test...- Etruscan
