    DC Shirt Makers

    I ordered several years ago from MyTailor with M Kenny doing measurements on the DC tour. Order had to be returned for alterations as they were baggier than my off the rack. They remain baggy after the changes, however, and are the least favorite shirts i own. To be fair, I think the quality of...

    Kamakura Shirts - Madison Ave Store

    I placed an order, my first, for 6 shirts. Fabric selection was okay. There were about 4 or 5 books with at least 1 being from Thomas Mason IIRC. The salesman made no individual measurements. instead determining my fit by seeing how i looked in stock shirts. Perhaps this is typical of MTM...

    2017 MLB Season Thread

     You're not supposed to take on salary & give up top young talent too. de la Rosa is a potential 1 or 2 in the rotation & Webster is the Dodgers's #2 prospect. I hope Kasten (& Colletti) were able to get money back too.

    WW Chan's March Tour

    Must have just missed you! Six trousers for me; a charcoal grey and pearl grey Minnis fresco, a cream and light grey Holland & Sherry gabardine, and a mottled brown ("Dakota") Holland & Sherry cavalry twill. The damage was around $2,800 and the trousers should be ready by mid-June. First time...

    Show us your Chan

    So, I take it you are concerned that unfamiliar faces may have handled the fitting while the main protagonists were over in San Fran? In HK, would you have expected Patrick and Arnold as well? Well, I'll post back with the final product, with a proper shirt (maybe one of the Ascot Chang's I had...

    Total Noob here, but found Styleforum in researching my recent trip to HK.. Here's what I have so far - still waiting for my shipment (just got back Monday) Comments so far - realize that this was the first fitting (didn't snap pics on the second fitting) Loro Piana fabric - was my first...

    The Walking Dead (AMC)

    Huh? Why would they do that? The show is a critical and ratings hit. Am I missing something? The article says that the director wrote 2 of the shows and rewrote the rest. Looks like the staff writers weren't delivering what he wanted.

    The Walking Dead (AMC)

    I'm surprised that I like the shown so far, especially the group tension subplots. Spoiler alert: I was sorry to see the end of the free-riding, abusive husband, however. I think there were some good story lines to be explored. There's still other sources of drama -- the love triangle and the...

    Android phone recommendations/discussion?

    The Verizon iPhone is probably coming after Christmas. Full integration with MS Exchange. Just sayin'. Is this inside information or confirmed? The recent news reports sound like the Vz iphone is around the corner this time, but then months pass and a new round of stories report its inevitablity.

    BMW vs. Lexus vs. Mercedes maintenance costs

    i do not own a bmw so i cannot say for certain, but i've read on forums that BMW's schedule maintenance (aka oil change) is every 15k miles. That's just enough for the car to last through warranty and the car is no longer BMW's problem. there are some cars with heavy sludge and wear with only...

    Mad Men Season 4

    The diner used in the milkshake scene looks like it's been used in the movies. My first thought was pulp fiction. Favorite scene was the kitchen scene with don and betty. She played out the range of emotions superbly. But the way the scene ended suggested the end of a meaningful role for her on...

    these were ordered this summer on the tour -- my third commission. the estimated delivery was late oct early nov so it surprised me to see the box outside the door. the others were always on the later side of the estimate, never before like this... I am very happy with the fit of these -- the...

    Mad Men Season 4

    That Chaough guy drives me insane. Recruiting people when their wife is in delivery and offering hotels to your in-laws? I would have told him to sod off. It showed how little Chaough knew Campbell when he said "you can drive one [Alfa Romeo]" and he doesn't even drive. What was sleazier...

    Mad Men Season 4

    Might be a British thing.....my dad used to wack me around until i stood up to him -- but i was 18/19 then.... Lanye's approach to fatherhood appears different. His first scene with his father shows him in the lobby expecting to see his son and surprising him with gifts. Quite a contrast to the...

    Mad Men Season 4

    He can't quite pull off Don's level of balls so it takes a bit more effort. Pete's still young, several years younger than Don and looks it, but his business development is slowly weaning SCDP from its dangerous dependence on Lucky Strike. He may look awkward at times, but we are witnessing...

    Mad Men Season 4

    It certainly dispels the myth of Sterling saying he "found" the guy in the back of a fur shop doing copy, +1. Also, Roger writing his memoirs is hilarious. "I think I've got a work story." A genuinely happy, smiley don draper was unusual. Natural reaction after winning, but i'm not used to...

    Ebay Trousers - Advice? Also, Harold Powell?

    I believe Harold's started in Oklahoma, and expanded into Texas. I bought some cotton twill pants at their (former) store in Atlanta's Lenox Mall. The pants were reasonably well made. I particularly liked them because, like the pants you linked, they had forward-facing (English-style) pleats. If...

    Mad Men Season 4

    No way Don commits suicide. I think it will end with him sitting in a wood-paneled diner listening to a Journey song. just read this.

    Cheap Reliable Used Car not a Toyota/Honda

    Nissan Sentra - underrated the old Infiniti G20 - underrated and reasonably nice for what you'll pay for it +1. also from the g20 era, a 200SX. personal choice would be mazda protege5.

    Mad Men Season 4

    No comments on the arrogant bastard from Lucky Strike forcing Cooper into the Santa suit to hand out Lucky Strikes? Or his mention of Roger having another heart attack or has Weiner gotten all the play out of cardiac events he can? It was a demeaning but clever insult at Roger. He previously...
