    OMG! Mafoofan Sighting in NYC!!

    He was in Chicago for a while right? Saw him on Wabash once with his precious Ambrosi pants and some well dressed fellow in a brown suit. Rather diminutive as I remember. Short, but stylish!

    A Shoemaker's blog... or something like that

    I really love Budapest. Thanks for the picture of that lovely street! I spent six months there as a student in 1990. Best six months of my life! Great city, great people, great country!

    Styles that make you shudder...

    I'm not sure I really hate this look, but it always gives me a chuckle when encountered on the busy streets of downtown Chicago. I call it the "Urban Hiker". Usually some guy, anywhere from his 20's thru 50's, kitted out like he's making a tour of the Hymalayan foothills. Example...

    Watch suggestions and advice

    Buy a vintage American made watch like a Hamilton or a Lord Elgin - they last forever, are easy to repair, keep perfect time and come in many stylish designs. Save your money. A vintage 1950's Omega is nice too - for under $1000.

    Exquisite Expensive Business Cards -Where Do I Find

    I used a printer who has a 100+ year old letterpress machine. You provide the design, he makes a plate, you choose the ink color and away you go. The thicker the paper the deeper the plate can be pressed into the paper. Beautiful cards and very cheap. Most big cities now have printers who use...

    "Why are you dressed up anyway?"

    This weekend I attended my Brother-in-Law's outdoor wedding in rural Iowa. I put on my seersucker jacket , white gabardines, cream bucks, oxford white button down, and yellow striped tie and was off. I was the only one there in a suit other than the fellow who did the ceremony (and he wore a...

    Pipe Puffing

    Unfortunately, that "pipe smell" we all like is usually not so apparent to the actual smoker of the pipe. If you live in the Chicago area, I encourage you to go to the largest pipe convention in the US, held out in St. Charles at Pheasant Run Resort every first week of May. Pipe Show Site...
