    Coat's Manufacturer's Label

    Many years ago Andrew Harris (can't recall his member name) made a post on the various labels sewn inside the interior breast pocket of most tailored clothing. It was an easy way of identifying a maker. I've looked and looked and can't find it. Might any of you be able to supply a link?

    TSA-Pre / Global Entry / CLEAR

    I'm TSA-Pre (& Global Entry) ... but of late I'm finding TSA-Pre is often rather backed up. Do any of you recommend CLEAR? EDIT @ 7:15 PM: Never mind I guess. I just discovered that due to airline frequent flyer level I get it free for two years. Might as well try it.

    Whose Logo/Symbol?

    My nephew asked me to get him a sweater similar a photo he sent. The color (rather off in this photo) is a medium slate blue and I'm having a difficult time finding it. Do any of you recognize this symbol? Maybe that would help in the search.

    Need Recommendation of a New Legal Thriller Book

    My 97yo father reads about three books a week. At least one is fiction. Lately he is a great fan of legal thrillers ... BUT ... he's read all of Grisham. Well, he is now reading the one just out. He's also read most of Scott Pratt. Have you any recommendations of other authors that I might...

    Need Quality Cobbler for Refurbishing GYW (and Blake stitched) Shoes.

    I need several pairs of Goodyear welted (and a Blake stitched) shoes resoled/refurbished. While I typically send my shoes back to the original cordwainer/maker, some of these are by firms that are no longer around and two pairs have a retailer's name but not that of the maker. That said, I'd...

    The COVID-19 Home Haircut. Yes or no?

    So with the shelter-in-place order, I was about eight weeks overdue for a haircut and feeling a bit ... desperate ... yes, that's the euphemism. So ... uhhh ... I ... uhhh ... took my clippers and give myself a #5 on the side and a #10 across the top. This was a first for me. The result isn't...

    Barney's at the Beginning of Madison Avenue vs Recent Days (prior to the current Chapter 11)

    I'm one of those who used to frequent these pages but hasn't been here much of late. I'm not sure this is the right place to post this, but what the heck. If the admins prefer to move it, I understand. My post is about Barney's ... recent but pre Chapter 11 vs. the Barney's of my younger days...

    Need Source for Argyle Socks in Wool

    Ben Silver carries the wool and nylon(?) Argyle socks pictured below (top photo), I'm wondering if anyone knows who makes them. There was a time I could also find them at Paul Stuart and Mettez ... but I haven't been in either stone in a while and I don't see them on either website. The...

    Acqua di Parma Scent: Need Help

    Selecting a scent can be difficult for me. After smelling one or two my nose is 'shot'. A while back I stayed in a hotel that offered bath products in an Acqua di Parma scent that I really liked. I should have written down the name but I didn't and I've had no luck finding it. Just this...

    Degree of Branding in Classic Menswear

    I'm stunned by the percentage of threads with branding. That was not always the case here on Style Forum. There was a time it was actually more about style than brand. I've mostly been away for the last few years, what happened?

    Luggage: Creamy White Canvas with Tan Leather Trim

    I was at the airport yesterday and saw someone carrying a travel bag of a creamy white canvas with tan leather trim. It looked rather well made. I've searched on the internet but am having a hard time finding anything like it. Might any of you have any ideas as to who might make this? If yes...

    On Line vs. In Line

    Most anyone in the northeastern United States has likely heard someone refer to 'standing on line.' In most of the rest of the United States one hears 'standing in line.' Then there are those who queue. Any of you care to share your thoughts? I'd also like hearing from those from outside...

    Wall Papering a Room in Stock Certificates

    I noticed on eBay some stock certificates of now long-gone companies: Pan Am, Braniff, Mobile & Ohio Railroad, Billups Oil, etc. They are fairly inexpensive and I've been thinking of papering my inner sanctum (my home office 'powder' room) with them. Good idea or tacky? Thoughts?

    Age-Activated Attention Deficite Disorder

    I came across this youtube video that pretty much describes my life of late. I'm wondering if anyone can relate? I'd write more, but I've just noticed my glasses which I couldn't find earlier. I must return to my dresser top so I'll know where to find them when I need them. Naturally that...

    My ‘knock-off’ is funnier than your ‘knock-off’

    So I ordered for my nephew this IWC (the watch company) baseball cap I found on e-Bay. It arrived today. I didn’t know that Switzerland had changed its name to Switxerland.

    Houses with 'No Shoe' Rules

    Lately I've visited several homes where I've been asked to take off my shoes. In each case it seems that the house has a 'no shoe' rule. The thing is, I haven't been offered slippers to wear and I don't typically keep a pair with me (although I'm reconsidering keeping a pair in the trunk of...

    Visiting Mauritius: Yes or No?

    I've received an invitation to visit Mauritius next spring. Given the distance (two consecutive overnight flights ... but might stop a night or two in London going and coming) that's quite a ways to travel. Do any of you have experiences / recommendations / warnings you are willing to share?

    Skunk at Close Range ... Too Close

    I'm up early today. This morning at 3:50 PDT (It's now 6:15), my senior beagle jumped on the bed and woke me up. Immediately I realized we had a problem. The aroma of skunk filled the air. Unless you have smelled it at close range -- and I don't mean driving past it ... that's nothing -- you...
