Any College Professors here?
You're fortunately in a job where you have a great deal of freedom to dress as you please. At my university, folks run the gamut from sharp and distinctive to frumpy and cheap. But for me, I want to dress in a way significantly better than my students. Even so, I wear a wide range of...- CrimProf

Training for half marathon + Hypertrophy training = ?
I'm up to half marathon distance, basically from couch to 13 miles. I started slowly. I walked on the treadmill to start and kept upping the times and speed until I was jogging. From there, I kept gradually adding distance--as much as I felt I could handle. I didn't try to rush anything, which...- CrimProf

Bored when hit goal weight
I'm approaching the wrong side of 40 later this year. Over the past several years I dropped from 199 down to 142 (my college weight, but actually slimmer than I was when I was 21). I did it all by running, and was able to get down to my desired weight a couple years ago. I manage to keep my...- CrimProf

Gilt Hickey Suit differences
Since the MSRP on both is identical, my guess is that the quality of both suits is identical. It could be that the more expensive one is a more recent vintage than the less expensive one (so they charge down on the older ones to get rid of them). Or that the more expensive one is of a...- CrimProf

What is swagger? discuss
Swagger generally means cockiness, but I guess in this context we're talking about having the confidence to carry off a style. One can act confident with lousy execution (as in that picture of the dude drinking the Riesling or the guy with the leopard print), and just look like a clown. Or one...- CrimProf

The Official RRL Thread
Can someone help a newbie out with a jean sizing question? I just went to the Ralph Lauren store and tried on some RRL Slim Bootcuts in dark rigid. I wasn't really interested in slim denim, or so I thought. But I really liked the cut of these jeans when I tried them on. So the question is what...- CrimProf

Sneakers: PF Flyers v. Converse All Stars
I wear the PF Flyers (bought for <$50 at 6pm.com). I've considered both, but the PFs I got had exactly the look I wanted and they're a very comfortable shoe. I wouldn't use my PFs as both running shoes and casual shoes. They might work ok in a pinch as runners, not that I've ever tried them as...- CrimProf

Living in a timewarp
I find the intersection of "period reenactors" and steampunk interesting, but to the degree that people genuinely think they are "creating their own reality" it can border on delusion. Especially true for that dude who "preferred" that "Victorian view" where there was "respect for one's fellow...- CrimProf

I am wondering what is the number one thing preventing men from reaching there potential when it comes to dressing and fashion? Because half of us have below average IQs?- CrimProf

What do you think of this watch?
I don't know much about Orient watches except that I've heard of them and they seem respectable (for their price point). The only other watch I can think of that offers an automatic movement at that price is Invicta. But if you're looking for other quality watches at that price, don't forget...- CrimProf

(2/17: FOUND!!!!!!!!!) Help me pick out my 1st "big boy" Watch
FStyles, You asked about where to buy. Lots of good choices, but after hard thought and research a couple years ago I bought a Maurice LaCroix Croneo (MSRP $4,500) for around $1,600 from www.collectorstime.com. Zeetan's prices have gone up a bit as the dollar has sunk, but he is awesome to deal...- CrimProf

A Love Affair: Ralph Lauren
I agree with that. I wish the label was more discreet... That's why I only buy PRL cashmere cable sweaters; they have no labels on them. I have three and I need another one in pink!! By the way, since you are all experts... What's the deal with ebay? Does anyone buy PRL stuff from there? I...- CrimProf

Are high end watches (e.g., Patek) gaudy?
I suppose the anger (?) this thread has elicited answers the question for me...at least as far as SF is concerned, the answer to my question is "no". I really don't see why people are getting so bent out of shape. The watch I posted in my original post is a watch which I personally find...- CrimProf

Are high end watches (e.g., Patek) gaudy?
Think of the Patek as akin to purchasing a work of art. As most folks here have already said, almost nobody will be in the know enough to recognize the sheer class you have on your wrist. Those who are in the know will appreciate your taste and certainly not think the worse of you for it...- CrimProf

Who makes top quality & stylish (modern fit) cashmere turtlenecks?
I got an RRL turtleneck from the B&S forum for about $100, with a retail of $475 (sometimes they're a little more on the B&S forum, sometimes a little less; they're also on ebay). Wonderful cashmere and a trim cut to them.- CrimProf

Brummell Vs. Classical Style
If I understand the history, Brummell was always dressing above his station as he was continuously moving in circles above his station. True, but he was best friends with the Prince Regent and spent money like an accomplished Aristo. He did not socially mix with laborers and farmers.- CrimProf

Brummell Vs. Classical Style
Perhaps Brummell's comment could be best understood as a reaction to the prevailing fashion mode...the Fop. Sure, Brummell's clothing would have drawn attention. But for reasons of cut, simplicity, and elegance. Whereas the Fop was about ostentatious display, even to the point of looking (and...- CrimProf

Qualities of a Quality Suit
I've thought a lot about this, too, and so I could be very wrong here. Fit is part of it. For instance, I went from a JC Penney suit to a Hickey Freeman Madison & one thing right away I had to get used to was the high armholes (which meant I had to put the coat on a little differently) and the...- CrimProf
