    Shoe Damage - Fixable?

    Is this worth it? Or is it just obvious, like patching a pair of pants? Any other thoughts on saving the shoes with the damaged finish? And finally, does anyone have recommendations on where in New York to get these fixed?

    Shoe Damage - Fixable?

    Hey guys - Unfortunately I have three pairs of shoes that have accumulated damage over the last year or so. Is it possible to fix this damage? If so, where should I take them and how much will it cost? I live in NYC, but I'm also willing to ship them out if I can get a better result / value...

    The (hopefully) definitive thread on NYC tailors

    Does LNC do a good job of giving you advice/telling you what needs to be done for a good fit? I know pretty much that I want a tailored look and how I want my pants to break, but I don't really know what needs to be done otherwise - will he be able to help with this or will I need to accurately...

    How do C&Js sizes convert to US sizes? If I am an 11.5D in Allen Edmonds, what would this be in C&J size? An 11E I'm thinking?

    The best 40-42" flat panel HDTV money can buy

    check out www.avsforum.com - the guys there are really knowledgeable and should be able to tell you quickly what the right answer is. But yes, calibration will probably be essential to getting the best picture.

    Jantzen, Reliable at last?

    I have noticed that things have been getting much better as well. A colleague of mine ordered for the first time and received his first shirt in about 2 weeks, submitted another order and received that one in about two weeks as well. I submitted a 5 shirt order, received a call informing me...

    Briefcase Appreciation thread

    Has anyone tried using shoe cream to darken the color of a brown bag? I have a pretty generic tan bag that I would like to try to use aharris's shoe darkening/antiquing method on, but just want to make sure it won't screw it up.

    Choosing between 2 NYC apartments

    This is really the craziest apartment search ever. Maybe this is commonplace for NYC, but this is really strange. So apparently another application went in a few hours after ours to the Chelsea place. The landlords liked him better since he could qualify by himself and wasn't using grants for...

    Choosing between 2 NYC apartments

    Maybe we'll try that tomorrow. I think that the landlord doesn't like that we are trying to make them act so fast, and since they have another applicant they can afford to be selective. We'll see how it goes tomorrow. If we do end up having to live in the Fidi, at least it is only for one...

    Choosing between 2 NYC apartments

    It's pretty far away, the place is on Wall Street. This hunt is really stressful. I'm leaving town for 3 weeks so now we are considering coming back around June 26-27th and looking to get a place for July 1, since on second thought my girlfriend really doesn't want to live in the Financial...

    Choosing between 2 NYC apartments

    There were a couple of options in Midtown, but I didn't really like it too much. I like the feel of the West Village/Chelsea village area a lot. The buildings are smaller, it feels more "neighborhood" like, which is a comment I kind of laughed at earlier but one that I seem to care about...

    Choosing between 2 NYC apartments

    I'm working in Rockefeller Center, she's going to Fordham Law. This will be my first time living in NYC, and I really like the Chelsea place. True 1BR also which is a plus. Thanks for the advice everyone.

    Choosing between 2 NYC apartments

    Hopefully those of you who chimed in on the previous thread about brokers can help me out. I've been looking for places since Saturday, and have put down an application fee for two different places. Now I am just trying to decide between the two. I'm living with my girlfriend, so space is a...

    ebay suits, sportcoats, and other clothing

    http://cgi.ebay.com/New-3K-POLO-RALP...QQcmdZViewItem Does anyone know how old this is/who it is made by? I have a 38R sport coat that fits like a glove. It is double vented though - is this going to be different from that? The labels are the same and both are made in Italy, but the tag with...

    Food, Sights, Nightlife in Houston?

    Aybojs post is really good and informative. I am really partial to El Tiempo though, so I will put that in as my recommendation, though the original Ninfa's is quite good as well. I also agree with the BBQ comments - Austin and its surrounding areas are probably the place to go for BBQ, Goode...

    Food, Sights, Nightlife in Houston?

    What are you looking for in terms of nightlife? Wild and crazy, laid back, etc. As far as food, Da Marco is probably the best restaurant in Houston. It is near Mark's on the eastern end of Westheimer. You are going to want to eat Mexican food though since you are visiting Houston. I recommend...
