Trying on Mr. Portnoy's crown for a day
Voxsartoria, I've asked a question or two in the cross-posting in the thread on Buenos Aires in the London Lounge.- rws

Vass Three Part Shoe Trees
I've one pair of Vasses, massmade on the "U" last, which I ordered with three-part shoetrees. They fit snugly -- perfectly -- as though they'd been made from the same last as the shoes they go into. Perhaps (as another poster pointed out) the solution lies in ordering both shoes and...- rws

Leather Embossing
If you mean not "embossed" (that is, raised above the surrounding surface) but "stamped" (sunk below the surrounding surface), you should be able to find what you seek in any good leather-goods shop or, say, the luggage department at Bergdorf's.- rws

Lengthening coat sleeves
This statement puzzles me. Does the writer imply that extra material in a suit might come from trousers or waistcoat, or does he imply that sportcoats are made with smaller cloth allowances than suit coats?- rws

Cuff cleaning question
I suggest taking the shirt to a laundry. A good laundry will remove the stains, wash the shirt carefully, and press it to perfection -- all for just two or three dollars.- rws

Edward Green shoes
(rws @ 14 Nov. 2004, 8:24) Where may a non-Japanese view "Ryori No Tetsujin", and what does that title translate to? "Iron Chef". Â I think the Food Network still shows re-runs (the show stopped airing in 2000, if memory serves me correct). koji Thanks, koji. I've seen the show two or three...- rws

Need some advice on a girl problem
I'm curious to know, GQgeek, what -- if anything -- has happened in the weeks since your quandry developed. Having endured similar torment, I'd think that there'd be little lasting good that might come of the situation. Â But, as the woman is young, perhaps she might muster the courage to act...- rws

caps and hats
I'm near you, Globetrotter. In cold weather I occasionally wear a "trooper-style" hat in dark brown beaver; aside from a rare compliment, it's never drawn attention.- rws

Business Trip - What should I take?
Caballero, you'll find BA not only a lovely city -- about as Parisian as you'll find in the southern hemisphere -- but about as businesslike as you'll find in Latin America. That means that men always wear coat and tie, generally suits, and generally somewhat subdued. I doubt you'd go wrong with...- rws

Shoe polishing movie
Help my failing eyes. At the outset of "cirage", the polisher pours a creamy liquid from a small plastic bottle. I don't think that the bottle contains water, but I can't discern (and didn't read) what the liquid is. Would any poster be so kind as to let me know what it is?- rws

The bottom of your shoes
Years ago, I learned that Spanish noblemen (well, at least some members of the Spanish nobility) were nearly fanatical about having the entire soles of their shoes polished. The aesthetic desire seemed to have been to present a monochrome appearance on the foot (indeed, I don't remember seeing...- rws

The art of properly wearing a tuxedo
A few thoughts, John, where I might diverge from Will's solid advice. If (as it sounds) your peak-lapelled dinner coat is single-breasted, a black (silk) waistcoat would be better worn than a cummerbund (which is suited for a shawl-collared dinner coat). With a double-breasted dinner coat -- a...- rws

Cufflinks out of price!!!!
(T4phage @ 03 Sep. 2004, 11:19) Those RTW cufflinks are quite expensive since a few are in gold, some (semi-precious) gems, and the handwork required to create them. Expensive = 3 or 4 times the price of a pair of the same metal anywhere If Ernest or anyone else can post contact information for...- rws
