    Official Guitar, Amp, Pedals, and Gear Thread

    That's a great deal for a MIJ P Bass - well done!

    Official Guitar, Amp, Pedals, and Gear Thread

    Very cool. Hope this works out for you. The Aerodyne marketed in the US was extremely limited - only in black and basically one config. However there were P and J bass versions in multiple configs and colors specific to Japan. Looking forward to see what you got and how you like it.

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    I was in downtown San Francisco today on Geary, between Grant and Kearny when, much to my surprise, I saw a storefront with the Carmina logo. There were some people inside so I attempted to open the door and found it to be locked. Soon one of the staff came over and opened the door to let us...

    Strong US dollar provides a chance to get a MIJ Fender Aerodyne Bass for a decent price. For example: https://intl.ishibashi.co.jp/products/05-2800002254283?_pos=52&_fid=8b8be857f&_ss=c

    Leather coin purse, Italian (Florentine?)

    I used to have one of those from Whitehouse & Cox that I liked but it seems they recently folded unfortunately. It looks like Ettinger, Turnbull & Asser and others have something similar. Poking around the interwebs I see this shop with several models that might come close to what you have...

    Best way to remove ear wax?

    Once upon a time I noticed some unexpected hearing loss in one ear. Went to the doctor and he told me there was wax build up and that they would flush it out. They did and it was like nothing ever happened. I asked the nurse what they'd used and she told me it was a mixture of things but the...

    S.E.H Kelly

    Although I live in the US, I was in London last weekend and was hoping to try on a balmacaan for size. I stopped by Boundary St on the 29th & 30th on the off chance that the lights would be on. Unfortunately for me, no such luck. So, a couple questions about sizing and construction if I may...

    ALTERATIONS Tailor in SAN FRANCISCO

    I'd brought two pairs of newly purchased chinos to have the legs tapered from the knee. Trying them on after the alteration I found that they had actually been taken in AT the knee and done in such a way that the outside seam was twisting inward. I mentioned that there must have been a...

    ALTERATIONS Tailor in SAN FRANCISCO

    I'd been using Martinez Tailoring for the past few years and had been mostly happy but the last few projects were a surprising disappointment. It's a shame I won't be able to use them anymore.

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    Thanks @bernoulli - I may have passed it over earlier for looking a bit muted in comparison to some of the other options.

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    Looking to commission a pair of pants with a glen check pattern. Something that leans to wearing cooler in warmer climates but can still hold a crease reasonably well. So far I'm considering: Drapers / VBC 18001 and 5305 Huddersfield "Sunny Season Classics III" 153426 Dugdale "Tropicalair" 4700...

    John Smedley Appreciation Thread

    I recently picked up a polo from JS in Anglo Indian Gauze and it did seem to wear cooler than plain merino for me. I didn't notice too much difference between it and a jersey knit Sea Island cotton polo I'd been wearing around the same time.

    ALLEN EDMONDS APPRECIATION THREAD EDITION 2O22

    Looking through my past order history with Amazon, I've purchased and kept pairs of: McClain, McTavish, San Marco, Strand and Randolph The only time I've returned a pair (Elgin) had to do with fit rather than finish. So maybe I've been extremely lucky with AE Amazon purchases...

    Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread

    Last December I visited Kiyo's new workshop in Saitama. While we were discussing an existing project, he mentioned that while he was previously only offering MTO, he was partnering with another shoemaker to add bespoke as an option. He didn't mention who he was partnering with nor the starting...

    I was admiring that chalk stripe suit when seeing it at the trunk show @ SF. Nice job!

    Best all-around chinos?

    @cedarlake23 The pair you linked to at the Armory look somewhat similar to this pair by Buzz Rickson at about half the price.

    the profoundly unofficial I Sarti Italiani thread

    Stopped by the SF trunk show last night. It was good to see Salvo again and to have a chance to catch up with Peter. Glad to have I Sarti Italiani back on the circuit and hoping this trip is a success.
