    Vacation Recommendations (US)?

    I'm looking at going on a trip with the lady friend this summer, and we're looking to make one leg of the trip in a more outdoor setting (but not a camping trip). There are the obvious places (Yosemite, Sierras, Redwood National Park, Grand Canyon, etc.) but those are full of tourists. I know...

    Thread on tie weaves?

    Sometime last year I saw a post from one of the resident experts on tie construction with pictures, etc. on how different weaves are actually stitched together. I've spent half an hour searching (both google AND SF's search tool) and give up. I'm hoping someone in The Hive has a bookmark/better...

    The Hobbit (film series)

    I'm interested to see where they stop in the story. More details: -Peter Jackson is directing again -The film will be split in 2 parts and tell the hobbit and nothing else (originally it was going to be a "Hobbit" and a "bridge" film) -Howard Shore is back to dazzle with the score for both...

    Have you ever built a desk/table?

    Long story short: I'm interested in building myself a miniature desk/table to learn shop technique etc. Wondering if anybody's had similar experiences, how you went about drawing up your designs, figuring out loadbearing/sturdiness, and materials.

    Lightly Brogued Shoe?

    I'm growing more fond of brogued shoes, but I don't want a particularly large pattern (ala the AE Strands). Along those lines, here are some shoes similar to the style I want: http://www.styleforum.net/t/77167/your-favorite-allen-edmonds/0_100#post_1293390 The AE Chestnut Colton (now...

    Saks Suit Purchasing Advice

    So at the OSFA B1G1 sale, I was looking at a couple of their house suits. 2 button, unhemmed pleated trousers (personally more a fan of flat front), solid navy and charcoal. The fit was good throughout the body, no weird lapel business going on, half-canvassed. I found two issues that kept me...

    Do People Need GEDs?

    So I was having a discussion with some people and wasn't sure what the "correct" approach on this is. If someone has successfully graduated college from a foreign country, would it make sense for that person to get a GED here? I know some hiring managers don't care, but I also know...

    TV Shows with Laugh Tracks

    Shows that use laugh tracks need to be ******* destroyed. Laugh tracks are obnoxious. That is all.

    Resume Formats

    I'm looking at redoing my resume based on some discussions I've had. My current format makes heavy use of MS Word user-defined margins and bullets. What format do you guys all use? Also, here are categories I have, all with recent (<5 years) relevance: Education, work experiences, volunteering...

    Knots for Stubborn Ties

    What knots do you guys use for ties that just will not have skinny knots because of poor material, excess thickness, etc? I tried FIH, Prince Albert (double FIH) and both looked awful. Actually ended up settling for a half Windsor because it ended up the smallest.

    Couple of Shoe Problems

    So I have a pair of shoes that I believe I've broken in well (a few hours a week for the last ~4 months). When I walk it's very uncomfortable and sometimes even painful. The pain is knee pain I was going to be insoles but wasn't sure if it would make a difference. Any tips? They're rubber-soled...

    Suit Shoulder Width

    While looking through some old posts on the subject, I've seen many different opinions. Is there a way to tell if a suit is too large in the shoulders? I have a suit that extends a bit past my shoulder. I don't think it's particularly bad, but I've been told by some people that it looks too big...

    The Simpsons: Your Favorite Episode?

    This Black Friday I splurged and bought several seasons of The Simpsons (only the good ones though!) on DVD. I recently opened Season One and found that unlike other TV shows where you can select &quot;Play all episodes&quot; you had to manually select each 20 minute episode to play. Is this the...

    Looking for wool jacket

    Describing what I'm looking for is a bit hard, so I'll see if I can do a good job of it. Yes, I searched, but it's harder to search when you don't know how to describe it. I'm looking for a winter coat. Except I don't want it to be big outerwear meant for snow usage (eg: Columbia). I'm looking...

    Self-Teach Martial Arts?

    I've always been interested in learning martial arts, but I don't have an open enough schedule to enroll in any classes. Are there are other venues of which you guys know/personally have used to learn martial arts on your own? Is this even feasible?

    Saks 7 folds?

    I was at a Saks Off 5th the other day and was looking at some of their house brand ties. Is it a new thing where they have self-tipped six- and seven-folds? Or have I just missed some of their older styles in that fashion?

    Suit vs Shirts?

    So I have a bit of a dilemma: I have a few functions coming up for which I will need to wear a suit. I have two currently semi-decent (but nowhere near perfect) fitting suits that I could wear and a few shirts (but all of my classically conservative colors [e.g. solid whites, light blues] are...

    How to wear contrast collars?

    I have a few blue or maroon shirts with contrast white collars and white french cuffs (I envy the bankers ) that I like to wear under suits. I've always been a bit put off by wearing them with anything but a solid black suit, though. Which of the following are appropriate suits to wear over...
