Anyone have reccs for linen sprays and/or closet and drawer scents? I picked up a hinoki sachet at a store recently and tried it in a dresser. It smelled great and infused the clothes, but only lasted a week or two. As I embark down this rabbit hole, curious what people here use to freshen clothing storage, if anything.

There’s a new fit from suitsupply called the “Mira” trouser with a double pleat. It’s just slightly over, falling just under $200. Certainly worth checking out though! It’s a high waist and straight-full leg! Super cool look

Thanks, but those look a bit too slim for what I’m looking for.

Oh nice! I’ll go check these out in store later this week.

Now, they only come in a few colors, so you might be limited but keep in mind that they can do that style in custom for like $50 more (I think, don’t quote me on the price). But it’s such a cool fit. I always loved slim pants but I wore those a couple times and fell in love! Keep us updated!
Edit- also look at the Sortinos. They are a wide leg. They may be too full for what you’re looking for, but consider them too!

Any interesting shopping in New Orleans? Going mainly for a bachelor party but I’m arriving a day early and want to do see some art and maybe do some shopping before the shenanigans start.

@btatedash How about https://www.casatlantic.com/?

NOLA isn't really a menswear city but Friend in the Ace Hotel is kinda cool. You can also pop into UAL while you're walking around the Quarter

If I'm getting a western belt made, what's the difference between harness or bridle leather? It'll likely be black if that makes a difference.

 

[Reginald Bartholomew]

Harness is stiffer and bridle has a softer feel, generally, though also I've seen more than a few people use those terms in ways divorced from the original functional definitions.

@LA Guy would it be ok to scrape one thread (JMM one, 1k pages) at low speed (one page at a time), to get some stats (most mentioned models over time, etc, I’d like to try Datasette for this) that I’d post in the thread. I see nothing in robots.txt to disallow it (some sites disallow everything by Google, bah) but I thought I’d ask first anyway.

I'm okay with this (limited) exercise - pretty interested in the data for JMM, honestly. It mght be good to wait until later in evening Eastern or Pacific time just in case it slows down the site. Please do send me the results before posting, of you don't mind.

Thanks, will do. I don’t even know when I’ll have the time, a full time job plus a toddler leaves little time for this stuff.
