If you often find yourself sitting about at home in your pajamas, chances are that now and again someone comes to the door. This happens to me more than it used to, since I spend so much time here perusing the internet for job openings. I mean to say, one gets out of bed, eventually, and the... Comment - Like

Where have I been, indeed. If this blog has any followers left, may I say that you are among the most loyal, and dare I say fanatical, fans in the whole sartorial world.
In fact, I've been here. I mean, not staring at a blank page thinking of things of which to write, but here, in the wor... Comment - Like

Trenches in World War I were muddy, messy, dangerous places; the sort that could cave in, the kind where diseases lurked and bullets whizzed by you from an enemy sometimes as close as 30 yards away. Just beyond your cozy bunker, bombs were being lobbed into no man's land, or into your tren... Comment - Like

I'm probably "preaching to the choir," but I'm going to "bite the bullet" and "tell it like it is." So, consider this an "FYI" and "man up" (unless you're a woman, in which case, don't). Well, that's a few of the most commonly used cliche phrases anyway. Annoying, isn't it? Most of us let them sl... Comment - Like

Most of you have probably heard this phrase, as uttered by that intrepid, tough, red-blooded American chap who could actually prove he was born in the USA and who even grew up here: Obama! Ah, no, sorry, got my notes mixed up. Right, here's the bird: Teddy Roosevelt!

On the old website you may notice a new comment with yesterday's Harris Tweed post. It is from Justin Luddington, and I draw attention to it because he has an opinion on the matter that is worthy of merit:

A martini requires good gin. Cheap gin may be fine for drinks that are heavily mixed with other elements, but a martini is mostly gin—there’s no where for it to hide. Thankfully, good gin can be had even on a fairly tight budget.
