It's easy to read newspaper headlines wrong. Every time I see "IMF blah blah blah" my mind reads "Impossible Mission Force blah blah blah". I knew a guy who used to work at a shipping gazette here and put the word "reefer" (refrigerated shipping container) into as many headlines as possible...

The main point of the comment was that I got better treatment/service because I was wearing a tie (and a suit). Wine is served even in cattle class, as is beer and spirits. Come to think of it, cattle class also has cheese and crackers, though they're those jatz-type things in little plastic...

I was literally upgraded to business class on long-haul flights. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was treated like "business class".

When I first starting wearing nice (and pricey) leather shoes I also noticed a few regrettable knocks around the toe cap area. For a couple days I paid a lot of attention to how I walked and what I did with my feet. I noticed I was knocking them going up stairs, hitting the toe on chair legs...

It is without a doubt a very worthy addition. I once had coffee spilt on my favourite EG suede wholecuts and after a quick shampoo they were good as new. Plus, even with regular brushing and cleaning, the colour darkens/dirties after a while and the Omni'nettoyant cleans all that out. You can...

I was getting into running right before I got my dog and had to replace it with walking. With at least an hour, sometimes more, of walking a day, there's not much extra time for running. Gyms in Hong Kong are no place to be, so I try to fit in a workout routine at home whenever I can. Lot of...

Great tip! First time coming across this website. Thanks.

What was the make of your bag? LE is Lands End?

Thanks for the responses guys. I currently have a softsided briefcase (with unpadded interior) from Satchel & Page that I used for regular day-to-day work. I like the simplicity (and working buckles). However, it's a little rough/rugged in finish (can't really tell from the photo) so I'm...

Our honour has been restored!

I also read red and was confused until Mr.Inappropriate corrected you (and me in the process).

This. I like to wear a suit and tie when I fly, I've been upgraded more than once on flights where cattle-class was overbooked. Other passengers I saw were in jeans and tees or something similar and I believe it was the way I dressed that directly led to me getting the upgrade over another...

Was this an issue with your particular case, (e.g. a thin width) or something common to this type of bag?

I couldn't find any previous threads on this, and I think the trad forum is the more appropriate place to post this, so... I'm looking to getting a hardsided bag to take to work with me. I currently have a leather briefcase but it's softsided. I'm not sure of the exact differences between a...
