  1. Timeless Style
    I went into a shoe store looking for conditioner for dress shoes, the tailor gave me mink oil. I applied it to one shoe and wiped it off, now it won't take a shine anymore! How do I strip it off? What do I do???
  2. The Interchange
    I don't often stop in anymore, but when I do, there's only 3 threads showing up (one a sticky from the mods.) At what point did things die off around here? Maybe it's poor memory, but did this coincide with the results of the last election?

    Hypothetically, if Obama won the election, what would you do? I'm just curious because the interchange is the most right-wing forum I participate in. Michael Moore and some people were talking about "I'm moving to Canada if Bush wins" back in 2004.

    I'm interested in these trousers, but only discovered the brand through a link in another thread. Can anyone comment on the quality of their products? Can anyone give any indication of the fit of the trousers (particularly the rise)? I generally like a pair of trousers that sit below the navel...

    Just curious if anyone has a CT Covert Coat that they can post pics of. The website pics aren't that great, and I'm very curious to hear feedback from people. Being in Edmonton, reasonably priced overcoats of decent quality are few and far between. Anyone got some pics of theirs?

    It is a silly question, but I need an answer. I have a few pairs of Mohair/Wool pants from Reiss I recently acquired. I just put them with a belt to go somewhere and noticed to my surprise, there aren't any loops on the front of the pants. The first loops start at my hips and go around the back...

    Perhaps this has been covered before... if so, apologies. Maybe its because the only British newspaper I find over-the-top and entertaining enough to read is the Daily Express, but it seems the UK is all doom and gloom nowadays. There seems to be these moral panics about immigrants and the EU...

    I'm in London from the July 19 to August 3. I'm familiar with all the usual spots for shopping, but would like to know what if anything I can expect from the summer sales. Will all the good stuff be picked over by then? Are discounts usually quite generous, or negligible? Do stores hide the...
  9. The Interchange
    I was flipping channels on Sunday and came across an interesting piece on CBC news which I thought would make an interesting topic for discussion. It was a piece about the San Diego wildfires (I have no idea how recent this was, maybe it related to fires some time ago.) It showing that while...

    It's a real, fully functional flying tourbillon watch and it only costs $600. The only catch is it's made in China. I personally would hesitate to wear one, but I just discovered they existed which boggles my mind.
  11. The Interchange
    Has anyone here ever purchased anything from a police auctions? Like jewelry, sports equipment, cars, etc? I've seen advertisements in newspapers from time to saying millions in seized watches and jewelry and other goods up for auction, but I have no idea how it works, or if it's even a good...

    I've been looking at Cartier watches for a few weeks now and am torn between two models in particular. The Santos 100 with the leather strap and the Solo Ronde. The Santos is an oversized automatic, and runs about $5.5K, but the Solo Ronde is much thinner and low profile with a quartz movement...

    This story has such a surprise ending, I suspect it may be all made up.

    I was in Harry Rosen yesterday and they got a new book of Canclini fabrics which seem very nice. I got one from the Shambala collection which is a petrol-blue with very high lustre (almost silk-like) even though its cotton. Has anyone had any experience with Canclini fabrics before?

    A few local stores have recently started carrying Cole Haan outerwear (the non-leather items.) I think some of their designs are a nice blend of conservative and contemporary. Can anyone comment on the quality of these garments?
