I'm confused by the way you are using the term "tailored". To me a tailored shirt is always assembled by a tailor to fit your body. If you need to find the correct size, it is by definition not tailored. If you buy bespoke suits, I've always found it easy and simple to buy shirts at the same...

I recommend WODtimer. its a basic programmable interval training tool for free. WOD Timer on the App Store on iTunes

Recently I started making my own greek yoghurt. Its dead simple, takes zero effort, and is cheaper than store bought. If greek yoghurt is a regular part of your diet, I suggest looking into making your own. You also have more control over the taste and texture.

Three reasons: 1. Its easier to mix and match your shirts with pants/shoes/ties if you stick to the three colors I mentioned. tan/brown looks less professional/corporate, more smart casual than business casual. 3. Its easier to make fashion faux pas with tan/brown. Brown is a fine color for...

Careful not to overdress. If an engineer who is seldom called to meet with any management walks into a meeting ad hoc in a tailored shirt, mgmt might draw the conclusion he is a schmuck trying to impress someone. For this guy, I would suggest having a warbrobe that gives the impression of...

If you are coming from polos and jeans to wearing business casual every day, dont bother getting some famous or expensive brand like brooks brothers. Just go to whatever department store and find something that fits well, is cheap, and has a deal for like 5 or more. Then find a similar deal...

You can't go wrong with the GO. Classic, clean and quality. The breitling is only interesting because its using the new in house movement. It will be more difficult to pair the chronograph with suits, and you really can't wear it with black tie. If its your first watch, I would choose the...

I would think it odd if this topic wasn't brought up before moving in together, particularly by the girl. It really depends how formal you want to make it. If you just want her to "help out" with some stuff, then allocate some regular bills she feels are fair then leave it at that. I think...

i would always choose the cheaper suit that fits better over the more expensive suit than fits poorly. Nobody is going to know or care about what brand suit you wear.

Grand Cru wines are tasty, sure, but imo not worth the price. There really isn't any need to spend more than 100 euros on a bottle of wine unless you want to impress someone.

Could you actually sell the property now for 350k after only four months? Are there comparables nearby that have sold for similar amounts? If so, this represents a return of 650% /annum. If the net profit from the deal (150k less costs) represents a significant portion of your net work (over...

It retails for just under 10k (new), I get 20% off through my usual jewelry/watch AD. The rose gold version is really beautiful, but too rich for my blood (I think it was 18k). I would normally buy used, but this model is less than 2 years old and very difficult to find one except online...

I don't judge if people don't enjoy a fine timepiece or find it useful, but I happen to appreciate them and find it very useful for business. As this particular piece was a gift, I will wear it for a few decades and then pass down to my son. Not that it matters, but at my office it is not...

I got a really nice father's day gift from the wife.

I will put a second mention in for Hong Kong Tailors. You cannot go wrong with either of the ones prescient has mentioned, but I will also add Tai Pan Row tailors to the mix.http://www.taipanrow.com/index_main.html They will be in New York from June 16 to June 21. I personally own 3 suits...

J&M quality went in the shitter when they closed their Tennessee factory and moved all production overseas to thailand or wherever. They are now clumped in the same sellout category with cole haan and kenneth cole. It is pretty much down to AE and alden for american shoes, I think there might...

I wear suits basically every day, and have bought expensive and cheap alike, so here is my experience. My problem with suits is that they tend not to last more than 5 years before they start to look like shit/lose form/threadbare if you wear them regularly. This means you need between 5-10...

Ferragamo shoes are actually quite decent. They have 3 levels of quality, the highest being Tramezza, with full grain leather, good year welted, and all that stuff that shoe snobs care about. Ive owned pairs from all three lines and never been disappointed with even the lowest quality SF...

Fresh caught sweetlip pan fried with ginger and spring onion. Alive 1 hour later

allen edmonds are among the top made american dress shoes. I tend to favour italian shoe makers - ferragamo, artigiano, magnanni, all make excellent oxfords, some I have had over a decade and still look as good as the day I bought them. I have not had good experience with church's, I felt the...

its not possible to determine your calorie intake from your description - give a normal macro breakdown. To determine how much you will lose, you should base it off TDEE - intake to calculate the deficit. At 80kg weight, the most you should be losing is .5-1 kg / week, if all fat would...

Roasted leg of lamb with pancetta rosemary and sage. served with roasted red onions in a thyme butter sauce.

Should have said "did not have bacon handy". It wasn't a deliberate replacement. jeez people, relax.

Chalk it up to regional differences then. cufflinks can be formal, but they are also used for quite the opposite. Guys will wear some pretty whimsical links depending on their mood; animals, action figures, vehicles, whatever they feel like. Its used as a way to show your personality. I will...

Maybe in the US, but not in europe or asia. Cufflinks are pretty standard if you favour french cuffs, but they don't have to be anything other than silk knots. They are very common in office wear.

Roast Poussin Saw Jamie oliver'sroast poussinepisode, was inspired to do my own. replaced bacon with carrots, and used a dutch oven instead of a tray. served with peas.

cufflinks are just another accessory. You don't need to wear them, but neither do you need to wear a watch or a good leatherware.

Do you really need a suit every day or will business casual with a tie suffice? 600 USD might get you one suit, but there are a lot more items to fill the wardrobe. Shoes, belts, ties, cufflinks, shirts can easily exceed the cost of the suit itself. You might want to just pick up a few pairs...

I lived in Miami for 6 months. I enjoyed the fishing, the food, the low housing cost and the weather. I didn't really like the people much, doing business, or the dating scene.

Lamb shank stew cooked in a dutch oven with red wine reduction sauce served over cous cous. takes 3 hours but well worth it.

Jamie Oliver's Double nut cholocate torte - thing is delicious but fucking expensive. The ingredients cost me 40 USD total. http://www.food.com/recipe/jamie-oli...e-torte-277695

Japan seldom exports kobe beef outside japan, but there is plenty of wagyu breed cattle available, particularly from australia. Kobe beef is really rich, i wouldnt be able to eat an entire steak of it, because its tantamount to eating a stick of butter. Best served as small pieces grilled...

2 weeks is a lot for hong kong. stanley is mostly a tourist open air shopping area, you can get trinkets and other stuff meant for tourists to buy. Mongkok markets are much more local. it really depends on what you like to do. Hong Kong has good food of all sorts, nice nightlife, plenty of...

Kagoshima teriyaki Pork chop (bone in) served with bbq sweet potato and grilled green chilis. Serve with a light beer.

Caught a 1.5 kilo Yellowfin Sea Bream and baked in the oven fresh - chives, parsley, lemon, butter, white wine. score the flesh for even cooking. Serve with beer of choice.

I remember a post a few pages back that mentioned you borrowed to finance the capex? At what point do you need to start servicing the debt, and how will that affect your monthly fixed cost?

So if you meet break even mark its basically a 60 hour work week earning aprox $8.50 an hour. What type of growth do you expect in the first few years? Is that growth limited to walk in customers, or can you grow other ways? I know basically nothing about fish stores, but could sales...

Nice to see you did the calculation. Roughly how many hours per week are you working?

how much sales do you need to make on average / day to break even and or a living wage (at least 3k/month)? what are the major fixed costs/amounts other than rent? (850).
