How do I buy affordable (< $100), quality dress shirts for my "slim" frame?
I just moved to the US (Seattle) for work and I have to wear dress shirt everyday at work. I've been looking everywhere to find a nice slim fit dress shirt (Macy's, Nordstrom, etc.) but they are inexistent for my frame (neck is 15.5", sleeves 32", waist 32", inseam 32"). Where do you shop when you don't want to look like a bag in your shirt?
Mostly this an issue of perception.
I ran a high end Men's store for years...here are your options.
1st of all....a 151/2 collar for a 32 waist is well within the fit range of most shirts. It is your perception that you feel you look like a bag. You do not....among the professionals you will be dealing with, that is the style of dress. Look around you, no one wears slim fit clothes anymore....padded suits, pleated pants, wide lapels....fitted shirts with that style looks far worse than what you perceive as baggy.
However, since it is your money you're spending
1. You can try to find fitted shirts...they are not common, todays style are full fit...but there are out there...but you'll never find 'em at Nordstrom.
2. Buy 30 dollar shirts, no one will know the difference but you, and for the 70 bucks you save, take them to a tailor.
saddle bag where can i find the christian dior newspaper saddle bag?
i am desperatly searching for this christian dior newspaper saddle bag. does anyone kno where i can find it?
Well, since it's from his 2003 collection (or is it 2002?) it is definitly not going to be in any major store that I know of. You could try consigment and charity shops, or look around on Amazon and Ebay. If my information about the collection's year, please say so, because I very well may be wrong! However, I would still try a major cities shops or contact the Dior brand itself and ask if they know of any places that sell outdated/old collections. The very worst somebody can say is no.

Leather saddle Is it safe to use saddle soap on leather furniture?
I am looking for an inexpensive leather couch conditioner/protector. Is saddle soap OK to use?
Saddle soap is NOT GOOD for your leather furniture. It will make it look good but is actually harmfull in the long run... Lexol No Bull are a few good ones ... Then there is plain old H2o on a soft cloth..
Many of your store bought auto based leather cleaners seal up the leather to the point that it can not breath. A good condtioner needs to moisterise the leather as well as allow the leather absorb and react to the envirment its in... Saddle soap does not do this....

I am looking at a used saddle that I might buy. I rode in it today, and it is so comfortable. The only problem is that it has some minor cracking above the knee pads. Is it possible for these cracks to be repaired by a saddle repair shop? I am going to use the saddle for showing. The rest of the leather is in good condition. It is a very good price, and an expensive brand name. I couldn't find anything on the internet about fixing these cracks, only how to prevent them. Thanks!
Ps. I asked this in the general pets section, but I think more people will see it here.
Check this site out it tells you all about saddle care, and you can click on a link to ask the repair man a question. http://duckriver.ponyclub.org/TackCareRepair.html
Go to this site it will tell you how to fix those cracks good luck, but I would still ask the repairman on the previous site to be 100 %
Leather saddle Does anyone how to keep mold from growing back on a leather saddle?
Sorry, does anyone KNOW how to keep mold from growing back on a leather saddle
Here's info about leather:
Leather Structure The outside of the leather is known as the grain. It is covered with pores that helped maintain the living animal's fluid balance. After the hide is tanned the pores are passage ways that allow moisture to escape from the leather due to environmental conditions but also allow us to replace this moisture through the applications of oils & conditioners.
The middle layer is called the corium which is made of protein fiber and is the strength of the leather. Dirt and grime that enter through the pores into the corium break down the protein fibers and weaken the leather.
The bottom side is the rough. this little-finished side readily absorbs liquids and grime. Leather's worst enemy's are water, heat, dirt and salt from sweat.
Leather Storage Keep your light leather out of fluorescent lights & environmental elements as much as possible to help prevent darkening. All leather changes color as it ages but this will help to slow the process.
Always remember to store your saddles and tack in a dry, ventilated area and do not leave your tack in direct sunlight.
Barns, trailers or any other location that is continually subjected to temperature extremes may not be the ideal location for the storage of your tack.
For basic tack protection make sure you store it out of direct sunlight. Cover it up to keep dust off or other accidental scratches from occurring. Try to hang your tack or get it up off the ground.
Take humidity control measures such as removing wet saddle pads from your saddle and running a dehumidifier or fan in your tack room.
Leather Cleaning Leather tack should have a thorough cleaning every half dozen times it is used. For optimal results, tack should be wiped down with a damp cloth or sponge (or WEAVER WIPE) after each use to battle dirt and grime build up.
Also use the cleaning sessions to inspect your tack for wear and tear. (See "Think Safety" sheet.) Billets and cinch straps are the most critical checkpoints. As you are cleaning your tack look for thinning or creased leather, loosened stitches or stretched holes.
Even unused tack can deteriorate so make sure you examine all equipment before use.
Tack maintenance involves two essential processes and possibly a third: cleaning, conditioning, and sealing.
Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment on tack with deep tooling to remove dust. Dust collects in cracks and crevasses in the leather and clogs the pores. Make sure all dirt and dust is removed before oiling your tack to prevent the dirt from caking up.
To effectively clean your bridles and other strap goods it is best to take them completely apart. Cracks and closely fitting components are areas where filth collects most easily and weakness develop most readily.
Start by wiping down all equipment with a damp sponge or rag (or WEAVER WIPES) to remove all surface dirt.
Next apply a cleaner (Bick 1) with a damp sponge. Make sure you use a cleaner that is formulated to remove dirt and grime without drying out the leather.
To avoid darkening your leather, use wax-free formulas that remove stains caused by ink, food, soil, grease, and spur marks.
Make sure that you clean both sides of the leather. A toothbrush may be used to get into the cracks and crevices of the leather.
Wipe off all soft residues which will stiffen the leather if they are left to dry.
Allow the tack to air dry for about 10 minutes. Do not use any heat to dry the leather. Allow it to dry slowly and naturally.
Next apply a conditioner such as Bick4. Apply the conditioner to slightly damp tack using a soft cloth or sponge. Put a light coat on all surfaces and repeat with a second coat if it seems to absorb very quickly.
Different types of tack require different types of conditioning. Oil may be used on items constructed of thick leathers that are subjected to severe conditions such as western saddles or work harnesses. For other tack a conditioner such as Bick 4 may be all that is required.
Use 100 percent pure neatsfoot oil to oil your tack. Leather can only absorb a certain amount of oil before it is saturated. Using too much oil can cause leather to deteriorate. Simply wipe a small amount of oil on both sides of the leather with a clean rag.
The frequency of oiling your saddle depends on the condition of your leather. You do not need to oil your tack every time you clean it.
Clean your bit using a soft scrubbing brush. Pay attention to any broken or sharp areas.
Also remember to clean your girth to help keep your horse comfortable and to help prevent chafing and saddle sores.
Wet Tack When leather gets wet the oils that lubricate the leather form bonds with the water and they are washed away. This weakens the strength of the leather.
If your tack gets wet fairly often you may chose to waterproof it. This protects your tack from water damage with a moisture barrier that can't be penetrated in either direction.
Make sure your tack is well conditioned before waterproofing because conditioner cannot be added unless the waterproofing is removed with leather cleaner.
Glycerin soap is a commonly used leather sealer that is often mistakenly used as a cleaner. When applied before the conditioner it prevents any moisture from being absorbed into the pores. If using glycerin make sure it is applied after cleaning and conditioning. It leaves a waxy, protective coating that blocks moisture and makes for easy wipeoffs after riding.
If you tack does get soaked with water make sure you treat it before it dries completely. If let dry the leather will become stiff as a board.
Clean the leather thoroughly and then apply a few light coats of conditioner into the damp leather while the pores are still open. Allow to dry slowly and naturally.
Mold Molds are green, fuzzy spores that evade the core of the leather and weaken the fibers.
Molds can be cleaned off using a leather cleaner but once they have invaded the leather will likely return on humid days.
Clean, dry storage can help prevent molds. If molds have already gone into your leather's core you can treat it with white distilled vinegar. Simply go over your leather with a cloth dampened with vinegar and give four to six hours to work then clean and condition your tack as usual.
Leather Quality When purchasing tack make sure to chose products made of quality leather. Poor quality leather eventually stiffens and cracks no matter how much effort you put into maintaining it. Quality leather is well worth the higher price and is a one time investment that only improves with age and good care.
The origin of the leather should be stamped on the item or tag. Look for English, Canadian, German and American made leathers. These are the best quality materials used in tack on the market. I t should have a good clean "tack shop" smell as contrasted to the chemical or acid smell of the lower quality leathers. Good quality leathers should also be smooth, uniform thickness, and free of flaws. Cut edges will be smooth and evenly spaced.

What is the best leather oil to use to darken my new saddle and bridle?
I just received my new custom Schleese saddle, what is THE BEST leather oil and conditioner to darken it? I'd like my new bridle to darken considerably too.
Check with the manufacturer and see what they recommend. Some leather company's don't use the same tanning processes and its possible that using the wrong product could damage your tack. For example, Stuben uses a vegetable based tanning process, not chemical, and they created Haminol to clean and oil their products so as not to ruin the leather. If the company doesn't have a particular recommendation, you could try Lexol brand products. You won't have the stitch rotting or rancid smell you get with neatsfoot oil. One answer suggested "mink oil or neatsfoot oil they're the same thing". They are not the same. Mink oil is actually a cream used for waterproofing leather. It will darken the leather but the tone will not be consistant and it will look blotchy. Good Luck.
saddlebags for motorcycles Can I carry a billy club on a cross-country trip?
I will be traveling alone on a 5,000 mile motorcycle trip this Summer. I am 20, so cannot carry a concealed handgun. I could carry a handgun in my saddlebag, but would have to leave the ammo for it in the other saddlebag. (Which would be very useless.) I will be camping in remote areas the entire trip, so any weapon is more for defense against four-legged animals than anything.
I am considering carrying a swanky billy club which I made. Since I obviously do not have the Right to keep and bear firearms,(!) I'm curious as to how the law effects me carrying a large stick with me on my travels.
What laws might effect my carrying of a club? Do you have any other suggestions?
It would be best to ask a lawyer in your area.
But I am almost positive it doesn't matter. It's a stick. As long as you don't threaten anyone with it or damage property you should be fine.
Oh, just don't tell anyone you're REALLY going baby seal hunting, that's frowned upon.
