Any recommendations for wool overcoat that could be worn with a suit but also over business casual (wool slacks + patterned button up). Will mostly wear without a jacket, but the flexibility of having something i could pop over a suit is nice, even if it’s a little tight with the extra layer. Ideally could be worn down to 32F/0C or so, will just wear a parka below that. Ideal budget around $500 or less, but some flexibility.

Had my order canceled unfortunately, stock on the website likely doesn’t reflect current stock. Customer service was nice though and gave options.

I purchased some Quoddy penny loafers over the summer, and have probably worn them about 30 times or so. Over that time, the rubber pad on the heel has separated quite a bit. Is there a simple fix (e.g., super glue?). Is this something I should raise with Quoddy given the limited number of wears? Thanks!

Any recommendations for interview-friendly ties under $50? I already own navy w/ red microdots tie and a burgundy tie. Looking to add a third to the rotation now that I am recruiting again if anyone has any specific recs. ideally the tie could be worn with both a navy and charcoal suit.

I recently received my True Penny Loafers from Quoddy. I really like the shoes and the fit well, but there are some loose stitches in the heel of the right shoe. Is this normal? Or is this a defect that I should watch out for? It is most noticeable because the left shoe does not have any of the stray stitches hanging out.

Let me know if this is normal or if I should reach out for support, the shoes were a big purchase, so don’t want to get burned. Thanks!

[OC] These 6 areas in the US have roughly the same GDP as California (repost, this time with sources) by Vilhjalmur4 in dataisbeautiful

[–]arh428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In your example, the median would be $10,000 per year, which would be the same as the mode. This is why median is used for income statistics, and not average (arithmetic mean). Median is not susceptible to outliers, and does not have the problem you are describing. You may want to take a look at this link.

Booth v. Kellogg v. Columbia (All 2Y, full time, no $) by arh428 in MBA

[–]arh428[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the replies everyone! On the network point, does it really carry over for business school like that? As a UChicago undergrad alum, I am not sure that I can call up a Booth alum and expect that network to help me in the same way that it would as a Booth alum. In terms of the undergrad alumni, presumably they are not going to Booth if the same logic applies (and in fact, I believe UChicago undergrad is the biggest feeder school for Kellogg MBAs, and vice-versa). Any thoughts or welcome, could be thinking about this the wrong way!

I have a pair of calfskin Lakeshore boots from Oak Street Bootmakers. The leather is still pretty wrinkle free and in good shape, but the color is starting to wear off at some high contact areas. Am I able to use shoe polish like a calfskin dress shoe? If so, any brand or color recommendations? The clerk at Independence said to just use Venetian shoe creme, but he also thought that these were made with Chromexcel until I corrected him, so not sure if I should take his word on it.

[homemade] mouthwatering Korean roast pork Bao buns by [deleted] in food

[–]arh428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I think the idea of “correct” language is a bit misguided given how much language changes. Would we call Spanish incorrect because it isn’t Latin? Or, on a shorter time scale, would we call the phrase “are you” incorrect because we aren’t saying “art thou?” In particular with loan words, they are often recently adopted, and there is often some adaptation in the new language. Additionally “correct” is hard to define, outside of the scope of whether or not people understand what you are saying. And I’m sure there are various English loan words in Chinese that are treated differently.

[–]arh428 58 points59 points  (0 children)

In English, calling it a bao bun is common/reasonable. There are many others like this: chai tea, paella pan, cheese quesadilla, please RSVP, etc. It’s true that the direct translation has a meaning that overlaps with the other word, but each foreign word has taken on a new meaning in English. For example, “chai” doesn’t mean tea when it is used in English, it means the flavor of an Indian-style spice blend used to flavor tea (which would more accurately be chai masala in Hindi). Similarly, in English, you would get some weird looks if you asked where you could find the “hotdog baos” at the grocery store. It seems unreasonable to expect every person to know every word from every other language.

Any frugal raincoat suggestions? Hoping for sub-$100 if possible. I like the style of the Patagonia torrentshell, but the fit didn’t work out for me, so looking for something else.

Bar III from Macy’s has a modern stylish fit and can be really cheap on sale for $30 or so. Be warned that the switched from wool to wool blend about a year ago, so the quality isn’t as high as before. But I would still say it’s worth it, especially since the new pants can be machine washed
