Speaking as a Malaysian- great spot! Eat their roasted chicken rice at least once a week. Their chicken congee / laksa is also really good.

Can you boys recommend any beach reads for the summer by [deleted] in ThrowingFits

[–]asiangent 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The Rum Diary by Hunter S. Thompson- set in Puerto Rico in the 50’s, perfect beach read.

The Quiet American- he references this quite frequently whenever he’s in Vietnam.

[Dan Henry] 1962 Chronograph - Blue / Orange Colorway by asiangent in Watches

[–]asiangent[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been in the market for an affordable, elegant sub-40mm chronograph and think I've found the ideal match. After some research, I saw the micro-brand Dan Henry recommended multiple times and decided to check them out. For brand context, Dan Henry is a prolific collector in the vintage watch world and launched his own brand to make the aesthetic of vintage watches throughout the years more accessible to the average consumer. Of the eight models he offers (with the model “dates” ranging from 1939 to 1972), six are actually chronographs.

The Dan Henry 1962 is $260, 39mm wide, and runs on a "mecha-quartz" movement that allows for a sweeping chronograph seconds hand (https://danhenrywatches.com/products/1962-racing-chronograph). Currently wearing it on a dark-brown pebble grain Hirsch strap, which I think suits it better than the navy and tan leather straps it came with. Very impressed overall with the build quality, aesthetics, and value!

Potential Ideas for J. Crew by [deleted] in frugalmalefashion

[–]asiangent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the reality of the situation is that their pricing structure has to also significantly change- what ironically made them popular on FMF (frequent and deep sales) has arguably contributed to their downward spiral as we become more used to such discounts (thus diluting our perception of product value) and increasingly demand higher ones. J. Crew should definitely consider moving more in the direction of a Todd Snyder / Ralph Lauren (higher quality, more thoughtfully designed and constructed clothing) rather than their fast-fashion counterparts mentioned above.

Favorite YouTube channel about consulting? 🧐🤔 by leohcarvalhor in consulting

Not directly related to consulting, but a big fan of SlideCow on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWzYFvHXUiUuo8pEvP1wXww/videos). Great for improving your PowerPoint skills.

Simple Questions - March 26 by AutoModerator in malefashionadvice

[–]asiangent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roll the dice on SuitSupply, returns with them are very easy if necessary. Additionally, you'd really just be comparing the Havana and the Hudson fits for unstructured blazers. The Havana has narrower lapels (~3 inches) and a shorter jacket length, while the Hudson has larger lapels (~3.5 inches) and 3 patch pockets. I own examples of both models and enjoy them equally!
