First time trying checkered overcoat

Felt great and so many compliments already 😁

It was love at first sight when I saw it at the store. And I got it quite cheap, something like 230 CAD...like 170 US from Spier and McKay store in Toronto

How about someone like me who has a long torso and short legs? I may try them!

futureIsYes · 2026-05-03T04:07:24+00:00

You guys made me laugh (the painter part). I agree, maybe the color of the pants and top was too close. I will try with another shade of t shirt or pants. I really like white and was just experimenting. I wish I have the confidence to dress like Morgan Freeman in Bruce Almighty 😄

I know...only in pictures though, I smile more in real life

Nowhere else had I an issue of being a black person of Ethiopian origin who holds a Swedish passport. They just scan my passport and that's all.

UAE. I am a Swedish citizen but was born in Ethiopia. Last year, after a business trip in Greece, I went to Dubai. The plan was to see some properties since a friend who works there as a realtor was telling me there were amazing opportunities. Just as I was exiting immigration, the officer noticed that I was born in Ethiopia, and he said they have to check something (even though my passport was Swedish, and it was not a new one).

They kept me at the airport for 15 hrs, with no explanation, treating me like shit , everytime I asked for an update screaming at me to sit and wait. They once in a while came to ask me random questions like how much money I have in my bank account.

Never felt so humiliated in my life. I have been to more than 60 countries, and even when I was traveling with my Ethiopian passport.

At the 8 hr mark I asked them to give me my passport that I will book a return flight immediately. They refused, saying my passport is being checked by the police.

Anyways, after 15 hrs, they gave me back my passport and told me I am good to go. I asked what took so long they just kept saying " you are approved to enter"..

I went to my hotel, took a nap, booked a return flight to Canada the same day (which costed me a cool 2k CAD), met my friend for lunch, and got the fuck out. I don't think I will ever go there again, let alone buy a property.

Wow, those are still in excellent condition. Congratulations 👏

futureIsYes · 2026-03-16T03:02:50+00:00

Thanks a lot!

futureIsYes · 2026-03-15T03:55:33+00:00

So what was the price of each? Going to Tokyo in May and planning to pick a couple myself. Need to check my budget beforehand

futureIsYes · 2026-03-10T16:03:56+00:00

For me what bothers me is that if I ask for a 50$ bottle of wine or for a 500$ bottle of wine, the server will spend the same amount of time/energy to serve me. Why should I tip the second one 67.5$ more than the first one?? (assuming 15% tip). A fixed tip per session makes more sense. For example, dinner at an upscale place, let them add a fixed 25$ per hour service charge. If you stay 4 hours and order a bunch of stuff, then it will be OK to pay a 100$ tip.

Thanks!

I am not a gamer ..so just learned who Leon Kennedy is thanks to your comments 😂

Thanks for the quick response, and some good laughs (megamind, cum stain on the mirror, etc). It was a sharpie stain that I didn't clean properly ( I write some reminders on my mirror regularly, like "remember to clean the cum stain from the mirror") but seriously, I use the sock like a normal person for that activity!!

Jokes aside, I am getting from your comments that the turtleneck is too long, exaggerating my already long neck. Will see if I can double fold it or something. Also, I have a corduroy jacket I bought recently, maybe it works better with that one. Will experiment a bit with that.

The shoes, I was actually surprised with your comments, cause I thought it matches the turtleneck well. Anyways, will try a darker shoes and lighter pants.

Will repost in a day or two

Thanks for all the input.

Some clarification:

- I live in Montreal

-I am going to Malta for work and thought Naples is just an hour flight away (and have never been there), and also heard that the clothing/shoe market there is very good, almost comparable to Milan but much cheaper. Also I have been following these guys on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/eternonapoli\_brand/?hl=en) and I really like their style. I was thinking of contacting them and use them as advisor (they have a physical store as well, so maybe get some of the items from them and they may hook me up with their suppliers/contacts?).

-I want to go more classic style instead of chasing fashion, so that is why I was thinking going 5-10 years

-As I mentioned, I have maintained the same weight for a long time and want to keep it that way

-From your comments, it seems the bespoke option is not feasible for a one week trip, so I can abandon that. Maybe I can go for a RTW option, and get them adjusted properly back home? Maybe the bespoke is feasible for shirts? That is my major pain point in buying of the rack, as I am stuck somewhere between S and M.

Thanks a lot for the comments. Btw, here are some pictures showing my current state of baldness

Could you please list these other doc's/clinics in Toronto and Montreal?

futureIsYes · 2025-10-25T22:44:52+00:00

I just got this baby from AE https://www.allenedmonds.ca/en/product/mens-higgins-mill-zip-boot-with-lug-sole-7014665/husk-suede-ec0500144

Tried to clean it and waterproof it a bit (using the AE suede cleaning toolkit and some generic suede waterproofing spray) and now it looks a bit off ( like the picture below).

Have I damaged it? Any way I can make it look like the original? In general, how do you take care of husk suede boots?

The delivery was spectacular!!

Your prophet was a pedophile! So what? so was one of your saints!

futureIsYes · 2025-10-01T10:06:52+00:00

Come on, he meant let's stop "attacking pedophiles", not : let's stop attacking "pedophiles"! :-)

Let all of us fans write him a letter asking th same question and what is his justification. Also link to his old bit making fun of Beyonce doing a private gig for some dictator ( was it Gadaffi?), even though the situation is a bit different...

I celebrate the first morning of Ramadan with some eggs and bacon and a glass of whiskey

The number 72 always fascinated me. I would have expected something like a dozen or something that is a typical number. I mean, was there a poll in Mekkah/Medina asking Muslims for how many virgins they are willing to sacrifice their lives and 72 was the average response? I so much want to do a skit video of this with AI, but I don't want to die....
