Educational Gains

December 11, 2011

Our research department has discovered a very curious phenomenon, known as the Freshman 15. Apparently, when you’re in that first year of college, you put on 15 pounds from all the eating, partying, lack of sleeping and otherwise enjoying yourself…as you study, of course. Well, we looked into the situation. Scientists have studied this (really) [...]

Your Wardrobe: Never in Jeopardy

November 30, 2011

This day in history: In 2004, Ken Jennings, who won a gazillion dollars during his longest winning streak on Jeopardy!, finally lost to a competitor named Nancy Zerg, who just happens to share the same-sounding last name as the villian in Toy Story 2. We are, of course, referring to Emperor Zurg, who looks nothing [...]

Talkin’ Turkey

November 21, 2011

The public service department of our blog requested some space to speak frankly about the origins of Thanksgiving. Seems we might not have first landed on Plymouth Rock in 1621. Saint Augustine, Florida is claiming the first feast. And Virginia is staking a claim as well. And that’s not even folding in the Canadian versions. [...]

Mad Bomber and Chippewa: Head-to-Toe Winter Warmth

October 23, 2011

We’re not in the habit of recommending Halloween costumes for our readers…but when you see what we’ve seen—or just picture what we’re about to tell you—then it just might all make sense. As in: last year, this guy was dressed head-to-toe in aluminum foil. Hat, glasses, shirt, pants, shoes. If he was going for the [...]

Camber and Chippewa: Clothing for the Free World

September 20, 2011

We have a bit more information about Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev being denied entry into Disneyland in September, 52 years ago. We’d let it go, but it’s all so surreal that information must be shared. That day in Los Angeles, he visited Twentieth Century Fox studios, and met Shirley MacLaine on the set of “Can-Can.” [...]

September Events in Store, Great Clothing in Stock

August 31, 2011

As a public service, we want to remind you that tomorrow marks the beginning of September…and some absolutely terrific celebrations around the world. In the Netherlands, the queen will ride in a gilded coach and read plans for the fiscal year to members of parliament. The US football season begins this month. Oh, Autumn begins, [...]

Your Own Midnight Ride to Greatness

April 18, 2011

So: 236 years ago, Paul Revere made his famous Midnight Ride from Boston to Lexington to alert us about the advancing British Army. It’s all connected: if Paul Revere had failed, maybe today we’d be saluting the Queen and more infused with fish and chips than Quarter Pounders. Paul Revere’s ride also successfully warned John [...]

Putting the Vernal in Your Step

March 21, 2011

Spring is here. It snuck in yesterday evening at 7:21 EDT, like a clever mother-in-law or bedbug, while you were watching the game, and set up shop. It was on the calendar all along, yet some of us forgot. S’alright: among our many blogging responsibilities is a determination to keep you up to date on [...]

Are These Clothes Evolutionary? Let’s Debate.

November 3, 2010

Okay, we know this a clothing blog. Certain rules apply. Provoking a debate over fiscal responsibility is a bit beyond the scope of our mission. That said, we want to introduce a provocative notion dealing with creation and evolution. Because, naturally, it has everything to do with clothes.
Case in point: “Inherit the Wind,” made 50 [...]

Are You Tall Enough to Wear These?

October 25, 2010

An old story: Two men were arguing about how tall a man should be when Abraham Lincoln approached them. One of the men asked, “Mr. President, how tall should a man be?” Honest Abe replied, “A man should be tall enough for his feet to reach the ground.”
Okay, a couple of things. Lincoln stood 6’4”, [...]
