Oh yes acqua di parma is awesome, use the colonia too from time to time. I mainly use Chanel Allure Homme Sport or Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male and have only positive feedbacks.
It also depends on your skin how the scent develops over the time/day.
Arabit made some great suggestions need to check some of em too, thanks man

If you are in a mall (you'll find Hermes, Jo Malone, Creed and L'occitane there most likely), I suggest you spray first on paper and if you like it spray on it your wrist.
Also some colognes work best during cold days (Mostly spicy, woody & gourmand colognes) as opposed to citrus scents that work best during summer. There are those colognes that can be used around all season as well. Again, I will say fragrance is very subjective, so only your opinion matters.
Creed makes a lot of nice fresh scents that many people adore and I would like you to try them. (Be wary of fakes, plenty of them out there on ebay)
Try these from them
1. Millesime Imperial - Melon
2. Green Irish Tweed
If you do take a sniff, let me know what you like and don't like and maybe I can help you some more. Enjoy the hunt!When I think of quality, I think Amouage & Slumberhouse give the best bang for the buck. Very pricey though (specially Amoauge)

Yeah I guess I could have qualified taste better. What I wear now is musky with a citrus overtone, but it's not a natural scent, you can't really place anything other than to say it doesn't smell bad. I like woodsy, musky, citrus, and various other scents, it's just the spiced stuff I typically can't. I know there are tons of ways to go, including variant oils as well. Going to the mall would work if we had anything beyond Macy's and Hot Topic in ours, and most of what I find there is along the lines of what I already have. The Malone was intriguing simply based on having a solid idea of what the base scents would be, but not being able to see how what works makes it a crap shoot.

I love Terre D'Hermes and women seem to as well. Very masculine. I am not trying to smell like a flower.
-
I can't recommend enough Truefitt & Hill Trafalgar, Sandalwood, 1805 and Spanish Leather
-
Agreed on the Terre D' Hermes very outdoorsy smell, very masculine.

I had this thought today:
For much of the denim community today, the outseam selvedge is highly desired (if not almost mandatory) for raw denim jeans. But obviously this was not always the case. I was thinking back to when jeans were first made, when selvedge denim was first a thing.
Does it make sense that outseams were selvedge because it was the longest seam on a pair of pants, and by placing the selvedge there cut down on labor in the form of additional overlocking/sewing? I'm not sure if this is the reason selvedge is traditionally placed on the outseam, or if the origination of this denim feature is even known. It's just something that popped into my head…
-
My guess is efficiency. The edge is already finished, no overlock stitching or other finishing required.
-
It's because that's the side of a leg pattern that is straight. There is a curve to the pattern on the inseam side coming up to the crotch. If you tried to turn the pattern around you would actually be cutting off the selvedge line to account for the curve to the pant leg. Just like when you taper a patten you wouldn't taper the selvedge side because you would be cutting it off. It stays straight and you taper the inseam on the pattern.

thanks for confirming guys

One bump I have hit is in the personal care department though and I am looking for a line on deodorants and fragrances.

I've had my eye on this beauty for some time now and given my bonus will be extra nice this year, I am thinking of treating myself. Before I do though, I am wondering if anyone has this jacket and can chime in on sizing, wear, etc. I don't know if this item is in the NYC store, but I can check.
Anyway, if anyone has this great jacket, please, share your experiences.
TIA. Gary
