Anonymous asked: 'sup bro. what's the word on slimming down the sleeves/raising the armhole on a barbour jacket (waxed cotton, not quilted)? i'm not feeling the batwing, but on the other hand am leery of messing with a classic. the deleterious effect on the waterproofing is not a big deal for me, as i wear the jacket to work and not out in the english countryside.

dieworkwear asked: Hi, long time reader, first time caller. I was wondering what kind of wardrobe would you recommend for an at-home blogger? I realized the other day that I spend so much time telling people what to wear that I'm not sure what's appropriate for blogging. Navy suit? Tie, no tie? Note that whatever you recommend, it has to pair well with house slippers. I'm Asian, not a barbarian.

alburt asked: Hey NTB, I have a fairly thin head and a white man's afroesque hair. This made me look like an idiot when I used Raybans and Pradas and shizzle growing up. Been experimenting with aviators lately, but they tend to be gargantuan in proportion to my face. Got any tips for smaller sunglasses?
