Beyond that, I would say keep your eyes open and have a nose for what others would consider arcane trivia and pointless detail. Beyond that it's a simple matter of seeing correlations across seemingly-unrelated fields, and connect the dots!Mr Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07630695883122086178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588768300820642957.post-34520042524365725892013-01-02T19:48:48.108-05:002013-01-02T19:48:48.108-05:00It is positively astounding what you have here, an...It is positively astounding what you have here, and I am excited to read more. Where does your historical knowledge all come from? I have many more questions now that I have thought on it, but perhaps there are books and such you may recommend instead of having me bother you with them all. I am concerned chiefly with history. Thanks very much for a brilliant collection of writings on what is often a poorly covered topic.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03710241068465521880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588768300820642957.post-22545273163047694532013-01-02T10:45:37.471-05:002013-01-02T10:45:37.471-05:00Hello, Erik!

I don't want to give too much away too early, but I actually DO have plans to make an extended series on tying all the cravats in "The Art," as well as an essay or two on stiff collars, in the coming year.

Would you conider doing an entry on those? Alternatively, if you know of any source which explains better than the books in question how to produce those knots, that would be brilliant.<br />One final question is how one might become better informed on detachable collars, or if you intend at-all to write here of them.<br /><br />Cheers.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03710241068465521880noreply@blogger.com
