@raynefq Knock back the infestation but they hate the climate where I live (NW Ontario) so I only ever found a few of them here. Sunlight & cold! I even froze bags of clothing to kill them.

[Decorator Crab @Thefullnilson]

@raynefq Heat and cold kill them !! But they also love dry clean only clothes the most, so I found vacuuming the clothes the most effective. Their eggs look and feel like sand, so it’s pretty easy to spot them. They actually moved with me across the continent and it took years to fully

@mikitaposts Aside from comedy and food (which are great things to be known for??), as a Canadian and an outsider, Chicago is known for its architecture, which on it’s own, is more than enough to make me want to visit.

@Acme3742 @TownsUsa Craftsman homes are more like 100-110 years old. You know you can re-plumb and re-wire right?

@zach_from_ohio It’s better than when it’s just plastic sticks sandwiched between the panes of glass tho.

[Decorator Crab @Thefullnilson]

@zach_from_ohio I wish that simulated divided lites in new windows weren’t a thing. Overall this is pretty good, but it’s a pet peeve of mine when it’s not true divided lites in windows. You can tell when it’s one flat pane of glass (instead of many) with artificial muntins and it looks fake.

@dieworkwear On the tan, the buttonhole appears to be done /w a chain stitch, maybe to make it look more tailored, but it’s still very clean & looks machine made. Hand-finished buttonholes on thicker fabric use a corded stitch & look a lil chunkier. The curved end of the opening is a tell.

[Decorator Crab @Thefullnilson]

@dieworkwear The black one very obviously is. Anyone who knows how to sew could spot it, top stitching on the black is running stitch, and you see a visible running top stitch like that on a lot of bespoke men’s suiting. Machine made suits sometimes mimic the look.

[Decorator Crab @Thefullnilson]

@dieworkwear A Sewist could do a backstitch by hand to make the topstitching look cleaner, like you’ve shown in the comments, but in bespoke menswear hallmarks of hand-tailoring are usually more sought after.

[Decorator Crab @Thefullnilson]

@dieworkwear The tan coat has tight machine stitching for the topstitch which creates an unbroken line cutting through the thick wool.

@girlwithlatte @TaylorLorenz @JoyceCarolOates Right and Taylor might’nt have been aware of yesterday’s interview & was correct in her assessment that the quote didn’t appear in today’s editorial… instead of making a bad faith reaction to her comment it would be easier to surmise that she wasn’t aware of the interview.

[Decorator Crab @Thefullnilson]

@girlwithlatte @TaylorLorenz @JoyceCarolOates I am just saying that Taylor Lorentz isn’t wrong.

@jtalboy It doesn’t even look like him come on

@JoshLipnik Classic Canadian mid-century institutional architecture. Every town has elementary schools and service Canada buildings just like this.

[Decorator Crab @Thefullnilson]

@Furmadamadam But the motifs on this one in particular did immediately make me think of the Mayan Revival architecture his son did in California in the 20s and 30s!
