So I bought my first (two) suits from Brooks Brothers recently, and while waiting for them to tailor them to my specifications I've been looking for a briefcase in which to tote my mobile office, since I obviously can't carry a backpack or use a "fanny pack" with formal wear, and I'm trying to move away from the backpack aesthetic even with my business casual attire. The complication is that my mobile office is far smaller than most people's (pictures: 1, 2, 3, 4), and I'd rather not buy a case much larger than what I need; even a small laptop case would be too big for me. Further specifications within. [more inside]

I'm looking for a hoody that absolutely MUST have a double zipper - meaning you should be able to unzip it down and up at the same time. Other details: I'm holiday shopping and looking for a high-quality hoody. It needs to be plain (no big graphics, a small logo of some sort is ok) and a dark color. It can be medium to heavy in weight. This person has and enjoys other hoodies from various skater brands as well as Carhartt - the sweatshirt should be durable like those. The gift recipient will be an adult female, but it does not matter if it is a men's garment.

What should I wear to a Salvation Army wedding? I'm sure most people will be in their uniforms, but needless to say that's not an option for me. The bride and groom are both elderly, and the reception will be held in the social hall at the church, so I don't think it will be super formal. [more inside]

Please help me find a pocket watch for my Dad's birthday! He is in his seventies and has some limitations with his vision, so it needs to be pretty easy to read. For that reason, I'd prefer black numerals on a white face. He also would like for it to have the day of the week along with the date. [more inside]

Have you ever had a hair transplant procedure to treat male pattern baldness? The last time someone asked about this here in Ask Metafilter, everyone said, "Don't get plugs! Shave your head!", but there were no testimonials from guys who had actually experienced the surgery. If you've had the surgery, when did you have it, what sort of procedure did you have done, were the results reasonably natural, and would you recommend it? [more inside]
