Chicago

• I was re-watching Mad Men last night and I really want a pair of squared off aviators like Draper wears in a few episodes. Where can I find a pair?

  - Dylan

• Don Draper wears a pair of old school aviators by Randolph Engineering. Of course, those shades were slightly modified for the time period by Hollywood's vintage glasses guy, Russ Campbell of Old Focals. But you can come pretty close with Randolph's aviator style ($99, gold frames, grey lenses and bayonet temples).

• I got in a bicycle accident and ended up with a few bad scars on my face. What's the best way to diminish them even after everything has healed over? - Scott

• Your best bet is the regular application of a topical treatment. Merderma is often recommended by doctors as the most effective at improving the color and texture of scars both old and new. But since these are newly formed scars, Invicible Scars is a popular minimizing cream made with aloe, licorice root and Vitamin C. Dermatologist Jeanette Graf has used it on several patients to soften new scars. "But it is not as effective on scars that are a month old or older," she says. "You also have to be consistent with using this product or any scar treatment. It takes four to six months to see the best results."

• I wore my desert boots to a club and now there are stains and marks all over the suede. How can I clean them up? - Connor

• You'll need a suede eraser (basically a brick of crumbly rubber) to rub away the scuffs and stains. Rub the stain like you're sanding a piece of wood or erasing a pencil's mark, until the stain disappears. Then use the brush to restore the nap, or fuzzy texture of the suede. You can get an affordable set through Amazon. And for more restoration and treatment advice, check out our Save Your Suede piece.

• I'm looking for a pair of brown wing tips that have a worn-in look. Can I get this kind of thing new or should I look for a used pair? - Phil

• Your best bet is to look for used styles. They'll be the most realistically worn-in, and you'll be able to get a good quality pair for a fraction of the cost. If you want to buy new, Calvin Klein and Rockport make some decent styles. But if you've got the patience, find a fresh new pair you like and wear them in yourself.

• When I walk indoors on smooth surfaces with my leather soled shoes, I feel like I'm slipping a lot. Is there a way to make more grip on the sole? - David

• You can scuff the bottoms of your leather soles so they offer some more traction, but you may not be up for that. And it doesn't always work. Some sharp dressed chaps who routinely find themselves in slippery or wet conditions swear by Topy sole protectors. It's a thin layer of rubber, which can be applied by any shoe repair shop, which will prolong the life of your shoes while provide extra grip.

• I think the hair product I use is making my forehead breakout. Is there a pomade that's better for your skin? - Alex

• Hair products can be harsh and irritating to the skin. And many of them are oily, so look for products that are made with natural ingredients and also marked as non-comedogenic—which essential means they won't clog pores. MenScience products are all non-comedogenic, chock full of natural goods proven to benefit skin and hair, and their wax pomade ($22) is one of the brand's most popular products.

Atlanta

• I'm headed to Los Angeles for a few days and would like to rent a high-end sports car to impress my lady with a drive up the coast. Can you rent something like a Porsche or a Maserati? - Kyle

• In a car-worshiping culture like Los Angeles, there are plenty of places to rent exotic cars. Some of the most popular and best reviewed in the area are Midway Car Rentals (where there's a current deal on a Maserati Granturismo for $650 a day) and Black & White Car Rental, where a Porsche Cayman or Boxster convertible will set you back $195 a day.

Monterey

• Where can I find quality handkerchiefs on the cheap? - Noah

• Quality and cheap don't really go together, but we think you'll be pleased with Brooks Brothers' pure cotton handkerchiefs. They've got a simple, clean edge and are sturdy enough to stand up in a pocket yet durable enough to actually use and hold up in a washing machine. You can get a seven-pack for $30, which works out to about $4.25 a handkerchief. Not too bad for the kind of quality that will last you a while.

New York

• I wear glasses everyday and my go-to pair has developed a white film on the frames. How do I get rid of it? - Jeremy

• Dirt, dust and oils can build up into a film, but the grime can easily be removed. A fine scratch remover like Novus plastic polish ($9 for a kit) will erase stains and grit while restoring the original luster of the frames. If that doesn't work, your eyewear store can offer a full frame polish, where they'll remove the lenses and buff the frames inside and out. Then remember to keep your glasses clean by washing them regularly in cool water with a mild soap, along with occasionally laundering that microfiber polishing cloth you keep in your case.

Toronto

• What's the best way to apply cologne? Is there a right way and a wrong way? - Simon

• Don't spray a cloud in front of you and step into it. That would be the wrong way. It wastes the product and it covers your carpet (and your knees) in fragrance. And don't worry about those "pulse points" some people like to hit. Just give each side of your neck a spritz and if you want to ensure the scent stays with you, hit the back of your neck at the hairline. Spraying your clothes could end up discoloring them and it prevents the oils from interacting with your skin, which helps the fragrance develop throughout the day.
