    Am I wearing a Nazi suit?

    Had you seen my post above? This haberdashery was around before WW One, and took out the "English" during this first war. More than possible that they put it back in afterwards. I don't know how long the store was in existence. They might have been out of business by 1938, they might have taken...

    Am I wearing a Nazi suit?

    If you google wien and "zur englischen flotte" - and if you can make some sense of German texts -, you'll see that the "purveyor of collars" called "Zur englischen Flotte" changed this name to "Zur Flotte" during WWI already, inevitably attracting some mockery from writer and journalist Karl...

    Bad links, I'm afraid ("The image or video has been moved or deleted").

    German & Austrian Hutmachers

    These are folklore hats, of course, and it's hard to say how much they're even standardised rather than "authentic". Some seem just to make loans of folkloristic elements. Otherwise, German and Austrian hats are and were probably pretty much the same as French, British or American hats, no?

    They Say Em' From the Golden Era - Slang & Memorable Phrases

    Nothing against that as such, but I think one should be natural about it. Be very careful not to answer in anything resembling an arrogant tone. This even includes the pompous attitude modern people assume when they quote older things. Anyway, the issue of rhetoric questions reminds me of a...

    Diagonal cut black formal bow tie - WANTED please

    You mean one end has the butterfly form, the other is just the ribbon that ends?

    MEN of the LOUNGE

    Now you made me curious: how on earth can you stand more upright and the sleeves are two or three inches shorter then? Or did you mean you like them this long?

    Show us your TIES

    Are you referring to absolute or relative (offer and demand) value?

    Thirties in Colour

    There are often ways to circumvent this, such as using a UK-based proxy server, but I'm not sure how legal this is in your place, and if it would be nice towards the BBC.

    Did I just invent a drink?

    Sounds like a Caffè Pucci without the caffè. :)

    Show us your TIES

    I have managed to find about 3 (three) 30s ties. Otherwise I have maybe a dozen or so modern ones, nice designs among them, but stupidly thick and long etc.

    Strike anywhere matches

    I think it simply depends on legality. When they're illegal in your country, you'll have to order them from abroad, which might or might not be legal. In countries where they're allowed, you step into the next tobacco store and find plenty of 'em.

    I am coming to London! Best places to shop?

    The owner claims he's paying a lot for his stuff, and that people actually pay his prices. But it's hard to believe - when I was there, he had a 50s shirt there for £140, IIRC, well kept, but not like a new shirt. (The design didn't look so uncommon or interesting either, but I'm not an expert...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Same here at 5' 8" and sixpence. Of, course, face or hat size don't have to be proportional to one's height.

    Carlos Gardel

    I suppose he means Gardel's stereotypical masculine softness, his manly heavy makeup, his virile openly emotional singing, his long macho eyelashes and the like. ;) If he'd perform today, the Republicans would demand a stage ban. (Concerning tango as a whole, it is macho, of course, though...

    Men's Underwear Basics: Underwear, Undershirts

    I don't understand this principle thing - we're manipulating our physiology all the time, be it by washing, shaving or by what we eat, let alone drink and smoke, even legally. The producers of anti-perspirants claim that the overall process of sweating isn't influenced, as most of the body...

    Men's Underwear Basics: Underwear, Undershirts

    Worse, the antiperspirant agent is what causes it. So, if you have a "classic" deodorant, which mainly puts a layer of perfume on your sweat and might work against bacteria through alcohol, the stains you might get are mostly from the sweat itself and what the bacteria make of it. An...

    Men's Underwear Basics: Underwear, Undershirts

    In fact, those annoying yellow stains aren't sweat. The bad news is that they look repellent to most anyway and ugly to the rest, and that you don't get them out even in normal dry cleaning, let alone through bleaching at home. This is less about the mode of application, it's a typical thing of...

    White Suits

    With you there. In fact, I even prefer shirts that aren't stark white, but just a little bit ivory/cream, so little most people will only realise when they see it in contrast. (I don't like actual yellow shirts, though.) I also don't use washing agents with a "whitener", the stuff that makes...
