    Frock coats

    Indy gave me the quote and I'll probably end up buying it sometime over the summer. I still want to know, were these originally part of cricketing uniforms in England?

    Frock coats

    Sent Indy pics of the one I want for a quote, awaiting a reply, if it's within my budget I'll post pics when I get it. However I'm not sure what fabric I should use, does anyone know what kind of fabric they were made of in the past? I know a lot of repros are a little heavier than...

    Will jeans be going out of fashion?

    Really? I love levi's but I'm always disapointed with lee's because I always rip Lees. And I'm probably not too hard on them since I have the same daily routine when I wear jeans as when I wear nice slacks.

    Frock coats

    Well I'm really not wearing it for special occasions and it will probably end up being more of an overcoat than they traditionally were. If anyone has a frock coat I would love to see some pics if at all possible.

    Frock coats

    cool, I checked this place out and sent an email asking if they could get me one in a different color and how much it would be. Still awaiting response. Speaking of seattle does anybody know of a competent tailor or seamstress around washington that could make one?

    Frock coats

    Also, being American I'm not very educated on British dress, so I'll ask this too: Are frock coats now or were they ever part of cricketer uniforms, if so this might help me narrow down my search a little

    Frock coats

    Etiquette isn't a huge issue for me but thanks for the pics, those were cool. I was talking more victorian styles though. As with other pieces of clothing I've asked about here my interest started when I saw it in doctor who. Peter Davison always wore a tan one with red piping and a celery...

    Frock coats

    What's the deal with these things? I know they were popular in the 1800's and that they regained popularity in the fifties but that's it. Where did they come from? are they still worn in some circles and can they still be bought?

    Tragic dimensions to what we do?

    Honestly I've never had that problem, my interests seem to change frequently enough that I'm never really set into a mold, if you will. This unfortunately means I have a lot of poor pieces from a lot of different interests because I know myself and never waste too much when first starting a new...

    What are you listening to?

    The clash and pretty much anything else with joe strummer, he was a cool guy, an awesome musician and had some cool hats.

    New Star Trek

    well here's hoping they're good, I still have my reservations but I think it may be worth seeing. That said I'm not too happy with kirk's backstory.

    Either way I like some of these pics better than the ones on the original list. I wonder if any of the other men look better when not done up by gq

    Does leather burn?

    I honestly think this has become a moot point. you didn't slap him around when it happened, you didn't demand anything when it happened, it's been a month now and I think you have no options left. To repair the jacket however you could probably buy some sort of rain resistant goop stuff and...

    Help with lost nap on vintage Sools

    I know many brick and mortar shops will reblock a hat for free. If this isn't feasible I would wear as is. Tossing it seems silly because I know a few loungers would jump at the oppurtunity for a hat.

    Magnoli Clothiers- New Zealand

    I like matt's suits too but aren't they significantly more expensive? Even if they are comprable I know which magnoli I want.

    James Dean Jacket

    I own a switchblad style knife, the only difference is it has a lock on it and is under 8", thus making it legal in my state :)

    Actually I take it back, I like him in the second and third picture, but I don't like his hat/coat in the 1st and 4th pictures respectively.
