    What's For Breakfast...

    You have a point. Come to think of it, I'm not interested in what other people are wearing on any given day either. Apparently I'm consistent that way. :)

    The general decline in standards today

    Didn't mention gay men? Now who's being naive? Please reread the second paragraph of the article you quoted.

    The general decline in standards today

    The Cosmopolitan article also describes gay men...but I doubt that many choose to stay in the FL for long, lest they inflict "malaise" among this place's Real Men.

    The general decline in standards today

    Then there are the 'gents' who, say, open doors for women and mutter "bitch" under their breaths if said women don't smile and say "thank you". These men expect pats on the back, and get ugly when the payback doesn't come.

    The general decline in standards today

    I think that most women appreciate the difference between men who act helpfully and men who play the "gallant knight" with the expectation of something in return. It's the latter type which is annoying to them, and for good reason IMHO.

    What's For Breakfast...

    I just can't imagine my breakfast being a topic of conversation for other people, and vice-versa. Ah, well. The human race is a mystery.

    What's For Breakfast...

    As Martha Stewart would say, that's a good thing.

    What's For Breakfast...

    It's head-scratchingly extraordinary how many people care, and how often they care, about the food that other people are having for breakfast. Wish I could understand it, but am kind of hoping I never will.

    Do lunatics help or hurt an online forum?

    I'm beginning to understand why the Suits section in the FL is just shy of comatose. It used to be pretty active and informative.

    1920s suits

    It is not an excessively wide peak for American double-breasted jackets from 1926-1930. However, other details on this suit point toward it being from the late '30s to late '40s.

    "1930s Democrat hair cut"

    Maybe it's a Southern thing?

    "1930s Democrat hair cut"

    Senator Robert M. LaFollette had longish hair, and he won 17% of the popular vote in the 1924 presidential election. Can't say he was ever a Democrat, though.

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    Then it most likely is a special-order one, but from the 1960s or so.

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    This is a six-eyelet Florsheim model that didn't change at all from the 1950s until the mid 1990s, when it was finally discontinued. It was available in black only, and could be found at just about any Florsheim shoe store. The price at the time of discontinuation was about $125.

    RARE 1930s Collegiate Ultra High Waist Wide Leg Trousers

    These almost never show up anywhere, not just ebay. Where's the enthusiasm, people?

    Is this 3 PIECE SUIT Edwardian? 1920s? Earlier?

    The next step is to identify the maker or store: C.D. & Co.

    Is this 3 PIECE SUIT Edwardian? 1920s? Earlier?

    Do the trouser legs flare out from the mid calf to the ankle, in a boot cut fashion? If yes, then I agree with Barmey.

    Is this 3 PIECE SUIT Edwardian? 1920s? Earlier?

    Check the backs of the buckled straps on the vest. You might find a label there.
