    Mad Men Style Competition

    Well... I´ve never seen a single episode, but I´ve seen the pictures. And as my uncle learned english from songs, I learned to dress from the pictures :) It can´t compete with Paddy´s photos, but it certainly looks like 60´s.

    Moon pioneer helped Nazis

    I think it´s not necessary to remind you that the whole soviet and american rocket programmes were built on the original german research, so these "news" about who was a nazi are not surprising for me. The right question would be "who of the top scientists of that time was not a nazi?" It´s...

    Happy Easter Everyone......

    Happy Easter! A friend of mine sent me this picture, some of you may find it inappropriate, I find it hilarious.

    Depp's Fedora

    All fedoras I´ve seen on him seems to be beaten up a lot. I don´t like that. I like our fedoras, clean, with neat bash. Anyway, it´s better than nothing.

    My Project Hat....

    Stunning! How did you manage to gain so much height? It seems from the first pictures that there is no felt left... And the ribbon! WOW!

    Forming a "paper straw"

    I just bought a very nice straw hat, made of something they call "paper straw". From the name, I guess it will be even more vulnerable to water than regular straw. Does anyone have any experience with this material? Why I need it? The hat is supposed to have snap brim, but the brim snaps...

    Vintage Vestiges of Your Profession

    A friend of mine posseses one slide ruler made from cardboard, which is apparently from the WWII, with schwabach inscriptions and all. That´s a piece of history, the stuff the used to make the first rockets... To the topic - my profession has no vintage vestiges, except the buildings I rent...

    History in my hands…

    This ritual has a long tradition here, first notable defenestration was in 1419. The second, in 1618, was one of the events that started the 30 years war. No fun! The whole story, however, is quite funny, like from a movie... Historical offtopic starts here. There was a tension between the...

    Show Us Your Purchases....GUYS !

    I didn´t think of that! But wouldn´t it mean that the sleeves shall be shorter too? That´s strange. I´ve also seen two full suits in that shop today, both of them late 60´s, beatiful fabric (half poly, but who cares...) Both of them had the same problem - the pants are too short. All of these...

    Young loungers

    Second semester (so freshman) on Czech Technical University - Faculty of Transportation Sciences. Me and one friend (studying journalism) agreed that we were born young and immediately after puberty skipped the whole life and became seniors. What brought me to vintage... Firstly, I spend...

    History in my hands…

    Prague Castle - when you know the history of that place. Being in the same room from which the austrian governor was defenestrated, or to know where the king´s bedroom was (I think there is a gift shop in one of those rooms)... You just can imagine that place like 600 years ago. edit: as I...

    Show Us Your Purchases....GUYS !

    BUT if the jacket´s lapels roll naturally further than the last button (I don´t know how to describe that even in my own language), then you don´t button the the top button. People do this very rarely, but it looks nice. I have recently bought a grey three-piece with 4 buttons that has this roll...

    Where to find other retro singles?

    And each drink removes a few bricks from that wall... You may do something you´ll regret, but you´ll have so much fun.

    black blazer

    I´ll add one question: What is called "blazer" in the USA? As far as I know, only a navy jacket with golden buttons can be called blazer and is to be worn strictly with grey pants.

    Show Us Your Purchases....GUYS !

    I just brought home this jacket (and that ascot, my first ever), for a perfect price of 3 USD: The jacket was made by OP Prostejov, it´s wool-polyesther blend, well cut, so I guess it can be from half 60´s. The lapels look very vintagey though. The only problem is that the jacket may...
