French cuff question
My first vintage pieces were three sets of cuff links (circa 1950s-1960s) that were purchased for pennies. Since then, I've always worn cuff links with suits, but never anything more casual, in part because it just seems right and help others differentiate between "casual" and "dressed-up". I'll...- Quetzal

White Shirt? Colored Shirt?
Always a colored shirt for me, HOWEVER, with suits, sport coats, and sweater-vests, it's always a solid white shirt, especially with suits, as I always don cuff links with suits, and those shirts are hard for me to find in my current size (14.5" x 35) at a reasonable price, and I like to show...- Quetzal

Vintage Polo Shirts
Were they even called "polo" shirts then, or were they called "sporting" or "tennis" shirts? The ones that should be made are those with wider collars, more form-fitting knitted sleeves and chest, a longer placket, a patch pocket, and a loop collar. Now that would be a summer shirt. -Quetzal- Quetzal

Ascots
I have a vintage (not by 99% of the Lounge's population) 1970s tie in 100% cotton (that's right, NOT polyester!) that is nearly 4" wide in a very rectangular way, with the "thin" end wide as well. Would it be acceptable to wear it as an ascot? -Quetzal- Quetzal

How can you tell a bow ties era?
There are some clues to date Bow-Ties, just as there are clues to date Four-In-Hands and Windsors. As others have already said, look for clues in the brands and the neck size (small, 13"-size necks are obviously vintage). Feel the fabric; like FiHs and Ws, vintage ties are generally thinner...- Quetzal
