    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Same age, same problems :) They tell me that I dress like an old man all the time, but I know how much better I am than they are. You can hardly ever seek tolerance between teenagers.

    Anything you want in Italy?

    Who wouldn´t like to have an original italian officer uniform from the WWII? Anyway, if you´d write down a short guide through vintage clothes shops in Milan, I (and certainly not only I) will appreciate it a lot. I´ve already been in Milan once, but i spent two days around Malpensa airport...

    Handkerchiefs and Pocket Squares

    Of course it will :) That´s why it seemed strange to me. I just had to make that comment...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I had them, my cousins had them, nearly everyone I know had them (even recently). Varicella (small-pox) is not so dangerous when the patient is young, plus it gives you immunity. To the topic - I can hardly thing if anything really vintage dissapeared during my short life. I haven´t seen the...

    Handkerchiefs and Pocket Squares

    Are they? I don´t know, I find it a bit disgusting to blow my nose (or wipe the sweat) and then put this "used" handkerchief back onto display to the pocket... That´s why I always have one more in my pants.

    Ifs the hat doesn't fit...

    It seems more than a bit risky to me. My experience says that the sweatband shall never (NEVER) be wet. I can´t imagine how you dried it without curling the whole sweatband up. (Plus I´d like to know how to straighten it, I have callosities from one of my hats) Stuffing the space between the...

    Akubra Stylemaster

    I´m glad I read this thread - convinced me to buy one (at least) Akubra too. I´m still not completely sure which model, I was thinking about Stylemaster, Hampton or Whippet. I´m not completely certain of the brim width. I´m not sure what suits me better...

    IDIOCRACY ... spoilers

    Oh my! I just finished watching this movie and... It´s not future, it´s today! (Or next year, whatever)

    The Classic British Look

    I´ll have to work very hard to earn enough money to buy everything!!! My god! Why is it in Hamburg. It´s too far. Why don´t they have an e-shop? Oh my, I´m so excited...

    You know that summer really IS over when...

    We´re expecting temperatures about 11°C tommorow, so I hope the summer is really over. I´m glad - I´ll be able to wear my suits and jackets and coats etc. without sweating, I will stop missing a decent summer hat. The summer ends when I start wearing shoes at home. Winter starts when I go...

    Jaroslav Jezek

    I checked all resources and found that there are no movies from VaW on DVD (some may be on VHS), so there is no legal way of getting them. And of course, no english dubbing. edit: and as I see, there is nothing on the internet as well. Now that´s scandal!

    Finally... my 'homemade' hat

    That´s really strange, I´ve already replaced the ribbon on one of my hats but I saw nothing. Maybe they´re just too small. Anyway, I think I´ll get my own block and start my own hat soon :)

    Finally... my 'homemade' hat

    Thanks for pictures. The only thing I´m still wondering about (and I´m a bit obsessed by this one) is, how it is done that the stitches don´t go through the felt. Or do they? I haven´t noticed them on my hats.

    Jaroslav Jezek

    I was listening to slovakian big band Bratislava Hot Serenaders and one song was terribly familiar. I searched the lounge and yes, there is not even a word about one of the greatest (probably greatest) czech composers of the 20th century - Jaroslav Jezek His music is probably best known from...

    would you live back in time?

    No, thanks. Certainly not in Europe. Maybe in some neutral country with some servants to take care of me.

    What are you wearing today??

    30°C in Prague today, no panama available, no better clothes available... Pretty good though (I think :))

    Finally... my 'homemade' hat

    Great! From the sideview, it may need some work on the front part, but otherwise it´s a great hat. One question - how did you sew on the sweatband? That´s one of the last things that prevents me from making my own hat.
