    Show us your TIES

    Wonderful ties everyone! I got 11 new pieces from my great-grandfather´s heritage, most of them are more than 40 years old, about half of them are silk. They would use some pressing... And as for the total count of my neckties - 45 at this moment. More than enough :)

    More cops in hats

    Definitely a nice uniform. I don´t know why, but reminded me slovakian president´s guard of honour...

    What are you wearing today??

    Everything for you :) The tie is modern, silk, the label reads Anthime Mouley, thrifted. And one question for you - where did you get that shirt from your last outfit? I guess that one girlfriend of mine would really love it.

    It´s a bit colder here today, so I can wear my new coat.

    Avia BH-5 flying to Belgium

    "In the first half of the twenties in the twentieth century, one of the most popular air races in Europe was the “Prix de la roi Belgique” or the “Prize of the Belgium King”. The king, Albert I, was an avid sportsman and an enthusiastic pilot, who was very familiar with Czech pilots. One of...

    why do you do live the way you do.?

    Why? Because I love to be different. Why? Because I am! As everybody writes here - because I´m friggin awesome. I´m always overtopping other people.

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    Again, this is not from a thrift store, but I think that cleaning out attics of my family´s houses is equally good source of great stuff :) This beatiful jacket is from late 50´s or very early 60´s and I simply love the fabric. And more good news to come - my grandaunt was cleaning...

    Belted back, double breasted, and linen - by Ralph Lauren?!?

    tonyb - As I see it, the vintage jackets (and suits generally) were really more tight around the waist, letting your slim waist "distinguish" (I don´t know the word). And the armholes were higher just because it allowed more free movement as the jacket was everyday clothes and it had to be...

    Do hats really need a liner?

    Yes, the lining is absolutely necessary. Imagine all that grease from your hair (or head) on you hat. That would be disgusting...

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    For me is the pink and khaki combination reason for mourning itself, no matter whose funeral it is. To stay on topic, this has happened to me about a week ago. It´s not a dumb comment, but It made me angry and amused me at the same time. I was in a pub with friends (all about 20 years old)...

    Bringing Back the Hat (article)

    I´m a bit afraid of what would happen to the classical hat design if they will gain popularity again. We all know that designers can do terrible things.

    The Declining Popularity of the Necktie

    I´m trying to wear ties as much as possible, even though everyone tells me it´s inappropriate. Of course it is, when you hardly ever see a tie worn, even by people who shall wear it! But that´s my (or our - lounger´s) style. It´s sad that the ties are worn no more, but that´s how things go. The...

    Montgomery Wards Spring/Summer 1935 Catalog

    I used the inflation calculator and 15 dollars in 1935 are about 230 bucks now. When 1USD is about 15CZK now, it´s about 3500CZK for suit. That´s much less than half the price they want for a new suit now! How did they do that?

    White Suits

    does this "thing" even count? I recognise some features of suit, but the whole look... awhh

    Non-suit wearers, lend me your ears!

    I do quite often need to go downtown and I don´t want to dress up too much, so I usually wear (more often then I´d like to) just some pants with shirt (usually the first I find, sometimes with necktie, because I´m trying to wear the neckties as much as the temperatures allow) and when it´s...

    You Look It, But Do You Act It?

    Vintage way of life is good, but I modify it to better suit this world. My opinions are quite old fashioned, in some issues, like women. Maybe that´s the reason I can´t find the right one. Dancing? I´d love to, but there is nobody to dance with. No matter, I can´t dance at all.

    When Did You Develop Enjoyment Of Clothes?

    When I first visited this site. I always wanted to look different, but I had no knowledge about clothes and I didn´t know where to start. Then, as a miracle, I found the fedora lounge and suddenly I knew what to look for. A new addiction was born.

    Clinking glasses

    I learned just three or four weeks ago that the clinking is proper only for three and less people. However, when you´re sitting in a pub, you don´t have the first beer and ten other people absolutely need to clink with you, how can you reject it? :)
