    Call for a WIKI on TFL: Correct shoe naming is hard business!Let's make a collection:

    Shoe names are so complicated and it is so hard to track down shoes you like when you barely know how to describe them CORRECTLY in a search bar. Is there a wiki-style post with a collection of all the MAIN styles of shoes since the 19th century? "Show us your shoes" is a mess to be honest...

    Vintage Style Reference in Vernacular Photographs

    What style of shoe is this man wearing? Triangle toe (not todays pointy toe), cuban heel (by the looks of it):

    Brylcreem

    I just love the smell of Brylcreem. Maybe i'll try a combination of Murray's and Brylcreem. I'll also look out for Sportin' Waves and Krew Komb. Thanks Dan'l for the tip.

    Brylcreem

    How can anyone get it to stay in their hair all day? I tried using it for 6 months a while back and by mid-afternoon it would be all gone. I would use about a palm full too! My hair is curly and thick, and the weather humid. I do wish to try it again as i don't like having to use Murray's...

    Mad Men attire

    Anyone know of any old Hollywood tricks regarding wardrobe? What did they do 40+ years ago when lightweight material may not have been used or if it was it may not have been as breathable as todays materials? How do they not appear as though they have just stepped out of a sauna? I'm looking...

    Mad Men attire

    Imagine the combination of hot Hollywood sets with those suits. Then imagine air conditioning with the hair. I am not surprised that in some scenes the actors look like they have just gone for a summers run in their suits.

    Get Smart: Unseen jacket collar and questions on outfits (collars etc)

    How do you get a jacket collar to sit so low and a shirt collar to sit so high? I know the collar is really thick but i think the jackets seem to be cut in some way to sit really low on the shoulders not even touching the neck really. I've never seen this type of collar on a jacket...

    Mad Men attire

    I guess they share a wardrobe... :P I love how all of the material of each piece of clothing seems to be made out of some sort of raised and lowered squares. Seems like it would feel AMAZING!!!

    Looking for tall laced boots which are useful for hiking/hunting

    If you are looking for YEARS AND YEARS of quality out of a hiking and motorcycle boot at a relatively low price i'd suggest current military boots. Just visit your local army surplus store. Brown may be the problem though as that is not really a current military combat/jungle colour. These are...

    High waist Trousers / Pants: Keeping them up with a belt? Solutions/Rants anybody?

    I just think they must not be tailored to fit that high. Which is annoying because they are too long to sit on my hips without just looking baggy but too short to sit on my waist without being uncomfortable. Perhaps it's just my body shape. I'll have to visit a tailor one day and be done with this.

    High waist Trousers / Pants: Keeping them up with a belt? Solutions/Rants anybody?

    There also seems to be two major style of high rise trousers that we are discussing; the fishtail (i am assuming you mean like my tux trousers that become QUITE narrow at the top and sit quite a few cm above my belly button) and the relatively "straighter"-sided trouser that are common daily...

    High waist Trousers / Pants: Keeping them up with a belt? Solutions/Rants anybody?

    I find my high waist trousers never stay up with a belt unless i practically choke my belt around my waist till i feel sick in my stomach. That just seems silly. I think that this is a major reason that trousers become cut to fit up to the hips rather than the waist. Has anyone else had this...

    I want to Buy a Waistcoat; where to look in Melbourne?

    Yes, Melbourne. I'm 20 and for the past two years i have been slowly going vintage! Not 30's or 40's yet though. More 50's and 60's - Mad Men and Elvis Presley! Any private way to contact you as i don't think threads are for just chatting away :P hahaha I cannot seem to send you private...

    I want to Buy a Waistcoat; where to look in Melbourne?

    I agree that it does get cold enough to wear suits but, unfortunately for me, "i'm a sweater (vest)" hahaha. I'll definitely be going to Anton's. I have already marked it down on my to do list! I'm also looking for a pocket watch as they have always fascinated me! I think the appeal is...

    I want to Buy a Waistcoat; where to look in Melbourne?

    Amazing waistcoat! In Melbourne it is difficult to find cool enough weather to justify wearing a suit. Even my summer suit makes me sweat to no end during winter! I never thought of trying just a waistcoat! Although i have been intrigued by the look of you in yours. It reminds me of Patrick...

    Spit and polish

    The main goal is to build up many layers of thin polish. And you actually end up shining the polish not the shoe. So, obviously, this takes HOURS of small circular medium to soft rubbing with your forefinger while adding a little polish and water every few minutes. It's all been said in other...
