    Please help Cindy (LuvMyMan) and Daniel.

    Hopefully, the bartenders here can compose some sort of tribute to Daniel. I didn't know him well, so it would likely help. Hang in there Cindy.

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    What I like about my Sea Spray panama (Which I shared in the Panama Hat Thread) is that it looks expensive by today's market standards, while it actually pales in comparison to other panamas of the same era. It is my go-to vacation hat while I'm here in NYC, and loads of people have complimented...

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    Thanks for the links. These are pretty extensive, so a lot of people must care about restoration, care and use of vintage shoes. Funny thing happened today. I was wearing my spectators and received compliments from a college-aged man. He said that he hoped I would wear the spectators more...

    Can a vintage car still be driven as a daily driver?

    Whoa, did not expect this to get this many replies. I am heavily occupied on a vacation right now, so I lack the time to address everyone. So, the general consensus is that many older cars are severely limited in functionalities, compared to modern cars, and driving one may require the same...

    And yet people will only know the boater as the "barbershop hat" with the patriotic stripes

    The Thread to Display Your 1940s Suits

    I believe the suit is American. How would i go about restoring the lapel roll? And can any dry cleaners properly press a suit without butchering this feature? This seems to be a pet peeve amongst regular suit-wearers.

    Can a vintage car still be driven as a daily driver?

    I apologize if this has already been covered here. For years, I have shown interest in vintage cars and have been open to owning one, even if it can only be used as a weekend driver these days. Whether or not vintage cars (I consider this to be pre-1970's) can be reliable and safe is a rather...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Finished Hitchcock's Rope (1948) just now. A fun little adventure about two guys' struggle to cover up a murder in their apartment during a party, until they blow town. Very thrilling and James Stewart's role made it magnificent.

    The Thread to Display Your 1940s Suits

    Allow me to pick up this thread a little--Just ordered a late 40's 3-piece suit. As a teaser, here's a pic of the jacket, until the suit arrives: No tag, fully lined. Seller claimed it was a bespoke.

    Boy, I oughta let Eric take care of my own shoes. Yes, for a shoe conditioner that leaves shoes shiny, restores the integrity of the leather and does not interfere with color, as Eric stated, Cadillac Shoe and Boot are the way to go. I got an 8 oz bottle for $9 on ebay and it works as intended...

    The STETSON WAY, Advertising and ephemera of the Golden Era

    These ads are great for reference or to reflect on advertising of the past. Most fashion illustrations after the early 50's, I could not care less about. I love the summer catalogs.

    Panama Hat Thread

    Beautiful hat! If it had a narrower ribbon, it would be a summer essential for me! Fine find. That color and weave are hypnotizing. Nice find, Alan. Keep these summer straws coming!

    OTHER THAN eBAY Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Absolute shame about that hat! Looks wonderful. What decade was it made?

    a sad day

    You'd think downtown Seattle would be more inclined to preserve their elder businesses, but I suppose this is just the vicious cycle of development.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Too lazy to read the previous replies--so IS a vintage topper practical or are they merely collectors' items?

    Show us your TIES

    I'm not so much of a fan of the skinny ties. They too make me feel like the Blues Bros, a feeling I have trouble desiring.

    Nice Brits. If I were to guess the date--50's? They look very sharp. Please share more of your vintage shoes! I agree with what Eric said about your spectators. They are very nice repros, and I don't see why you can't make opportunities to wear them (jazz club, cocktail party, a leisure...
