    Bob, that Towncraft looks great. The pattern, price tag, and silk all lead me to believe it could be late 20's, 30's. Someone can correct me on this. Good find!

    You Tube Guy Eats Actual WWII Army Rations

    His shaky hands make this very painful, but I'll try and slog through the rest. I can't believe he manages to find this old-stock food. Does anyone know how this guy obtained the hardtack? This is an interesting concept, and I bet very sensational for viewers. Thanks for sharing, Lizzie.

    Choosing the Correct Hat for your Body Type

    I love the Gentleman's Gazette. It's my Bible for all things sartorial, and Sven is great at presenting. I'm slim and have a chiseled face, and unfortunately cannot pull off a wide-brim, tall-crown hat that you'd see Bogart sporting in his greatest pictures. I find the Homburg suits me more. As...

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    Excellent shoes. If I saw them on one's feet, I'd think they were true vintage. Those scream quality, good investment!

    The Sound of New York: May 1931

    My aunt sent me this footage. It's very fascinating to see candid depictions of urban life from this era. People are moving too damn fast today, I tell ya that. And everyone looks sharp in these films, and many of them are likely just going for grocery runs! This is a fantastic thread.

    Vintage Cars

    You are definitely right, cars that used to be a dime a dozen are now becoming collector's models, and I'm skeptical on part availability for when I buy a vintage. This dealership in Southeast Portland exclusively sells vintage cars (with the occasional early 2000s crapshoot), and they are very...

    Musician's hats

    Not a fan of the country style, but this man had class. Shame the way he carried on! He also had excellent photos taken of him, including my profile picture. Is there any way one could get headshots like these taken without it looking faux-vintage?

    You are one of the only etsy shops I check up on. Always some goodies I would love to own on, your page! The 1940's navy suit looks enticing, but alas the pants are too big for me :( These should be easy sales. good luck!

    Vintage Cars

    A 1959 Cadillac Eldorado convertible, my dream car. I know these don't exactly go for beans these days, but say I stumble upon a fantastic fortune; does anyone have any information on this car? Perks, values? Or is it just a pretty-looking junker that loses its novelty quickly? I've heard good...

    Help in dating old family picture

    These are some interesting photographs, thanks for sharing. Love seeing candid history. It's also enlightening to hear why people appeared so stiff and spellbound in very old photographs. I should hang around this subforum more often! This supposedly dates back to 1901-1904 and it was crazy to...

    What do people generally feel about the post-war 40's Bold Look?

    I noticed this too, i agree. Though, it's odd to see No. 42 reduced to "the guy on the right" Yes, yes, yes. A Vintage Dancer article concerning 1940s hair fashion used this pic of Hodges for black hairstyles. I was reading it and several people were like, "You like this stuff? That's what...

    What do you want to be buried in?

    Suspenders, a belt, a vest, a clip-on bowtie, 7" rise pants, and square toed shoes

    What do people generally feel about the post-war 40's Bold Look?

    More bold look: Ralph Branca & Jackie Robinson, Feb 12, 1948 Humphrey Bogart (think this outfit was worn in The Barefoot Contessa (1954)) Johnny Hodges These are some extreme examples, most of which I find horrendous, to be honest.

    Things I wanna know before I kick the bucket!

    I have some ideas as to why people are fascinated with the Golden-Era, pinstripe, Italian, organized crime spectrum of things, but why is there this large obsession with gang culture? In particular, street gangs in low-income areas, typically comprised of minorities. Is this an age-old...

    Options for Grad Suit

    The only option I would rule out is a black suit Boring choice, go big or go home. As for the most moderate outfit, the blue jacket and khakis would be my choice, taking into account the predicted temperature. It's a timeless look too. Call me crazy, but the seersucker pants and the blue jacket...

    Help Dating Dad's Florsheims

    I should have specified that I used this already. Combined with input from loungers, my best guess is these date back to 71. The best part is these abominations were special order. He specified this style. Pops never had the best sense of style. He looked sharp in the 50's, but it looked like...
