    Show us your TIES

    Thanks! This has to be my favorite tie of all the ones I own. Goes well with this sweet 1940's black double breasted sports coat I also picked up recently. The end result is a vibrant jazzy/swing look, because the understated tone of the jacket pairs well with the loud color. Only photo i have...

    A couple 40s and 50s ties. Obtained this set for $35 on eBay.

    Pretty sure the OP implied he now possesses the hat. This is interesting to me, because most bowlers and derbys I see are black or gray. I'm no expert in dating these hats, they always all looked the same to me ;)

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    On mobile, it won't let me send photos, because the file sizes are supposedly too large. The hat is the same one I posted about in the eBay thread, the one that's my first Vintage. This is a quality piece, for sure. It's a charcoal gray in most lighting, but it's not dark enough for black tie...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Awesome hats, thanks for sharing. I especially like the off-white one. Do you know much about Knox hats, by the way? My beloved Homburg is a Knox, and I'm not familiar with the reputation and quality of this hatmaker.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    When did the cheaply made, short brimmed, low crowned, "fedora" people today have come to known become popular? I've seen movies from the late 50s that portray few characters sporting these trillbies. Personally, I just think this style of hat is horrible and isn't true to what the fedora used...

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

    I was lucky to have my Homburg shipped to me triple packed. Only problem was it was a royal pain to open!

    Should Men Wear Bracelets ?

    I can't say I'm a fan of the look, but I've always been hesitant to wear any sort of jewelry.

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

    This image really messed with me at first glance. What does the hat look like out of its box that is apparently profoundly foreign?

    Homburg Nation

    Good to know. I may consider this for future black tie events. I have a navy Homburg, and I always wear it casually, because I just see it as an informal, versatile hat.

    Homburg Nation

    I didn't even know Homburgs could be worn formally? What type of occasions are they acceptable, and are formal homburgs only limited to black?

    How many suits do you own?

    As of now, I own only two suits, both of which were my grandfather's. One is Brooks Brothers (unknown date, likely 80s) and the other is an Anderson & Sheppard 3-piece from 1985. I have a couple nice sports coats, and have recently ordered more.

    Vintage Spectator Shoes

    Finding original spectators that are affordable and in my size feels like mission impossible. Why do I have to have small feet??

    How to Wear White Bucks?

    https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F332499970962 I was intrigued by these, even though they're not my size. Perhaps someone on here will pull the trigger?

    How to Wear White Bucks?

    One may say you ought to be shot for wearing a boater in 2017/8.

    How to Wear White Bucks?

    You think a boater hat would work or do you picture that as too archaic?

    How to Wear White Bucks?

    I'd heed to that theorem, it would be too much white. I never cared for white 3-pieces, always saw them as too flashy to begin with.

    Suitable thrifts in Dallas for 30s-50s clothing?

    Members familiar with Dallas, TX, I need your help! With so many thrift stores here, it's very difficult to weed out the ones that are flooded with 20-year-old garbage. Since I'm vacationing here, I would love to be exposed to stores known for selling Golden Age clothing, if any. Opinions on...
