    De-Lovely Clothing

    WR: I agree with you whole heartedly that the general public is being gyped. But as a very good friend of mine once said, "99% of the world is asleep 99% of the time." Most folks wouldn't know good clothing and music if it was laid right in front of them. Of course, even back then there was no...

    Old vs New

    Natural fibers feel correct. The smell of leather, the feel of hard wood, the warmth of wool flannell, the softness of silk and the solidness of steel,it just can't be beat. It's probably why the English still spend a lot of time refining the interior of a Jag, instead of working on their...

    Almost forgot, WR, in this photo you posted you look like the actor David Tomlinson (Mr. Emelius Browne from Bedknobs and Broomsticks). Very slick. All you need is the little moustache. Cheers! Dan

    Vintage-Style Suit -Sean John

    Very sharp suit indeed Hemingway! Sean Combs has something there, especially trying to bring back good style. And at a $199 you got a fery good deal indeed. (Said with a low whistle). If you don't mind me asking, what is the maker of your shoes and what did they set you back? Cheers! Dan

    De-Lovely Clothing

    WR: I would have to agree with you sir. There are those, like yourself, who can pull off the look spot on, no doubt. But there are those, like some of the cast of De-Lovely, that look like modern folks playing dress up. I think that Lauren is correct in her point as well, that it comes from the...

    De-Lovely Clothing

    Robbie Williams did his rendition of De-Lovely in the movie. I thought it was pretty good myself. One thing that I point out to my girlfriend all the time is that people looked different back then. We of today visually wouldn't fit in back in the day even if we did dress like everyone else...

    The Indiana Jones jacket. Much hype, little substance?

    Personally I love my Wested horse hide. Light weight (compared to my tank of a motorcycle jacket), durable and surprisingly flexable & supple. Mine is dark enough to work with field adventure gear or a shirt & tie on the town. I can go with the Indy look wearing the fedora or the Red Pollard...

    4X Means what? and more ???

    Cowboy Hats... To get your hat size, take your head size in inches and divide by pi. This will give you your hat size. 23" = a 7 3/8 hat size. MattC is correct in that the "x" system means doodly squat in this day & age. Here's the Readers Digest version of the "x" system. To the best of my...

    De-Lovely Clothing

    The one outfit that Kevin Klein wore that I liked was his casual outfit in the MGM "Be a Clown" scene. The sweater vest remind me of something my Pop used to wear, and the flower is a very nice splash of color against the earthy tones of the clothes. The polkadot handkercheif and the nice...

    De-Lovely Clothing

    You're right about the custom made clothing Matt. Armani was the designer and taylor for Kevin Klein and several other leads. Although, since Cole Porter was fairly well off, one could assume that his clothes were probably custom fit for him. The hats could have been better though. A bit more...

    Hair cuts

    Well Mr. Riser, sorry I haven't been around for a few days. I'll be sure to check out what you have to show. Has Lauren shown you the material yet or is she hoarding to herself?;) BTW, which thread did you post the pictures at? Cheers! Dan

    Hair cuts

    Quite right Root! They did have style and flair. I've been trying to describe the hair cut to my sister-in-law (since she's a hair dresser) without saying anything about Nazi's. But, yes, they did have some great crisp style, from their hair cuts to their clothing. Too bad their politics went...
