VP: Thanks for the suggestion. No offence, but I don't think I want to do the golf shoe route. Especially used. The foot inprint already in the shoe will make it hard for it to conform to my feet. Had this disaster in the past. I would love to find a pair in the vintage new old stock. But, alas...
Fit is a must. I like wearing my lids. My only purchase that was too small was a Bowler Derby by Herbert Johnson for $10. Too good to pass up. Since then I've been trying to find one similar in quality that would fit, that won't break the bank.
Cheers!

Keep up the good work Jay. Maybe it will rub off on more than just a few. I'm trying the same thing at work. A Civil Engineering office can be quite casual most of the time. A little bit at a time I think I can get some of them to dress better. Here's to hoping the Golden Era of dress comes...
VP: For right now I'm looking in the $50 to $100 just because of cash flow. But later on I could go for the $100 to $300 range.
The style would be similar to the bluchers that L.B. Mayer (in the cream pinstripe suit) is wearing in the image below.
I came across these two today...
Hi all!
I've been hunting around for a good pair of brown & white leather Wingtip spectators. I had seen one thread by Zohar showcasing his custom Allen Edmunds "Chestnut" Wingtips, although very nice, I think they may be out of my price range. I checked out the Allen Edmunds site and all...
Can't disagree there. The costumes were ill fitting. Now, wether they did it for effect remains to be told. Personally I think they did it on purpose to make it look like dress-up anyway. Still was a fun film for kids back in the day. ;)
Cheers!

Oh, just a few more that were thought of.
Gosford Park
Cinderella Man
Last Man Standing
And although this one is in the 20's, 'Chicago' has some very stylish clothing.
Cheers!

Yet another odd offering off of the shelf,
'Bugsy Malone'. Very early style 30's costuming with a huge kids flair since the majority of the actors were kids. Cute musical & fun flick all the way around. I haven't seen it in a lot of years.
Cheers!
Dan
Another cute film to see, if you're looking for a warm and fuzzy film is I.Q.
Lots of fun, some 1950's fashon & some great looking cars. The Guy they got to play Ike is spot on for the Late President.
Cheers!
