    Ordering Japanese Real McCoys...

    On topic, if you actually want to order Real McCoy's Japan, there are respectable middlemen (I recommend http://www.bid-service.jp/) you can contact who will purchase items for you from Japan and mail them to Europe or USA for a ten percent fee. I made a post on it for the vintage leather...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    I am wearing my white's right now. I love them. There are no other boots in the world that are anything like them. They look much more extreme in the photo than they do when you are actually wearing them. The heel is about the same height as the heel on a pair of Wellingtons or similar...

    A sad note

    I like freedom. I think that some people do things that I wouldn't with that freedom: smoke, drink, drugs, etc. But still I would rather live in a society where adults are free to make mistakes and live their lives. I have made tons of mistakes; more than I can remember, and if I could...

    Book recomendations about old time carnivals.

    Ricky Jay has written two incredible books about the history of carnival entertainment: Learned Pigs and Fire Proof Women; and Jay's Journal of Anomolies. he has a new book out that I haven't yet read. They are all large and full of incredible illustrations and worth every penny. FWIW, I...

    Bow Ties

    Off topic, but this has bothered me for a while: is there a name for the haircut he has? It is preppy and sort of swinging 60s anglophile--both things I normally like--yet somehow very ugly/obnoxious. It reminds me of the sort of haircut a racecar driver or a playboy might wear, and it strikes...

    goatskin civi jackets--why not more?

    At least one reason, though probably not the main reason, is that most people have no clue what goatskin looks like. I have a 40s Goatskin 3/4 length that the seller described as Horsehide. In the absence of a label, 99/100 people couldn't recognize goatskin if their lives depended on it. My...

    Buzz Rickson Catalog?

    I don't think that any of those catalogs are available in the US because none of those companies market here, but the Real McCoys catalogs occasionally show up on ebay. You probably already have these, but here is Buzz's online catalog: http://www.buzzricksons.jp/top.html and Real...

    These Ain't Photographs!

    I think it started in the late sixties/early seventies when abstract art had begun to grow stale and photography was beginning to be accepted as a serious art form. Artists worried that photography had supplanted the oil painting in figurative art could show that painting was still capable of...

    Steve McQueen - Style

    This makes me crazy, I am going to come off somewhat like a zealot, and somewhat deranged, but bear with me, sweatshirts are something I take very seriously. To me, Beginthebeguine's comments are like somebody saying in a thread on Peak lapel double breasted suits, "just get what's cheaper, a...

    30s/40s shirt ??

    In older photos and period movies I usually notice shirts like these: http://www.rakuten.co.jp/earthmarket/460157/597188/794657/ http://www.rakuten.co.jp/earthmarket/460157/597188/795216/ http://www.rakuten.co.jp/earthmarket/460157/597188/794658/...

    Steve McQueen - Style

    I am pretty certain that Toys McCoys will not sell directly to the states. Your best bet to order from there is probably to use a middle man that specializes in getting japanese stuff to Europe and the States. I have used http://www.bid-service.jp/home.html in the past and he does a really...

    You never said anything about how much you are willing to spend. So, do you want one with the sleeves on: http://www.toys-mccoy.com/store/mcsweat_long.html or off: http://www.toys-mccoy.com/store/mcsweat.html either one will probably end up running about 175-200 american to get it...
