    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    for 50 bucks or less you should be able to get a Seiko 5 automatic that is solid stainless steel. Search ebay for seiko 5 or seiko automatic.

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    I have the same problem. But it is really easy to find vintage watches that are stainless steel. Thanks to ebay and my own silly enthusiasms I have many more watches than I can wear. Also, solid gold watches can be had affordably. You can generally find good Hamiltons and Elgins in solid...

    Looks like a bubbleback but with some crazy dial added. Any idea what the bottom dial does?

    Pants theory

    Don't buy the ebay buzz rickson's. I have purchased them direct from Japan and with shipping they come out to about 100-110 and are well worth it. They are the best Chino trousers you will ever own. The measurement of rise isn't meaningful unless you also know the size of waist. My size...

    Your Philosopher of Choice is ...

    Harp, I am sorry, but wouldn't it be St. John of the Cross who writes like Plato, and not vice versa? Also, my French is pretty rusty and before it was rusty it was just bad, but I am not really sure what you mean by "en raison de speculate." At any rate, Plato's Socrates seems to make it...

    Levis

    Paul Trynka, who is an authority on Levi's, thinks those are the correct age, but doesn't see anything to suggest that they were made by Levi Strauss or Jacob Davis rather than by Boss of the Road or some other early maker. There is a superfuture thread discussing that pair and another pair...

    What about this one?

    "...just the question of potential stigma associated with this type of coat." Those are your words from the original question. If you want to wear the coat, then wear it. But it seems kind of weird to get upset when people answer your question in the exact way that you already knew they...

    What about this one?

    You may resent the reference to the gestapo all you like, but I think that is the first thing most americans will think of when they see that coat. If you are in any kind of management type position you should probably get ready to be referred to as either Goebbels or Colonel Klink.

    Jeans

    Indy, what sort of material are you using? Selvedge? What fabric weight? Who makes the fabric? Is it Cone, Japanese, or made somewhere else? Do you have vintage style buttons and rivets? I would like to know more. Also, you should really shop these over on the Vintage Leather Jacket...

    This is the repro that, I think, Repro Guy is referring to, the Blue Bell Wrangler repros that are only available in europe and japan: http://www.oipolloi.com/store/Wrangler/13MWZ-Blue-Bell-Jeans-Dry-Denim/293.html

    Jeans

    13mwz is the model name for the basic Wrangler Men's Jeans. They are slim and have a high-rise and straight leg and have been cut the same since the late 40s or early 50s. According to the lore of Wrangler Blue Bell, 13mwz stands for the 13th Men's Western Zipper model of jeans. The earliest...

    Bryan Ferry

    I am a huge fan of the the first four or five Roxy Music records. The debut and For Your Pleasure especially. I like the eighties stuff too, just not as much. Ferry's solo stuff is great too, do any of you guys like Eno's first few solo records like Taking Tiger Mountain and Here Come the...

    Cologne and perfume

    I should start by saying how much I hate standing near men who smell like cologne. It always makes me think that they are covering up for some unimaginably strong body odor. So I ten to gravitate toward citrus Three I wear really often: Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet Guerlain's Vetiver...

    Great rural American 1940s photographer

    Was thinking of posting this and did a search and found that it already had been. Oh well. This is such great stuff. This and squareamerica.com are great for pictures of what people really wore in the first half of the last century.
