    NICE 1940's FIGURAL TIES

    Now launching into some of my 1940's ties - slimming down the collection. Here are 3 figurals with the typical short, wide construction. Left to right: 1) Brown rayon satin duck with cattails - swirly jacquard weave. Labeled "Majestic Wrinkleproof Construction" 2) Dark purplish blue...

    1920's/30's ONE PIECE OCTAGONAL TWEED CAP - SIZE 7 1/4

    here is a superb example of the highly desirable, very collectible, "8 Point" or "One Piece Octagonal" tweed cap. This one, from the labeling and the price, appears to be from the 20's or 30's - Made by Wolfe's Caps for W.J. Wilson, Victoria, British Columbia. I have not been able to find any...

    Pocket Knife

    When I was a company commander, I used to keep a desk drawer full of the little Victorinox and Wenger "classic" knives - when my Soldiers did something noteworthy, instead of putting them in for their 10th award of the Army Achievement Medal, I would give them a pocket knife and a 4 day pass -...

    Pocket Knife

    Never heard that theory - I personally think that, in my neck of the woods, the decline of the pocket knife started when the schools began to ban them as "weapons" a few years ago. No man or boy was ever without a pocket knife when I was growing up - Dad always made sure he had his pocket...

    Pocket Knife

    Case is the brand I have sworn by for my whole life - if going for a new one, be sure to get one that is designated "CV" for Chrome Vanadium - that is actually carbon steel, which takes and keeps an edge much better than stainless. If you must get a stainless blade, also get you an "Arkansas...

    What are you wearing today??

    I had noticed that as well on some of Fred Astaire's outfits - only there was a difference in the way button down collars laid in those shirts - many modern button down collars seem to have an untidy outward bulge when you wear them with a regular necktie - a bow tie covers up the space, so I...

    Spear point collar shirts

    I ordered a couple of shirts this morning - will take a look at the new colors/patterns as well! Looking forward to seeing them!

    Spear point collar shirts

    Something in camel, dark khaki, olive, or forest green would be nice solid colors - also some tattersalls or checks with fall colors would be good patterns.

    What are you wearing today??

    Well, I reckon I do love my wife and daughter - normally I would rather slam my head in a car door than go to a street festival - but they talked me into taking them to the Hendersonville, NC Apple Festival today. Not a total loss as I got a nice bag of Gala apples (my favorite)!

    A Few More 1930's-Early 1940's Ties

    Here are a few more ties from the late 30's - early 40's - now I am getting down towards the ones I don't want to sell. These are, as all the ones I've offered have been, in very good shape - a couple might stand a light press or steaming, but are all clean and free of damage or significant...

    2 pr Nice Fall Shoes! BOTH PAIR SOLD

    Here are 2 pair of super shoes for the upcoming fall season - they are relatively new manufacture (80's - early 90's), but are well made and have some great vintage detail: 1) Bostonian "Crown Windsor" Norwegian toe bluchers. These have a super "London Tan" color, and a pebble grain that...

    1/26/1946 dated sportcoat with slacks and tie

    Yep - seen it done in all sorts of ways - legs of trousers slimmed down, lapels cut down, etc. I saw a DB from the late 40's not long ago, and the butchery performed on those lapels almost made me cry.

    White Bucks

    Hope it is cooler up in Cataloochee than it was in Arden this past weekend! Been awhile since I have been in that part of Haywood County, but I believe Cataloochee Ranch is a good ways down the creek from the "real" Cataloochee Valley. I will give these folks a look - I saw a pair of nice old...

    Red Rubber Soles on Suede Bucks Are there any shoe repair shops (especially in Southeastern US) that can replace the red rubber soles that are usually found on suede bucks? I have a super older pair of Church's that I have stopped wearing because the heels are so worn down, but the leather is...

    Vintage and Modern Bow Ties

    No interest in bow ties anymore? I will try posting some of the bolder 1940's ties and a few more of the 30's ties in the next couple of weeks.

    What are you wearing today??

    Great outfit! I think the jacket looks fine in length - I had an Oxxford suit that was almost identical to that one - the lapel width, the patch pockets, and the weave - except it was a ruddy brown color with a dark brown windowpane. The pants were single-pleated, but a very generous cut in...
