    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    LOL, I don't have much choice in the matter, my money goes towards other things. I figure if it was good enough for my grandfather who smoked Hav-a-tampa's, Dutch Masters and Garcia y Vega's all his life, it's good enough for me.

    Is style stuck in a 2 decade rut?

    Every successive generation feels the need to throw off the fashion shackles of the previous generation. Over many decades this resulted in a more and more casual mode of dress until now that it has grown so preposterous as to have people wearing what amounts to pajamas in public. The modern...

    I am seriously considering giving up my cell phone

    We have AT&T U-Verse and it's the same way with the phones, there's a backup battery but it lasts 6 hours or so and that's it. Hence the pre-paid cellphone for emergency purposes. Luckily, our power never goes out longer than a few hours here, but I can relate to Maryland. I lived 5 years in...

    I don't have any solid color ties in my wardrobe... maybe it's time to expand the collection.

    I am seriously considering giving up my cell phone

    I gave up my cell phone. Amazingly, Jacksonville has pay phones all over the place so there's always one at hand and by giving up the cell I'm saving myself $60/month. I still keep a prepaid cell but I don't give anyone the number and it just stays in the car when I go on long trips in case of...

    Pencil Mustache

    I've enjoyed this thread but I don't think I've seen pics of any loungers with said facial hair (correct me if I'm wrong). I've been sporting the look for over a year now and have met with many positive compliments.

    Some tips to help those who are clueless about men's fashion

    I have 2 dress shirts that have contrast collar and cuffs, both are french cuff. Back in the day when cuffs/collars were detachable they would be white while the shirt was a different color so I disagree on this one, methinks the author might have had the 80's in mind when he wrote this since...

    Staying Cool: Look, 1948

    Is it me or does Radio Reporter Ben Gramer's coat look like an early lounge suit? It's even made of rayon (blech! too hot for summer use).

    Show us your TIES

    First off I know not all of these ties are vintage but quite a few are hand me downs from my dad and the rest are Goodwill finds. I'm interested in any comments and possible ages on them. Left is a Louisville Rhodes, age unknown, presumed to be 1980's Right is a Lombardi I purchased in...

    What DO you want for Christmas?

    Thanks Rue, my life got sidetracked for quite awhile now but I was inspired the other day to come back here when I scored 4 vintage ties at Goodwill for $1.99 each. I also have some free time now that my wife finally is here in the USA.

    Hankies not be sneezed at

    I got into the use of carrying a bandana/kerchief when I was using nasal snuff (Poschl not copenhagen or other such nasty "dips"). Now I don't wear a pair of pants without one in the pocket. I have endured the ridicule over the years from using one (being called "toxic pocket" as a nickname...

    What DO you want for Christmas?

    I'm with Bruce Wayne on this one. Otherwise I'd like a medium brown 3pc sharkskin suit, Burgundy Wingtips and a Stetson Whippet in a complementary color. Yeah I'm really dreaming here lol.

    What do you NOT Want for Christmas?

    "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." That being said, no more "Gifts from the heart" that involve the complete Lawrence Welk collection "Because I know you like vintage music." And Underwear... when I lived in the Philippines random people would gift me underwear for Christmas...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hello everyone, while I'm not exactly new, I've been on hiatus for a long time as I was working in Alaska then concentrating on getting my wife's Visa so she could emigrate to the USA. She's here now and I find myself with time to spare so it's back to getting my vintage wardrobe back together...

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    How do you like that tobacco? I've been thinking of picking up some of their tins but I've read mixed reviews... especially when it comes to the Plumcake.
