    Is it or is it not, that's the question?

    Nice jacket. You'll enjoy it, I'm sure! (hint: don't do the bottom button up)

    Plain suits or plain shirts & ties?

    I agree with Mr. Jones: wear what makes you comfortable, otherwise it will looik like a costume (no matter what you wear). Almost all of my ties are vintage and I wear them with everything. Many of them are quite vividly patterned but they go well with quite conservative suits. I've never...

    My cheerful discussion...

    Making a great vintage find certainly makes my day (I have a few gorgeous period neckties that cost less than a dollar! That is a stellar day!!) A good book, a good cup of tea and the time to enjoy both. Family and friends (cliche, but true) Great thread, Wild Root!

    how do you style your hair?

    Mine tends to look like Einstein's (unfortunately, I don't have the genius; just the hair)

    How much stuff did these 40's guys own?

    According to my dad (who was in his early 20s then), not much! Fabric was rationed, If you were lucky, you'd have a couple of suits and a couple of pairs of shoes; and you wore them until they wore out.

    Putting it all together

    I can see Paisley's picture at home; I checked at work, too (just to be sure--really!!!!) and couldn't see it there. The combo works well.

    White Socks

    For what it's worth, I wore them once to a fetish party (don't ask!) I decided I didn't want to wear black leather like everyone else so I wore a pair of vintage style boxers (Brooks Brothers' French Backs), a singlet, vintage police boots and black socks and garters. The response --from both...

    White Socks

    Exactly, it's a sense of security leading to greater self-confidence.

    White Socks

    I have a couple of pairs of these. They're not as uncomfortable as they look. (That's not to say that they're really comfy...) I would never wear them with white sports socks, though!

    A disturbing trend

    Thanks for raising the issue.

    Polyester?

    Wild Root, I agree with you whole-heartedly. I was trying to point out (badly perhaps) that it wasn't always anathema in fashion circles. If I came across as a polyester advocate, it was unintentional!

    Source for hardback books?

    I use abebooks all the time. It's fantastic!

    Monocles

    Try here http://www.eyeglasses.com/monocle_eyewear/ I've always wanted to, too. I've got a vintage one but it has a plastic frame but the vintage specs I tried to get lenses for broke when the optician tried to take the old lenses outso I'm very leery about doing anything with it...

    Show us your vintage patterns!

    Make me number three on the list! I've ordered this one; it's 1910-ish but it's the style I've been wanting. http://www.pastpatterns.com/1487.html

    Viva Las Vegas

    Marty, I don't smoke, drink or gamble either but was "dragged" to Vegas last summer and had a fabulous time!! Definitely take in a show (we did the Follies Bergere; it was great and [relatively] inexpensive!) Walk a lot, there's so much to see. If you have time to rent a car and drive out to...

    Fur on Men

    I suspect it would depend heavily on the tailoring. I think a well tailored coat with a fur lining would be not that different from a regular coat: very sharp (and very warm).
