    TREASURE OF THE TEMPLARS!

    Ladies and Gentleman. First off let me say I will feel like a complete idiot if this has already been announced but I am lazy (and proud of it) and shall proclaim to all of you today that the cast and crew who brought you: THE GREATEST FAN FILM EVER MADE (not that I'm bias or anything)...

    Vintage Eyeglasses

    Out of character? Hmm... You don't know that man... Really though that was a very common hair style, the only difference is it isn't combed back, but that's exactly what it would have looked like for a common man, of course not for a photograph of catalogue but believe me, my hair is cut and...

    Men Who Make Bowties Look Good

    Figures. Before I edited my post above I made mention of Bing Crosby, but I forgot to re-write him when I edited the post. Blast! *Dan goes back to his Bing shrine asking for forgiveness and hoping atonement will not be necessary as it so often is.

    Men Who Make Bowties Look Good

    I own several bow ties, and wear them as often as possible. A word of advice, in my humble opinion, I have seen many men wear them with oxford collar short sleeve shirts. This is not flattering. I believe I have only seen one man, Zohar actually, whos' bow tie is complemented by a short sleeve...

    The style of the suit.

    In all my times with fellow vintage appreciators I have yet to see one walking around holding an extra pair of matching trousers.... how strange :rolleyes: Those are usually matching knickers, but I read in a 28' catalogue one time for sport suits that they would come with matching trousers...

    The style of the suit.

    Oh Wildroot you definitely didn't see me in my three piece on Saturday at the expo. I was wearing a dark brown late thirties three piece, notched lapel, not belt, no nothing. Just your everyday run-of-the-mill ahem... banker suit. I happen to love the three piece single. Now if I find a belted...

    The style of the suit.

    Darrel, Yes it is the same one I wore to the Queen Mary. I'm actually liquidating that suit. Get ready for my trip to France. Hopefully I'll come back with a DOUBLE BREASTED 44 LONG BELTED BACK SUIT FOR WILDROOT SO I CAN HAVE HIS DANG THREE PIECE HE'S PROMISED ME IN TRADE!!!!! with that...

    The style of the suit.

    I agree with Wild Root about the period pads, although I see nothing wrong with modifying one era to fit the specs of another. Art Fawcett had an awesome deadstock early fifties double breasted suit that was featured in Esquire Magazine, that had about a 1946-1948 cut, and as much as I...

    Spectator Shoes

    I had a chance to get a pair of brown and white Alden specs at a car show for $35, but I was there for parts for my junked 1936 and couldn't swing it. What was I thinking? THE CAR IS STILL A BUCKET OF BOLTS!!!! haha Allen Edmonds has a standard black and white in their catalogue as a regular...

    ties

    Wholeheartedly agreed. I like the four in hand a lot. When I dress forties I prefer my ties to have a "been sitting behind the gumshoe desk a little too long today" look. and I don't care if I dress forties I still wear collar bars. I look at a collar bar the same way I look at French Cuffs...

    ties

    Most 40's movie stars, and John Kerry, did a Windsor knot. Do "Belly Huggers" refer to short ties? Regards, Master Daniel A. Riser Esq

    AND GOD MADE THE THRIFT SHOP AND SAID THAT IT WAS GOOD

    Gentlemen, with all this talk about tuxedos, and suits for $100 on ebay etc etc. I urge you to find the hole in the wall thrift shops or for the insecure amongst us...charity stores. These places are just waiting to be discovered by vintage guys like us. Let me give you an example...

    Looking for a "Bogie" hat on a budget..

    Believe it or not this is a great hat, and close to Hump's style. http://www.villagehatshop.com/vhs_biltmore_bogart.html

    A straw and a stare.

    Well I got the hat in yesterday evening. Lauren was the first to see it, and we agree. It is incredible, and the pictures DO NOT do it justice Regards, Daniel Riser

    Now this is classy

    Matt, I don't want dancer's shoes, I was hoping there was something like Stacy Adams that carried this combo! It's very classy! Regards, Daniel Riser

    The Car she is mine!

    When I get the 36 here, and finish her, we should get both cars out on the road. Lauren and I will be up there for sure. We'll have our own summit. Fedora Lounge only ;-) haha Regards, Daniel Riser

    A straw and a stare.

    It's imperative that my generation (18-24) recognize the majesty of this era. Some day in my wisened years on this earth, there will be a child that will remind me of days long ago, oddly enough I'll reflect on the same moment of nostalgia that my grandparent's reflect on every time I come to...
