    Hats of the Depression

    I think I agree with this. I'm surprised this thread is still open with all the politics thrown about. I was actually surprised to see an African American in a breadline with Anglo Americans. My perception of the golden era was that everything was segregated. I would also say, that as...

    Johnny Depp in talks to Play The Thin Man

    I think it should be left alone too. However, I think if they are going to do it, Robert Downy Jr. would be a much better choice for Nick than Johnny Depp.

    Parents: When May Our Children Start Dating?

    I haven't read this whole thread, but I didn't date much when I was a teenager. I was more of a nerd than popular. I have two children, one is four and the other is two. One child is a boy and the other a girl. I think I will allow them to date alone, with another individual, when they are...

    Libya - Deja Vu

    conflagration What an interesting thread. It will probably get closed soon. I just hope and pray that as few people get killed or wounded as possible in this latest conflagration. Other than that, I must keep my opinions to myself (what ever they may be [huh]).

    War interest but never served

    I think that the original poster is just curious why some people never served and have an interest in military history. I don’t think he was trying to insinuate anything. I agree with ukali1066 by 100%. Dr. Samuel Johnson had it right. "Every man thinks meanly of himself for not having been...

    War interest but never served

    I am actually very interested in WWII history, as all my uncles served in the services. I would have volunteered myself, but I wasn't born until 1968 :-( I also have an interest in the history of the War of Northern Aggression, but I was born too late for that one too.

    Shuron Glasses

    I have a face that is very similar to yours. How do the glasses work with a hat? I have two Akubras. One is a gray stylemaster (moonstone I believe). The other hat is a taupe fawn Camp Draft. I love the G-man look. But, I'm worried that my Stylemaster and Camp Draft may have brims that are...

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    Here is my man purse This is mine. Here is my man purse, except mine is a triple gusset. I've had it for about 6 years and it's still in great condition. As I've gotten more into stylistic clothes, I too hate to have stuff in my pockets. I don't take this everywhere, but when I do it looks...

    High waisted pants & the body shape of the "larger" men.

    I concur with the above posts. I'm a little portly, and love the high wasted pants (I wear a 34 inseam). Lovin' every minute of it!

    WWII Boots - Service, Jump, etc.

    Hi all, I am also looking for service shoes of the WWII style. Not so much to wear in reenacting, but they just look really good to me. Has any one bought from ATF lately? My birthday is coming up and I plan on my wife getting me a U.S. made pair for my birthday. Thanks, Brian

    Before and After Vintage -- Gentlemen

    John in Covina, that is a very insightful post. I have a picture of my grandfather and grandmother (on my father's side), and I really look up to him. He was a wise man who lived simply. I've noticed that I have a tendency to copy his style from the 1940's.

    Why leather soled dress shoes?

    I have been converted. My next purchase of shoes will have leather soles and I will buy galoshes (sp?) with them.

    Are suits for work on the way out?

    I very much agree with James21. I feel much more confident in a suite. A little aside. The family and I to Shul yesterday. We all dressed up for the occasion as we usually do. My brother, who is staying with us, stayed at home and slept in. When we returned, he was awake and commented...

    Are suits for work on the way out?

    I think it will swing back. Personally, I feel more in the mood to work when I'm in a suite. If I'm just in a shirt and jeans, I'm more likely to become a slacker that day... I think more people are like that than would admit (present company excluded, of course). Soon, business will figure...

    The Declining Popularity of the Necktie

    I'm currently not working, but I love ties. Since I've been laid off from my regular job, I have been making it a point to wear nicer clothes (though not suites because I've gained too much weight, but, I've been loosing the weight now to try to fit into my suites again). Has there been any...
