    NRA Top Coat

    It it fits you, fantastic! Looks like an incredible material and even though overcoats generally don't get as expensive as suits, $100 is (or should be) a complete steal in my opinion!

    Vintage Spade Sole Shoes

    Sure! Is its existence due to the shape of the last cutting closer in on the middle of the shoe? Why is it so elusive in modern shoes?

    Vintage Spade Sole Shoes

    Beauties! Is there a name for the area of shoe construction by the inside arch of the foot/shoe? The high inner arc is something I never see in modern shoes and really plays a significant part in making the lines of a shoe appear elegant. In my opinion, the lack of this high exterior arc...

    Can Size 7 1/2 be altered to Size 7 1/4

    Cover it in peanut butter and then sit on it. ...wait, I meant whatever you do, don't cover it in peanut butter and then sit on it!

    NEWS BOY CAPS

    Sounds great! Let's see some pictures! The buckle can't fix this sizing problem for you? Was it not constructed to function rather added just for looks?

    Don't be a suit wimp!

    I'd be curious to know if seersucker was ever applied to any more exciting styles, such as belted backs. Perhaps the fabric would be considered too busy for such intricate tailoring jobs? I know I have seen original and repro seersucker 50's slacks that look great. But 30's pleated pockets...

    Matt Deckard Apparel

    Is this Matt's take? It could be a trick of the eye created from body type, angle the photograph was taken, or even something like an optical illusion created by the pinstripes in Alex's suit. But to my eye, Dagwood's suit looks distinctly 20's or early 30's and LexyBeast's suit looks more...

    Matt Deckard Apparel

    If the suits are the same just the builds of the wearer are different, why would a client need to be fitted in person? That makes it sound like these are basically off the rack items, no? I was trying to pay Matt a compliment and inquire about some details. Too bad he doesn't check this...

    Anyone ever been to The Edison in L.A.?

    Long lines wrapping around the corner to get in. The place is packed with Los Angeles' up and coming rich & pampered elite sheep. Expensive drinks. Incredible architecture and atmosphere makes it all worth it though! I'd suggest heading there on a weekday rather than a weekend to beat the...

    Hair cuts

    It's hard to go back from that cut, isn't it Brian?! Are you familiar with Carl Sonny Leyland from the rockin blues era of the Krewmen circa 1985? They had some really killer hair cuts at about this time. I think members of Red Hot & Blue & similar UK rockin folk also sported skin around...

    Cool but sold stuff on Ebay, NOT apparel

    For 15 bucks I am the proud new owner of an original 1916, newspaper advertisement for one of the first action adventure serials starring the screens most famous and death defying heroine.... THE IRON CLAW with Pearl White! The full page ad measures 18" x 23"... so it's almost more of...

    30's~40's Work Boots

    I completely agree, except I don't think they are truly a dress boot in the sense of the upcoming Allen Edmonds offerings. They are just a fully customizable, excellent boot that is fully indebted to vintage stylings like none other on the market.

    What are you wearing today??

    Wow! Fantastic!!! And who could imagine such quality for that price! Are there any details contained that may hint at where it was created? So all one needs to do is travel to Afghanistan, huh? hmmm :rolleyes:

    JC Penney: American Living

    My dog had to go to the bathroom and wouldn't go to sleep until he did. But each time we went outside, he would remember just how cold it was and would want to go back in... repeat for several hours and that was my night. :eusa_doh: lol I came up with this line on the subway and so decided to...

    I agree, NYC winters are great for vintage heavy wool clothes. But this weekend has sure been rough! I was out walking the dog at 3 AM last night... quite cool I must say... :eek: lol
