    What are you wearing today??

    Beautiful, Emily. Nice to know women with such taste as those of you who post on the FL exist somewhere. Anthony, are you impressed with the quality and fit of Tyrwhitt shirts? Their catalog seems to have found me. Their shirts are certainly more varied in color and pattern than what I usually...

    Beautiful 3-piece DB suit

    yep that was my thought too - that German DB looks like a better made suit - with the buttonholes on the sleeves, the patterned lining of the trousers, and the beautiful buttons - but I like the fabric of the one I snagged better, and felt like I'd be more likely to wear it, rather than have it...

    Beautiful 3-piece DB suit

    I believe I was the lucky snapper-upper. The measurements were also eerily on point for me. I'll drop photos of it in the show us your suits thread after it arrives. Did you see this one...

    What are you wearing today??

    Headed out to dinner. I want to make a quick plug for the Cordial Churchman, a mom and pop from SC who handcraft bowties for very reasonable prices. The one I am sporting today is a wool number I received from them this week. I have four of their bowties - their patterns are classic, and they...

    It's been added to that thread. Thanks Enigma!

    The Thread to Display 1950s Suits

    Gents, A few things I didn't snap pictures of - the pants have a watch pocket on the right front side, double pleats, and dropped belt loops. suspender buttons are sown inside the waistband. The trousers are secured by a simple snap button closure, and a zipper. Jacket is petal-lined, and it...

    Those slacks are incredible. Are they gabardine? They look almost velvety in texture. -PMH

    What are you wearing today??

    Chasseur, as a long-time lurker, I've always enjoyed your photos. Your bride is stunning in that dress, and you cut a fine figure in white tie. I particularly like the flower in your lapel - adds just the right dash of color. I attended a party tonight, and wore one of my favorite suits...

    Show us your suits

    Gents, I got this suit awhile back but wore it tonight to a party, and I thought it would be a good opportunity to showcase the suit, and to invite the collective wisdom of the Lounge in terms of likely age, and any details that jump out at you about it. A few things I didn't snap pictures of...

    What are you wearing today??

    Had dinner tonight with dear friends I used to work with. It's finally gotten close to something approximating cold in the swamps of H-Town.

    Lets see your Rolex watches

    I wear my grandfather's Oyster Perpetual from 1971! It has a cool personalized face - with the logo for the Naches River Festival of which he was the chairman.

    "Holy Grail" Suit I Wouldn't Have Expected

    Hey now! Let's take care not to piss on the aesthetic sensibilities of others. While I have only lurked on occasion at the aforementioned trad forum, I am a fan of the old faithful sack suit, and have a number of them in my closet. Living in Texas I draw the line at "go-to-hell" pants and...

    Trying to find a collar like this:

    Converting a tunic shirt is an easy task for a tailor. They simply snip the collar and add a button hole on the back to secure the detachable collar into place. All of my clergy shirts are standard dress shirts that were thus altered.

    The general decline in standards today

    I see a distasteful taste for scandal which is amplified in our culture in comparison to others. But all cultures have distasteful elements, and it could be worse - we could be sacrificing virgins as part of our harvest rituals, forcing widows to be immolated on their husband's funeral pyres...

    The general decline in standards today

    "Manufactured outrage" indeed. To me, one of the most distasteful elements of our culture is the relentless hunger for scandal and the never-ending succession of media-ordained villains who perpetrate it. The media is entirely complicit in feeding us both scandal and villains who we can feel...

    The general decline in standards today

    I am an Anglican my friend! We make a religion out of dogged fence-sitting! I have no concerns with the debate actually - people are most welcome to see things as progressing or declining, and there is plenty of evidence for both positions! Which is my point. Society has always been...

    The general decline in standards today

    I'm as suspicious of narratives of decline as I am of narratives of progress. Whether the Golden Era was golden depends entirely on who and where one was as he or she lived it. And how can we quantify decline or progress? There are as many answers to that question as there are historians who...

    My VINTAGE ZOOT SUIT – c. 1940

    No need to excuse it! Words are important enough to quibble over (and quibbling over them is fun). It seemed, given the conversation on this thread about the transient nature of zoot fashion: the quick mutations in the style and the fact that so few genuine articles are around today, ephemera...

    My VINTAGE ZOOT SUIT – c. 1940

    If you'll pardon my curiosity, what prompted you to put the suit up for auction Marc? Seems like such a rare example of sartorial ephemera would make a great conversation piece.
