If I had to pick one girl from the golden era
In all honesty I don't get it either and belong to those who think Grace Kelly to be rather boring. She was certainly elegant and pretty - if you want either "classically" or "conventionally" beautiful. The "It" - that something more - is missing in my view: Something "unusual", spicy or...- Fastuni

Have women... in the West at least... "Flipped the Script?"
Quite so. Some girls constantly make very poor choices for boyfriends/partners and wonder why they end up only in abusive relationships with "jerks". I don't buy the notion that women have always "naturally" been attracted to the "raw appeal" of brutish jerks with no sense of responsibility...- Fastuni

Undershirts still rebellious?
Funny isn't it? A white T-Shirt is seen as underwear not to be worn outside, but put a silly print on it (or if it is any color other than white) and it is the standard clothing for the great majority. I know people whose "wardrobe" for spring/winter consists solely of various non-white...- Fastuni

Cream twill belted suit, age?
Pure 1970s - the oldest they may be is late 60's. Interesting is that the hook is by the German "Gutos" and the suit made in Vienna, but the zipper is by "Lightning" and everything is in English. -

Have women... in the West at least... "Flipped the Script?"
Quite so. There certainly are enough women who are naive or complex-ridden enough to put up with immature, bratty "men". Dependency usually needs two. I get what you mean with the appeal of "Neanderthals" to some women, but doesn't this "type" at least offer a sense of protection and brings...- Fastuni

Have women... in the West at least... "Flipped the Script?"
Maybe a merging of the post-modern "man-child" who cannot do basic tasks, with the imaginary pre-feminist "he-man" who refuses to do basic tasks, because there is a woman around. The result conjures an image of a toddler commanding adults around to feed and clean him.- Fastuni

Hair cuts
Are you not concerned about the smell? It's good for the hair, but I wouldn't walk around with olive-oil in the hair. Better use a bit coconut oil or vaseline.- Fastuni

1930s German Sport Suit w/ knickers
Even leaving out the obvious ideological difference of purpose between ADEFA and NRA, they can't be seen as direct equivalents. German industry and handcrafting had it's coercive structures. All branches of industry were part of the "Reichsverbände" (Reich syndicates). All artisan...- Fastuni

Are There Any Men Who Do Not Talk Much Left?
Being deafened by gunfire is seldomly voluntarily. No one forced the youngsters to expose themselves to the noise barrage of headphones (turned to the max) and nightclubs.- Fastuni

Are There Any Men Who Do Not Talk Much Left?
You described me very well, Shangas. :D I am reserved towards strangers but like (good) conversation when socializing. And conversation is impossible in violently noisy, chaotic nightclubs (with crappy music and criminally overpriced drinks) - unless one wants to cry oneself hoarse. (As a...- Fastuni

30s-50s British Suit Trouser photo resource
I have very similar British trousers (blue-grey) with self-belt (but buttonfly). They were made by Hepsworth and are dated 1948. They have also outward facing double pleats. -
1930s K & M 3 piece suit
It is gorgeous and deserves a good home. I'd grab this instantly, but with 21 (max. 22) inches sleeves, this one really is an exceptionally short one.- Fastuni

What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?
It can't be worse than flame wars between Greece and Turkey or among the ex-Yugoslavian states. Many online comment sections are like public toilets without a cleaner. Best to treat them as such... in other words stay far away. Clever youtube uploaders disable the comment section and ratings...- Fastuni

Show us your 'vintage inspired' suits ....
Great stuff Chasseur. The Grey checked sport-suit is wonderful. GBR, althought TT will certainly give the details, I just want to point out that his suit is oriented towards Continental European styles (i.e. bellied lapels and suspender straps). Two inside pockets were standard on Continental... -
Have women... in the West at least... "Flipped the Script?"
Haha, my thoughts exactly. Keeping in shape, cook and clean sound like basic skills every human (in a relationship and particularly when not) ought to know, least one ends up desolate, hungry and dirty. :D Saying every unmarried person having sex is ¨immoral¨ and ¨messed up¨ who will ¨die off...- Fastuni

30s-50s British Suit Trouser photo resource
Sure. As you say every garment has an appreciative or non-appreciative audience. Some like women in skirts... some think jeans are more sexy. Or taking two popular and frequently forms of contemporary female leg-wear: very tight shorts/hot pants and loose, low-crotched "harem pants". I... -
30s-50s British Suit Trouser photo resource
Well, interesting thoughts, and while it advocates high-waisted trousers, I disagree with the assertions. The "aesthetic of proportion" in fine tailoring which the author refers to, is more accurately that of the 1930-40's. And it is very much meant to be "sexy". The male ideal is just...
