    Black tuxedo and….

    Absolutely not an option. Striped (they are not "pinstriped" but an own category... there were also check and houndstooth) morning trousers belong to the cutaway and Stroller/Stresemann (simple black jacket). Tuxedos are evening wear - so they are mutually exclusive.

    Vintage Eyeglasses

    If the metal cable irritates behind the ears, just put a thin coat of varnish over them. Makes it also smoother and it still is flexible.

    I had this for some time... got to finally let out the sleeves.

    A quite classic black pinstripe DB. I greatly like the label.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Don't care for the fad, but ¨Cronuts¨ get my approval. Puff pastry, whether savoury or sweet, is great and I never really liked varieties of oil-fried dough (donuts or their hole-less European cousins). Regarding gluten-free, I once accidentally bought penne pasta made from corn & chickpea...

    Hello, where are you living and what specific period or type of garments are you looking for?

    Show us their suits

    Patrick, I don't think the single link button is too formal... true it is often found on tuxedo jackets, but I think it rather makes it playful and relaxed. It was not unusual on European sportcoats/suits: Here three brothers from Sweden, everyone sporting a link-button sport suit...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I couldn´t care less what hats Mr. Williams (or any other celebrity) is wearing. This doesn´t bother me at all. The downside is that it feeds the narrow-minded assumption of way too many people that someone wearing a hat must be mimicking some celeb. They may assume so if they like... but what...

    German Leather Jacket Resource

    1930-40's leather jacket with 27 inches sleeves... very good for my long arms! This time with straight yoke, which is in Central Europe a bit less frequent then the typical scallops. "FELWA" was a high quality leather garment maker reknown among aviators. The name means "Feine Lederwaren" (fine...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Worst of all on ebay (at least the German ebay) there is this annoying "fashion guide" on the start page: "Get the Pharrel Williams Look for Summer"... directing you to hats, bow ties, work-shirts, Red wing boots and tuxedo-shirts (to be combined with shorts). :eusa_doh...

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    I have a reddish brown 40's suit and it looks best combined with a white shirt and a bright red tie. The neutral white of the shirt tames the "fiery" red. A pale beige or pink would work great, too. With a pale blue shirt a dark blue tie would work well. Here some (terrible) photos... but...

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    To be honest, a suit made from the red, white & blue Seersucker (particularly with a boater) looks like something appropriate for a political campaign event in the Southern US. I'd rather go for a more subtle, narrow-striped, single-color Seersucker.

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    This was bound to happen. People out there are so predictable with their narrow-minded, tiny pop-cultural reference pools. :eek:

    What are you wearing today??

    I like the strongly curved brim front of the hat. :) I do that as well, as I wear my hats a bit tilted backwards.

    If I had to pick one girl from the golden era

    Dorothy Coonan Wellman had a very natural charm... and even looked great in men´s workwear clothes. Too bad she didn´t make any more films after 1933 (apart from playing a nurse in a war movie in 1945) as I liked her acting in The Wild Boys of the Road (1933): She also was one of the...

    Dunno. Must have done something right to win the favor of the old garment goddess.
