    Watch Chains

    I should warn, most of these old vest-pocket pens and pencils are only gold-filled. Polish them sparingly, or you'll strip off all the gold.

    Purchasing my first Fedora

    Take it from someone who lives in one of the hottest countries on earth - In summertime, you don't want to wear a felt hat. Felt hats are designed for cold-weather wear. If the weather is cool, or if it's wintertime, you wear felt, to keep in the heat. In summertime, if you wear a felt hat...

    Man Cave/Vintage Lounge - Thoughts, anyone? (Heavy with photos)

    If you're a writer (and I mean a REAL writer who does things by hand), a desk with a leather insert (or a blotting-pad ontop) is almost essential.

    There Oughta Be a Dress Code...

    People who distract themselves too much with phones and earphones have only themselves to blame for any resulting stupidity on their part.

    There Oughta Be a Dress Code...

    I went out for dinner with my dad and my cousin and her boyfriend on Tuesday night. Dad told me that there was a dresscode at the restaurant we were going to. I was amazed that 'dresscode' was still a word. That said, it can't have been a very strong dresscode. My cousin's boyfriend made it...

    Happy Chinese New Year 2012. Monday, January 23rd. DRAGON!

    Hiding in there somewhere is a golfing joke.

    Styles for Asian backgrounds

    You're welcome, PP. Feel free to post whatever questions and queries you might have. Sadly, I feel like I should be able to contribute more to this thread than I have. For all her working life, my grandmother (see the photo above), was a professional tailor, from the late 1940s to the late...

    I've heard of the Forbidden City. It was a nightclub, wasn't it?

    Man Cave/Vintage Lounge - Thoughts, anyone? (Heavy with photos)

    It would be nice to have the Mayfair, Belgravia club-scene again. I mean, it still exists, but in London only. I'm sure there are comparable American institutions, but sadly, as has been mentioned. In the U.S.o.A, the word 'Gentlemen's Club' means something so extremely different...

    Custom Made Linen Suit, Panama Hat, linen-leather Spectators?

    Rathdown gives good advice. I did that from Day 1. My friends now think it's my regular style. Which it is.

    My mistake. They all look the same to me.

    White formal vest?

    Ooooh! Very, very, very smart! Now you've made me even more jealous than you can possibly imagine. You should take a photo with your Panama (is that what it is, on the left there?)

    Hi Themthereeyes, I'm a rabbit too!

    What are you wearing today??

    It's oppressively hot today. I'm wearing variations of Khaki and my boater hat. I may wear something different for dinner tomorrow night (going out to celebrate Chinese new year). But the weather will dictate that.

    The devolution of our society through fashion in just two pictures.

    If the slacks or whatever, really are too old or dirty to be worn in polite society, then, in the interests of thrift, I think they certainly would be used in yardwork or some other dirty work. It would save money and get more use out of them. I forget who it was, but there was a member here...

    Styles for Asian backgrounds

    The wealthy/well-to-do, mostly. So the upperclass/aristocracy/nobility and the well-to-do. Or alternatively, people whose jobs would take them to Shanghai or Singapore. So, soldiers, company officials/representatives, diplomats, journalists and so-forth. Don't forget, from England to Shanghai...

    Custom Made Linen Suit, Panama Hat, linen-leather Spectators?

    The sad thing of course, being that there's nothing 'businesslike' about a suit.

    Those reproduction radiolas are absolutely the most awesome things ever.
