    Thank you. I expect I would. I enjoyed chatting with my tailor, while thumbing through bunches of hundreds of swatches of beautiful cloth.

    Golden Age Mini-Series

    That suit is drop-dead sharp! :cool: Will you also request besom pockets? In the 90's I had my tailor make a single breasted peak lapel suit on two separate occasions, though they were both 2-button. When he was a young lad from Calabria he had gone to Rome in the '50's to apprentice as a...

    Overalls

    From the 30's onward, it came to symbolize rural or backward folk in American popular culture into the 60's. One famous wearer was American professional wrestler Haystacks Calhoun who wore it as both wrestling costume and everyday wear.

    Indeed it was! The Mohawk "Skywalkers" built much of New York City. "They worked from the 1930s to the 1970s on special labor contracts as specialists" https://www.6sqft.com/men-of-steel-how-brooklyns-native-american-ironworkers-built-new-york/

    As an acrophobe I can relate. I literally get a bit woozy viewing it. :D Makes me recall when I realized I had to scale a 20 foot tower with a rope in military basic training! :eek:

    Belts to go with our jackets

    Better belt making, than belt buying. :D Have always been fond of surcingle belts, and upon discovering a desirable source, have overindulged - Have a half dozen, or so, of the plain variety - And a few with an embroidered motif - Though I don't have images, same source used to sell...

    14KT Gold Filled Jewelry / Where to Buy online ?

    Sorry to be of no assistance, but your question prompted me to revisit the question of exactly what constitutes an item being gold filled. An interest of mine, and something in the past that I would occasionally add are antique/estate/vintage cufflinks. Since I shall not be purchasing more, my...

    (Vintage?) Tips for dealing with white T-shirts + perspiration?

    Not helpful, but not intended to be snide, either; perhaps it goes with the territory? Might be argued it's very typical of a vintage appearance.

    Walking Sticks & Canes.

    Informative, thank you! I've never looked into collecting antique canes seriously, but the criteria you mention do not surprise me. And I thank you particularly for your caution concerning carved sticks and types of wood. It would make such a stick concerning for my priorities. I've always...

    Walking Sticks & Canes.

    The beautiful antique stick Hurricane Jack offers illustrates a conundrum for any of us for whom acquiring sticks has progressed from simply a pastime to a necessity for secure mobility. I've admired sticks like Jack's at many antique shows and shops, and those of as fine a quality as his are...

    Golden Age Mini-Series

    It has been fun posting these short series of images. I attempted to gather them all, though stored non-systematically within my non-searchable archive. I'm sure I've left some out, and there are probably others still tucked away that I missed. In the future, should I locate more, I'll add them...
