    my new Stetson De-Luxe stratoliner. Literally bought it last week. It was worth the $245 I paid to have a Brand new hat with the quality and construction of a vintage one

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Wore my new Stetson De-Luxe Stratoliner. The single most expensive thing I've ever purchased in my life, at $245. Stunning hat, with an open crown. It's gonna be my new everyday hat, as I'm retiring my 1940s Lee Fedora. Wore my Stetson yesterday when I dressed in 40s vintage with my cousin and...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    I HAVE also seen multiple watches with the same kind of hands I've got, so unless a good portion of people have replaced their hands with the same kind I have, it seems unusual.

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    Thank you! I thought the hands didn't look right... I was told they were original, but looking at similar models, I knew they were replacements. And thank you for identifying the watch model, too. Sure saved me a lot of research. Was $100 a good price to have paid?

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    Bought this stunning late 1920s/early 1930s Bulova yesterday for a hundred bucks It's beautifully engraved and has enamel work on it, and has the original radium hands, which still glow. It's 17 jewels.

    Spectator Shoes

    If you wear two tone shoes, treat the shoe as if it were a solid color based on whatever the dominant color is. If it's brown and white, treat it as brown. I wear whatever colors I typically wear with brown. Spring should allow for wool and thin corduroy. I wear it, and I'm fine in the spring...

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    Really? The great majority of my fellow lounger's suits seem to be that size! Surprising! Then again, seeing as how I've never found one, I wouldn't /really/ know. Heck, the oldest vintage thing with lapels I even own is a 50s overcoat (which isn't even A real overcoat on me. Too-tight to wear...

    Anyone know anything about fountain pens?

    Yes. This is inaccurate. Maybe you just had some particularly leaky pens.

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    This thread has been instrumental in my quest to alter modern suits to mimic the styles of '30s ones, but where on earth do you guys find these vintage ones?? I'm sure you've seen me ask something similar, but the results are lacking when i search for one even on ebay.uk, where most of these...

    Advice on 1930s accessories

    his pocket square is folded in an unusually similar manner to the late '40s "television square", which, I believe, was named after the way early TV hosts would fold theirs up for the camera.

    Advice on 1930s accessories

    I actually once mixed brown ink with grape juice (long story) and it produced a rich maroon colored ink that (amazingly) didn't gum up the works of my pens in any way. And now whenever i open the bottle to refill my pens, it smells like wine! XD

    Can any modern-made clothes really pass for vintage?

    my biggest issue is that most of the reproduction clothing is more expensive than the actual vintage pieces themselves. If I'm going to pay $500 for a chester cordite repro of a CC41 suit, it had better take me back in time or something. I have to make do with slight alterations to more modern...

    Anyone know anything about fountain pens?

    absolutely stunning! I own a Shaeffer TM from 1952 (a transition between the snorkel and thin model pens) that belonged to my grandfather. do you know if they work?

    60s Sport Coat Buttons?

    I'd call the pattern "gingham" if I didn't know any better. It's very unusual. But yeal. I'd just replace all the buttons if I were you. Sometimes, that's the most fun part: customization!

    Spectator Shoes

    The only wingtips I own are a soft leather pair with a flat rubber sole by Ralph Lauren. I've swapped out the skinny, waxed leather laces for more '40s period appropriate flat pair, and changed the milk chocolate brown to a more rich, "mellow brown" like you see in real '40s shoes, by using Kiwi...
