    Show us your late 50s early 60s hats

    With Mad Men being a heavy driving force in the latest run to the 1960s aesthetic, I thought it high time to celebrate those men that kept wearing hats by having a thread to show off what was still around in the days when hats were disappearing. Show your late 50s and 60s hats... I also want to...

    The snails pace of menswear changes.

    Politicians make headway again! Reaching back 100 years to break the rules set up over 200 years ago of modern men's fuddy duddy attire. Striped trousers at the state opening of Parliament! Right on you right honorable gentleman! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8365971.stm

    The end of the homeless look... I hope?

    With the economic downturn I think people are heading away from the mad max scavenger look in ruddy jeans and worn out coats and going for the glamour of being wealthy. Maybe I just notice because all my post grunge era friends are starting to snazz up... yet What do you think? Is the...

    Best FL-er costumes 2009

    Marc Chevalier leaving his mimeograph machine for a moment to yell up to me that the stock market is crashing, and that all our dreams, all our money is gone... forever! Detachable collar, real ticker-tape distressed appearance and all.

    Brit mags are better

    US mags aren't very informative to my eye. Italian and Spanish versions of my favorites all have too many wild fashion looks and stray away from tailoring and genuine style (and are written in mangled letter combinations that I can't read). I've always been partial to GQUK. It's the content...

    Allen Edmonds Special Order

    I'm starting this thread in hopes that others who have gotten special make Allen Edmonds will drop off stories and images of theirs. You'd probably have to check out my blog post here to understand what I'm saying in regards to vintage Allen Edmonds. Deckard's Guide This thread is to show off...

    Clifton's in LA may be down for the Count

    Property for an LA icon of a restaurant p for sale. My mother's mother used to take my mother there everytime they went downtown... Anawesome spot. http://www.lamag.com/eat/blog.aspx?dt=08/04/2009

    Why leather soled dress shoes?

    They aren’t really comfortable compared to sneakers. Sneakers always win that contest hands down. Style? Well You can do a lot more with a rubber or plastic sole. Make it any shape you want. The breathability issue for the materials doesn’t hold weight nowadays either. Maybe back when canvas...

    Ask the Dust -- the suit

    Brown fine stripe three piece three button with flat front trousers and a vest all well proportioned with a cream shirt red tie ankle boots and a matching hat now and again. Well played

    Show us your kid pics (you as a kid)

    How did you dress as a kid (or how did your parents dress you). I picked this outfit... Then and now. I'm far right!

    Team 1942 The 24 Hour Cancer Danceathon

    The 24 Hour Cancer Danceathon I’ve been to a couple though not the last one… as a member of team Old School -- and being one that has held on, who has seen the swing dance scene change around me – I’ve felt a bit lost in the crowd at times. I look around at the swing dance scene of today and...

    Is the vintage crowd the curmudgeon crowd?

    Have we become the early bird dinner crowd that is expected to leave before the real guests that like to party show up? I'm on the phone with a friend of mine in New York and he's complaining that the retro club he just left closed at midnight. Now midnight in New York to me is usually my...

    Sock it to me?

    Socks for living in, socks that look good absorb well and just plain feel damn good on your feet. Go wool blend all the way in a thicker weave than the traditional dress sock you find at the local department store. I go dancing nearly daily and my feet take a pounding. Cotton socks no matter...

    Shoe terms

    Not from Alden or Allen Edmonds... yet good descriptions. I wish the other guys would follow suit. http://www.dancestore.com/z-shoeterms.asp

    Baggy pants today

    'Bout friggin time! My legs were too constricted in those Browne wears with their circulation stopping cuts. Oh... they don't have to be denim, that's just what these guys prefer. Villain for Indy V (he just looks like some kind of mob boss)

    More important things than politics.

    Tired of watching politics and round about tales of who is doing what for why and is it good. Time again for real TV! I used to stay up to watch Letterman, then he got boring. I don't know what it was, maybe he became comically lazy after taking on CBS's Late Show. I know Carson was pretty...
