    Street scene

    Walking around with MK on my visit to Portland, it's easy to see how people treat you different depending on who you are with. Usually when I am wearing the hat and suit and with a gal I rarely get the look. When with a guy friend wearing a t-shirt and jeans and me in the suit and tie, rarely...

    Dream suits inspired by Hollywood

    Since I was little i always loved the look of a plain of grey three piece. I think his was whipcord. The vest was just perfect in cut and the jacket and trousers were in perfect proportion It was the first time I think i liked a double breasted suit. Ford carried off the look perfectly and he...

    Street Fashion

    I skipped a lot of the inbetween looks, though that's pretty much it. What was acceptable as dresswear then and what is acceptable now.

    Anti-Fit

    Anti fit The Levis commercial were out a few years back touting the new jans with the “anti fit. Well it’s not just jeans. It’s everything. Clothes today just don’t fit. The waistbands are low for sliding down, the thighs too tight. Jackets are either modeled as too big or too small… just look...

    Real Genius

    It’s said that it is better to be smarter than you look. I tend to have a problem as I often look smarter than I am and confuse people at times. It’s not hard, very easy in fact. Being unkempt though in a well dressed manner was pretty easy when everybody wore suits in the 30’s though now it’s...

    Comfort and dress shoes

    last: A last is a form either plastic or wooden which is used to create the shape of the shoe. Like a block for a hat though for a shoe. I’m all about the leather sole. Rubber just doesn’t absorb. It’s not breathing a shoe does, it’s absorb and leather absorbs the sweat and conforms to your...

    We're different

    We are! We are the different people. The outcasts, the oddballs, dweebs dorks, geeks, nerds. I wear a hat in public and do it because it's cool. I like the suit and tie... James Stewart can't be wrong. I don't feel it's a costume because it's me and I get compliments on it all the time. I don't...

    Billboarding

    You see it all the time. It’s a way of communicating without letting in a response. Someone raises a sign that says, “Abortion is murder” and there is no response. You have your views and someone else has theirs. It works that way with bulletin boards like the Lounge. You’re not Pen...

    The loss of occasion

    I think now is a time where we have lost the sense of occasion. Christmas and Holloween maybe not so muh, though the other times when we need to dress up and be there for an event tend to be underdone. I do like how the vintage scene tries to recapture occasion though in a retro artificial way...

    It must be raining somewhere, right?!

    Totes Brigg Fox All fine Brollys, bumbershoots, rain deflectors. I have a few umbrellas in my collection and the way I see the world you shouldn't never live life without one. Oh it can be left in the trunk of the car... and if you are traveling they do become cumbersome to carry. I...

    Food Network

    Is it me, or is this the worst idea ever? I now know how to make fudge using practically nothing and it's too easy... I hate that channel. Too much to watch and nothing I should be watching.

    At the risk of looking silly

    Its okay to look or sound silly. Its okay to be the mistaken one and trip and have the awkward sense of Im wrong. Its okay to be wrong. Its okay to not believe in yourself and still go on. Break the handle and tear your shirt trying to make it work. Its okay to worry about what will happen...

    Pre distressing

    IS going too far! Remember back when you could buy good khakis without the paint smattered all over them?

    Sometimes vintage is just ...

    ... well harder than jumpin' in the car and runnin' to the local McDonald's for some nuggets. How often do you go all the way the vintage way? Could you ever just leave the cell phone home?
