    bill?Ǭ¥s khakis M2P

    And now the question goes : to cuff or not to cuff.....not sure if the cuff will optically make the leg even more narrow ( I really hate that)

    bill?Ǭ¥s khakis M2P

    Today I got my first pair of Bill?Ǭ¥s Khakis after having read so much about them here. I got them at ebay for under 30 bucks. They are the british twill version M2P, less fuller cut with pleats. I can only compare them to the K-1?Ǭ¥s I have and also the LVC chinos from 5 years ago. I probably...

    long pointy collar forties shirt, where to get them?

    well, well I just don?Ǭ¥t get it. Why istn?Ǭ¥t someone out there who makes a great classic 40?Ǭ¥s style dress shirt.? Collars of today look awful specially when combined with a cool wide tie. Many years ago a shop called Skin Deep in Sydney used to make great 30?Ǭ¥s , 40?Ǭ¥s and 50?Ǭ¥s...

    long pointy collar forties shirt, where to get them?

    Hi y?Ǭ¥all ! Been looking around the net for a good 40s type work/dress shirt. Need something fairly authentic looking for everyday wear to wear with my 40s wide ties or 50s bow ties. I think the key thing is the collar and it needs to be longer and pointy. I tried the 40?Ǭ¥s type dress...

    Aero B-6 shearling problem.

    Well, I have an original Irvin and it has less bald spots after 60 years than this aero after 10 days wearing it. A friend of mine had a Aero D-1 which was about 6 years old and it certainly did not go "bald" in that time. I am worried that at this rate ( and I do think even though it was...

    Aero B-6 shearling problem.

    Just thought I add a few pics. As you can see the collar is really balding. From the pics you cannot clearly see that shearling on red and left side of collar is totally different ( consistency, density thickness) I think this B-6 was definately a half price special and I paid nearly the full...

    Aero B-6 shearling problem.

    Hello fellow hepsters. A few months ago my wife bought me a redskin B-6 Aero from ebay for my birthday and finally just over a week ago I received it. I did try it on when it arrived, the fit was ok however only now after about 10 days of wearing it, I noticed a problem with the shearling...

    who knows thehistory of the porkpie hat?

    I really don?Ǭ¥t know that much about hats and their history. I do know that I love hats despite the fact that most people think you are a bit of a loony when you turn up wearing a hat. I love wearing my 1947 Akubra Sportsman and I tend to prefer the 40s and 50s look with the appropriate hat. I...

    1940?Ǭ¥s US Navy chambray shirt-comparison

    OK folks, you talked me into it. I will go for the Buzz shirt better be safe than sorry. Darn shame everything I like and desire is just soooo dear. You just gotta look at it. The jeans have to be LVC?Ǭ¥s ( 1933 my favourites), leather?Ǭ¥s gotta be Aero or Eastman, Chinos gotta be Bill?Ǭ¥s...

    1940?Ǭ¥s US Navy chambray shirt-comparison

    thanks for your reply. I think I go for the WW2 impressions shirt. The BR is just too dear and the WW2impressions shirt does look ok on the web site at least.

    1940?Ǭ¥s US Navy chambray shirt-comparison

    Long time no see friends, christmas is upon us and as usual no time to spare. My question is about US Navy chambray shirts. I was rather taken aback by the Buzz Rickson US Navy shirt and ordered it. It is steep at 65gbp from eastman leather but they messed up the order and Santa will not bring...

    who still makes 40s or 50s style caps?

    ok, my Coopertown 1943 Airforce cap arrived last week. To tell you the truth I am a wee bit dissapointed. The construction and the look of the cap remind me me of a strange cross between a 70?Ǭ¥s trucker cap and one of those caps they all wear in China . I always thought from movies and photos...

    Buzz Rickson sweatshirts

    I know a similar thread was here some time ago BUT : Does anybody know where Buzz Rickson sweats can be ordered- bought ? I tried Eastman but they cant get any sweats at all ( why they say on the website that other BR clothing can be especially ordered I really dont know...) and I tried sending...

    What vintage do you wear to work...?

    well, I just can?Ǭ¥t go to work without vintage wear and everybody at work thinks I am bit bonkers, but they learned to live with it. Here and there some folks at work even ask where I bought that particular garment. Most days I cant go without my 50?Ǭ¥s clip on or 40?Ǭ¥wide tie, Dockers K-1...
