    coordinates please

    Can some style expert tell me why it is perfectly acceptable to wear brown shoes or boots with blue jeans, but not with a blue suit?

    trash culture

    I've followed protocol and not put in the link, but I noticed on feebay people paying big money for imitation old Levi's that are trashed to resemble a pair that spent 80 years at the bottom of a mineshaft or something, and they look pretty bad, even down to the homemade patching of specially...

    magnificent feat

    I found this pair of patent leather shoes that are a perfect fit in an op shop for 4 bux..beautiful condition as well, the photo don't do 'em justice. Now the question is, what do I wear them with or to, and how do I maintain them .

    weird wing

    I've just started watching this US show called the West Wing, which I gather is some sort of fantasyland for Democrat voters according to my countryman's FOX people. Everybody seems to talk while they walk to an extreme degree, and the camera crew must be seriously fit; anyway, in the recent few...

    shameless promotion

    I didn't bother mentioning this before as I am a member here primarily due to my interest in clothes and style, but negotiations with my proposed US publisher have stalled, so if there's anybody here interested in classic pulp-style 40's noir writing set in Australia, feel free to check to this...

    exotical tropical

    OK I'm no longer an Ebay fan and avoid them where possible, so I thought I'd test the waters (!!) here with this shirt. It's just a bit too small round the shoulders for me, as a lot of vintage stuff is, otherwise I wouldn't sell this for anything..I wear them, I don't put them on a wall...

    eponymous really

    For no particular reason, some of my men's grooming products and other knick knacks, note the moustache brush in the centre of the bottom shelf and the top of the case and a detail of the taxidermy box

    No man is...

    I just wondered if there are any other aficianados of "island" shirts hereabouts, by this I mean not only the classic Aloha shirts of the 40's-50's of which I have several, but those from the South Pacific. My taste verges on 'tiki' but I prefer the earlier styles.

    brace yourself

    Having just acquired a fabulous as-new pair of Police and Fireman B&D braces in an op-shop for 2 bucks, I wonder if they will really fit comfortably with a pair of modern trousers designed to take a belt, admittedly I could sew buttons on all my daks, but it would be a lot easier to stick with...

    OK for me it's Robert Ryan hands down, they don't make villains like him anymore

    overlockers

    Anybody know when the overlocker was invented? Double seams are a big point with vintage shirt hunters as supposedly a guide to pre-60's items, but the legendary Alfred Shaheen shirts from the 50's didn't have them...even his daughter couldn't give me any hard info. And while we're on island...

    Top Noir Curio

    I found a DVD for 5 bux of DOA the 1950 classic recently, the clothes, the style, and the incredible nightclub scene make this a real experience. Great plot too, the guy who's 'just been murdered', and has 24 hours to find out why.

    why you need more than one hat

    This Akubra Featherweight Squatter was my main work and road hat for nearly 20 years before being retired to the farm for the occasional bit of steer-rump belting. But like Borat's wife..I have a new one.

    all aboard

    Last night I went to the East Coast blues festival a few miles down the road, and let me tell ya there were HUNDREDS of young people wearing hats.the girls had those pimp hats that the rappers all wear now, but most of the guys had snap brim retro stuff we call bookies hats here, and plenty were...

    check this for 2 bux in a junkshop

    Can you dig it? This treasure: "Airbreeze Cabana handwoven" which is exactly 7 1/8 my size, has the price still on the pad inside the crown at 45 shillings which puts it 40 years old at least..it's AS NEW NEVER WORN an old display one for sure..it was the best find on a 350 mile trip out in...

    ties that bind

    Ok I had some interest in these in another thread, but no-one actually closed the deal, there are 12 actual ties brand new, 35" long in three different patterns plus the amazing box. postage to the US is 10 bux airmail, and I want 50 for the 12 ties and box, considering I paid 30+ for them. That...

    tropical beauty

    Check out this 'dusky darling' from an early 50's rayon Fijian tourist shirt, propeller aircraft buzzing about as well, these are not as highly prized as the Hawaiian stuff, even though a lot harder to find, but still very nice if you can get them, I have a couple that easily stand up to...

    Cravat experts please

    I found a box of these, but they are more like ties, except for the fact that they are 9 inches shorter than any other tie that I have, and impossible to do even a 4-in-hand on without it ending up the length of a bib, any idea...nice patterns and fabric tho. Sorry about broad shot, cropping...
