    Vintage Collar Bars: Too Small for Modern Shirts?

    These are the shirts I wear. Does the collar on these count as spread collars? http://www.amazon.com/Geoffrey-Beene-Regular-Sateen-Dress/dp/B008Y8WOPY/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1443031765&sr=1-1&nodeID=7141123011&keywords=geoffrey+bean

    Vintage Collar Bars: Too Small for Modern Shirts?

    I picked up a few vintage collar bars at a thrift store a bit back, but I haven't been wearing them since they seem to be too small to fit. The places which you slide onto the shirt are very tight, and have difficulty going on the shirt. The bars are also very short, making the collars very...

    What Kind of Tie is Li'l Wally Wearing?

    I just found a video of Buck Owens band wearing them. Are they a form of 60s western wear? Interestingly, Li'l Wally isn't wearing them with western style clothes. Mysterious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2j8oUgsV_k In this one, Buck Owens wears one...

    What Kind of Tie is Li'l Wally Wearing?

    In this YouTube video I found of the Lawrence Welk Show, Li'l Wally (a Polish-American Polka musician) is wearing a very unusual tie. Does anyone know what this kind of tie is called? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bOJshRh9Hg Another one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV8FW57u_4A

    Thanks! :D Oddly, I can't seem to use it as a signature here. Whenever I try using it, only the link appears. Odd. :confused:

    Do signatures/logos count as art?

    On Stetson's website, there is a picture of the Gun Club on the far left, but oddly, they aren't selling it. Why? :confused: http://www.stetson.com/

    When do You Think This Stanley Blacker Camel Blazer is From?

    I got this Stanley Blacker camel blazer off of eBay the other day. This jacket was made for Macy's. I find it rather interesting. I don't know when it's from exactly, but the union label says 12/69 on it. The union label under the writing appears to be the one used between 1968-1976. However, it...

    What are you wearing today??

    Today, my new Stanley Blacker jacket from eBay arrived. It was made for Macy's. I am guessing that this jacket is from 1969, as the union label says so. However, I think that the jacket's design may be older, as the lapels are rather thin. The lapels are 2 1/2" wide with the top button buttoned...

    Ascots

    How tight should you tie an ascot? I personally like to wear the ascot high, not low.

    STETSON GUN CLUB

    I heard a few months back that Stetson was going to do a reissue of the 60s Gun Club fedora/porkpie in the fall. I know it isn't yet fall, but I was wondering if anyone knows when it will be released exactly. Thanks! :)

    Dating Cesca/Breuer Chairs

    Took a look at the chair. It seems that the caps in the top of the chair are flat, but they are not plastic. They feel like chrome coated steel, or aluminum. I couldn't find any powder dropping out of the bottom, but I didn't study it that closely. I couldn't find any labels, besides the one...

    Dating Cesca/Breuer Chairs

    How would you find out when a Cesca/Breuer Chair was made? I found this chair at the thrift store today, but I don't know when it's from. Unfortunately, I don't know much about when these chairs were made, but by the looks of it, I'm guessing it's post WWII, as it appears to be Mid-Century...

    What is this hat?

    What Kind of Hat is This? I found this picture of Frank Sinatra on Wikipedia, wearing what looks like a patterned fedora. It seems that this album was from 1959. Where could you find a hat like this?
