    What are you listening to?

    The first time I heard the song Mr Sandman was when I was a little kid, and it was in an ice cream store on a jukebox. I think the jukebox was a Wurlitzer, as I remember it looking like this.

    Let's see your mechanical watches

    Is this watch any good? Did they have rectangular watch faces in the 1940's?

    Let's see your mechanical watches

    My watch's face shattered the other day, so I was thinking of getting a new watch. Does anyone know of a vintage styled watch for under $35? I like the stretchy bracelet type band, and I don't want leather. The last time I had a leather band, it rotted. I could however, just buy the same watch...

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    Alright, I guess the Wolverines are my next shoes I will purchase. I actually have the 1901s already too, I forgot to mention that in my post. I have to say that I am not very fond of the soles being cream, but the upper is pretty nice. They are very comfortable, as are the Giorgio Brutinis, and...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I've been wondering, how does one call a tow truck if they don't have a cell phone these days? I might be wrong, but there really aren't many call boxes anymore, and there are very few phone booths.

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    I have these Giorgio Brutini shoes, I didn't take a picture of them, but I have a question. Are these shoes vintage styled? I am unsure, as the toe is oddly pointed and long, and the perforations are in a strange pattern. Another question, which of these four shoes are the most retro? These...

    What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

    Exactly what James said. I don't exactly see Golden Era cars as fat, or clunky. I see them as sleek, and a bit fat. Back then cars were like works of art. Nowadays cars are very ugly. I improperly worded my original post. I hate cars which are morbidly obese and "aerodynamic". I find the ugly...

    What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

    I hate the recent cars that appear to be clone cars. Chevy looks almost exactly like Subaru. Subaru looks almost exactly like Honda. Honda looks almost exactly like Ford. It goes on and on. There are only a select few cars, like the Volkswagen Beetle, the Fiat, the Dodge Challenger, the Nissan...

    Reading on paper or screen

    I personally hate everything being digital. Sure it might seem convenient, but it really isn't. Electronics need electricity, in the form of a battery, or a plug. Paper needs nothing. Computers can get infected with malware. Books cannot be infected. Books cannot break, unless torn or hacked up...

    BRACES (SUSPENDERS)

    This question may very well be stupid, but are you supposed to match suspenders to your shoes like a belt? I currently wear a pair of khaki/brown suspenders, and I wear brown/bugundy shoes, and khaki/brown slacks. However, since there are thousands of black and white spectator shoes on the...

    Spectator Shoes

    I was looking at these Stacy Adams shoes. However, they are patent leather. Can you wear patent leather without a suit/tuxedo? They don't currently have my size, but Amazon does. Strangely, Amazon's ones seem to look slightly different. See the lace color and the lining color. The Colors are...

    Where to find high waisted pants for under $75

    I thank Resortes for his advice, and I will probably buy wool trousers in the future. That book looks good, but unfortunately my mother would complain. I showed her a similar book, but the one I showed her had black and white images. She said the book was useless since it was in black and white...

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    Does anyone know how to paint cotton? I was thinking of getting some white sheets to make ties with, but this time I was thinking about painting them.

    Spectator Shoes

    I found another pair of Stacy Adams shoes. These ones look a lot nicer in my opinion. However, they have an odd perforation style, that I dislike. Is it me, or has Stacy Adams been making less vintage style shoes?

    Where to find high waisted pants for under $75

    I got four pairs of the Aris Allen pants, I will post images of them when they come. Actually, I have been dressing out of the ordinary since I was eight years old, but I didn't start dressing retro until I was 15. Believe it or not, I never wore jeans, and I do not plan to ever wear them. I...

    Spectator Shoes

    Are these Stacy Adams spectator shoes cap toes, or wingtips? I would get these, but they sadly don't come in brown and white.

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    I've been thinking of getting a sewing machine to make neckties and other stuff with. Does anyone know a cheap, basic, sewing machine which is good? I was thinking of getting one for around $100. I was looking at this model, if anyone has it, do you know if it is any good?

    Unappreciated masterpieces?

    I was watching Turner Classic Movies a few months ago, and there was a movie called Tennessee Champ on. It was from 1954, and I found it to be a good movie. Oddly, it lost money when it was released.

    Vintage Eyeglasses

    I have these glasses, but they aren't vintage. I got them in January, so they are pretty new. They are made by a company called Bellagio. Would these glasses be included browlines? The bottom of the lenses are not covered with anything, and they have built in plastic nose pads.
