    That (sometimes) Vintage Smell

    Thanks again to everyone for your suggestions. It was a little surprising to me that I couldn't find much on this topic here on the FL, as it's part and parcel with buying vintage clothes on the internet, as Sloan suggested. Anyway, I hope it helps others as well, and I'll keep you all posted on...

    That (sometimes) Vintage Smell

    I'm trying it tonight. I've got about three years' worth of the Times Literary Supplement to stuff the jackets with, and, if nothing else, they'll be fair-minded with just a slight sense of the absurd.

    That (sometimes) Vintage Smell

    Hadn't thought of that. It was my mother's all-purpose smell remedy. Maybe a combination of the coffee and the baking soda? Thanks very much.

    That (sometimes) Vintage Smell

    Hmmm. Tonight's the newspaper initiative and tomorrow the coffee. I may be creating an entirely new fragrance: that ineffable death-news-coffee scent. Thanks very much for your suggestion and help. One factor that's driving my determination here is that one of the jackets is a real grail find: a...

    That (sometimes) Vintage Smell

    I got the jackets back today but there's still a fair amount of smell. A friend suggested that I put them out in the sun for an hour or two, which makes sense to me so I'll try it tomorrow. If that doesn't work I'll try the newspaper strategy: I just hope I don't wind up smelling like death and...

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    That red and gray combination is really perfect. It'd also look nice with a black and gray herringbone or bird's eye tweed.

    Mix and match

    Absolutely! Think of the Beatles at Shea Stadium (in reverse). I'd probably complement it with black shoes, belt, and hat and a white shirt, but you can play around with it. Black goes with just about anything except for teal blue, which goes with nothing but white.

    Which shaving soaps/creams do you want to try?

    Taylor's Sandalwood is wonderful stuff. I've learned that the trick with any shaving foam or cream is to try and leave it on for a minute or two before applying the razor. It works wonders.

    Thinking about custom jacket...

    This is one of the nicest and most functional designs I've seen for this type of jacket. If I didn't live in coconut-land I'd head straight to JL and see what they could do.

    Post New Hats Here!

    Weren't straw boaters part of the raccoon-coat, boola-boola craze? Perhaps the guy bought it and then didn't have the guts to wear it, or he didn't have the cash for the coat. Always fun to speculate.

    35'F mild? They'd think it was the Apocalypse down here if it ever went that low.

    I'm still trying to get over the Damned in brown leather.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Mind if I ask the dimensions, brim and crown? Tim's working on an OR for me right now, and I'm really impressed with that hat.

    Anyone had an Aero CXL Steer Shrink?

    Reminded me of Captain Queeg and the strawberries in "The Caine Mutiny."

    Anyone had an Aero CXL Steer Shrink?

    Most of the time the jacket stays the same but the boy gets larger. I know that when my trousers don't fit my first reaction is to blame them, and then I cut down on the grilled cheeses and bacon.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I'm expecting the return today of my black Peters Bros. hemp Stratoliner that I sent back for a straightening out of the brim. It had developed a weird curl in the back from the spacer I had inserted in the sweatband. I'm also in line for an Alley Kat special and hoping it won't take too long.
