These aren't technically new hats...but they're less than a year old and I'm posting them here for the first time so it counts...yeah? Yeah.
Both hats are from Goorin Bros. out of San Francisco. The gray woven-paper fedora, my warm-weather hat, was purchased at BlackBlue in St. Paul, MN...
I just went through this whole thread, and it's fantastic! Y'all should collaborate on a book or something :D
As a kid I always wanted to help out around the house but for some cockamamie reason wasn't allowed to, (come on, free labor!), and now I'm surrounded by any number of machines that...
What an interesting question to ask!
I'm new to the forum, but I'm new to vintage as culture and lifestyle as well. I of course knew that some people dressed in vintage clothes and bought vintage items...but the degree to which some of you take it is really fantastic! Your enthusiasm is...
And where did you get that one, sir? A shop that I can buy from online, maybe? I've been looking for a grandad shirt for ages, and they're impossible to find around here. Any decent one's I've come across online have cost outrageous amounts.
Oh and Eminem is definitely NOT actually from Detroit, though I understand why they use him as a face for the city. He grew up in the suburbs just like the rest of us, and now he lives in the nicer half of my town.
For the record, Kid Rock and the White Stripes are from the 'burbs too ;P
You know what's even more heartbreaking than these photos? Growing up here, hearing stories about how beautiful and alive the city once was. I've never known downtown as anything other than an interesting juxtaposition of extreme decay and beautiful details. The city will never return to its...
I didn't lie, right? That is in fact a trilby...since it has the thinner brim? It isn't the one I really wanted, but the light gray with black band was only stocked in large/XL, and my buzzed head doesn't fill that much space.
I know I don't necessarily exude the look of a vintage gent with my...
Would it offend you all if I was wearing a Target trilby?
I wanted to try the look out before investing any real money into a good hat, as I've really only worn cabby hats (I guess they're actually called Ivy hats or something similar). We all have to start somewhere right? And I'm actually...
Hey ya'll :D
Mitch here, didn't think to look for a welcome wagon til now! I've been browsing the site for awhile, decided to finally join so that I can get to know some of you lovely people, as well as get some tips and inspiration.
I don't necessarily reflect it in my everyday life, but I have...
I don't know if my sort is allowed to post here, but I'll throw caution to the wind and dodge any flying handbags.
I'm not an expert on women's fashion by any means, but depending on what is available in your area I wouldn't think a good, basic 1950s look would be all that hard to accomplish...
Cucumber-lime kamikazes!
They were a recommendation of the bartender, and were FANTASTIC! She used Rain Organics Vodka, and just I can't wait to pick some up to experiment with.
That sounds fantastic Sofia! I'd love to go to a nice little tearoom around here but most I've found are either excessively modern and pretentious, or far too feminine and floral for me to feel comfortable. It isn't even worth looking for a cafe anymore either as they've all been run out by...
First of all I'd like to welcome you to my inaugural post, and let me tell you I'm just delighted to be here! ;)
I'm sure most of you have heard of The Edison in LA. A thing of beauty, eh? Apotheke in NYC is another amazing example of design. The look is somewhat earlier than the Golden Era...
