I have a pair of Florsheim Made in the USA brown cap toe Oxfords for sale. They are size 10 "B" which is too narrow for my feet. I love the shoes and they are in fantastic condition but they simply don't fit me. I'd like to get out of them what I paid for them which is $75+ shipping. Please let...
Mondo,
It is currently at the tailor but I will post some for you when it is finished next week. When I went in to be fitted, the lady couldn't believe that it was a 1939 Tuxedo. Of course I showed her the dated tag. She kept saying, "This is in such beautiful condition!" "Amazing, these are...
Edward,
I contacted Darcy Clothing and asked about their "sizing" and they say it is "loose". I am a 15 23/33 but when looking to order the Marcella front collared shirt http://www.darcyclothing.com/shop/shirts/evening-shirts/marcella-front-wing-collar-evening-shirt-sh231.html
It only allows...
I will try a search and see what I come up with. I didn't know if there was someone who knew vintage and fits that you all might know of and suggest versus some "gal or guy on 10th St." approach :-)
Thank you for the timely response!
Thank you for the quick replies! I'm familiar with self tie bow ties and wouldn't be caught dead in a clip on :)
I would like to find the pointed collar starch front shirt, and the studs if I can source them. I was thinking black cap toe oxfords with a high shine if that will be sufficient...
Hello,
I'm looking for input about what goes with a tuxedo for my wedding. I have seen examples in the movies but am looking for some direction. I have a Union Tag dated 1939 black tuxedo that is in nice shape that I need to get a shirt and shoes for. Possibly a bow tie as well.
There is more...
Hello Loungers,
I have a 1939 Tuxedo (dated tag) in excellent condition I need tailored and need your help. I'm looking for a reputable tailor to take a few things in a smidge and need it in the next 3-ish weeks. I appreciate any insight or help you may be able to offer.
I'm located near Ft...
Vitanola,
With your recommendation for either of those grinders, do have a certain model/size you recommend over others? Looking around, I see there are different numbered models #0, #3 etc. and I don't know how to tell the difference.
Also, how easy is it to find/source parts for them. I have...
These are really good lists! Mine would have to be:
ANY Marx Brothers
Fred Astaire: Top Hat, Swing Time, and A Royal Wedding
Cary Grant: To Catch a Thief, The Bishop's Wife, His Girl Friday
Alfred Hitchcock: Dial M for Murder, Rear Window,
William Powell: all of the Philo Vance movies, My Man...
Sleep aid:
Banana Tea
one banana, ends cut off (about a half inch) and cut in half. Put banana in pot with 2-3 cups of water, boil for 12-ish minutes, add cinnamon if desired. Remove banana cut into slices. eat banana (with or without skin on) and drink "tea".
This will help you sleep better...
That one is awesome Lizzie-
Monkey Business is one of my all time fave Marx Brothers films. They're all pretty good but I think that the older Paramount pictures don't get as much attention (comic genius credit) as some of the MGM ones. Shame too. The Paramount movies are beyond funny, and...
Tommy Dorsey, album Sentimental Gentleman (IIRC). With Tommy Dorsey's band: Doris Day, Frank Sinatra, Buddy Rich and of course Sy Oliver. Great music from super talent.
I've been watching the Jack Benny Program lately with much delight. I just watched the one where he gets kidnapped. The kidnappers think he's loaded but find out that he only has $.015 on his person. They go to Mr. Benny's bank and everyone in the bank asks with peculiar surprise, "He wants to...
"I never forget a face, but in your case I'll make an exception". Has to be a Marx Bros film but I can't remember which:(
That is a Groucho quote. Most likely said to Chico. The Marx Brothers are pretty untouchable with regard to wit and one liners. W.C. Fields was pretty good too.
I can't...
The Royal Wedding starring Fred Astaire and Jane Powell, with Peter Lawford. I have been drawn to Fred Astaire movies of late. He is such an amazing performer, and I can't take my eyes off of his feet.
Good stuff!
