Inauguration Parties
Nice to see Matt showing some integrity. Well done, sir. It does seem as though the conservative gloves are coming off, and there have been a few bitter political comments on the FL recently. I suppose that as long as their boy is in charge then politics can't be mentioned, but let one of the...- Salv

Jeans
Oh yes, I spent lots of time, and not much money, in Flip. They started out in Kings Road - there's a clothes shop called Phlip on the site now - and there was a clearance warehouse in Shoreditch. I'm pretty sure that the Kings Road branch managed to get hold of some of the last of the original...- Salv

Constructivism Making A Comeback?
I'm fascinated by Suprematist ceramics, which I think show a clear influence on some of the more avant garde British Art Deco ceramics, especially those produced by Shelley in the 1930s. There also seems to be a flow of ideas back the other way, from Britain to the Soviet Union. There's a...- Salv

Jeans
I've posted these before, but I may as well post them in here as well. Here are two pairs of 1933 repro LVC jeans. Both pairs were bought raw, and the first pair remained unwashed for two years. The second pair were washed not long after I got them, although the photos show them before I washed...- Salv

Denim Chore Coat
Lee Japan do the 91-J Lee Loco chore jacket. Aero Leather have them for £140 ...and there's a US eBay seller called Speedway-shop who specialises in Japanese clothing that has them for a much more affordable $118.00. Dickies do a great blanket lined chore coat that you should be able to...- Salv

Tuskegee & Obama
Absolutely, and Imahomer being made to feel unwelcome in a cafe is directly comparable to the story of the Tuskegee airmen, who were made to feel unwelcome by their first commanding officer in the North African campaign - Colonel William W. Momyer - who accused them of being cowardly and... -
Tuskegee & Obama
Well done on being the bigger man. If only the "people of color" had acted with as much dignity as you while their houses and churches were being firebombed, or they were being lynched, or beaten for trying to register to vote. But at least you weren't imprisoned and expelled from school for... -

Some Art Deco china
I'm having a hard time deciding if you're being ironic - it didn't feel like a slum when we were there, and in fact it was one of the best holidays we've ever had. The French Riviera has long been home to the more-wealth-than-taste classes of Europe, so comparing South Beach to that is something...- Salv

Some Art Deco china
We went there once before in October 1991, the year before our daughter was born and just before the area really started to be cleaned up and redeveloped, and before it became fashionable. It wasn't busy, our hotel had a pool and free parking, and the room cost something like $30 a night for an...- Salv

The Spanish Civil War
reetpleat - briefly: 1 - Gutternsipe has covered this fairly well. Apart from those elements of the Army and the Guardia Civil that joined the rebellion it was the various traditionalist factions in Spain, that Guttersnipe noted, who sided with Franco. I also think that there were many fairly... -

OK, here's the stamp from the Susie Cooper pink Dresden Spray set: Susie Cooper 7670 multi-colour: Shelley Regent cups: Red and grey Shelley Regent: The other photos were blurred so I'll re-do them tomorrow and post them as well. Yep, one day, but the girls want a beach...- Salv

Some Art Deco china
I can't either, but they were there when I started the thread. Very odd. I'll see if I can get them back. EDIT - I can see them again, can anyone else see them?- Salv

Some Art Deco china
I'm in the middle of decorating the front room, so all the china has been removed and dusted down. Before I put it all back up I've taken a few photos so I can share the small collection: 1 - A Susie Cooper teapot, tea cup, saucer and side plate in pink Dresden Spray: 2 - Part of a Susie...- Salv

Douglas Fairbanks suit study....
mike - I've just tried to PM you to answer your Old Town question but your PM box is full. Since you mentioned this thread I though this would be a good place to get your attention. -

those great suits
I always recommend Rocacha Tailoring to Brits looking for a new suit. Their 40's DB is as close as I've seen a new suit get to that authentic 40's look. Team the jacket with a pair of their high-waisted Zoot trousers with the fishtail back. It's run by a chap called Rob Crossley, and he does... -

Messenger Bag and vintage clothes in UK?
There are plenty of canvas messenger bags starting here. Or you could try the Carradice courier bag in waterproof cotton duck. I use a Carradice Nelson saddle bag for my commute, and it's an extremely well-made product, is completely waterproof, and very tough and hard wearing. If you want...- Salv

Teddy Boy Rock'n'Roll
Edward - have you tried Colin Taub in Hackney? His website is very basic, and I couldn't find details of fabrics or pricing, but it can't hurt to give him a call. You're welcome - they're some of my absolute favourite youth cult photos. -
