What are you wearing today??

[avedwards]

It was forecast to be warm today so I wore a lighter weight suit. Apologies for the poor picture quality.

-Modern suit (teal in colour)
-Vintage bow tie (could be 60s)
-70s waistcoat
-Parrot feather in hat
-These shoes:

I was asked whether I was from the Untouchables to which I replied that I was retired, and then whether I had come from the 1920s to which I replied that I left my time machine around the corner. I couldn't be bothered to point out that I'd tried to go for an early 50s inspired look with the low gorge, low buttoning bold look reminiscient suit.

Great look, nice shoes too - any details on them?

Derek:

I love this picture....especially the ascot!

I think I need to quit reading this thread--certain ladies here have me punch-drunk like I just went ten rounds with a tag-team of Tyson, Foreman and Ali.

What a wore for my job at a diner. A patron told me I reminded him of Felix Frankfurter. He normally refers to me as "Back to the Future". The tie dates to no later than 1966, and the waistcoat, being partially made of polyester is probably of more recent manufacture. Everything else is modern.

Looking good, Chasseur! Dapper as always Particularly love the sepia (?) toned picture. Would have loved to seen this same shot with your young son wearing a little sailor shirt or some other type of vintage style shirt, etc. Does your pretty wife perchance happen to know how to sew?

Had another fun day on the Hawaiian Railroad.

Wearing that Critiden action back sporcoat fellow Lounger Tomasso let us know about, a Panama from Panama Bob, vintage deco tie, some linen/rayon blend trousers, and my spectators.

Thanks. They're British made and I got them for £65 from a fancy dress/vintage shop which is closing down. I can get you a pair if you're interested, but not in size ten as they only stock one of each size and I've taken the ten.

Wow. Some great outfits here. Congratulations to everyone

More poor pics of me! Yesterday wearing a giant rose print skirt:

better pic of the skirt, though not on me

Cherry- you look adorable. I'm obsessed with big circle skirts at the moment. I think they're perfect for summer and all. Any idea what era the skirt is?

 

[cherry lips]

^Thanks! (You look adorable too btw, I esp loved you hair and legs(!) in the last post.) The skirt is 70s, but that doesn't make me love it any less! The label is Tumbleweeds, most have been a good one.

Nothing wrong with later vintage- usually things from the 70's and 80's are all I can find that will actually fit my not so 1940's frame
It's a lovely buy!

And thank you for the compliment

Thanks Chanteuse Carey! Unfortunately she can not sew, I do a little and I've toyed with the idea of making him a vintage style sailor shirt. I've got to find a pattern first

 

[Odalisque]

Vintage linen dress I'm guessing 50's maybe late 40's. Handmade and fits almost perfect. Shoes are some cheapy off brand I picked up on a goth website for $10. Still kicking 5 years later

Thanks for the comment, MarkL.

Those trousers look great, Pera.T. I'd guess they're from the late 20's.

Looking fabulous Cherry and Odalisque!

Posing in front of the Art Deco hotel Tammer in Tampere with Fiona Timantti.

We had a Fintage ry (registered association, yay!) picnic. Here's a picture taken at the end. A total of 12 vintage types visited
