Thank you much,Grantway(and my apologies for my taking so long in responding)! I`ll certainly try and "mug" a bit for another ascot pic. *grins*

Not a bad idea there. Seems like I was "stuck on stupid" trying to correctly tie and fit my ascot the first time I wore it. Even after watching several youtube videos--"tie it like a tie!", "no! tie it like an ascot."...Classic case of "trying to hard" and also (for me at least)the legitimate...

Much obliged,GoldenEraFan. I`ll add this seller to my "Favorite Sellers" list for future reference. =)

I scored a fairly nice Vittorio Bazzi brand SB,3-button orphan(?) suit jacket at a thrift store,and love how it fits and looks.I`m curious about the brand(having never heard of it),but even my Google searches turn up absolutely nothing.Label states the garment is 100% virgin wool,made in...

Awesome thread! Hope it comes back to life though... I picked up two different 100% silk ascots back in the summer months,one is red w/ tiny black polkadoted ROBERT TALBOLTT brand,the other is a forest green w/red & goldish paisely patterned TIE RACK brand.Both are in new/like new condition and...

I`ll be wearing a pair of generic,polyester black slacks (no cuffs,no pleats),either a white,french cuffed dress shirt or a pale yellow Land`s End,button down collar,dress shirt,John Weitz Harris Tweed sport coat,silk tie-green on green tones w/tasteful cross motif,silk Ted Lapidus dress scarf...

MALE,in LODI,CALIFORNIA,50,and SINGLE (am I eligable and in demand yet?) :P HMH

Forgot to include the two silk ascots I found in the summer for @2.00ea. The red one is a Robert Talbott and the RT website shows their ascots priced at a whopping $145.00 ea !! :eeek: HMH

Some gorgeous examples of vintage,classic,and modern neckware,gentlemen. Here`s the lion`s share of what I`ve managed to collect over the past 6 months or so: All of these were purchased at local thrift stores,consignment stores,or Goodwill stores for $1.00 ea or less.Most are pure...

Just found at a local thrift store earlier this evening for $6.99: John Weitz,Harris Tweed sport coat that FITS me!! (48R). Not sure about the vintage but the inside tag reads: John Weitz- Tailored in USA for Rochester Big & Tall Clothing. The other tag reads:Hand Woven-Harris Tweed-Spun Woven...

Hmmm...You guys are killing me here!! :eeek: Can`t remember if I posted to this thread,but... Glock 23, .40SW - - - Sig Sauer P232-SL (w/Nill grips), .380 - - - Walther P38/P1 (w/Manuhrin markings), .9mm I`ll upload pics to photobucket as time permits. HMH

I`m beginning an anthology of Roald Dahl`s short stories entitled The Roald Dahl Omnibus:Perfect Bedtime Stories for Sleepless Nights. I `m beginning with "Royal Jelly" (a truly creepy story). Also working piecemeal on Franz Kafka`s feel good father-and-son :eusa_doh: novella Brief an Den...

GoodWill is kind of hit and miss for me.As others have said,the more robust sizes (48R or 50R here) are not common and they fly of the racks. Here`s my score from Friday evening: One(1) sports jacket by Jos.A.Bank in 100% camel hair,(MY size even,48R) single breasted,2-button,3-pocket,natural...

Some beautiful hats! Seems whenever I find a decent to excellent shape fedora in my size at our local consignment stores they are *sigh* brown. I guess brown was a pretty popular color in the vintage world or...? In fact the only fedora I have that is NOT brown is my vtg 60`s Resistol stingy...

At least yours is black,Omnipotence. My Stafford trench coat is a navy blue color (wanted #1 tan/taupe or #2 black) but since it was only $9.99(thrift stores,yay!),in excellent condition and fit me perfectly...had no choice BUT to get it,right? I`m also in the "Leave It As Is" camp,Omni,and bet...
