Hi folks!
Has anyone had issues receiving orders placed from RJW Shirts? I put in a shirt order at the end of 2021 expecting it to take 3-7 months. I’ve been in contact with Rhyce off and on since with reassurances I’ll have my shirt order sent followed by assurances of a refund. It’s been...
Lately I've had an obsession with stories about ghosts and hauntings. Unfortunately I have never had any ghostly encounters but does anyone care to share their stories maybe even about ghosts from the Golden Era? :eeek:
I've heard a saying in old films that goes something along the lines of "Next thing you know I'll be wearing striped pants". I know striped pants are traditionally worn with morning dress but is that the only thing it signifies?
Lately I've been obsessed with the type of ties WC Fields wears in many of his films. Its sloppy and ridiculous and I love it. Does anyone know what the name of this bow is or where I could possibly find one?

I've been trying for years to achieve this vintage look and spending alot of time, money and energy on it only to either look like an old man or a character. I enjoyed comments from people liking my hat or my watch chain but day to day things just got so hard to pull off, things didn't fit right...
I had to choose something from "material culture" for a paper and I decided to choose fedoras since I wear them all the time...I have to have an interview since its a "fieldwork" paper. Asking on the fedora lounge made sense to me. So, here are my questions:
1. Why do you wear a fedora of...
I find it very strange and also funny to see people in old movies smoking everywhere like its no big deal. I've never seen that in my life, I can't even remember when people could smoke in restraunts. I remember watching a film from 1949 where a guy got beat up, got up and still had the...
I have scoured e-bay and looked in vintage stores and come up with nothing. I have found one satin top hat form online but its very expensive and not quite as tall as I'd like (6-61/2 inches).
Any suggestions or ideas where I would find such an item that would fit my 7 3/8 size head?
This is a coolio music video my friend showed me. It features nifty little dance numbers and 19th century-ish clothing. This video has made me really want to buy a frock coat.
The purpouse of this post is to just show it off and ask what people from the lounge would think of it.
Enjoy...
I got my license and a car and I now have access to stores that sell vintage. Yesterday I bought this tie:
I want to date it around the early 1950's...but I'm not sure. Its a bit worn though as you can see...damage in a couple areas, but I like it anyhow. Interesting tie...
I can't seem to find any of the styles I want be it blazers, shirts, vest, etc. Say I want a linen blazer; sure easy enough to find. But what if I don't want it fully lined or I want it to be suitable for everyday wear? Wow, I'm truly SOL there. Any new 3-piece suits are very rare and when I've...
I've noticed the basic construction and appearence in men's suits have changed little in 100 years. Men's clothing, for the most part, changed quite a bit through the 19th century but in the 20th it stayed realitivley the same. The suit seems to refuse to die. Why is this?
I'm planning on buying some shirts from http://vintageshirt.co.uk/
I'd be paying for it in british pounds and for the things I want it would come out to 113 pounds. I figure it would come out to $150, maybe more plus import taxes and so on. How much money am I really looking at? [huh]
My school band had a jazz concert last night where they played songs from the 30's and 40's. I didn't go (I had to work)but my my Mom and my Grandma did. I heard it was really good.
Look what happened to be on the front of the brochure:
When I first saw it, I didn't really notice. But...
Help! I need instructions on how to tie this kind of bowtie:
I've tried and tried and can't succeed and I need to know for a party tomorrow, so please someone help! :(
I'm thinking of getting a rockport boot.
I just want some imput as to the quality and life-span of this brand of shoe. I've heard its really good. I just want a dang boot is all. :rage:
