    RJW Shirts

    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...

    Ghost Stories

    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:

    Striped Pants

    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?

    "Alternative" Ties

    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? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBpD_28tZJ4&feature=related:eusa_clap

    Smoking Back in the Day

    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...

    Top Hat for Prom

    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?

    The Importance of Being Idle

    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...

    Men's Suits in the past 100 years...

    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?

    Currency Question

    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]
