    My grandfather's ties

    I'm planning on narrowing a couple of my ties in the future, not because of fashion mind you, but because of my proportions. I'm a pretty skinny guy and 4" wide ties just look clownish on me.

    Old fashioned names new again....

    Interestingly enough both Oliver and Charlotte started rising in popularity in the 1980's according to the Baby Name Wizard and have been climbing since. Oliver peaked in the 1880's and then dropped till about the 60's, Charlotte was popular in the 1940's and then dropped till about the 60's as...

    Polyester Ties

    Mr. Maltby, thank you for your help! I'd be happy to post the tie but it's a live ebay auction right now...and well, you know how that goes sometimes... I'll post it up once the auction is over.

    Polyester Ties

    I'm always on the look out for some eye-catching ties, but whenever I see the word "polyester" I quickly move on...except this time. Browsing ebay I managed to find a tie I really liked but was annoyed that it was made of poly. So, having never bought or felt a polyester tie before, I don't...

    Newsboy Hat Questions

    I can second that, a little while ago I asked about newsboy caps as well and ended up talking to Brett. He's a very accommodating guy and if you have some particular details in mind he can probably make it happen. The hat I received was well-made and draped perfectly on my head. The only...

    Sunglasses that work well with a Fedora?

    Spiridon, I love the green tinted sunglasses you have on in your avatar. What brand/make are they exactly?

    Vintage on The Sartorialist

    Oddly enough, I think that bike man was the same guy (hence the headline "Vintage Bike Man is Back"). If you look back in his archives from 4/1/06-4/30/06, it contains the first photograph of this character.

    Grungy looking celebrities

    This looks a lot more like a candid photograph then a still from a film to me. The lighting is really blown out, like someone stuck a flash up to his window and snapped a photo. Notices how it blooms out from the foreground. If this were film I would think the lighting would have focused on...

    I know people look at us

    Judging by that thread about what sort of comments does your hat/outfit engender, I'd say a fedora tends to be viewed by the general populace as just as much a costume as your average goth gear.

    Funeral wear

    Makes sense to me, but how would one know what the deceased is wearing if you weren't already at the wake/funeral?

    sizing question

    Yep, as Baggers has said, the size of the chest will determine the other measurements as well. I'd get the other pertinent measurements if you don't have them already (shoulder width, overall length, and sleeve length). If you're good on those 3 and you're only off by a couple inches on the...

    Retro Ad Site

    Hello, I hope I'm not repeating any information here but I happened to stumble upon a great site for 50's ads called Plan 59. I'm not sure how he did it but all the ads there are really high quality, these aren't low-res scans from any old mag. This site seemed like something people here...

    Many thanks Dan, that looks like it will do nicely. And all you, thanks for the kind welcome.

    Clooney's Cap in O Brother, Where Art Thou?

    I've always liked George Clooney's driving cap in O Brother, Where Art Thou, but I've yet to see one that really approximates it's shape. I've always wondered whether or not it's just a "regular" driving cap that's bigger then his head, thus allowing it to sit off center, or if this an...
