    Vintage Guilty Pleasures?

    Sock Garters. I love them. Also, it didn't hurt that my girlfriend at the time when I got into them thought they were hot. Ascots/cravats. Flair... just pure flair. Loud socks. Also, I was unaware that bow ties were considered garish until I read that thread you linked to. I wear bow...

    Dressing Modern, but classy

    I can't find vintage that fits me due to being a person of... ahem... rather large size. However, when I do shop for modern clothes I keep a vintage aesthetic in mind Most people are surprised when I tell them that most of my clothes are modern. So basically, I take modern clothes with a...

    Clothing for parkour, and other adventurey athletic pursuits

    On a second look at the second link I posted, they seem to be polyester. They have 100% cotton ones that are similar: http://www.duluthtrading.com/store/mens/mens-pants/work-pants-for-men/20208.aspx

    Clothing for parkour, and other adventurey athletic pursuits

    I would do cotton Khaki chinos with a gusseted crotch for ease of movement (something like this: http://www.backcountry.com/mountain-khakis-original-mountain-pant-mens-mkh0001 or http://www.duluthtrading.com/store/mens/mens-pants/work-pants-for-men/45519.aspx).

    Bow Ties

    I get the same thing. On more than one occasion, I've had someone playfully pull at it completely unaware that it is self-tied. Then they are completely amazed that I can re-tie it. lol.

    What are you wearing today??

    I agree. I love the outfit, and think she looks very elegantly sharp. I love when people aren't afraid of mixing colors, patterns, and textures.

    Necktie Knots

    So, since reading this thread a few days ago, I've been enjoying the Pratt knot quite a bit. I usually do a four-in-hand or half windsor depending on the length/thickness of the tie and the collar type. Unfortunately, I have a rather large mid section to cover, so the length is always a problem...

    I'm so confused by this. Why would she care so much? It's odd to me that someone would have a problem with you dressing sharply. It's a great bow, and you tie it superbly.

    Bow Ties

    The shape/dimensions and thickness (or un-thickness, really) is what caused me to ask.

Sometimes logos, material, clasp & stop shape and...

    Titanic?

    I would start by going to shorpy and searching "1912" to look at authentic high-res photos of the year: http://www.shorpy.com/search/node/1912 Then I'd try to Google up some advertising of the time period.

    It looks like the regular way except instead of bringing the end through the back, he pulls it up around the center and through the front.

    Thanks, Ville. They are a bit too narrow for me. Damn my ridiculously wide feet!
