    Not much selling on Ebay??

    I have been looking on Ebay for some vintage suits and I can't find as many as in the past. It seems like there is a slump at the moment. And the few that are there are going cheap! What gives?

    Not quite understanding Bay Rum...???

    The other day I was doing a photo shoot for a magic magazine. We are spoofing a mindreader from the 1930's named Ted Annemann. He was a very serious person who hardly ever smiled and drank like a fish. Here is me as Ted caught in the shower!

    Lapel vs. Tie Width?

    Is their any fashionable correlation between the width of your tie and the width of your lapels? It seems logical that a wide tie with thin lapels would look odd, and vice versa. By this same logic, a wide tie would look best with a wide lapel, and skinny with skinny. Is their a rule on this...

    Higher Shirt Collars?

    In the Suits section Mr. Chevalier has been kind enough to critique some of our ensembles. He suggested I wear a shirt with a higher collar. Does anyone know of a manufacturer of said shirts?

    Invisible Suspenders?

    Anyone ever hear of/use something called Invisible Suspenders? They look like regular suspenders, only they only have 2 anchor points. 4 strands that connect to only to points. Hope that makes sense. Also, the anchor points don't look like they connect to buttons. The ends connect to metal...

    Mix and Match

    I tend to sometimes mix up my jackets and pants from my suits. Mostly I take striped suit jackets and add them to a solid pant. Or a solid jacket to either a solid or patterned pant. My question concerns color stacking while doing this. Should you wear lighter colored jackets with darker pants...

    Your sizes?

    I am always looking for vintage suits. Most I find do not fit me, but hate to let them go by the wayside. What are some of your sizes, so that if I find something, I can get it and then ship it off to someone who is interested. I am a size 40R. 33 waist 43 outseam. Chad

    Unusual Color Suit

    My recent purchase on Ebay, was this nice 'coffee brown' suit. It fits like a glove!!! I took picks with the coat on and off and from the front and back. What type of waist do these pants have? Whatever it is, I like the way it hugs my hips. A great fit! Chad
