    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Tom St.Clair is the name. I actually found this site while looking for a place my best friend and I could show off our vintage wear and still blend in. I'm a US Marine in Okinawa, Japan. My love for vintage came about through my Dad. He had a beautiful charcoal fedora that he wore...

    Matching hats and professions....

    I'm a Marine and I have to wear a hat (We call them "Covers") whenever I'm outside. I have been written up for not wearing one of the various covers I've been issued. I have a few fedoras and a Hamburg, which I wear when I can. But, I guess the best headwear the Corps has to offer is the...

    Not quite the replies I was expecting. Have no fear I was VERY specific in my details and if it's not what I want in the end I won't pay for it. That's the deal I made with the little old man from Japan. I requested Flaps for the trousers, I did not specify that before. The besom pockets are...

    Happy Independence Day

    Sadly I will be spending my nation's birthday half way around the globe. So the rest of you, party just that much more for me. (And what better way to celebrate the Independence of your country then exploding a small part of it?)

    You know I asked him about that. He said that he no longer has time to go around to the brks. I had heard about him while I was still on Pendleton, but the Marine I was talking to was stationed there about 3 years ago. I think it's the same "Tommy" cause he looks like he's pushing 80.

    Pocket flaps? yes or no? I've seen some on pictures of trousers but is it ok to get them on the jacket? If you have them on one should you have them on the other?

    I really really like a 3-piece. I understand you can go double breasted and still wear a vest or waistcoat. Anything in particular I should look for?

    OK, I guess what I'm REALLY looking for is suggestions in cut, shape etc. To make it perfect. 30's-40's what do I want to focus on? To cuff or not to cuff? Lapels are a big deal, but how big do you want them before they become a big deal. Catch the drift. Remember "New in Town" My own...

    A Man in a Hat... ?

    I always think of the FDRs and Churchills who's hats defined their faces and who's faces defined an era.

    So I recently moved to Okinawa, Japan. The wife and I were shopping around and then I found an incredible little man. His name is Tommy Tailor. He says I can show him ANY picture of a suit and he will make it in my choice of color and fabric for $350.00. So after talking with the wife she...

    the old fashoned barber shop shave...

    You know last time I got a striaght razor shave the barber cut my face to shreds. It'll be a cold day in hell before I go to that guy again. Getting shaves from a barber didn't become a regular, common practice until the 1920's. Before that barbers also did minor surgery. Blood-letting was...
