    Wing collars: Yea or Nay?

    Hello! I am currently going through an edwardian phase (I know, I know, a century too late:rolleyes: ). So, down to business. Wing collars. Once the domain of formal business dress it now appears to only show up in black tie. What I ask is, why? Why has this style been restricted to...

    Pocketwatches

    Ah! Most heartening news! Thank you! Well, I of course imagined them to be tough (to have survived up to now is clear testament to that fact :P). Hmm, glass scratches. That will be a problem, no doubt about it (it's open-faced). What I am also worried about is dropping it, I'm prone to...

    Pocketwatches

    Attention Horologists! Pocket watch survival in the 21st Century? I have recently acquired an old pocket watch (from the 20's or 30's I think), nothing special, 7 jewels and the label is nothing to rave about. I am by no means a collector,but I am enamored by the aesthetic of a pocket watch...

    Need input-bowler with tux?

    Mr. Vladimir is correct. If we're talking tails then anything besides a top hat would be... odd (read as WRONG! ABOMINATION!) :P ). Homburgs are okay for a dinner suit (and a coat), but with full white tie? I don't think so. Bowlers? Definitely not! (esp. with white tie!) With a normal...

    New to the forum! A couple questions..

    I believe the term for the individual is a "silent bidder", a lurking menace who pounces (or "swoops" ;) ) down for the kill at the last moment. Wow, the ole' 'bay really is a jungle :P

    Pince-Nez Eyewear

    Wow! Thank you so much sir! That is an amazing site that should prove to be most useful to me in the next month. I've been eyeing (:P) a pair(?) of these glasses for sometime, and was going to order them but I see that I should spend a little more time in research first. I've only spent a...

    a nominal amount is still an amount! bah! I trust my own mouse-clicky skills and have faith in my speedy internet server.

    New to the forum! A couple questions..

    lol this could be, ah, 'potentially problematic' :P. Okay, so, say you bid at the last minute $10k, bam! you've got the hat! And will probably pay $100-200 for it. But (*singsong)... imagine if just a few seconds before you bid someone else, in a similar strategy, also bid a really high...

    Poll: When you see a fellow hatwearer...

    Well, whenever I've passed someone wearing a fedora (say on campus - very rare, I've seen two, if I recall correctly), I haven't been wearing my own hat at the time! However, I was out walking back from dinner with some friends last time it was cold out (screwy weather), and thus had on my...

    Hello! (& questions concerning the Campdraft)

    I thank you all from the bottom of my bottom's bottom! (wherever the hell that is) So if that's taupe...then the silverbelly can only be lighter, right? I've seen some pics of a silverbelly campdraft around here, silvereed's. But it's still not as pale as I would like it (perhaps it's the...

    Hello! (& questions concerning the Campdraft)

    Greetings! :D Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and ta--well, actually, not much wealth. And not much taste either (and that's an overstatement!) just the few glimmers I've gleaned from my father (the only gentleman in the country! :P). And truly not much of a 'man' yet...
