    Moths!!!

    I just noticed a few moth holes on one of my newer modern tweed jackets, and I'm absolutely stupified. I don't know what to do besides dry clean everything, and that would cost hundreds of dollars that I don't have. I haven't seen any moths in my room, though I did see them now and again at...

    Suede Care

    I have a pair of two tone navy/tan suede shoes that I love dearly. However, over the corse of their wear, they have developed some rough patches and dark spots. Cleaning with a suede brush and suede cleaning block just seem to rip up the nap with not much actual help. Is there any way to save...

    No-Iron Shirts

    I hate wrinkled shirts more than anything else, but Ironing is pretty torturous, especially in college, as the ironing board is in the same room as the garbage, in a room with no windows. But I also hate polyester like the plauge. Where is the best place to get a No-Iron shirt that's not too...

    Retiring at 100

    I was browsing around on NPR.org, and I found this story, which is of the really neat human intrest stuff that I love about NPR. I wish this fella could go on a lecture circuit or something, it sounds like he's got a lot of good advice to give. From the picture, looks like a smart dresser too...

    Monocles

    As a vintage enthusist who's also quite nearsighted, I had an idea recently, to get a single contact lens and to wear a monocle. It wouldn't be for every day wear, but wearing a monocle would be intense. Would any of you happen to know where one could go about getting a real funtional monocle...

    Fur on Men

    So what do you fellas think about a fur lined coat on a man? Wool on the outside, fur collar and fur lining. I ask because I live in Maine, and am having trouble finding classic alternatives to the big puffy down numbers everyone else wears. However, is fur just too feminine? I like the...

    Sources for Suits

    I'm a rather poor college student with a fondess for suits from 1920-1964. What's a good place to look? So far it's been eBay, and while I've snagged 2 1964 suits and one 1940's suit for reasonable prices, four, all of them fantastic and rare styles (and fit) went absolutely crazy today, three...

    What color hat to wear with a blue suit?

    I have avoided blue suits somewhat because I can't really think of a good hat to wear with them. Black and grey go with the greyscale, and brown goes with earth tones and olives, but both look kind of funny with navy, unless I'm wearing a tan shirt or tie to balence out the hat.

    Intrest Thread - Jazzy 50's suit

    I just ordered this suit on eBay, and it's way too small for me. The measurements look like a 38L. It's not a forties suit, but if anyone wants a tight jazzy fifties suit, it would look really neat with a narrow brimmed fedora. I'd estimate late fifties. It's in perfect condition (smells a...
