    Recommend a Panama ...

    Unless you got it in the last couple of days, you have a different hat. The natural hemp ones just got to JJ this week for the first time.

    Actually, I've seen them, and they're the real deal. They're not the Viscose Milan that you usually see.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I'll give it a shot. Does anyone know of a good supplier for leather sweatbands? I'm in NYC and I've tried Manny's and Manhatco, but neither carries them. Thanks!

    Vintage Style Reference in Vernacular Photographs

    That's a Dorothea Lange photo. According to the post about here work at the Selvedge Yard the photo is from November 1936. “Drought refugee from Polk, Missouri. Awaiting the opening of orange picking season at Porterville, California.” The post is well worth checking out, as are the comments...

    Reproduction classic workwear

    I've had one of these for a few months now and I like it enough that I bought another when I saw it on clearance today. I also picked up an incredibly soft striped button down. Levi's is really killing it lately for good looking affordable stuff.

    New York from Above - 1924

    I'm not sure this is the right forum for this, but I couldn't figure out where else to put it. If you go to NYCityMap you can search for aerial views of NYC, then click on the camera icon and go back to the view from 1924. Enjoy!

    Spats are back - and I'm horrified!

    Honestly, I kind of do love it. But I have a thing for beat up top hats and I quite like the mixing of modern and vintage that's going on right now. I guess I'm just not much of a purist.

    The Hollywood Waist-

    I know these aren't a Hollywood waist, but having read through the thread this seems to be the place to discuss high-waisted pants in general. http://www.jpeterman.com/Mens-Pants/19th-Century-Tweed-Slacks-1 Anyway, I have a pair of these in gray and a pair in brown on the way, and I'm...

    Bicycles & suits

    Those are some great outfits. On a side note, Stephen, who is that in your avatar?

    A word to men who wear high boots

    I'm certainly not sure, but it could be to prevent ticks. And on a different note, I love the high boot look in this picture.

    Banana Republic

    I actually got that double breasted vest a few days ago. I'd been looking for one for a while and couldn't find one for anything resembling a reasonable price. The BR one was still more expensive than I would have liked, but I'll be wearing it for a long time so I could deal with it. The fabric...
