Not exactly golden era, but your face reminds me of another Sophia: Sophia Coppola

No matter how strong one's aversion may be to Notches on DJ's, there are really too many far worse and commonly seen transgressions (clip on ties, unconventional ties, lack of waist covering, and so on) in evening attire for any particular lapel style to be considered a "faux pas".

I suppose I'm just not doing it any justice with my description, but I'm certain it wasn't a fishmouth lapel. The lapel's top edge was indeed a straight continuation of the gorge line, which was simply at a less acute angle than usually seen.

I think a lot of us here have learned to maneuver eBay through trial and error. I've acquired some great suits that fit quite wonderfully through the 'bay. I also have some earlier purchases that don't fit me at all, being either too big or too small. That said, eBay proabably isn't the best...

IMO, Charlie Huang's sentiment above about the width of the notch lapel (a wider one creating a more dramatic triangular form, similar to the effect of peaks) counts for tailcoats as well as DJs. (I think you also echoed his sentiment) I've seen a notch lapel that was wide enough and with a...

Very nice! I love the look of the gussets reinforced with pink, it's a nice touch. I'm on their website perusing the collar syles they have available, and I'm thrilled to see they're offering double-button high collars in a few styles as well. I'm having trouble getting consistent collar...

I know this is an old thread (I haven't frequented this section in a few months now), but assuming your interest in expanding your wardrobe was recently renewed, I may have something in my closet, depending on how tall your are. I have some suits and jackets in 38 Short and 38 Regular that I...

Sometimes, when a suit spends enough time around moth balls, it does get kind of "minty". :D

As far as I know, we don't have a one-eyed singer/comedian who can do wicked impressions. Do we? :eek: :p

Remember "Johnny Fontane" from The Godfather? His actual name's Al Martino, and I found out after random browsing of youtube clips and eventually finding my way into his wikipedia page that he passed away not more than a few hours ago...

http://www.leatherglovesonline.com/pages2/mp7a-d302.htm I have a pair of these in bronze that I use for driving. They're unlined and very thin but warm, and I think they claim that you could pick up a dime while wearing them, which I've found to be true. They're also very attractive, and...

As I understand it, bowlers are strictly daywear, so they are not appropriate with any evening attire.

SOLD! Hat's been sold folks! Thanks to everyone who expressed interest. For some reason, I can't find the "EDIT" button for my original post (So I could append "SOLD" to the title)

Candle Warmers I don't know if anybody else here does this, but this is an idea that I've had on my mind for a while, and was only finally realized today. My hair is finally long enough again to require the use of some straight Murray's (Otherwise, RC by itself would work), and today, I...

Howdy Todd! Welcome to the lounge, bud. Do you have an email address where we can get in touch and arrange details? Mine: stinphoto@aol.com
