I just go with Murry's. The price can not be beat, nor can the hold. The primary complaint seems to be that it is 'hard to wash out'. My answer to that is, so? I use it every day and as such, that is not a problem. Frankly, it is better to not wash completely out as it can make it a bit of a...

Highly recommend Luxire. They have been fantastic.

Wanted to send along kudos to Luxire for their Spearpoint collar shirts. I have ordered two and they have been perfect. Quite mind blowing actually. A made to measure shirt, perfectly made and once ordered it took 9 days for the first to reach me....7 for the second (I am in the USA). Feels too...

I have been pleased, considering the cost, with the unhemmed Dickies 874 pants which I put 2" cuffs on. Based on period catalog examples, when set up this way, they have a pretty nice early 1950's vibe about them. The Ben Davis - Original Ben's - have a good roomy cut and seem to have a nice...

How accurate to the 1930's original fit are Ben Davis work jeans? Are their current 'original fit' jeans truly original? If so, they would seem to be a nice item for a fair price.....

$2.39 (the price of the shoes in 1934) is worth $42.56 in today's dollars. Guess the price of these shoes have been hit by more than inflation.......

I am considering ordering some custom Selvedge jeans from Luxire, but I am not sure how to size. What I want are cut like a 1940's early 1950's style. I suspect they have a higher rise, but as I don't have a pair, I am not sure how to provide measurements. I have current 501's. Is there a 'rule...

In regards to mens style in the 1950's and back, is the use French Cuffs/cuff links ever ok without a coat....or for that matter, without a tie? I am not talking about being in the office, taking your coat off and putting it on your chair. I mean showing up to work...or a function sans coat yet...

Does 'Natty Shirts' make a Spearpoint collar?

Ah! So you know Gianni Garko and the Sartana movies. Impressive. Yes, I am a big time Italian Western fan. Good call!

Above are found in the 1934-35 Montgomery Ward Fall & Winter catalog. Above Wolverine 1000 mile boots are found in my closet. Close match, no?

Here I have a pair of mens works shoes, black, non-Steel toe. These are lightly used. I am a sized 10.5 and have worn these, but they are really too big. They are also wide. As such, I am guessing they are size 11 or even 11.5 (lean more toward 11) and are for sure wider than a standard D width...
