    Getting my wardrobe off the ground

    Thanks for the Info Two Types, you've given me a lot to think about. The style I'm going for is definitely American. I feel like the style in 1940's Australia was still significantly colonial and altogether different. Also, Australia had very different influences to America; Music + Culture...

    Getting my wardrobe off the ground

    Thanks, LovemyHats. I'd be delighted to PM you some measurements. I'd be ever so grateful if you went out of your way to procure some clothes for me :). I spent today visiting a few op shops in my area. They seem to have a lot of standard stuff and a lot of it is not my size. I did however find...

    Getting my wardrobe off the ground

    Hey all, thought I might ask you all for some advice. Currently, I've been trying to get my wardrobe off the ground and into something resembling the style you guys seem to know so well, though it hasn't been going well. The current state of my wardrobe is a pretty sorry sight. It's got a few...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    So I'm looking to buy one too, though I'm not sure where to get it from. A few websites have been mentioned and I've looked through most of them. I'd like one that looks as close to Bogie's as possible. What's the best place to get one like it? The one at this website...

    EXchange names for phone numbers

    Intriguing! Absolutely delighted with the result. In Australia, we use an Area Code which is mainly state based and starts with 0 and is two digits. Victoria is 03. This is however not needed to call unless it's long distance. So your in Victoria and need to call Sydney just say. You would put...

    Video games based in the golden era

    All great games. I've played quite a few. Bioshock and Fallout are both great. Mafia 2 is coming out soon also. http://au.gamespot.com/pc/action/mafia2/index.html Whole bunch of stuff on it there. On a slightly unrelated note, I would absolutely love to play an MMO completely based in the...

    EXchange names for phone numbers

    Not fair. Australia never had this. It's much more interesting then boring numbers. Maybe I can make my own. No idea how. There are no exchange names down here. My number would be 5291 3406. How do you put that into EXchange form?

    Our own vintage town

    This would be an absolute joy to either visit or live in for many people, but it would need to have a tourist element for it to be feasible like Diamondback mentioned. We have something like this in Australia. It's a place in Ballarat called Sovereign Hill where the gold rush was and you pay to...

    Gable vs. Bogart

    Thanks to the thread I went out and borrowed a bunch of movies from both actors from the local video shop. Slowly going though them. It's good to look back at what the classics were, and all the history is great. Thoroughly enjoying them. XD

    Aftershave : That nostalgic true masculine smell!

    A little adventure I went on yesterday. Since I'd never heard of many of the fragrances mentioned here and having never smelt them either, I decided to go looking for them in the city. (My dad doesn't wear any cologne or aftershave.) Anyways, I started off simple: looking for 4 fragrances, Old...

    Introduction and a few questions

    So does anyone have some info about the shirts? I had a look at the guybera thread and I'm definately getting a few of them for summer, though it's winter down here in Australia now.

    Vintage Sunglasses

    I also, just got a pair of Wayfarer 2 Sunglass for my 18th Bday. I love 'em and I wear 'em whenever I wear my fedora. Love the looks people give me when I'm around in the city. XD Will get a pic of me wearing them when I upload a picture. :)

    Bay Rum year round?

    At the risk of sounding a little stupid, I must ask this question: What's the difference between Aftershave and Cologne? I've always thought they were different things, but my parents say different things which only seems to confuse me.

    Shave of the Day

    I've just started shaving, and I'd like to learn how to shave the proper way ;) My dad uses an electric shaver so no help there, though my grandad used to shave with a disposable blade razor. Any tips on what I need or what I should start out with? I've been looking around a few shops and I...
