My dear friend, I'm finished. For a wile I've been taking time off, I've lost interest in many things, I still have a burning passion for the past but, I've grown tired of talking about suits, hats, trains, planes, cars... those things are great but, there's more to life then my hobbies. I'm...

Well, to all those who know me personally or not, just want to thank you for all the good times and hope we can keep in contact in the future. For those who want to keep in touch, you can send me a PM with your email address or what have ya and I'll reply with mine. It's been a swell 3 + plus...

NICE STUFF! I'm happy for you Henry! There are a few ties in the lot that may be 70's but, the bulk of the lot are 40's and early 50's... not bad my friend! =WR=

The crew I was taking around on a ghost hunt the night in question can tell you that soon as ITG told me about Matt's loss, I became very bitter, I cursed like a sailor and was easy to upset... well, I was wearing a sailor suit at the time so, it fit I guess. I kept my eyes open for this "Devil...

I totally agree with you!:eusa_clap =WR=

OH YEAH!!!:D HAHAHAHAHA CRAZY MAN!!! I REMEMBER THAT... Small world!!!lol =WR=

Oh, don't feel bad, if it's a 70' suit, GO FOR IT!!!:D BIG GREEN LIGHT ON THAT ONE!!! I've seen larger suits at Yellostone but, they don't really mark the sizes very well there. However, thrift shops are good places too look as well and I know there are some good ones up there and in...

Thanks Marc for the WARNING! When I got the suit, the stain on the pants were already a few years old. I took it to French's cleaners in Pasadena which are known for their expert vintage clothing care... they failed at getting the stains out!!! They said they were afraid to wash it because it...

Palm Beach and Oxi Clean= CLEAN GOODALL Yes gents, that's right! Oxi Clean works very well! I have a late 30's Palm Beach that I've been dieing to wear but, there were ( and do mean WERE) stains on the pants. I bought some Oxi Clean, the stuff you see that bearded guy sell on TV and I put it...

So, you're saying you wish I was in the K-Mart clearance section?lol :o =WR=

Luckily I've only come across one suit from the 40's that was altered in the 10 year period I've collected. It was a double breasted and some schmuck cut the peaked parts of the lapels off! They made it a notched lapel job but, there still were two button holes aiming up!!! How ugly and...

Nothing chaps... My ass more then this one... ZOOT SUIT RIOT!!!:rage: :rage: :rage: There I am, standing there and then hear a few T-shirt togged grown boys singing the words in a mocking fashion to one of the worst songs ever recorded! Makes me blood boil hotter then the sands of Iwo...

Man... lol how did I know you were going to say that!!! lol lol lol You're ok in my book! =WR=

How right you are Lizzie! Bing was known to wear very casual clothes to broadcasts... I believe it started in the 40's... before then, he dressed very nicely in his early days 1928-1935 but, the look every one remembers of ol' Bing is that of a plaid wool shirt buttoned all the way, untucked...

If you've got an original 30's, 40's or early 50's suit... DON'T DO IT!!! You can find later 50's and early 60's suits just about every where! I saw a slew of them at AAARDVARK'S ODD ARK in Hollywood, try Canoga Park any of the other locatoins! If you live up north, try Yellowstone Vintage...
