New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

Hi there!

I'm new here, looking for like-minded people. I live in the NYC area and am looking for a social life outside of the comedy scene that I'm heavily entrenched in. I love cocktail culture, swing music, and jazz. I'm particularly enamored with Art Deco interior design and architecture. I also love the vintage clothes of the 40's and 50's. On a budget, it's hard to start an adequate collection, but you have to start somewhere.

I'd love to meet more people like me in my area who appreciate the past.

Hey everyone,

My name is Eamon, and I hail from Singapore. I've been a longtime lurker of this forum, Ask Andy, Styleforum, and the various Reddit men's fashion subs. I work as a customer service rep for a software developer, my job taking me down to financial districts and educational institutes to meet clients face to face. As such, my professional appearance is very important to me. I would describe my style as classic 1940s to early 50s, with a preference for windowpane sport coats and leather flight jackets. I am 28 years old this year (practically a whelp around here) so I hope all you ladies and gents can bear with my millennial insolence. Once again, I would like to thank you for welcoming the noobs aboard, and I'll see you around.

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen!

My name is Zachary, and as you can imagine, I'm new in town.

I'm 27 years old and I just love anything related to "vintage." Above all, I love old music as described here and old movies, especially b/w movies from the 40s and 50s. I usually do not listen to music made after 1965. Furthermore, I collect North American license plates; my oldest ones are Connecticut (tax sticker Aug 1963) and Tennessee from 1933. I do not watch movies because of their plots, I just enjoy the costumes. (I don't have a sensitive antenna for film plots.)

My occupation currently is working as an Esperanto teacher, besides attending University and looking for some kind of not-so-difficult, not-so-bad-paying work.

In my leasure time, I have appearances as a magician, comedian, and ventriloquist.

Talk to you later,
Zach

I'd like to say hello. Like many others, I've always admired the style and panache of men who wore fedoras. I'm 50 and I want to dress like a man. I no longer want to go out in public wearing shorts, t-shirts, or ball caps. Sadly, I'm cursed with a giant 7 3/4 head, which means I can't find vintage hats, but I'm buying new hats and trying to dress better. I appreciate all the style tips I've learned from you in the last few years.

As another "punkin' head", I feel your pain. I admire the older hats and enjoy seeing them, but there's almost no chance in heck I'll find a nice vintage hat in my size that I could afford. So I learn the style from the old hats here, and try to apply that to the few new hats that I've bought (at very affordable prices compared to vintage!). For folks like us, there are fewer vintage options, but I really do enjoy the company here.

Good luck!
Regan
