    What are you wearing today??

    I needed some cheering up yesterday, hence stroller and striped bags with mauve gingham shirt, white soft turndown detachable collar, green/mauve patterned tie and green carnation.

    The Young Fogey Phenomenon

    Young fogeydom was still prevalent at Durham University in the late 1990s.

    Formal Wear Primer

    A small curiosity here, a vintage made-up bow tie by Horne Brothers, with special clips to hold the tie to the base of the detachable collar.

    Show us your waistcoats/Vests?

    A nice, albeit rather small, shawl collar white pique dress waistcoat I picked up recently.

    What are you wearing today??

    Many thanks all; I was going to work but also meeting a colleague's wife and new baby for the first time, and going out for lunch with two old colleagues, so thought I might push the boat out a bit. Glad you approve!

    Post New Hats Here!

    The green hat has a perforated and stitched band and triple-stitched brim. The green satin and cellophane liner is detachable and the sweatband is roan leather. It is by Rheinhut, retailed by Hut-Dessau, Mülheim-Ruhr and came with one of those curious plastic crown forms. On the ticket inside it...

    Very, very nice!

    Unknown rolled gold proppelling pencil

    As Robrinay said, a lot of makers made this style. I would say that the "cap" end is very reminiscent of Wahl and their "Eversharp" range but the clip is not the same. So I would say imitational Wahl, and stylistically probably 1930s.

    Double breasted waistcoats, slipped version

    That's very much the sort of fabric.

    Thank Rodney, I agree, it does have that look and feel to it.

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    If it is permissible to deviate from the theme slightly, here is a chain I picked up recently: It appears to be made (from the hue) either of copper or brass with a high copper content. It is quite unusual in having a ring bolt instead of t-bar and integral fob. It isn't quite me, so I...

    Double breasted waistcoats, slipped version

    Yes, it's a poor photograph. I will try and take a better one when I get the slips back. In the meanitime, the ribbing is horizontal, the ribs being a little thicker than grosgrain,

    Double breasted waistcoats, slipped version

    I will see what I can do, with pleasure. I would like to raise one small caveat in relation to slip material. I have handled perhaps three or four sets of slips, and whilst they were all made of material which was used in other contexts for white waistcoats, ties, etc, none of them were in...

    Cufflinks and Shirt Studs.

    Another little find: black glass or jet bachelor's buttons. Designed for wear with stiff single cuffs, the backs, by an ingenious mechanism, completely detach.

    What pens are we carrying today?

    I have decided that mechanical pencils are the way forward. Here are 4 Wahl Eversharps (1 Sterling Silver, 1 Silver Plate, 2 Gold Filled, a mix of England & USA-made) and 1 no-name Rolled Gold.

    Double breasted waistcoats, slipped version

    Just checking in! ErWeSa, you may wish to know that an eBay seller is offering new slips, made by their in-house tailor, for £35 a pair, in both styles illustrated above. This is much cheaper than Ede & Ravensvroft, who were charging £65 last time I heard. A search for "waistcoat slips" should...

    Cufflinks and Shirt Studs.

    My daughter also had this little lot passed down to her from her maternal great-grandfathers, to be disposed of for her benefit. I have kept (for a consideration!) the abalone shell and small damascene cufflinks with the bird design. The other damascene cufflinks are very nice (I particularly...
