    Do you own a Tux?

    Unless I'm in a production of My Fair Lady, I doubt that I'll be needing morning trousers. I was actually thinking of wearing them with a dinner jacket. It may be a fashion faux pas but, who knows, I may give it a go. :)

    Hat Sightings

    You see plenty of hats in Dallas. Mostly baseball caps and Westerns with the occasional ivy league or newsboy cap and even a fedora now and then.

    Do you own a Tux?

    I recently purchased these grey houndstooth tuxedo pants. When can I wear them and with what? Is a cream shawl collar dinner jacket as acceptable as a black shawl collar jacket? Either? Neither?

    Estate sale?

    I've made some of my best buys at estate sales. Particularly those where there are no heirs interested in the deceased person's personal property. I've found an old pipe table, a complete eight place setting of Churchill Blue Willow china, entire stereo systems, kitchen items with bakelite...

    CJ, I've been pretty happy with my Stetson Retro and my Stetson Center Dent. You might want to see if you can find them on sale this late in the year. The Center Dent will probably set you back over $100.00. The Retro is probably $40-45. They're easy to find online. I believe both can be...

    THE Most Unlikely Leading Man of the Golden Era

    All right already! You're just jealous. :p ;) :) Douglas was wonderful in Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House as the attorney and close friend of Cary Grant. He won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Hud. He wasn't the quintesential leading man but he had chops. I have to agree with...

    Why don't we write letters anymore?

    I quite agree with this post. Unfortunately, the art of letter writing is becoming yet another vintage exercise. Penmanship is no longer taught in schools and, while understandable, it's a skill I'm sorry to see no longer practiced. I eagerly anticipate receiving letters from my mother...

    I have finally found a vintage bowler in a size that fits me - 7 3/4!

    If I had a 7 5/8 bowler, I'd send it to you. DJ, I definitely feel your pain as do many others on this forum. Tony B is correct. Most sellers on Ebay don't know diddly about hats. Even more frustrating is the fact that most of them don't want to learn and refuse to correct listings even when...

    It`s all been done before.

    You know, I've been following this discussion and think it's worth mentioning that people of all ages are spending good money for older/vintage items. There are older folks who buy these items for at least two reasons. One is because they've reached a point in life where they can afford things...

    What are you wearing today??

    Nice hat too Paddy, I liked this so much that I had to post a larger image. I particularly like the 4 pocket, 6 button vest. Can we see the entire outfit including the shoes sometime?

    Celebrity Transformations

    WOW! That is stunning. I can certainly see the lighter color but it looks like her hairline was actually shaved/cut back at the temples and sides of her brow. How hard was it to maintain the new hairline?
