I'm glad this thread got bumped as I've used it in the past. I generally wear tattersall shirts and V Neck Sweaters with my tweed jacket and find that it seems to offer the right balance. I once wore a tie that was somewhat similar in color and design to a tattersall shirt I have and was told it...
Today I found a very nice flatcap that I would have liked to own, but it was fairly expensive. I wish I had taken a picture to share but it was a camel sort of khaki-ish color and was 100 percent wool. It felt good and fit me very well. I actually happened to be wearing a brown tweed jacket and...
I suppose Iam a general fashion enthusiast. Being in high school I see people dressed no diffrent from hobos every day and I wished to look diffrent and more smart. I wore one of my fathers old suits to a function one day and discovered that I loved wearing suits. I like the feeling of being...
To be perfectly honest I doubt there is a single person in my high school who knows any of those famous characters. I mentioned Humphrey Bogart to a couple of people which was met with confused looks and people asaking me who that was. I mentioned Casablanca and most of my friends had heard of...
Today I actually went to school wearing khaki slacks, brown leather dress shoes, a navy blue blazer, and dress shirt and tie with my trench coat and trilby fedora on. I've worn both my trilby and my trench to school a million times but rarely both. One kid told me he loved the way I dressed...
UPDATE!
My parents have agreed to get me a fur felt fedora for my birthday which is a little more than a month away. I live in Massachusetts which is not exactly a haven for hat stores so can anyone point out where we might go to get one? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
I enjoyed the Beast from 20,000 Fathoms. Sort of a proto Godzilla thing. Of course the original Godzilla movie is to my mind THE giant monster movie. My mother told me that when she was a kid all the old black and white films would play during Creature Double Feature and she saw most of the old...
Sorry about double posting but I simply had to share this story with you. I'am lucky enough to be a member of an organization called Upward Bound which is dedicated to helping high school students get into college. They offer all sorts of opportunities and it is truly a privledge to be a part of...
Hello everyone! The other night I was watching an old movie called Them! on TCM(A channel I could not live without! It is my portal to a better time.) It was a very good old sci fi/horror film about giant ants attacking and I was able to admire many of the vintage suits and especially the VERY...
I own a red bowtie that I occasionally wear with my tweed sportcoat or with my navy blazer. I've recieved many sincere compliments on it from lots of people, although my girlfriend dislikes it. It is one of my favorite ties though and I'm fond of quoting one of my heroes and telling people...
I would agree. Mine was only 25 but there was also a dark greenish trench that was from the Korean war. That trench was 75 and was a bit pricey for me but I might go back and see about it when I have more of that elusive thing we call money. There was also a World War II era wool Great coat at...
At my school lots of guys dress like this. Long t shirt with pants around their knees. Lots of the girls come in wearing pajamas instead of actually being dressed for school. I must say i consider these people and their mode of dress quite distasteful. I usually go to school wearing an odd...
Yes I must say he pulls off the look quite well! And thanks Randooch I'll post photos once I register for a photo sharing site and figure out how to share them on here
I'll be attending college this fall and am planning to use Mr Deckards list as a helpful guideline. I have three V Neck sweaters, athough only one is a sweater vest. 3 suits, one of which is DB and a few sportcoat. A tweed sportcoat and navy blazer are both in my wardrobe as are multiple khaki...
Yes Im certain its the same coat. Vietnam era, picked it up in a military store a few months back. Its heavy but very warm and I recognized the coat you were wearing immediatly as the one I have. Mine reads Overcoat Mens Wool though. No gabardine mentioned, but it is definitly the same coat...
Ahh I see now. Thanks for the correction Doctor Damage! And I will say it is a fine coat! I wore it today in fact and it kept me cozy and warm as always.
Yes I will be certain to go and have my size checked and as I said before I might actually need a size thats just over what I would really want due to not wishing to dislodge and potentially break/damage my sound processor(Which is pretty much the only think keeping me connected to the wonderful...
Thank you for the advice Sam, I'll certainly consider all that you said. And I've gotta have more khakis than any other type of pants! Can't believe they used to be hard to find. I'll certainly take good care of any hats I manage to find
Good advice Rick! I will have to take a drive out to "the boonies" and see what I can come up with. There's not a whole heck of a lot in regards to thrift stores in my area. Theres one Salvation Army and thats about it. I would have to drive around a bit to find a proper thrift store thats...
