Which suit to wear at my
This is my favorite suit which I feel is very conservative! Should I wear it to my college reunion? I was told that the late Duke of Windsor had this same suit in his closet that he wore on special occasions.
One of my favorite actors of all time is Joel McCrea. Thought he was outstanding in Alfred Hitchcock's "Foreign Correspondent". Notice the button collar shirt in this 1940 movie!
My favorites in the 1960's were:
1. English Leather Cologne--still use this even today
2. Russian Leather Cologne
3. British Sterling After Shave
4. Old Spice After Shave

The majority of my ties are 3 1/2 inches in width with the remainder in the 3 3/4 inch range. The ties I have in 3 1/4 inches and 4 inches are rolled up and packed away in boxes.

The English Walkers I am talking about were a mid ankle loafer dress shoe. I am pretty sure that they were made in Great Britain at the time because a pair back in 1964 ran about $50.00. Today with inflation and the value of the dollar, they would run around $500.00. They were dressy and very...
Back in the mid 1960's, there was a very popular shoe called English Walkers. They were a mid ankle type of loafer that were extremely popular. I have down numerous searches to no avail to find more information about these popular traditional shoes.
