    Boater faction!

    Yea David,I'm afraid I was the guy bidding against you if that Lee is a 71/2 and from how good it looks I wish I would have won it. I gave up and bought a Capas Hats Plus Panama Boater. I am very happy with it and would recommend it to those of us with big heads.

    Any one used this site for suits? (The Harris Tweed Shop)

    If you can settle for a sportcoat, for now, Ebay is the place to pick up Harris Tweed. The past week I've got 4 sportcoats of differing patterns and haven't paid more than $50 for any of them.(Three were $20)

    How old is your waistline?

    I believe the waist should be at or just below the navel. I know depending on the cut of the pants, they may be made to rest at the hips, but I only buy pants that allow me to wear them at my navel. This article is stupid and was written by someone trying to appear young and hip. Levi's were...

    Braces without Waistcoat

    Most of the photos you see in the 20's to 50's that were taken in the south in the summer the men without their jackets could care less if anyone saw their suspenders or not. People that get upset about those things never spent a summer of 100 plus degree tempatures without air conditioning.

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    You didn't happen to just sell those on Ebay did you? I just bought a pair that looks similar to those. However, yours look much worse than the picture on the auction. If that wasn't your auction I'm sorry to disrespect your loafers. I myself am fond of them.

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    Gene,I've got the black version of those wigtips right there and I purchased them new in the early 90's. Mine are made in the U.S.A. also. I was in Penney's today and I don't remember seeing that style available any longer.

    Papa Got some brand new shoes! I broke down and bought a brand new pair of shoes today(not at Goodwill). I went to the Florsheim outlet store and found a pair of shoe I'd never seen before. I did'nt like them at first but they quickly grew on me. They're called Killian by Stacy Adams. They...

    10 pairs later... I've been sewing buttons all weekend and I'm kind of curious about which I prefer.

    Which pants get the "Logger Buttons"?

    What kind of pants do you put the 'Batchelor Buttons","Logger Buttons" on. Do you just put them casuals or only khakis or do you even put them on the nice trousers you pair with a blazer. I have a pair of Goodwill bought Pery Ellis slacks that are super high waisted and I want to wear them with...

    Monkstrap history....

    I just won a pair of modern Bass Monkstap split toe shoes and I got to wondering the history of the Monkstrap shoe. How far do the go back and all other such info? If you want to include pics of your Monkstraps go ahead. This will be my first pair and I really like the look and style of them.

    Combining seperates

    I like the look but... I think it would be easier as a jacket. However, I still think it would work well with greys and other dark jackets.

    Combining seperates

    I go solid and pattern.. To be on the safe side, I tend to pair a solid with a pattern to prevent it all from becoming to busy. Example: A dark brown jacket with a light yellow/brown tweed or a light black/white check with midnight blue/black trousers. Viel Gluck, Jerry

    Combining seperates

    I combine alot... I only have two suit sets and I save those for formal occasions. I usually go light jacket/dark trouser occasionally but more often go classic dark jacket/light trousers. I think it's more of an eye for matching thing more than anything else. I got a lot of combo ideas from...
