    The handwriting of everyday

    In Ontario, Canada, I think most boards of education have stopped teaching cursive writing.

    Vintage Barbour jackets

    I think part of the problem is how often the jacket gets wet. If it's wet, be sure to hang it to dry in a dry place, not a damp basement. My Beaufort is 25 years old, give or take, and doesn't have the infamous pong. It does faintly smell like a canvas tent, however, there is no mustiness.

    Commonly available jeans - higher waist?

    Another reason I like the Wranglers is that the watch pocket is large enough to hold a medium sized pocket knife, like a stockman. The watch pocket in my Levi's barely holds a Case Peanut, and still manages to wear quickly.

    Crikey!

    Commonly available jeans - higher waist?

    Yup. That describe me, which is why I buy the slim fit version of the cowboy cut jeans. Seems to solve the issue.

    I have cowboy cut wranglers, and I haven't noticed any flare, thank goodness.

    SCHOTT P623H Fit Pics 4-20-19

    It's a very nice jacket, and seems to fit well. However, it's a bit difficult to be sure about the length when your shirt is not tucked in. Enjoy the jacket!

    It would be nice if we didn't have to sign in to see the light bulb that is used to change to the dark background.

    Is British style not what it was (or maybe never was in the 1st place)?

    And not a sign of Kenneth Branagh or Johnny Depp.

    Hair cuts

    I was just going through this thread for the first time in a while. So sad to see so many great pictures have been lost over the years, replaced by those annoying placeholders.

    Is British style not what it was (or maybe never was in the 1st place)?

    I recently saw a BBC (I think) program about the Orient Express, or some similar train. Most of the people that were going on the trip looked like they had just rolled out of bed - including someone who was wearing what looked like pajama trousers. And there were a number of sweatpants...

    How do you think a vintage diner would do in modern times?

    I think Dinerman may be interested in this article from the NY Times...

    http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/small-business/sb-growth/the-challenge/hat-vendors-goal-sales-in-these-here-parts/article26575355/ I have looked at Last Best West's website a number of times. Interesting to see it mentioned in the above-linked article. Cheers, Harry.

    The Deities of Men’s Style (NY Times Article)

    I caught that, too. Contrived insouciance I call it (the depiction of the old stars back in the day, that is.)

    Denim is Inappropriate for the Golden Era

    From Wikipedia, "The name "denim" derives from the French serge de Nîmes, referring to the city of Nîmes." I read somewhere that this name came into vogue in the first decade of the 20th century, though Levi's were of course around much earlier.
