    We are, we are, we are the mods.

    As an aficionado of vintage clothing and vintage youth sub culture, I like to think I know quite a bit about the mods, compared to your average guy. But I must admit, I know very little about the actual suits of the mods. I know they were working class youth, and they favored cutting edge...

    Thoughts on used bespoke?

    For the fist time, I came across some bespoke suits, as in Henry Poole, Gieves and Hawkes, etc. This guy was the real deal. They are 70s but classic cuts. I will be ebaying them. I really am digging all the fine features, details, quality etc. And did some googling on bespoke and Saville...

    Ebay posted. cream tank pink offwhite 30s summer suit. 39L 10% fl discount.

    Pretty sure it is 30s, tropical weight summer suit. Gorgeous. size 38 39 40, long. I offer a 10% discount to fl loungers. Just be suree and let me know if you win. Fits 38 39, and I think it may have been taken in, so could likely be taken out a little, although this would cost a bit for...

    Willis and Geiger fur felt safari slouch hat large Sold

    Sold. This is a cool safari or slouch type hat. Made for Willis and Geiger. They are an old school outfitter. I think they went out of business and the brand was revived. Don't really know. But I would assume that the hat was made by a third party company anyway. It is an olive color with...

    Would you marry Don Draper?

    Was watching mad men and got to thinking. There is no denying that many women find Don Draper attractive. firstly, I am sure the ladies around here appreciate the well dressed classic style. Secondly, he is obviously a good looking guy. And thirdly, he has a manly attitude that I am sure...

    Gollum using ebay.

    Just thought this was kind of funny. I got a message from a potential buyer on ebay. Not to make fun of someone using a second language, but this message made me laugh. Hi. Does it still have this court? Could you sell it if it has it?

    For Ebay sellers, tips, tricks, questions, rants, raves

    Well, i would hope we can keep the rants to a minimum. but I thought it would be nice to have a little corner booth for those of us that sell on Ebay and other auction sites for a living, for a hobby, or to get rid of extra stuff. used to deal in vintage full time, and now do real estate...

    How do you finance your vintage or vintage style clothing and hats?

    I recently saw a lounger mention he financed the clothing with the money he got from playing music. When I lived in SF, before dealing full time, I would work to pay the bills, and only buy clothing with money that came from buying and selling vintage. I did this just to curb the habit and...

    People who found love on line (telegraph line)

    recently I was put in mind of a piece I heard on the radio with a woman who wrote a book on the telegraph in the 1800s. How it changed life for west coast business men, etc. But she also mentioned that the operators had a lot of down time, and would chat with each other. often they became...

    Finding love on line (telegraph) vintage style.

    I see that the bartenders closed another thread on on line romance. Which I have no feelings about either way, but I was put in mind of a piece I heard on the radio with a woman who wrote a book on the telegraph in the 1800s. How it changed life for west coast business men, etc. But she...

    Favorite Vintage stuff that just hangs around.

    Vintage things that are still around. of course, buildings, as they are too expensive to replace. And of course, stuff in museums, collections, or being restored. But what about those vintage things that just seem to still be around by accident? Growing up around gas stations, tire shops...

    You might be an Atavist.

    If you are constantly having to tell people you are not Inspector Gadget, Indiana Jones, or Al Capone, If you really love women with black hair and bangs, high heels, bullet bras and fishnet or seamed stockings, but you are not a sub, If you tend bars in swanky retro bars or places that...

    Cooper Modern A2 goatskin 44 $75 shipped US Sold pending payment

    Nice Cooper in good condition. It is goatskin. Marked size 44. the only thing wrong with it is around the epaulets, there is some discoloration on the edges from wear. i think some polish should fix that. Other than that, seems to be in great shape including lining. I will have to post...
