Hi all,
Here's a link to my eBay auction of a beautiful custom Montecristi finished by Paul's Hat Works. I'm selling it to fund the finishing and blocking of a vintage Montecristi body at Optimo. It's in excellent condition. Thanks...
Hello Gents,
It's been a while since I visited the Lounge, but I found a doozy of a suit that might be of interest to you fine folks.
It's a dated 1939 three piece Harris Tweed with a lot of interesting period details - three patch pockets, bakelite buttons, skeleton lined, Lightning...
Hello, Gents,
It's been a while since I've visited the lounge, so I hope that I'm not ruffling any feathers with this eBay link.
I'm selling a dated 1929 three piece sack suit on eBay. It's a good size at around 38R and in great shape considering its almost 85 years. When I bought the suit...
Hello all,
A while ago, I was lucky enough to snag a badly posted sack suit on eBay. It's tagged "The Glasgow Tailor" and has a date of October 24, 1929 on its inside label. No union tag. The suit itself is a three piece, undarted, notch-lapeled navy sack suit. It's skeleton lined with no...

I was in a thrift store outside New York City today and found a few old two button suits. They were "southwick" brand - one was a three piece and the other looked like it might be missing a vest. Union labels on both date them to the mid-50's to early 60's.
OK, so here's the question...
Hello all,
There's a cobbler here in Taipei that has agreed to make me custom shoes from photos that I bring to him. Of course, the Florsheim catalog posted a month ago is a big help here. I'm thinking "The Embassy" looks pretty sweet. Unfortunately, I need a pair of tassled loafers for my...
Hello all,
My father is involved in organizing the US embassy Fourth of July party in Hamilton, Bermuda. I'll be flying in that morning. Of course I want to be nattily attired. I'm thinking Bermuda shorts, navy blazer, high dress socks, and loafers - the whole schlemiel. I have two...
