    Men's DRESS BOOTS to suit all budgets.

    Bayfield Yes, I thought the Bayfield was a very nice looking dress (?) boot until I seen the sole! What gives with the Gander Mountain hiking boot mini-lug looking sole? I thought a nice leather sole always complimented anything with the word "dress" in the description.

    How do you store your hats?

    Red Beard made mention about felt moths liking the darkness of a hat box. Having put my felts back into their boxes for the season, I was wondering if I souldn't drop a couple of moth balls in with them? I know they smell bad, but I did see a box of cedar smelling moth balls at the store...

    MTM costs for separate components

    Hello Marty, The reason I've picked out the Loro Piana is while I was at the retail clothier store, the salesman directed me towards bolts of material "ends" and also to small books containing what appeared to be 4x6 swatch samples of the said material broken down by 100's. This was because I...

    MTM costs for separate components

    I'm able to fill in some of the blanks to my question as I talked with a clothier and a custom tailor this evening. Per the clothier, MTM trousers start in the $500 per pair price range. This breaks down to 250-300 for labor and $100-200 per yd. for Loro Piana worsted wool. The custom...

    Calling all radios!

    I have a couple old radios, but my true love is sitting back on Friday nights with my wife and a glass of wine to listen to my 1915 Victrola. No Gameboy's allowed in our household!

    MTM costs for separate components

    From what I've gathered by reading the various forums, the cost range of a satisfactory MTM shirt would be in the price range of $100-200 dollars depending on the material. What have you found to be the average cost range for MTM trousers and vest(waistcoat)? Thank you!

    Circa 1900 - 1910?

    Thanks to everyone for your input. I was amused with the one link containing the costume pocket watches for 89.95! I still believe that my 1878 Waltham 21 jewels, gold filled case pocket watch with gold chain is worthy of a custom waistcoat. To get away from the direction of the "Wild West" look...

    Circa 1900 - 1910?

    I've decided to clean the closet of my old polyester leisure suits and follow a"wild hair", no, a dream that I've had for some time! As one who still shaves with a Dubl Duck Wonderedge straight razor (the best), collects gold railroad watches, and does large format b/w photography I believe...

    Vintage Eyeglasses

    vintage frames with glass lenses I'd like to offer some information on this subject as I've done my homework on this matter and feel I can offer some help.

    Fishtail cut on trousers

    Thank you for the replies. So then if I understand correctly in order to get a true "fishtail" cut of trousers one would have to go the "custom made" or "bespoke" route?

    Fishtail cut on trousers

    Hello to all, As a new member I'd like to say that I found this site through the Ask Andy forum and hope that it will answer some of my vintage questions. So far I've enjoyed what I've read. My question has to do with the wearing of braces which I understand goes hand in hand with a higher...
