Many of these don't fit me as well as they used to and have been taking up space around the house, so I'm offering them here. The tagged sizes fit true to size. Shipping is dependent on location, payment through Paypal.
Also, all crown measurements are for open crowns.

Due to some poor judgement on my part, I took a 30's tuxedo to a dry cleaner's and the lapels were destroyed. I found this website, thanks to a fellow Lounger, however I don't know which material would suit it the best. The original lapels were a very soft satin silk (not grosgrain) and also not...
Hi,
Due to some very poor judgement on my part, the silk lapels on a 30's tuxedo of mine were damaged. My only solution is to search for a tailor or clothier who can hopefully re-line the lapels with new silk. Beyond possible complications such as whether this is even possible, I am looking for...
I'm selling these 'Strawfut' model shoes, made by Allen Edmonds. Size 9D.
External measurements: Length 12 1/8"
Widest across: 4 1/2"
Narrowest across: 2 3/4"
They have been worn for one season (last summer), and a handful of days this summer. Exposed to rain on 3, maybe 4...
I've been investigating into several other avenues for this, but I guess it can't hurt to put up a general ad as well... I'm looking for some components of a vintage morning wear outfit for an upcoming event.
I need a cutaway coat, and the striped trousers. I wear a size 40R in jackets and a...
Whoever nabbed that bullfighter tie that Gene was selling... If you want to turn a quick buck on it, let me know what you might want. I belong to a Spanish language club on campus so this sorta stuff appeals to me. If you're interested, shoot me a PM. :^)
Cheers,
Does anyone have an old camera that runs on 120 film? I'm thinking like an early 1900's Brownie, in good working condition. It doesn't have to be anything special, just something cheap that works well and can take some nice period-style shots. I have a few old brownies that use 116, but I...
I'm looking for a vintage floor microphone, one that looks like the ones in The King's Speech.
It doesn't have to rare or special, or even functional, I want to use it as a prop in a photo. I also don't know how heavy these things are to ship, or if they come apart in sections? Let me...
I recently won in a (non-Ebay) auction, an early 20th century Edison Co. disc phonograph player. The link to the auction is here. Is anyone knowledgeable in these things? What type of needles do I need? How do I work it? And I think that it only takes Edison discs, but what series does it...
After much searching, and deliberation as to whether I really should be spending this money; I have decided to post an ad for a pair of cream/ivory gabardine trousers. Wool, or a heavy linen. I wear about a 33 waist, and a 33 inseam (with room for cuffs). I'd like them to be 50's or earlier...
For your consideration is a 1920's Borsalino fu Lazzaro, size 7 1/8. It's a milk white felt, with a black ribbon. The sweatband is original. When I purchased it, the felt was extremely dusty, to the point that it coated the fingers with powder. After over an hour of extensive brushing, most...
I know there's a few threads on movie quotes that are doing well in the movie forum, but I think a thread for general quotations would also be good.
One of my favorites:
"Every civilization must contend with an unconscious force which can block, betray, or countermand almost any conscious...
The idea for this thread has been floating around in my head for a while now. Inspired by the photography greats of the Lounge; D'Guy, Lefty, and now Alan, to name only a few; I think this would be a good resource for all of us less handy with a camera. Hopefully, here we could share tips for...
I have recently gotten my hands on some vintage wool... About 3 1/2 yards of it. I have plans to make it into a waistcoat and some trousers, so now comes the time for me to start some serious research. Please bear with me as I stumble through this, as my suiting terminology is rudimentary at...
This thread will become my depository for items I need to sell off over the next couple of weeks. I can't guarantee how often I'll be posting additions to this page, but it's a few of the items I don't have the budget or room to keep any longer.
I'm an active hat collector, a vintage clothing enthusiast, a hobby musician, and at heart I'm a shutterbug (without a good camera, the knowledge, or the time)... But I also am an amateur origamist.
I mainly fold from books, but have also occasionally dabbled in designing original models...
Brooks Brothers is having their semi-annual sale, and there's two pairs of white wingtips on major clearance. They remind me of some of those really nice 30's perforated summer shoes. Just in case anyone's interested.

Hopefully a more accurate, precise, and updated version of my original poll.
At the suggestion of DoA in the general question thread.
You will notice that there are more precise categories for the dates.
Please vote based on which era you quantitatively have the most of, not necessarily your...
