My In-Laws must have been in a generous mood, they have given me a $75 dollar gift card from Men's Warehouse as a birthday present.
So what do you suggest I purchase to help further along my vintage inspired wardrobe of suits and blazers with my new found riches?
A blazer? Dress shirt...
I've recently been wearing my black loafers a lot and began to wonder exactly when did the loafer come into existence.
Is there room in a vintage inspired wardrobe for the lowly black loafer.
Anyone have vintage pictures?
I've been enjoying everyone's pictures here in the "Hats" section and the "General Attire" section for quite some time.
Everyone always looks great.
I don't post as much as I would like to, because I don't have a
camera of my own and it's so darn hard to get my fourteen year old...
I'll be in Pittsburgh this Wednesday and Thursday. I'll have a few minutes to spare and I was wondering if anyone knows of good places to shop for hats or other places of interest.
Anyone want to meet for Lunch? Late night snack?
Thanks.
My wonderful daughter has treated me to a $20.00 gift certificate at
Amazon.
I would like to purchase a compilation of great films from the forties.
I would prefer a collection of film noir or gangster movies.
Of course, I would like to get a set that has as many movies
as possible.

Hello everyone.
I have a black suit made of roughly 50% silk and 50% linen.
Pleated slacks. SB, two button jacket with padded shoulders.
It was made and sold in the '80s.
I'm wondering if the silk/linen suit has any significance or history in vintage/retro wear.
It's almost always...
The other day on the phone, the wife muttered those words I long to hear, "A box came for you today." :p
It was a black Mallory from the Garrett collection:
Thanks again for such a great deal on a fantastic hat.
I know of few of you have taken advantage of Garrett's generosity...
I am going to Chicago in two weeks.
It just dawned on me that living in Florida,
I have no cold weather shoes.
I am looking for suggestions for some type
of boot/shoe that will keep my feet warm
and dry and look good with a tweed blazer,
jeans and cords and full length DB overcoat...
I'm looking at new 2 and 3 button suits and wondering if either one of them
is more retro in appearance than the other.
Was one more common than the other during the Golden Era?
Anyone?
I recently received a very nice PM from
Skwerl-hat who had seen here that I
had found a 6-7/8 hat pork-pie that fit me nicely.
He had a nice straw hat in that size
and was wondering if I would like to have it.
I responded right away and suggested a
trade. As luck would have it I...
I watched these three porkpies expire on ebay with no bids, and took a cue from one of the loungers here.
I contacted the seller and was able to purchase all three For $10USD including shipping. The idea was that at least one of them would be suitable for my 7 year old daughter.
I...
(Bartender, please move this if this it's the wrong room).
I'm in Naples, Florida next week to host an ARAMARK convention.
I'll be at the Ritz-Carlton.
Still looking for any Fedora Loungers who want to get together for dinner and drinks.
Also looking for any hat stores, antique...
I saw a similar thread to this one in the Powder Room and found the responses to be very interesting.
I wanted to start one here to see how many of you fellas have
spouses not into the retro-look thing.
My wife basically tolerates my hat fascination. She loves the new interest in suits...
Bartender: Not sure where to put this, please move if this is the wrong choice.
NEW YORK (CBS) ― Tin Pan Alley, once the home of Irving Berlin, George and Ira Gershwin and dozens of other great American songwriters, is up for sale.
Five buildings in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood are...
I'll be in Naples for four days, November 16-20th, hoping someone here can recommend a hat shop or vintage clothier nearby.
Any loungers up for a dinner-time meet and greet while I'm there?
