    How did it fade?

    You're right about that. With jeans and a t-shirt, you can just take it off and fling it, and your done. . . It won't look any worse the next morning when you pick it up off the floor either.

    How did it fade?

    I think it all spawns from laziness. Seriously, who in their right mind (from a lazy point of view) would want to decide on colors, put on a three-piece suit, tie a tie, button on suspenders, tie their shoes, shave their face, attach cufflinks and collar bar, and comb their hair when all...

    Aftershave : That nostalgic true masculine smell!

    Wow. That is a lot of different fragrances (burnt rubber?). I'm very curious about how that would actually smell!

    Mad dog. Ruff! Ruff!

    Those are pretty interesting. I like them, though I don't have anything that I'd wear them with.

    Chins Up, Gentleman. Suits in NYT.

    That is an interesting observation. Over here where I live, if you so much as put on a tie and buttoned shirt (even if it is still with jeans! - not that I've ever done that :p ) everyone is asking you what the occasion is. If you dress up in a full suit for work, church, or some other event...

    Did YOU buy these shoes?

    I've seen some very nice spectators on ebay. The only problem I've had is that they are either too big (supposedly I'm 8.5C), or they cost more than a nice suit. I'm still looking for some nice black/white wingtips.

    I only dial out on a cell... the home phone is for incoming calls only. Perfect for the cumbersome old rotary dial ;)

    Fedora Lounge Pint Glass

    That would be great. When's that scheduled to arrive? In the meantime, I'll be sending my email for my pint glasses and matchbooks soon.

    Collars

    These particular ones don't make my collar any tighter, but thankfully, they DO prevent the collar from popping out over the vest - without them, the collar lines up just right with the vest where the points try to come out over it. Is it a common problem for the collar points to pop out over...

    Let's See Your Vintage Inspired Office!

    I have to get one of these for my office. A 1939 Western Electric 302 Rotary Dial Phone, or something similar from that time period. Does anyone have one that is operational? How does it sound? Here it is on Ebay

    Collars

    Thanks for the pics and links Marc. On the way home from lunch today, I stumbled on one of the few local antique shops that I've never been in, so I went in and found these. Since I didn't see your pictures yet, I think I may have just lucked out, since no skill or knowledge went into...

    Collars

    Great information! It's just what I was looking for. Thanks to BellyTank for directing me to this thread. I have a couple questions: Do you have any pictures of the "collar pins" vs the "collar bars" of these eras? That way I will be able to make the distinction myself. Do you have any...

    Excellent! Just what I was looking for. Thank you.

    Tie Bar

    Hello everyone, Somewhere else in the lounge I read a recent thread with some pictures of a shirt and tie equipped with a tie bar. Now, I can't seem to find that post to reference back to. Anyway, when did tie bars come into use? Where they around in the 40s? On a similar note, what...

    Cufflinks and Shirt Studs.

    Thanks for the info. I've always liked the look, but didnt want to appear too formal. Its good to know what other people think.

    Cufflinks and Shirt Studs.

    Cufflinks and studs In the 1940s, were cufflinks in use for daywear, or were they generally reserved for use with tuxedos? How about studs in lieu of the buttons on the shirt front? thanks!
