I must admit I am fan of men dressed in collegiate fashion from the 20s and 30s (a la Harold Lloyd in The Freshman, for example). Knitted ties, shawl collared- and letter sweaters, oh my! As an ebay seller I have discovered early sweaters and jerseys are very covetable (seems like sports bars...
I suppose I could have posted about Sarah Slean in the thread about vintage-inspired videos, but since she has at least three vids that fit into the category, I thought perhaps this Canadian songstress deserved her own thread. Love her!!

After noticing a lack of blogs about the subject of vintage menswear and modern men into vintage fashion, I have decided to start a weekly series highlighting dapper vintage-loving chaps. I posted the first one today over at my blog...
I was wondering what people think of Prada's Spring/Summer 2012 collection, what with its 1950s rockabilly hot rod inspired clothes, shoes, and handbags?
Since finding a one-piece 30s culotte dress, I've been rather obsessed with 'em. The one I had was just that annoying bit too small to keep and wear comfortably, but boy was it cute! Anyone else own any 30s culottes or culotte-dresses?
Any other vintage lovers/collectors entranced by the short-lived but oh-so-colourful 1930s beach pyjama (or pajama) craze? I'd love to see photos of those in your collection or ebay/etsy favourites or your vintage image cache!! Below is a gingham pair that I ended up letting go of last year....
I'm only a very novice knitter and crocheter, but I've become an avid collector of vintage knitted and crocheted garments from the 1920s and 30s. I'm starting this thread with the aim of seeing if there are other collectors out there who might like to share images of the beauties in their...
Noticed Ralph Lauren has women walking the catwalk in bowler hats
(along with top hats, other accoutrements borrowed from vintage menswear).
A character in the movie Easy Virtue is shown donning similar headwear.
What's the history on women in relation to bowlers? As for the present day...
I got the WB's Jean Harlow 100th Anniversary DVD boxset as a prezzie for Christmas and have to say it is fantastic. Stellar quality (three have been recently remastered) and wonderful selection of her films--none of which have previously been released on DVD...
While reviews of W.E., the Madonna-directed film about Edward "the Abdicator," and Wallis Simpson, have been far from laudatory, the 30s clotheshorse in me needs to see those costumes. Of course, one could also ogle the clothes via a recent photospread in Vanity Fair. Have a peek...
Wondering if anyone has purchased the book, Myrna Loy: The Only Good Girl in Hollywood, and if so, wondering if it is worth purchasing? I'm a Loy lover, and I confess that the cover is mesmerising me, but I want to know whether the contents of this tome ultimately make it a must-have or not...
Much to the chagrin of my purist pals, I am a fan of youtubage that pairs vintage film with modern music. I think this is the effect of the Fred Astaire dance school experience (that is, I guess I took a lot of ballroom dance classes that involved being forced to foxtrot & waltz to contemporary...
Just got word that a 6-part series about Canadian women munitions factory workers during WWII called "Bomb Girls" is slated to drop on January 4th.
Stylistically, some of the the costume stills (like the second image) suggest a rather candy-coloured slick aesthetic reminiscent of Christina...
