    Size 13D Allen Edmonds Spectators $75

    I have a gently used pair of McClain spectators (brown and cream) by Allen Edmonds. One small nick to the right shoe which can be easily repaired. Very tough to find, paid $300 new. If interested respond to mark@jmpattorneys.com and I can email pictures. Mark

    Ralph Lauren Purple Label Double Breasted Suits 48L

    Guys, I have three Ralph Lauren Purple Label suits that I would like to sell. These had an original retail of $4500 apiece, and are made by the venerable Italian St. Andrews house. These have been altered but have never been worn. They were originally 50L, but I had them altered to...

    Full Length Heavy Serge Navy Overcoats: WWII Vintage?

    This morning I happened upon a curious pair of vintage, double breasted overcoats. They are full length, very, very heavy heathered navy blue serge, with what appear to be WWII vintage buttons and naval sleeve insignias. They are in absolutely immaculate condition with no tears, moth holes...

    Balmoral Boots?

    I know this has been addressed before, but here it goes again. I am a size 13 US, and I cannot find any balmoral boots in my size. Ron Rider at Franco's in Richmond has gorgeous stuff, but not in my size. The Edward Green Shannon is just too expensive. Any recommendations?

    Vintage Suit Cache

    At a local vintage shop, I found a very nice cache of vintage suits, probably a half dozen or so. Three or four from the 40s, and about as many from the 1950s. Among them, a very rare 1940s grey plaid in 46L, with size 44 waist trousers. Also, a truly incredible Hickey Freeman from the 1940s...

    Off White 7 3/8 Fedora

    I posted pics of this last year when I found it at a local thrift. This is a gorgeous off white fedora, "Morrison Hats", which is likely a local shop with its house brand. Gorgeous fur fedora in perfect condition. One small discoloration on side of hat (size of a pin head) and one small...

    The Mysterious Montague: A Great Golden Era Read

    I just finished Leigh Montville's new biography of Mysterious Montague, a shadowy figure from 1930s Los Angeles who hustled Hollywood stars on the golf course, became a mythical figure, was tried for an armed robbery committed years earlier in the Adirondacks, and outlived his fame in rather...

    Vintage Adam Fedora 7 3/8

    Guys, I'm selling this gorgeous Adam fedora that I bought from Razzman last fall. It is a true 7 3/8, but the dimensions make it look a little small on my head. I paid $150.00, wore it twelve or so times in good weather without any reshaping, and will sell for $100.00. PM me if interested...

    A Light Grey Flannel Suit

    I'd love to have a light grey flannel suit. In a perfect world, I'd love to have one like they wore in teh 1940s, large in the legs, broad in the shoulder. On the internet, I've found one: a Samuelsohn that is $1,000.00. I'm not above paying that for a suit, but not for a Sammy, even though...

    Does this Look Like a Golden Era Shoe?

    Guys, I've been eyeing these up for a while. Is this the kind of thing you would have seen guys wearing back in the 1940s? Looks a little funky to my eye. Thanks! Mark http://www.benniesshoes.com/catalog/SHM/GR/8133-2579.html

    Re-Offering: 7 3/8 Federation

    Mates, my neighbor has backed out of the Federation deal, as it proved too small for him. Again, this is an Akubra Federation in charcoal. I have worn it probably fewer than ten times. It cost me $110 originally. If interested, make me an offer. I am out of town and somewhat incommunicado...

    Akubra Federation 7 3/8 (59 cm)

    Mates, I just can't make the Fed work on my head. I don't know what it is, but my head and the Fed just ain't meshing. It is a size 7 3/8 (59cm) in charcoal. If anyone is interested, I can send pics. I paid $110, and have only worn the hat three or four times. Price is negotiable...

    A Terrible Loss: My Art Fawcett Beauty

    My goodness, what a loss. Saturday night, someone broke into my car. Local teens, no doubt. Stole my Sirius radio and my Mercedes owners manual and leather case. I suppose the manual case would make a nice purse for some thug's girlfriend. I thought that was the extent of it. At...

    Black Suits?

    Mates, I have a bead on a gorgeous double breasted suit. I bought one just like it in medium grey. This one is black. What do you all think of black suits? What was their level of acceptance in the Golden Era for non-evening wear?

    Looking for New Grey Fedora Under $200.00

    Guys, I am looking to pick up a new fedora in a size 7 3/8. I am looking for a medium grey and a price at or under $200.00. I love vintage, but I am far too busy to try and keep up with the frantic pace of the Ebay auctions for larger vintage lids. I just end up getting frustrated. I just...

    Adams Fedora

    OK, who got the 7 3/8 Adams fedora from Ebay last night? I fell asleep before the close. Oh, and how much would you take to part with it! Mark

    My New Akubra Federation

    Well, after all of the fuss on this forum about Akubras I took the plunge. I am very pleased to have done so. I bought the Federation in dark grey. When it first arrived, I could not find a bash that I liked. The brim looked huge, and the crown was so high it looked like a witch's hat on...

    Another Morrison Fedora!

    Guys, this is really strange. I wrote recently regarding a vintage, and exquisitely made, white fedora made by "Morrison Hats". No one here had apparently heard of them. On the Internet I found a single reference to Morrison Hats: a single fedora among hundreds of hats in someone's vintage...

    My New "Morrison" Fedora
