    Where for art thou boater?

    Well I don't know about you guys but I think boaters are cool! Really cool and they're even cooler when they're found in unique weaves. Sadly most of the unique weaves made for this, already fragile hat, are even more fragile! Well I lucked out with this one. The band is cool, it doesn't look...

    Casablanca questions

    I have a question... If it is very clear that Rick Blaine cannot return to his own country would he still be in possession of a passport? Or would they have taken his passport from him? Also... a plot hole. If Rick Blaine, Major Strasser and Louie were all sitting at the table together...

    Shirt materials.

    DanielJones and I had a conversation developing in the "show us your suits" thread that was tempting the ever so popular and unforgivable sin: G-O-I-N-G--O-F-F--T-O-P-I-C :eek: So I decided to answer Dan's question (where can I find modern materials with 30's patterns?) in an appropriate...

    Cedar Chests, Closets... and all the other things that store our precious thread.

    So... I'm interested to know where your suits sleep at night? I used to keep them in my regular closet until I realized that I had a perfect bed-height cedar chest from the late 30's given to me by my grandmother. (I have only had it for five years and it finally dawned on me that I could...

    Union Tags. A question.

    This is mainly directed to Wild Root. I saw a post awhile back showing a website that illustrated pics of union tags. I need to find this website. I know that there is an NRA pre-36, then 36-39, 39-49 and 49-69. If someone remembers this website please post it here! Thanks in advance for...

    Gentlemen, with all this talk about tuxedos, and suits for $100 on ebay etc etc. I urge you to find the hole in the wall thrift shops or for the insecure amongst us...charity stores. These places are just waiting to be discovered by vintage guys like us. Let me give you an example...

    Popular Shirt Colors and patterns

    I have aquired a handful of shirts that appear to be from the 40s. Does anyone have color photos or illustrations of dress shirts from the 30's and 40's? I'll post pics soon. I'm not sure if they are accurate, they appear to be, I know the collar is right, but there are no labels...

    Educate me oh wisened Loungers

    Mainly directed to Matt and Wild Root since I see you guys mention them the most. Why do you like the pleated, yoked, and or belted backed suit? I must admit it's unique, and classy, but is there a practical reason? Comfort, fit maybe? Thanks in advance for your reply, Daniel Riser

    What to wear for the Queen Mary

    Hello Gentlemen, I am bringing a friend who is a costume designer. She specializes in period clothing. She is going in an original late 1930's gown and insisted that I follow suit (no pun intended). So to make a longer story...ahem shorter--she wants to make a suit for me specifically...
