    Wearing Suits to Lodge

    I know from being a longtime reader and that I am not the only Mason here at the lounge. It is from my fellow Masons and anyone else who wishes to chime in that I seek advice. I have moved down to the Florida panhandle from Michigan and have begun attending a lodge in Mobile, AL that I have...

    New Tuxedo

    Just purchased a new Tux. The jacket and trousers are from Jos A. Banks. After years of writing their buyers with links to the black tie guide they have finally made a peak lapel jacket available in their separates line. I really wanted to go with a waistcoat as I find cumberbund's visually...

    Funeral processions

    I recently had the occasion to attend a funeral. As is the custom we formed a procession from the church to the graveside. Hearse in front, and about 1/2 mile of cars with flags up and lights on. Several family members and I were disturbed by how many other drivers passed the procession flying...

    Hats and Funerals

    Recently I had the occasion to be a pall bearer at a funeral. I wore a charcoal grey suit topped by a black fedora. This brought up several questions of etiquette: 1. Hats can be worn in "common areas" such as lobbies and waiting rooms, what about in a church? Are hats removed upon crossing...

    Actually Used my Wind Trolley

    Really, through a small miscalculation on my part I ran out of gas on the freeway this morning. I was 1.5 miles from my exit in a relatively rural area of Michigan. I ducked over to a rural side street thet ran next to the freeway (I am not the kind of stupid that walks with my back to traffic...

    Air mail jacket from Henry Ford Museum

    Went to the Henry Ford Museum yesterday with my wife and son (at 2 he LOVED the giant trains, kept pushing the whistle button) However I encountered an airmail Coat that was really impressive. It appeared to be somewhat uniform as there were photos of more than one pilot wearing it. I was able...

    Anysuit.com

    I have been looking for an online tailor to make me a new dinner jacket and formal trousers. I was looking for a classic single button peak lapel with double besam pockets and no vents. I was hoping for a Grosgrain lapel but satin would do. I generally need to wear a tux 2-3 evenings a month so...

    Treasure trove of vintage tuxes

    So, Saturday I was helping move my masonic lodge to new quarters and in the attic of our old temple I found a rack of vintage Tuxedos. All of them were in great shape quite a few were custom. I would guess that most of them were of 60's-70's vintage although they could have been much older. Most...

    Total Score on a triple beaver Stetson

    Was helping my masonic lodge move to new quarters today and stubled across this. To quote Fezig from princess bride: "it fit so nice he said I could keep it." It only needs some very minor work to make it an outstanding addition to my hat collection. (Ok first hat of many) Beautiful Pinch...

    Classic Summer/ tropical style

    I just found out that the Navy will be sending me down to Pensicola, Florida to complete my medical training. After having spent the past 8 years in the frozen north, I now have the opportunity to expand my wardrobe. Wondering if any of you would like to take your mind off the cold (-10...

    Roaring 20's party

    This year's Scottish Rite Valentines day bash is a roaring 20's party. The invite says Attire: zoot suits and flapper dresses or other period attire. I cannot see purchasing a Zoot suit just for the occasion and I think that white tie and tails would be overkill (but period for evening wear) and...
