"Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)
I am in Mad Men withdrawal. I found it a superb show and a welcome change from the onslaught on reality programming that seems to be multiplying exponentially. Sure they miss on some details and the some actors may be a little green, But so what? Don Draper is a coward, a hero, a liar, a decent...- Fredo

Got Tiki?
A few apartments ago I had an entire tiki bathroom. I got bambo and straw matting in Chinatown and did the wall. Added a shelf full of vintage tiki cups and vintage Martin Denny album covers, some tike x-mas lights and a shower curtain that was a South Seas image and bam.Tiki bathroom. Well...- Fredo

Late 50's early 60's
Funny the dress of my teenage years in the 1980s has already come back and is out again! Part of the 80s New Wave, Ska, and Skinhead styles was really nostaglia for the 50s and 60s - Ray-Ban Wayfarers, skinny ties, gingham Ben Sherman shirts, slim lapels, stingy brim lids, etc. So my love of... -

Why do I hate the 1970s so much?
I don't teally hate the 1970s that much as I was born during that decade. But if I were to point the finger of hate to a specific cultural aspect of style, I'd have to say it was the Bert Convey medium fro. The fro, paired with tanning bed skin, blue blockers, gold chain, and a wiiiiiide...- Fredo

New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
Grazie pal, I like it around here. Think I'll stay while. Hey Doran, I wish I were in your neck of the woods next week for that Presidio Social Club event. I love SF, used take biz trips out there back in 96-99 and killed a few personal days afterwards hitting Bimbos, the Hi-Ball, Orbit Room...- Fredo

Late 50's early 60's
Jet Age suits I love the late 50s early 60s (Jet Age) look and have all my suits tailored to that cut these days. That is, my tailor creates custom suits using the material (incl. some vintage fabric) I provide and a picture or design. Slim lapels, skinny tie, go with my collection of stingy... -

French Cuffs
Well raise my rent - I am wearing French Cuffs* right now! Even in this industry everyone else wears "business casual" which I detest. I wear French Cuff shirts almost every day to work (with or without a tie/jacket). As stated before in this thread it definitely classes up your attire. When I...- Fredo

What Are You Reading
Recently finished the Harry Starks trilogy Long Firm, He Kills Coppers, and Truecrime by British novelist Jake Arnott. A great gangster series in the spirit of Jame Ellroy but set in early to mid-1960s London. Great Mod suit descriptions!- Fredo

TIME says JFK Killed The Hat
Thought the JFK myth is the most popular, my research (based on stories told by old timers and other hat afficiandos) indicates that men's hats such as the Fedora began declining as a result of WWII. So many American young men went off to war and for five years they did not wear hats unless it... -

Matching hats and professions....
Never heard that one before ;). I hear you, but it just isn't worth it for me. Not in my business. Besides, I'd rather wear my hats on my time off, with a Michter's Rye Manhattan in reach, and my tie clip on smartly. -

Your Favorite Years? What time period do you follow?
I really like the culture, art, fashion, and music of the years 1945 through 1963. Ten years ago i was into the early late forties/fifties fashion (e.g., Eisenhower jackets, jump blues, spectators) but in the last five years I have gravitated toward the slim fitted suits and slim jim ties of the...- Fredo

Matching hats and professions....
I work in finance in NYC and despite the obvious conservative nature of the Street, no one dresses up in suits anymore except the I-Bankers,a few old timers, and interview candidates. God forbid a hat is worn, people think it is a prop. Alas, I wear my Fedoras during my off time, not that I am...
