Recommend a Panama ...
Unless you got it in the last couple of days, you have a different hat. The natural hemp ones just got to JJ this week for the first time. -
Recommend a Panama ...
Actually, I've seen them, and they're the real deal. They're not the Viscose Milan that you usually see. -
Ask a question, get an answer
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I'll give it a shot. Does anyone know of a good supplier for leather sweatbands? I'm in NYC and I've tried Manny's and Manhatco, but neither carries them. Thanks! -
Vintage Style Reference in Vernacular Photographs
That's a Dorothea Lange photo. According to the post about here work at the Selvedge Yard the photo is from November 1936. “Drought refugee from Polk, Missouri. Awaiting the opening of orange picking season at Porterville, California.” The post is well worth checking out, as are the comments...- FRANKIE

Reproduction classic workwear
I've had one of these for a few months now and I like it enough that I bought another when I saw it on clearance today. I also picked up an incredibly soft striped button down. Levi's is really killing it lately for good looking affordable stuff.- FRANKIE

New York from Above - 1924
I'm not sure this is the right forum for this, but I couldn't figure out where else to put it. If you go to NYCityMap you can search for aerial views of NYC, then click on the camera icon and go back to the view from 1924. Enjoy!- FRANKIE

Spats are back - and I'm horrified!
Honestly, I kind of do love it. But I have a thing for beat up top hats and I quite like the mixing of modern and vintage that's going on right now. I guess I'm just not much of a purist.- FRANKIE

The Hollywood Waist-
I know these aren't a Hollywood waist, but having read through the thread this seems to be the place to discuss high-waisted pants in general. http://www.jpeterman.com/Mens-Pants/19th-Century-Tweed-Slacks-1 Anyway, I have a pair of these in gray and a pair in brown on the way, and I'm...- FRANKIE

Bicycles & suits
Those are some great outfits. On a side note, Stephen, who is that in your avatar? -
A word to men who wear high boots
I'm certainly not sure, but it could be to prevent ticks. And on a different note, I love the high boot look in this picture.- FRANKIE

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
That's an absolute beauty. The whole look is good too. -
Banana Republic
I actually got that double breasted vest a few days ago. I'd been looking for one for a while and couldn't find one for anything resembling a reasonable price. The BR one was still more expensive than I would have liked, but I'll be wearing it for a long time so I could deal with it. The fabric... -

Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?
I've just now been reading through this thread and I've been tempted to respond to a few posts, but I thought I'd catch up first. I can't wait to respond to this though. It drives me completely crazy how unwilling parents are now to trust their children to survive. Have you heard about the woman...- FRANKIE

Post New Hats Here!
Two hats showed up for me yesterday. I don't have a digital camera, so I'll just go with links. The first one, a Dobbs Golden Coach purchased from a member of this very forum. It's absolutely lovely. I may well be bringing this one on my trip to Europe in a few weeks. The second is a... -
Bowler color question
I don't know that I'd quite say homburgs were always "formal." Certainly, they can be worn in a far less formal environment than, say, black tie. I'd agree that they look strange with a t-shirt, Hawaiian or bowling shirt, but with a basic suit I think they look good. I personally wear mine with... -
Favorite bash or crease
Well, it looks like I'm not allowed to vote in the poll until I have more posts, but if I could I'd vote for the porkpie. Similarly to Bart, I prefer it dry, home made and a bit sloppy, like all my creases for that matter. -
Bowler color question
I haven't worn a bowler in a while, but back in high school I wore a brown one daily for a while. It was just a cheap wool, but I loved that hat, and the more beat up it got the more I loved it. I don't really know if I'd try to pull it off again, though. At the time I was very much a punk rock...
