    D. DeBartolo and Co. research

    Albert Karoll of Richard Bennett Custom Tailors purchased D. DeBartolo Custom Tailors. He acquired the patterns as well as most of the staff. He may have photos, or people who worked for D. DeBartolo may have photos. Wouldn't hurt to call and ask, or stop in and tell them who you are.

    Johnston & Murphy discontinue refurbishing shoes.

    We live in a disposable world now. As a result, J&M will no longer be offering shoe refurbishment. I have a number of their shoes, older, quality models and will now have to source a cobbler. I was in their store last weekend to pick up some shoe trees and laces and the sales rep said he was...

    Ebay...price gouging fees.

    Ebay charges a flat 10% of the total cost (item + shipping). Then if you ship through ebay you get a 10% discount on shipping. Paypal then charges 2.9% plus a $.30 per transaction fee. They're taking about $.13 per dollar. Not a bad deal, you just have to be savvy in regards to shipping costs.

    Stafford JC Penney Brand ?

    Been wearing them for years. I have two of their suits, a number of vests, and just picked up a topcoat a few days ago. Their suits fit me well off the rack and have only required the sleeves to be shortened an inch. I purchased a tuxedo from Penny's about three years ago, although that was a...

    Wearing white tie to a black tie event?

    It would still look better than most people showing up in sloppy, ill fitting suits, rented tuxedos, and the many other incorrect interpretations of "Black Tie".

    Wearing used shoes?

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    As much as it pains me to say it...you are correct sir. Add to that the hipster craze that pretty much cleaned out vintage clothing in all the shops in my AO.

    Source for vintage topcoats?

    I've scoured ebay and have googled till my eyes bled. Does anyone know of a source for vintage inspired topcoats? Wool, Herringbone etc? I found a nice Chesterfield type topcoat yesterday at of all places...JC Penny. I'd really like a black/grey herringbone as well. Been lurking here for...
