    Allen Edmonds Big Sky

    I found a pair of these pretty well discounted, and I like these shoes for reasons I cannot adequately explain, but I've never owned a pair of mocs and I'm not even sure if I would wear them enough to justify the purchase. I'm thinking they'd be good for the occasional garden party...

    How much for a boater? Success! And pictures.

    Hey gents. I found a boater that actually fit me today, and since it has no price tag I get to make them an offer. How much does your average vintage boater go for? There doesn't seem to be anything special about it; it's a Resistol, in good shape with no holes or breaks that I could find, and...

    Building my Magnoli boots; an open discussion.

    Happy November, everybody. As I'm tired of buying cheap shoes and then quickly destroying them, I've decided to order a pair of Magnoli's "Adventure Boots." However, I have not decided the exact specifications. I suppose the normal procedure would be to put my questions to Mr. Magnoli...

    Help with Houndstooth?

    The UCSC costume department was having an overstock sale, and I picked up this coat for a very decent price. The only problem is, I have no idea what pants, shirt, or vest with which I can wear it. The white in the photos is more of a cream in real life. Any help is appreciated.

    Cheers to Bookster (tweed sample photos)

    I've recently been on a spree of ordering tweed samples from Bookster, and I can't describe how helpful they have been. One can order four samples at a time free of charge and they even include a few samples of satin lining cloth for comparison. For future reference and the general diffusion of...

    Early 60s Shark Skin?

    Hello all. I bought this coat at a thrift store yesterday on the suspicion that it was shark skin. However, I have never seen this material in person so I would like your input. The coat (I think I payed extra for the wrinkles): In direct sunlight: Indoors: I believe this is the tailor's...

    Resistol Presents: Attack of the Wide Ribbon.

    I bought this Friday after finding that it was well priced and actually fit my head. From the print on the inside of the liner, it's a Resistol "Flatop" originally sold by an outfit called Hastings in California. The "Beaver Twenty" and "Abruzzi" marks have my confused. I assume...

    Good tailor in Santa Barbara.

    Good afternoon everybody. I've decided to get some coats and pants tailored while I'm in Santa Barbara, but I have no knowldege of the tailors here besides the place my parents used to take their dry cleaning so I'm somewhat in the dark. Any experience would help greatly, thanks.

    Need help with suit reference.

    Found two great suits the other day; both were three piece and fit well, but I cannot find any information on the manufacturers and I'd like to know if they are worth the price. The first suit's tag says "Louart California Clothes" on the right inside pocket, and nothing else. The second suit's...

    Automobile racing.

    Does anybody else here race? My family has been participating in amateur time trials for about ten years now; we race with the Alfa Romeo Club of Southern California. I bet there are a few vintage racers here.

    Need help for vintage set design.

    Hello folks. I'm designing a set for a play that takes place in late 1800s Chicago, but I'm having trouble finding references for interior design and furniture. The characters are wealthy captains of industry; so I want the sets to reflect that. Is there an image database or any specific books I...

    Fossil collections?

    Before the advent of modern paleontology it was not uncommon for wealthy men with an interest in nature to have a fossil collection alongside their stuffed heads. Since little was known about the origin of the fossils, many were regarded as novelties to be displayed for aesthetic purposes. Some...

    Flashlights?

    Anybody else carry a flashlight (or two) with them? I keep one on my keychain and one in coat pocket regularly. I know some here carry pocket knives, but what about torches?
