My daughter is getting married this October, it's a country wedding in the front range of the Rocky Mountains. Because it's a country wedding I've decided to wear a tweed suit. This is what I've put together so far.
The suit is a shetland tweed from Walker Slater, the yellow tab collar shirt...
Hello, I'm looking for a Grey or Black homburg to wear to my daughters wedding next year. I'm looking at Ebay and I'm amazed at the prices they're asking. I've been out of the hat market for a couple of years and BAM, homburgs are the new Whippets!. They used to be a dime a dozen.
Anyway, I...
I'm looking for a reputable maker for a NEW tweed three piece suit. Of course it must be classically styled. I would look for vintage but due to my proportions it's nearly impossible to find a complete suit that fits or that wouldn't need to be totally re-constructed. I found this maker...
This Christmas day I'm taking the family to see "White Christmas" on stage. I plan on wearing a Vintage Pendleton dinner jacket which is red with black velvet shaw lapels and cuffs with tuxedo pants and black bow tie, and patent leather shoes.
A fedora seems too casual. I don't own a...
I'm going to attend a Black tie event this Saturday evening and would like to wear my off-white dinner jacket in lieu of my black tuxedo jacket. Is it too early in the year? I live in Southern California so it's getting warm now.
Also, I know black patent leather shoes are the norm, what...

It's been months since I have anything interesting to post here, but I finally have something somewhat interesting.
A couple of months ago, I had it in my mind I needed a Fez. Not just any run of the mill costume Fezzes, I wanted a real one. Turns out, a real authentic Fez is pretty rare here...
I have one hat in particular that is very unique, one I haven't seen before. This got me wondering who else here has a once in a lifetime never before seen hat? I have a relatively small collection compared to a lot you guys here, so I know I can't be the only one.
Here is mine,

I was visiting the local tobacco shop to pick up a pipe/tobacco pouch for my golf bag when I spied a nice looking Dunhill pipe in the estate section.
I asked to have a look at it and it appeared not to have been smoked too much and had a very nice grain to it. They were asking $200.00 for it...
Another beauty from the 1950's.
The sweatband is a bit dry and the stitching is coming loose, other than that it's in great shape. $65.00 Shipped anywhere in the USA
This looks like it's from around the mid 1950's it a nice fawn color.
It's similar to a Playboy but with the binding around the rim.

I've made a few mistakes buying vintage clothes that were pretty costly.
I thought if there were a place here in the lounge that they could be shared, we could pool them together and learn from them, thus saving money and heartbreak in the future.
In order for this to work, please use the...
I just picked this up on ebay. I usually don't "buy it now" but I figured I would never find a coat made like this for under $200.00.
I would post the pictures but I can't cut and paste them.
Marc, I would love to hear from you on this because you are the Oviatt's Historian.
I would...
