    Toppers Unite

    Ever since watching the 1935 Movie Top Hat and getting Astaire-Addicted in 2017, I've wanted a Silk Plush Top Hat.

    White Tie to Prom Take Two

    Thank you very much indeed for your reply, your suggestions are completely correct. The shirt sleeve here is actually being held up with a garter, but the garter was far too high, the shirt is from Darcy Clothing and came in a very large size, so when fully extended the sleeves go down as far...

    White Tie to Prom Take Two

    (Firstly, the title says 'Take Two' because I understand there is already a discussion on wearing White Tie to prom and I'd love to have the insight of the experienced gentlemen here on the FedoraLounge). My school's Christmas Dance is in December 2021, 79 days Time (with the Prom following in...
