Handkerchiefs and Pocket Squares
Depends on the suit, but seeing as I rarely go more formal than the black 2-piece, it'd be safe to say one-point. Easy to fold and surprisingly rare, actually. Plus that unlike with a two-point, nobody's going to think I'd be using a prefolded one. When going white tie as well as more formal...- Sepe

A word to men who wear high boots
Yep, or something between re-enacting and airsoft to be more precise. Era being around 1988 or so, at the very end of the Afghanistan War (and Soviet Union, for that matter). I'll use any excuse, inlcuding stupid boot rants, to post pictures of that.- Sepe

A word to men who wear high boots
I guess he doesn't like a particular Sasha who happens to wear boots and works for Diesel. As for knee-high boots, these aren't far from being knee-high, not too visible in the picture, but oh well, I guess I better start looking for girls on coke then. Picture, taken last summer, the...- Sepe

Are you a gentleman?
This is a difficult question, as has been discussed before. But at least older ladies call me a gentleman for some reason, especially this seems to happen when I make a leap between the doors of an elevator to keep them from closing and thus allow the ladies to go inside. Even if I wasn't using...- Sepe

Valentine's Day. What's your view?
Ah, Valentine's Day. Another syntetic celebration, provided by big companies in order to get your money. No, I do not celebrate it. If I'm in a relationship at the time, and the lady wants to celebrate it by, say, going to the movies or to a restaurant, fine. But the same is true for 364 other...- Sepe

The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard
Back to the topic, I get different comments a lot. Propably not as much for the hat but more for the fedora, some people make the strange connection to exhibitionists. You know, the nothing-but-a-trenchcoat-in-a-park type. I also remember doing some christmas shopping a few weeks back when... -
Hairstyles and Fedoras
Whether or not long hair and a hat matches depends on what kind of a hat, what kind of hair and also what you're looking for. If you're going for that rock-n-rollish style, a short-brimmed fedora or a newsboy cap could look terrific. At least the newsie cap, just look at Brian Johnson. Then... -
Winter Weather Hats?
Um, yeah, seems like whole Europe has been getting rain and warmth? We had one snowstorm in November, and some snow after it (which always melted away, thanks to the temperature keeping pretty well over 0C/32F). And lots of rain. Today we finally got a thin snow cover and the temperature is... -
Do you eat vintage?
Vegetarianism and vintage don't match too well, and I usually don't have the time (or can't be bothered) to eat properly and thus pick something that I can eat on the move. Of course there's the timeless stuff, especially now at christmas time, like carrot and potato casseroles. And rye...- Sepe

Smoking Back in the Day
As far as I've understood (might very well be wrong), many places where there is a complete ban on indoors smoking, the hookah bars are using the non-tobacco non-nicotine narghile for their pipes? Great, now it's just as unhealthy but tastes worse! As far as the smoking bans go, I wouldn't...- Sepe

For the smokers in the lounge
I sometimes do smoke menthols when my throat is really sore. L&M menthols (not light) are smokable in my opinion, but when it comes to the really chilly stuff... No thanks. They smell bad too. Usually I smoke Red Pall Malls, or sometimes Luckies (they do taste great but they're pretty pricey...- Sepe

Ever yearn for a vintage name?
My name, Seppo, comes from the Finnish National Epos Kalevala, and was pretty popular back in day, not that much anymore. One of the most popular boy's names in the 1940's, so yeah, I'd say it's pretty vintage. My second and third names are also quite much in the same fashion, don't see too...- Sepe

Smoking Back in the Day
Woah, and I thought I was young. I do remember that when I was a kid, there were some cigarette billboards and there certainly was ashtrays in restaurants (the classier ones had separate smoking and non-smoking sections though). Heck, I even remember my granpa lighting up pretty much anywhere...- Sepe

Your Hat Likes it Rough
Like with any other pieces of clothing: Some are for wear&tear, some for special/formal occasions. Basically I do keep my hats pretty carefully, after all, I do want to wear them in the future too. As for the rain, my opinion is that if there's a time when the fedora-trenchcoat combo looks... -
New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
Greetings! I'm a gymnasium (somewhat comparable to the US prep schools as far as Wikipedia goes) student from Finland, northeast Europe. I've always had a soft spot for the 30's-50's style, and I'm delighted to see I'm not that much of a freak after all. Heh, no offence, great to find people...- Sepe
