    And here I figured you were mad at me for starting that thread about boxers... glad to see the return to normalcy... well, here anyways. As for the rest of the word... Singed, one of the shy ones / slow to post guys, Matt, the 1/2 Maltese Falcon!

    Trufit& hILL ? CLASS ACT/ACT CLASSY

    It's nice to see another Detroit area guy on the forum! I'm assuming you're either from Hamtramck, or Poletown off of Michigan Avenue? My Dad's mother's side of the family is Polish, and that's where most of the family was located, prior to the riots. I've still got a couple relatives hanging in...

    Two tone shoes

    Nice shoes! I was just going to ask if I really did see the word "Malta" in that shoe. My maternal grandparents both immigrated from Malta, aka "The Old Country"...

    Mack the Knife...

    I didn't post this so much for the story as for Abramoff's style... between the charges and appearance, he almost reminds me of a 1930s gangster going down. Heck, take out the woman in that awful pansuit, and the pretty neat photo...

    Boxers! Boxers!

    of all the topics... Go figure... Of all the things that could be so fiercely debated, it had to come down to underwear? I guess I won't be starting that thread on sock height preference. I can only imagine the heated discussion between ankle socks wearers and the guys who like knee highs...

    The modern work ethic . . .

    McDonalds... I shudder at the sound of the word. I spent three years at a local McDonalds, working summers and every day after school. And by God I hated it. I tried to make the best of the situation, and ended up making friends with many of the regular customers, who all complimented me on my...

    The Hollywood Waist-

    Zach R. - thanks for the revival of this thread! Somehow I totally missed it when looking through the threads posted before my humble August 2005 arrival. Although I prefer to buy American whenever possible, I don't think I'm going to find any new and authentic highwaisted pants unless I have...

    Men's Underwear Basics: Underwear, Undershirts

    Geezaloo! Geezaloo! Who would of thought that such a well meaning thread would have sparked such a debate! This thread lit up faster than a Lucky Strike being lit by a Ronson! Although, I for one cannot understand how a man can wear a razor sharp double breasted pinstripe suit, a fine...

    "Sanfordized" and other vintage terms...

    so it's s-a-n-f-o-r-i-z-e-d Thanks for the info Nick! And for providing the accurate spelling of the word sanforized. (Perhaps I'd of known how to spell the word had my eyes not been immediately averted to the wonderful clothing on each page!) I also noticed the 1% guarantee throughout the...

    "Sanfordized" and other vintage terms...

    Hey Folks, Wow am I excited! :) I just received a shipment of three 1940s and one 1950s Montgomery Ward Catalogs. These are my first vintage catalogs, and I can't believe just how awesome they are. At some point, when I've the time and money, I will be visiting the best tailor I can find...

    Men's Underwear Basics: Underwear, Undershirts

    I've owned Old Navy boxers in the past. They seemed to be of decent construction, and just fine as far as comfort. However, they started to look more worn than I would of liked after only a few washes, and the material hasn't held up too well either. I've got several small holes in unexpected...

    Restoration is always an option... Root, are you familar with this site: http://www.vintagefans.com/ ? If not, be sure to take a look some time. If it's in your budget, perhaps you might consider sending your unit in for a restoration, at least mechanical if not cosmetic. At the very least...

    Gas Ration Stickers

    I'd be interested in knowing that myself. I've searched the internet and eBay in the past, and haven't been able to find any. Every once in a while I see one on a classic at the shows, but they are usually original. I've also seen original bumper stickers regarding FDR and Eisenhower, spelled IKE.

    From the site: www.cityboxers.com Three paneled design: This primarily describes the way the fabric is cut in order to create the boxer short. Most boxer shorts are 4-panel shorts. This means that there are four panels of fabric used in the contruction of the boxer short (two in the rear and...

    American Made Breifs? Geezaloo... I haven't worn briefs regularly in years. After the ones I had became worn out and outgrown, I replaced them with boxers, and I've stuck with boxers since. That was back in high school, when no guy who didn't want to get a complementary wedgie wore briefs. I...

    Vintage Buttons...?

    Heya Folks, I finally got around to borrowing a digital camera and taking some photos of the coat and button. Naturally, only one photo came out good. The button I need measures 1" around. I could also use an extra or two in the same design, at .75" if they are available in case I happen to...

    Men's Underwear Basics: Underwear, Undershirts

    Boxers or Briefs Gentlemen? (Boys Only) Good Morning Gentlemen, One of the things I haven't heard much about or seen any threads on are boxers. However, as my supply of boxers, which were purchased all at once several years ago, finds itself to now be rather worn, I'm looking at replacements...

    Vintage Buttons...?

    Seeing as how it was pouring rain here in Michigan the other day, I decided to wear my tried and true 1940's Hughes and Hatcher raincoat. Somewhere in the process of racing across the college parking lot in the rain, and manuvering my school books between the buttons of my coat, I lost a button...

    Calling All Michiganders...!

    Hey friend, glad to meet you! I've never been to Henry the Hatter's before, although that's where my grandfather, age 88, used to purchase his hats. I believe he knew old Henry himself. As an architecture buff, I really like the storefront too, though it doesn't compare to the old store that...
