The Fedora Lounge has its small but hardy share of 'vintage menswear gods'. (You know who you are!) But here's a 'god' who is not an active Lounger at all: Joe McGlynn. Joe lives in NYC with his vintage ladies' wear goddess (and wife), Heidi Rosenau. Take a look at what makes him...

Here's me at 16 in 1983, at a Christmas event somewhere. Was wearing a navy blue blazer, semi-spread collared shirt, wool 'shepherd's check' necktie, my grandfather's pocket handkerchief, a...

This is a high quality one, pick-stitching and all. Made for 'Saks Fifth Avenue', probably by 'H. Freeman & Company'. Not totally perfect, but a great color shade in a larger size...

Jump on this one. Mint condition, from the late '40s or very early '50s. Three-button, handsome grey herringbone! Good light-to-mid weight. My guesstimate is that it's about about size 44 R...
