    Gym bag in "A Summer Man"?

    Was watching Mad Men, "A Summer Man" (S4E8), and I noticed the leather gym bag Don was carrying at the beginning of the episode in green - saw a similar model from RL in canvas and brown leather they were handing out with last years colognes, but this one really got to me. I was wondering if...

    Beach Boys Look

    Hey, I'm looking for some clothes like the beach boys wore, you know like skinny khakis and short-sleeved button-down striped or patterned shirts. The skinny khakis are hard to find and I can't find the brightly-colored striped shirt. Anyone know where to get the most accurate stuff for that...

    Lapels

    I don't know how wide lapels were from the 20s-50s. I thought from the late twenties to mid fifties wide lapels were de regueur, but in a lot of thirties movies (particularly "Bringing up Baby", where Cary Grant wears pretty reasonable, medium lapels with a slim cut suit) I see pretty standard...

    Tie sizes throughout the decades

    I've been wondering, what were the widths of tie from the twenties to sixties? I know the sixties were about 1.5-2 inches wide, but I don't know exactly for the other decades. I see thirties-forties ties wide sometimes then medium, so I'm not so sure. Anyone know the widths?

    Alcohol as a hair tonic?

    I was thinking, could pure rubbing alcohol be used as a hair tonic? I've read the main ingredient in tonic is alcohol, and my pomades, even RC hasn't given my hair a shine but only a buffered, dry greasy look. So maybe alcohol could give it an exaggerated shine?

    Mad Men Season 2 Episode 11

    I'd like to know what song or type of music they were playing in S2, E11 "The Jet Set" on Mad Men when Don is by the pool in LA in the first pool scene. I haven't finished the episode, but it doesn't say the music credited at the end ever. I know it was some type of easy listening, but it was...

    Detachable collared dress shirts

    Any recommendations for a clothier that provides detachable collars and detachable collar-compatible dress shirts, particularly for studs? Also, if you're lucky, maybe detachable cuffs and placket? I've looked around, and can't seem to find anything. Maybe some of you have got...

    Hat Ribbons

    Hello, just a simple question. It seems it is normal to change your hat ribbon for what suits what you're wearing, your mood, etc. When you put one on your hat, do you have to secure it on the crown in a special way, or do you purchase a ribbon made for a specific hat size so it is tight enough...

    Red Seersucker Suit

    I've been looking around trying to find an affordable (maximum $200) Red and White Striped Seersucker suit. I think that combination looks very nice together and is an authentic 1920s look. However it's been hard to find one the type I want and two my size, which would be maximum a Men's 38. I'm...
