I have my eye on one of those What Price Glory A-1 jackets, but I'm unsure of the sizing. I have a 43' chest but can wear most 42 jackets. I was wondering if anyone has purchased one and how the fit is. They have the sizing numbers on the site, however without anothers opinion and/or pictures...
Last year, I found a Roundtree and York A-2 repro jacket at a thrift store. It's in great shape, but has a heavy stink of cigarettes. I took it to a local cleaners, however it came back no better. I imagine the smell is in the liner as well as the leather. Does anyone know of a place I can send...
Being more of a fan of the pre-war style of hats, I've always been inclined to the center crease bash on a crown. However, I have seen pre 1940's hat's with different crown styles like the tear drop or c style bash and I do like the look of it. I was curious as to when the C style started...
Hi.
I'm Jerry Swindle, owner of Forgotten Age walking sticks. I make custom walking sticks for gentlemen. I started making sticks due to the lack of original or desireable walking sticks on the market. I currently make three or four history-inspired designs but I also take special orders. If I...
Does anyone have a preferred source for hat boxes? The type used for decoration rarely fit my big headed hats. Is there a company that offers usable aftermarket hat boxes or am I stuck looking for vintage boxes? I do have a triple decker Dobbs box, but I rarely see men's hat boxes that are for...
I've noticed when looking at photos and films of the 1920's that many men were not wearing the standard fedora, but more like a homburg. Where the hats actually homburgs,snap brims or am I just missing something.
I recently got a fine camel hair sportcoat at Goodwill and I am now in love with all things camel hair. There maybe an existing thread about this but I'd love to see everyones camel hair sportcoats and overcoats. Show em' off.
What kind of pants do you put the 'Batchelor Buttons","Logger Buttons" on.
Do you just put them casuals or only khakis or do you even put them on the nice trousers you pair with a blazer. I have a pair of Goodwill bought Pery Ellis slacks that are super high waisted and I want to wear them with...
I just won a pair of modern Bass Monkstap split toe shoes and I got to wondering the history of the Monkstrap shoe. How far do the go back and all other such info? If you want to include pics of your Monkstraps go ahead. This will be my first pair and I really like the look and style of them.
I have noticed in period films(victorian and the like) that some men's suits have a slightly lighter trouser than the jacket. Has this been a common fashion on and off in time or was this frowned upon? I kind of like the look and was considering putting toghether some suits like this.
I know the answer to this question is somewhere on here but I have yet to find it,so here goes. What was the standard width of braces between the 20's and 50's? Was there a standard size or did they depend on the garment?Is there a company that sells the original size?
I order the 1 1/2 inch...
I know there have been several pages of posts about where to find high waisted trousers/khakis. I have started my personal journey for an all-around great pair of pants that I could wear with braces without singing soprano or pull them up to my belly button comfortably.
I went to get a pair of...
I've seen alot of square toed shoes recently,mainly from Stacy Adams. Where they in style before? I thought I read about them being fashionable in the 20's. Is this so?

I recently had suspender buttons put on some suit pants that I bought at Goodwill. They work great but I notice some trousers that I own seem like they would crush my "goods" if they were worn with braces. Are there a certain type of pants that aren't made for suspenders or are they all just...
Dillards is now selling crushable Stetsons that have more of a vintage appearance. The crowns are tall and almost straight and the brimsare about 2 1/2 inches. They are pretty good for crushables but some don't hold creases very well. They come in brown and black. I recommend everybody check...
I just bought a mint/near mint beaver brown fedora. It's a Churchill and comes with a damaged box. It's a 7 1/8 but I'm a 7 1/2 .I'm willing to trade someone a grey or brown vintage fedora with a 2 1/4 to 1/2 inch brim in near mint or mint condition. It does'nt have to come with the box. I have...
