    Getting a 40s suit (or two) tailor made

    Do you own the Cotton Club suit? If so, what pair of trousers did you select to go with it? I really like that suit - I am considering ordering it. I need to go to the tailor tomorrow to have a tweed jacket altered and I will ask him to take all of my measurements. Thanks, Barry

    NYC Trip

    I'm going to Manhattan in a few weeks to visit my sister. I plan on checking out a number of stores including JJ Hat Center. I would also like to check out some vintage clothing stores. I play to hit Jae Jarrell to see what's there. Anyone have any other suggestions? I'm interested in hats...

    The Big Christmas Can of Worms

    Have you heard the cover of "I'll go down swinging" she did with Los Straightjackets? Wow! Barry

    Mr. Lackawanna

    The whole thing is about 16 inches tall. The figure is about 14 inches tall and he's standing on a little platform with some wording on it. The paint has faded over the years though. I'll post a better picture tomorrow night. I wish I had some pictures of the inside of the store around the...

    Mr. Lackawanna

    I was hoping to find out more information about the manufacturer - I saw an ad on e-bay for Saxon slacks from Lackawanna NY but it was from the 60s. It would be cool to have more info about it. All I know is a salesman sent it down - it's just a cool little advertisement/display. Also just...

    Mr. Lackawanna

    Mr. Lackawanna (our nickname for this guy) stood in my grandmother and grandfather's "working man's" clothing store for years and years. The store was open from sometime in the 40s to the 80s. When I was about 5 or 6 and went to visit I'd run all over the store with him. He's made from rubber...

    Observations in the lounge

    Twitch, Been there myself (at age 26). It certainly makes my newfound interest in pipes pretty stupid... One of the most helpful things I found during my treatment was to stay focused on something that was important to me. I found a great diversion from the treatment and it really...

    Hello from a new member

    Thank you all for the welcomes and beers :). Once the hat arrives I will post some pictures of it, maybe pre and post molding shots. This will be my first Fedora (I usually wear ivy or driver caps, as I mentioned) and "bashing/molding" it seems like it will be a little bit intimidating - I...

    Hello from a new member

    I decided on the Highwayman in Heavy Front Quarter Horsehide (Black). The reason I picked black is because I had an old brown leather jacket that i retired a while back - I wanted something for a change. Plus, I needed a new jacket anyways and I decided that since I haven't spent that much on...

    Pipes

    Ok, so I just wanted to show off a pipe, :p . It's a Colm Magner. I bought it on sale. I haven't even smoked it yet. This pipe is called the "wide ball." I really like it. Can't wait to break it in. Barry

    Out of the Humidor: Weekly Cigar Corner: Current Discussion: General Smoking 01/26/07

    Another occasional pipe smoke here. The two favorites of my collection are a Becker (which I managed to mess up recently) :cry: and a Colm Magner. I might add a Dunhill this weekend. I'm usually partial to non-aromatics. I do like a blend that my local tobacconist has, it's a mix of...

    The "Indy" Comebacks...

    Not an Indy comment exactly but along the same lines. I went into a bar and have had different reactions to my caps. Once the bartender remarked that I looked like I stepped out of a Graham Greene novel...I was wearing a tweed cap and jacket at the time (that I take as a compliment). I...

    Hello from a new member

    Just wanted to say hello. I joined this week. I've been into caps (ivy, driver - not baseball) for a few years now. I decided to give a Fedora a shot and ordered a Federation. It should arrive either Friday or Monday. I can't wait. I was also thinking about purchasing a leather jacket for...
