    A question about vintage (/repro) denim...

    Hey all! Vintage denim is certainly something I’ve seen from afar but never really got into until potentially just now. Here is the reason I’m interested and wanted to ask you guys about it: I have for years and years and years tried to find jeans that fit the way I want. I’m basically looking...

    Fitted T Shirts

    Dude. Uniqlo. Now that I see your build and what you’re after- Uniqlo size small will do you right. I’m 5’10”, 160 lbs, 29” waist. You’ll see! :)

    Fitted T Shirts

    The closest ones to the ones I bought a year and a half ago are the two Men’s Supima Cotton Crew Neck in the top left corner. I have no idea why they have two separate SKUs for that as they look identical to me, and identical to the ones I got. I really really really can’t recommend enough going...

    Fitted T Shirts

    If you’re going off of the pictures on their site, don’t: they don’t represent the actual fit, especially if you get them on the smaller side. See my pic wearing one. The sleeves are tight with a size small, pretty much a body fit like Lycra or spandex. I cannot stand any sleeve besides those...

    Has anyone here purchased from Men's USA?

    Figured I would bump this. Anyone? Thanks!

    Fitted T Shirts

    I’m not sure if this is what you’re after, but Uniqlo’s basic Ts are superb. Now it heavily depends on what thickness you are looking for (as they have many different types), but if you are at all near one, I would highly recommend going. I am constantly on the search for clean T-shirts that...

    (Vintage?) Tips for dealing with white T-shirts + perspiration?

    Not entirely useful in my case. Even when I was doing insane amounts of cardio (https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Navy-Fitness-Third/dp/1578262666) I don't think it changed this much. To be honest, even if I'm not dancing that strenuously I tend to sweat a lot. Shrug. :)

    Any hot tips for 40s-style sweater vests (repro)?

    Thanks for the suggestions! I suppose I was looking though for plainer patterns, not the Scottish knit variety.

    (Vintage?) Tips for dealing with white T-shirts + perspiration?

    The problem is it’s not solely an underarm issue; I’m soaked like in a rainstorm. I can’t really slather it on like a baste :).

    (Vintage?) Tips for dealing with white T-shirts + perspiration?

    So! I oftentimes love the clean 50s look (and feel) of a simple, tight-fitting white T-shirt when dancing, but I will sweat right through T-shirts in no time flat. With most colors and especially grays and blacks this is no issue, but with white you can see right through! I know this isn't...

    Any hot tips for 40s-style sweater vests (repro)?

    Am building out my basically casual 40s wardrobe right now (beginning with the Hollywood-waist and sack pants) and am now interested in those tight sweater vests (banded-bottomed, etc.) that men would often pair with aforementioned pants, I suppose in lieu of waistcoats from earlier fashions, to...

    Well I’ll be DAMNED... look what I found!!! (A2, reposting from VLJ)

    Just posted this on VLJ, which TFL helped introduce me to just a few days ago. Figure you all would enjoy! "Wow, this is amazing. So the paint on my account here is probably still wet, I joined what? 48 hours ago? (If curious see my last two posts for what it was I was looking for.) I usually...

    Has anyone here purchased from Men's USA?

    So naturally since visiting their site I've been inundated with their ads, both here and elsewhere online :). This all started because I'm looking for drop loop/Hollywood waist-type pants, though of a slightly baggier fit than some of the ones I've seen at vintage stores (so closer to Oxford...

    Best A2 jackets in each price range

    Update- holy #$% their prices are insane! Thanks for this tip!!! Everything I'd seen at $200 and under looked like utter garbage, and posting on here to get such gems was really one of my objectives. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

    Best A2 jackets in each price range

    Great to hear. Good Wear just interests me on the historical detail obsession alone. I often show their site to people when explaining this rabbit hole and just how deep it goes! Kudos to them, seriously, for being that level of obsessive on it. Very interesting on Five Star; had not heard of...

    Best A2 jackets in each price range

    (First off- didn't know if this belonged more here or in WWII, so I double posted. Thoughts?) So! The title is pretty self-explanatory. I may be in the market soon for one of these, and though I've done some research with your help here before, I wanted to now gather thoughts/experiences on...

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I really need to read up on eBay, to understand how max bids work and whatnot. I thought once you place a bid that’s the price you’ll pay, similar to a traditional auction. Re: the 34, no worries, but that will be the next size I’ll be purchasing. With my 38” chest, I’ve tried on a size 36 with...

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Oh good to know. I almost never use eBay. I still don’t understand for example why some choose to list Buy It Now with no bidding, some with, some have phenomenal return policies, some none, some seem to allow making an offer, etc. Just never really shopped on here over the years.
