    SJC Footwear Kickstarter

    Our esteemed member Simon Cathcart has launched a kickstarter for his label SJC. High quality 1920s spectator shoes and Balmoral boots with metatarsal straps as well as 1930s engineer boots at prices that are hard to beat. Take a look...

    Hat People or B-Wear?

    I got me a B-Wear when I got back into wearing vintage again. Since obtaining some original vintage caps I can't bring myself to wear it anymore. It just looks totally wrong to me now. For one, the cap is much smaller in diameter than a vintage one (unless you go back to 1900 or so) and second...

    Block-Bilt: Website link-Never seen these jackets. Anyone?

    Interesting. The pricing as well as the designs are very different from AL/SB's. It seems that the re-branding didn't work out or was just a short-term solution to get over the trial fiasco until they could start from the ground up. This is what they should have done from the beginning. Make...

    Sport coat and jeans??

    Mine usually just watch me lazily until I am done, sometimes even purring. Most of the time I don't even have to hold them, they just sit on my lap while I clip their claws. They would never claw me on purpose, even if they are not in the mood for the procedure.

    Sport coat and jeans??

    I often find myself changing to jeans or some other tough clothes as soon as I come home since having cats. Still, it helps a lot to cut off the tips of their claws to prevent messy and potentially (garment)life-threatening situations.

    Sport coat and jeans??

    I tend to agree, BUT … I really like the look of denim bib overalls worn with a vintage orphaned suit jacket, shirt, tie or bow tie and 20s/30s dress boots. I might buy a pair of bib overalls just to be able to sport that look. It has a rural depression era charm all its own.

    Best treatment for Goatskin

    I guess it depends on the tanning. Chrome or veg tanned? I use a German product for my veg tanned goat jacket, Elephant Leather Preserver. It is completely synthetic, so no danger of going rancid. It is used to restore museum pieces, so it should be be good for vintage leather as well.

    Alternatives to Horween Chromexcel?

    It's certainly not in line with Ken's usual standard.

    Was the Hippy jacket designed by Ken?

    Shirt collar oddities - Boardwalk Empire Shirt Collars

    Since there are a few bib front shirts in this thread, can anybody tell me what the most common fabrics were being used for these shirts? Here the shirt body seems to be quite fuzzy. Flannel? This looks rougher than normal poplin to my eye. What kind of weave is it?

    Himel Brothers Leather Co.

    What I understood from Simon's comments he made the jacket per Rivet Head's request.

    New Aero Premium Slim Fit 1930's Half Belt

    What is the shoulder width?

    New Aero Premium Slim Fit 1930's Half Belt

    Maybe, but I'll wager the armholes feel higher and smaller if you don a jacket that is two sizes too small for you.

    New Aero Premium Slim Fit 1930's Half Belt

    Interesting. Everybody says it is such a slim pattern but to me it seems they just downsized. Meaning they put a size 40 label on a normal 36 or 38 jacket. A slim pattern would mean a higher drop from chest to waist/hem but there is just 1.5" drop. That's not a slim pattern at all!

    Leather Olympics - Your Top 3

    Indiana Jones comments are a rarity here. I only ever had one, by a drunk. I was wearing a FQHH Aero half belt and a grey Borsalino.

    I want to learn to dress in modern/timeless style

    This is certainly not timeless. In a few years this look will be viewed similarly as the worst fashion crimes of the 70s and 80s, no doubt. But if you want to dress like this any high street chain store will have what you want. Just make sure to leave the fly partly unzipped or you miss the most...
