    Show us your SHOES !!!

    My newest acquisitions. Seller's pics as I don't have them yet. Keeping my fingers crossed that they all fit. Can any of the experts give me their estimate how old they are? Allen Edmonds Auction description said Freeman, inside of the shoe says Foot King Connolly of Ireland

    whats the closest thing to Traveling back in Time? to get a feel of times past?

    Past life regression. It's a revivification of a previous life. It's not the same for everyone, but there are people who get a very detailed experience, including the visuals.

    Balmoral Boots

    I agree with hbk. My boots are unworn and have an extreme curve. Either they don't know what they are talking about or they are trying to cut corners. I'll send you the boots with the toile. No use denying it when you can show them the proof.

    Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits

    I used to have a suit with one such waistcoat. The buttons were arranged in a V shape with the bottom button uniting the two hands of the V.

    Cordovan Aero Jarrow Marcher Boots.

    The heel cup looks much better than on Aero's pictures.

    What specific hair products did men use in the 30's, 40's, and 50's?

    Wash only once a week. Use baking soda to wash, let it sit a minute, then rinse and condition hair with apple vinegar, then rinse again. When half dry apply a very tiny amount of light pomade such as Royal Crown Hair Dressing, Murray's Super Light or Dax SuperGro and comb to desired style. On...

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    Wow. Impressive work. How long did it take you to learn to knit that well?

    What specific hair products did men use in the 30's, 40's, and 50's?

    I believe most men didn't use pomade or similar hair products at all. My dad was born in 1937. He told me that guys using pomade were regarded as square in the early 50s. Most men just used water to comb back the hair. I believe our perception is somewhat distorted by movies and musicians. Pics...

    Spear point collar shirts

    Yes, this time everything is unfused. No fit pics at present. The shirt is not overly wide as I am slim, but it's very long, almost like a nightshirt. I just realized they made the back button holes on the collars vertical instead of horizontal. It's probably not an issue, but I will...

    Spear point collar shirts

    Yes, it is. A very nice Oxford. They have the same in pink. It is quite difficult and time consuming to browse all their fabrics. The presentation leaves a lot to be desired. But they do have rather nice fabrics if you take the time to search them out.

    Spear point collar shirts

    I had a shirt with a short European spearpoint made by Jantzen this spring and a lot went wrong. The neck size was two sizes too small and everything was fused instead of unfused. I sent the shirt back for alterations. Now the fit is near perfect but, again, they fused collar and cuffs. Still, I...

    SJC buckle back jeans

    The legs are wide, so I guess it should work better than a 501 or something similar.

    As soon as the likes of H&M and Walmart pick up on the trick prices for low quality wonky clothes go through the roof. ;)

    Aero new venture?

    Usually you can get custom jackets at the stockiest as well. But, you can try them on and if you like the fit, you don't have to wait.
