    ever heard of very many tall people that live over 80?

    My grandfather was somewhere around the 6 foot and above region. Lived to 85.

    Video games based in the golden era

    I highly recommend LA Noire. Excellent graphics and physics along with a deep well written story.

    Video games based in the golden era

    The original Mafia is one of the best video games ever made, probably some of the most realistic car physics in a game too. The writing was great and the main character was relateable. Mafia II was a real let down. $60 for a game that had half of its side missions cut out for DLC. The whole...

    1950's Portis 7 3/8 Swansback super-lux brown

    For those who like hats with REALLY big ribbons. I have a similar hat from the same period made by ADAM. A nice alternate bold style. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Very-Vintage-Mens-hat-Portis-7-3-8-Swansback-super-lux-brown-/221180077205?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item337f5c2495

    1920's flecked 3 piece suit

    I'm curious for my own knowledge as to what particular details denote '30s slacks over '20s.

    1920's flecked 3 piece suit

    It also seems a little longer than the average early '30s style, at least in comparison to a jacket I have from 1933. Then again, not every suit maker was entirely up to date, or the customer wasn't into following trends.

    Vintage 1930s 7 Sportking darted eight panel newsboy tweed flat cap hat men's

    As my friend would say "It gives it character". I wouldn't be surprised if this sold for over $80, I've seen vintage caps in worse shape sell for that price.

    Rubber vs. leather sole shoes

    I do know that thick rugged looking rubber soles definitely date back to the 1930's. I've seen two examples of them, one pair worn by a Hollywood tour guide and another by the famous animator Ub Iwerks. I would imagine they were more popular on the West Coast due to the more "casual" atmosphere.

    1930's style James Cagney-esque stingey brimmed Fedora

    I'm not 100% certain that it's authentic 1930's, but it has pretty tall crown. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VTG-30s-40s-50s-WW2-DARK-BROWN-WINDSOR-CLUB-FEDORA-IMPORTED-FUR-HAT-/300848034003?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item460bf0b0d3

    1920's flecked 3 piece suit

    Definitely not 1910's, but it has the spec's of a late '20s suit. Early '30s the latest.

    Vintage 1930s 7 Sportking darted eight panel newsboy tweed flat cap hat men's

    The moths really feasted on this beauty, but it's still a nice example of a pre-WWII cap. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1930s-7-Sportking-darted-eight-panel-newsboy-tweed-flat-cap-hat-mens-/281050908706?pt=Vintage_Men_s_Clothing&hash=item416ff08822

    Rubber vs. leather sole shoes

    I tend to like the look and feel of leather soled shoes, but being a New Yorker I walk everywhere so I tend to save my leather soled shoes for either very nice days or formal occasions. Rubber soles also last longer which is good if you don't have the budget to take shoes to the cobbler. While...

    1920's flecked 3 piece suit

    An early example of what would be known as "atomic fleck". http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-EDWARDIAN-Rare-WINDOWPANE-FLECKED-3-Pc-SUIT-Bespoke-Mens-1910s-20s-/150978203400?pt=Vintage_Men_s_Clothing&hash=item2327008f08
