    Wearing a shirt with the collar popped up

    I recently watched the 1960 sci-fi classic Village of The Damned, and was surprised to see George Sanders going through most of the movie with his shirt collar popped up. The only times I've seen this done (sans cravat) was by drunk kids at dance clubs. What's your take on it, folks?

    Best Manly Sweater

    I recently scored a vintage Marius. I am not sure of its age, but it's interesting to see that the label bears the name of both Marius and of his brother: "MARIUS OG STEIN ERIKSEN". Any experts on Norwegian seaters have any info on this detail, and/or would know the age of the sweater based on...

    How much space do your clothes take up? Help needed!

    Kind of a strange question, but I think you folks might be able to offer some advice on this. Reason I'm asking is because I'll soon be moving to a new studio apartment with very limited space. What I'll have available for hanging my clothes is one 3'4" (100cm) Ikea cabinet and a slightly longer...

    Hudson's Bay point blanket coats

    I bought one of these two scarves from an antique store in Ontario, Canada. Mine is the one on top, without the "point" marks. It looks like it was hand cut from a blanket with a pair of scissors!

    Burberry's trenchcoat belt question

    Thanks Carlos. You are correct about the flap, that's why I used quotation marks writing "gun" (some people also think it's there to reduce recoil) . I've seen pictures of wartime trench coats with it on both sides, and I think it makes a lot of sense, given the coat ability to be buttoned...

    Burberry's trenchcoat belt question

    Thanks guys. I did a bit of further research and it seems one advantage of the D-rings is they prevent the belt from slipping through the beltloops when unbuttoned, thus lessening the risk of loosing it. That is actually something to consider. I also have a question about the "gun" flap: does...

    Burberry's trenchcoat belt question

    Thanks! I'm getting more and more convinced that the rings were supposed to sit on the belt top, though, as I saw some wartime pictures of trench coats with equipment straps clipped to the belt.

    Burberry's trenchcoat belt question

    Hey folks, I am considering buying a Burberry trench coat, and need a little help from the experts. I think D-rings on trenchcoats belts are silly, so the one I'm looking for has to be without. On the other hand, I really like the classic 4 parallel stitch lines on the belt, which look nice and...

    Turquoise/Native American jewelry

    In regards to native silver pieces with a turquoize stone, I've seen two methodes used for stonesetting: one is like the the classic bezel setting, the other has the metal making a zig-zag line around the stone to hold it. Does anyone know if these two methods vary geographically/historicaly...

    Hand Knitted Harris Wool Socks (very cheap!)

    That's great, good to hear it worked out well. I'll probably order a couple pairs myself, as it's always a good thing to support local crafts. Did they change their mind about accepting paypal payment?

    That (sometimes) Vintage Smell

    If nothing works then I suggest you look for an ozone generator:

    Belts - Help needed.

    I'm planning to buy an Amish made leather belt. There are many of them on ebay and etsy and I would assume the craftmanship to be good. Anyone have any experience with that?

    That (sometimes) Vintage Smell

    Ozone cleaning should work for it in theory. I know what you mean by that moldy smell, that's why I always enquire about it when buying online.

    Those are real nice. I never understood what the throat tab is for. Anyone knows?

    Suspenders

    Or you could just add suspender buttons to any regular pants.

    My favourite eau de cologne

    Gotta love the Lounge... I'm from Parma and I've always assumed, until this thread, Acqua di Parma was a ladies perfume!
