    What are you wearing today??

    Pants and coat from my dad's 1970s-80s unused wardrobe, shirt from Steve & Barry's, vest from Target, cap from a store in Eau Claire, WI somewhere. It's made of Pendleton wool according to the liner. No shoes at the moment, but they wouldn't be that special anyway. (click the image to see a...

    Showcase of Non-Indy Federations

    I really feel like I need a Federation. Alas, I have not the funds necessary. Yet. I shall someday have one. I shall. I have a feeling I'll want to trim the brim, too, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. These Feds all look wonderful, guys.

    Cheers To The Baseball Cap

    I don't wear baseball caps anymore, but only because I like other types of head covering better. I have a fedora or two, a newsboy cap, a bowler, a jester hat (with bells on), and even a medieval style hood that I find far more interesting and would much sooner wear in public than a basecap...

    What are you wearing today??

    The jacket is the same as the last time I posted in this thread; the tie is vintage, perhaps 1950s judging by the width (very narrow) and the length of time that has elapsed since my girlfriend's grandfather (the previous owner of the tie) last wore a tie; the vest is from Target and slightly...

    The Moustache

    I am lucky enough to have a naturally curly moustache. I intend to keep it for the rest of my life, either with or without the accompanying beard, though I suspect mostly with it. Here's a self portrait from last May:

    Questionable suits and jackets

    That's it. I'm never going to follow the don't-fasten-the-bottom-button "rule" ever again. If I leave the bottom button of a coat unfastened, it will not be because there's a fictional rule against it, but because I want to. If Cary Grant, Humphrey Bogart and JFK can do it, by golly so can...

    Musician's hats

    I really like the gypsy jazz guitar, and clearly I enjoy hats, or I wouldn't spend much time on this forum, but this Adrian Raso fellow seems to have taken too much of his style from Johnny Depp. The fedora atop a long-haired head, accompanied by a van dyke, screams Johnny Depp wannabe to me...

    Snot Rags?

    I've never warmed up to the idea of wrapping my snot in a rag and sticking it in my pocket. I blow my nose in order to be rid of that. My dad always has a hankie, and I've often seen him use it, but I've never thought I would actually need it. Maybe I'll try it sometime, because I've been...

    What are you wearing today??

    I was thinking about either a good hat or vintage trousers next. I do have some of my dad's old pants from the seventies, but I'm leaning toward older styles now (I guess that's partly why I'm here). I resist ironing clothing that I'm not in the process of making. I may change that, or I...

    What are you wearing today??

    I think it's time I contributed to this thread. Shirt: probably at least two decades old, acquired from my girlfriend's father Tie: probably at least five decades old, acquired from my girlfriend's grandfather Vest: less than a month old, received for Christmas Jacket: from the seventies...

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    The coat's lined above the waist, but not below. I've thought about adding a lining for the rest of it, but then I remember the pleats and decide against it. I spent a good few hours today figuring out how to make a pair of late 18th-century breeches. I think I have it about figured out. I...

    Personal Coat Hanger/Key Tray Standing Thing...

    A butler is not the same as a gentleman's personal gentleman. A butler helps run an entire household; a gentleman's gentleman (or valet) is one man's personal attendant. Bertram Wooster had a gentleman's gentleman--the famous Jeeves--but knew a butler when he saw one. Jeeves' uncle (I forget...

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    I've been sewing things since high school. Here's a coat I made for myself a couple of years ago: I'm the one with the shaggy hair. Here's a side view. I am proud of the collar, because I drafted it myself.

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    I'm new around here, too. Well, I lurked for kind of a long time before joining, so I know my way around, but nobody here knows me yet. I've been interested in hats since I was a kid. I finally got my first fairly good hat (i.e. not a baseball cap) in eighth grade, a quasi-Indiana Jones...

    Fashion fads we love to hate

    I am new here. Hello. I watched The Big Sleep and The Maltese Falcon on Christmas because apparently our hero Humphrey was born on the 25th of December and TCM likes to celebrate that kind of thing. Anyway, I noticed a few things about the clothing, because I pay attention to that kind of...
