    Hawaiian Shirts - Aloha Shirts

    mambo The mambo crew still do shirts but the production has gone offshore, i see those around in thrift shops from time to time, but the really hard ones to get are the original ones made in australia, a friend of mine collects them. Reg Mombasa's designs are very collectible as art as well...

    Hawaiian Shirts - Aloha Shirts

    a classic example That design there is a well-known one that originally came out on both the Hale Hawaii and Pali Hawaiian Style labels in the 50's, I have it in red, but a bit beat-up. The Sun Surf ones are incredible repro's even down to the stitching, and fetch nearly as much as the real...

    Hawaiian Shirts - Aloha Shirts

    avanti hate to be a party pooper, but Avanti are apparently dodgy repro's and serious collectors don't touch them, I've had a few dealings with Camille Shaheen, daughter of the legendary Alfred http://www.alfredshaheen.com/ and she has had a lot of trouble enforcing design copyright with mobs...

    Film Noir... with a French Twist.....

    an early one this looks nice 2 films with Moreau and Bardot, affair with Marlene, the guy had style. While I'm at it a plug for one of the greatest films of all time, not strictly noir, but never been equalled for dramatic tension through good direction

    Film Noir... with a French Twist.....

    Ghrisbi...one of the best I love this one, it's got Jean Gabin, (the French Bogart) in one of his greatest roles as the aging gangster, and a young Jeanne Moreau looking real good. The openness of the way they deal with drugs and sex is something you would NEVER see in a hollywood film of the...

    I'm allowed in with this

    harmony No mention of the artist I could find, and it's a 1927 limited edition from a store called Bebarfald's in Sydney, I found one copy at an online bookseller for 200 bux in a lot worse condition than this one, but never seen it on ebay, I debated ebaying it, but figured it was too obscure...

    Tricks for Fading Blue Jeans??

    I'm fading But not my jeans, I go to the opposite extreme, and try and keep the dark blue of my 501's as bright as possible, to differentiate myself from those who buy pre-stressed or fake finish clothes...they will fade naturally in their own time..patience has its own reward

    trash culture

    porn pop I find children's fashion alarming these days, I don't know what it's like in the US but it's common to see 9-10 year old girls dressed up like street whores over here. The endless TV exposure to semi-naked women on rap videos seems to be the driver, but it's very noticeable, and at...

    Clint Eastwood's RED SUN, BLACK SAND

    whose history It's true that Japan has virtually wiped the facts about its wartime crimes from the books, there anyway, it just isn't taught in schools at all from what I gather. So you can't blame the current generation really for knowing nothing at all about it. But the whole question of...

    coordinates please

    packin' It's actually a BB gun type of thing, we couldn't find an imitation Colt 45 for filming, and besides; in this country you need more expensive permits to use replicas than the real thing, so it just had to do in the circumstances. And I believe the the rule is English..brown shoes with...

    Can some style expert tell me why it is perfectly acceptable to wear brown shoes or boots with blue jeans, but not with a blue suit?

    trash culture

    I've followed protocol and not put in the link, but I noticed on feebay people paying big money for imitation old Levi's that are trashed to resemble a pair that spent 80 years at the bottom of a mineshaft or something, and they look pretty bad, even down to the homemade patching of specially...
