    girls in guy's garb

    I think you're spot on Karol. In fact women can and do frequently wear actual mens clothes, not just male influenced clothes, and its acceptable. I am always a bit suspicious of guys who can't take "feminine" touches in male attire: as the bard and the good Baron have said "methinks they...

    girls in guy's garb

    all the women I know swooned over Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Carribean and I'm sure it was the eye shadow that did it. I suppose all this is subjective, but personally I find completely butch men and overly frilly feminine women slightly disturbing. I could never fancy a Stepford Wife...

    What's up with Nick and Jessica?

    well, I realized it was sarcasm, but I thought it was going to be sarcasm about "insipid conversation in these times" rather than a discussion on closing controversial or "heated" threads. I missed the gentleman thread as well, it sounds like it was exciting! Please don't worry, I think...

    America in Color, '39 - '43

    http://editorial.gettyimages.com/source/search/product.aspx?p=4&e=0&pg=1&am=-1 this is another great image link. Just do a search in the archival section for your topic and see what gems come up! I just wasted a morning searching "French Resistance" and "Spanish Civil War". Incidentally, They...

    What's up with Nick and Jessica?

    the point is that it doesn't make it clear what the thread is about. I doubt if many of us have to time to check the content of every new thread that pops up so it helps if the title makes the specific subject matter clear. Here's an idea for us all to mull over. It's fairly obvious really...

    A good all round hat for a summer holiday?

    Hey, what's wrong with Beloq. I think he looks pretty cool!

    Aero Highwayman, help!

    I think the fittings are the weak spot on Aero Jackets. Fantastic leather, great designs, but often let down by cheaper zips,buckles, snaps etc.

    Global or Regional style?

    John, that is absolutely correct. English hoods - known variously as razor boys, wideboys, corner boys, spivs - tended to go for 2 basic styles which anyone familiar with their American counterparts will recognise immediately. First was the classic suit and trilby (fedora) but often with a lot...

    So. We having this revival or what?

    yes, whenever I do see it it tends to be guys in their 40s or 50s. This is also the same demographic that tends to comment (positively) on my vintage gear generally. Perhaps there is a nostalgia element - the baby boomers are perhaps the last generation to have seen and worn real clothes in the...

    So. We having this revival or what?

    well I know what you mean. I've seen them in the shops but not a lot in the streets. Odd that. I think it may be because some "celebrities" have taken up trilbys and tweed? I've noticed a lot of ebay listings seem to shove Pete Doherty and such into their titles at the moment.

    What's up with Nick and Jessica?

    Sorry Jack, no avoiding it, your thread title really must have kept out a lot of people out who would be very interested in this discussion! I only noticed the thread today because I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ve just seen a newspaper feature on this ?¢‚Ǩ?ìNick and Jessica?¢‚Ǩ? - I had never even heard of them...

    What's up with Nick and Jessica?

    Sentiments that most of us probably share GG, but unfortunately, to quote another recent veterans' journal (8th Air Force News) "you might not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you"!

    The Chap Quiz

    (polite cough) The Confederation of Anarcho-Dandyists (or CAD) is totally opposed to the work ethic. It seeks to supplant this vile concept with THE SHIRK ETHIC. To this end its online Chat Room (or Chap Room) is cunningly disguised to look like Windows Help. This enables the oppressed wage...

    Aero Highwayman, help!

    It's hell isn't it, especially when the zip goes in public! For future reference: the best way out is to remove the metal stoppers from the top of the zip, pull the slider up and off at the top, then pull the teeth apart. Once you've got the jacket off, refit the slider and see if the zip...

    girls in guy's garb

    BTW - I think the very first picture is the young Anne Scott James, the famous writer and journalist. I came across another shot from the same session a few days ago, can't think where! And no, I wasn't googling "hot lesbian action".....

    Great British television.

    Kumars is modern Baron, it's about a British Asian family. I've never seen it mind you, as I rarely watch TV, but a lot of my friends think its a hoot. Best British TV? Father Ted (oh, but that's Irish, never mind) Mycroft - Yes, we still do good documentaries (mind you, we've made some...

    The decline of good parenting...

    Oh dear, I had resolved to keep out of these discussions. My time on the lounge is limited and I came to talk about clothes. But I can?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t let you get away with that one! When you go to the dentist he violates your body but with your consent to achieve an end you desire e.g. no more...

    Laundering linen suits

    well, I do have the advantage of being a man, that's true! Plus it is easier to get away with too big than too small. Still need advice on the laundering! Will this have been pre-shrunk? Marc, your Trinidadian SB peak lapel is a mighty suit! I wish I'd seen it on ebay....I'm saving for a...

    Laundering linen suits

    Thanks Herringbone! Keep the advice coming chaps.... Actually the jacket has no shoulder pads and no lining apart from a lighter weight linen shoulder yoke. As long as the linen is pre-shrunk I think you could wash it, though it would certainly be the devil to iron. Of course, it is the...
