    Passing Indy's Hat

    I think a final installment could basically be Indy in Lost Horizon (or She). It would be a very poetic send off to let him stay in a lost land to never die. Throw in a lot of bad CGI and maybe Lucas would sign off on it :p

    Smoking Jackets

    I'd love to get a silk one but I haven't found on in my size in good condition that was affordable... yet. I'm envisioning Claude Rains' in the Invisible Man! :D I don't have a pipe or slippers but I like the idea of putting on my "drinking clothes" lol

    Smoking Jackets

    Smoking Jacket Etiquette I just picked up this somewhat low key but to my eye mighty stylish smoking jacket... I will not wear it outside to walk the dog or while bathing. :p Any other suggestions on specifically when to or not to wear a smoking jacket? In films I've seen people come...

    Union Labels

    Would there be a union label(s) dating from before the National Recovery Act era? Please correct me if I'm wrong (and pardon me if this is d.u.m.b.) but a union tag would be present on an off the rack suit reflecting the specific workers that constructed the mass produced suit, correct? Or...

    Is the suit relevant in your life?

    Nope! The general work dress code is slacks, a dress shirt and maybe a tie. A full suit is definitely considered overdressed. It's a very fine line though. I've spent the last few years trying to fit in just right so I don't become a spectacle but rather am known as being a good worker. I'm...

    Post New Hats Here!

    2 Art Fawcett Jazzmen! I went for two Jazzmen, one that I could wear with my brown schtuff, one for my blue/gray suits.... I'm a happy puppy tralala! I really like the pre-code film era, and saw some advertisments showing how the young thing was really contrasty ribbons so I asked for that...

    The 1920 JAZZ SUIT

    I agree! I wonder if someone like say Fletcher Henderson or someone else who was performing in the real beginnings of Jazz visually symbolized the entire new movement.

    Favorite classic horror movies

    You think? I think Hammer can be really hit or miss. Personally the first of their Frankenstein and Dracula series were their high points. But the subsequent Brides of Dracula and Kiss of the Vampire were classics aswell, even without the real star power of Lee and Cushing! Even though in my...

    NEWS BOY CAPS

    I've never seen Hat People's site - they look GREAT! I have two B!Wear hats and I like them, but the proportions are a bit weird for my head I think. I'd prefer a longer and wider brim and a much fuller cut. I also wish their website had larger images of their material choices. Also if they...

    Fabrics for Cold Weather Suits?

    Hey Ray, Perhaps this is a stupid question but.... Can you explain to me how you can feel the difference without taking them apart?

    Teddy Boy Rock'n'Roll

    Nope, the ones I have are from the now closed up, Ted's Corner and Unicorn. I'd love to get a Colin Taub 3 piece suit one day!

    Teddy Boy Rock'n'Roll

    he's expensive (at least for an american these days...) but he's the BEST and can definitely do wool last I heard!

    30's~40's Work Boots
