    Lon Chaney will get you if you don't click heeeeere

    nice french cuff shirt, I wonder if it's with a detachable collar... I believe this is from While the City Sleeps, interesting hat & seems like a very low cut vest... his detective role from London After Midnight. Anyone know how often people wore patricide collars not with evening...

    Lon Chaney will get you if you don't click heeeeere

    from a recently found early film of Lon's, Triumph. Anyone wear tie pins? I'd be afraid over time they would put too much wear in an easily seen area of the tie. Also notice the lapeled vest & I really wish shirts came in such designs today! again from London After Midnight, I like the...

    Lon Chaney will get you if you don't click heeeeere

    Ok maybe not but I did want to try a bit of an experiment. I wanted to call attention to the clothes Lon Chaney Sr. wore in his various films. The reason being, he wasn't a romantic lead, he connected with the every man, the common working joe that was down on his luck, broke and ugly...

    Bookster Three Piece Tweed

    I second that! I'm looking forward to see what comes of this sharing of ideas! Something resembling Gable's It Happened One Night suit feels like it's almost within reach! :eusa_clap

    Are You Addicted To Clothes?

    quite a raw nerve of a topic lol I've certainly got a passion for the chase! The crushing blow of how much the catch costs, well that's something I need therapy for :p

    10.000 BC

    I like the fact that it's the director of Day After Tomorrow. Not because that film was quality, but it was (atleast somewhat) written by Art Bell, of conspiracy radio fame. It seems the director likes working with themes Art Bell covers, so if this film touches on Atlantean/Edward...

    Obama and the tie.

    Working in a huge corporation and seeing execs all day long, I can say that this is only part of the equation. The scruffier the exec is, the more successful they are. Has to include a 5 o'clock shadow & spiked/messy hair (that I got things thrown at me in school for) to complete the look of...

    belt backed & double breasted! courtesy of slicedbread!

    I think if I wasn't colorblind, I would wholeheartedly agree with you guys & I certainly appreciate the time period window that brown buttons on gray fabric were created in. But actually being colorblind, I'm hesitant to throw myself into various color combinations, especially mixing grays with...

    Single Breasted, Peak Lapel, Light o'my Life! How do you guys like this two piece?! It fits perfectly directly out of the mail! It has wide legs, and a real thick material. I absolutely love it! T'was won off of ebay and the seller's photo's were really blurry and from far off but I thought...

    belt backed & double breasted! courtesy of slicedbread!

    So I ask again, any opinions on me switching out the buttons for something gray or black? Anyone had any luck finding buttons that don't scream modern additions? thanks ahead of time!

    THANKS! Are you hinting around that I should take pictures of the single breasted peaked lapel suit I wore to the cicada club the other week? Wasn't that beeeeautiful?! I got it off of ebay and it was a really blurry hard to make out photo but I thought I saw what it was aaand I vas right...

    belt backed & double breasted! courtesy of slicedbread!

    What would you fine folks think of the idea of me replacing the brown buttons with gray or black buttons? The light brown buttons give me troubles as a colorblind foo' but if I can keep it all in a gray/black corner of the closet I can wear the jacket on a more regular basis! Any opinions on...
