This is actually a concept traced back from the father of Judaism, Abraham. He lived in Ur, an ancient Sumerian city-state. Sumeria was a thriving virtually modern day culture that was already attaining incredible heights 500 years before the great pyramids of Egypt were built! It was a...
yeah I'm wondering though if you got a nice thick belt, and paired it with some equally styled earlier clothing, it could look even 20's-30's looking somewhat. Am I waaaay off?! lol
Did anyone take a look at the link I posted above? here are some of the pictures, I think with a normal sized belt maybe these might look pre-50's...? errr, maybe!?
soooo I'm in search of a full cut, high rise golden age pair of pants, something modern and/or repro. Something that doesn't scream dressy but a bit rugged but that could be somewhat dressed up just aswell.
I find when I see nice looking pants that might have a nice look to them and put em...
yeah I just got the Via Tournaboni in the mail. It's a size medium and it's a very nice sweater. Just not fitting as I was looking for. I wonder if the small would be perfect or if it would look like I didn't really fit into it. questions questions...
And thanks Ray, I will look into the...
Anyone know of any modern reproductions of golden age-fitting sweaters? long sleeve or sleeveless. I would like to find something that doesn't have a modern waist line but a higher, more vintage measurement. Any ideas? I find buying expensive original sweaters online seems like a blind...
T Bone Walker is the man!
I've always thought emulating blues musicians' style sounded like a wonderful idea... take a look at Frank Stokes, Big Bill Broonzy or virtually any of these teens-forties blues men and women!
yazoo records - just browse around!
no no nothing like that, although I did frantically send them two emails and called a few times to find out if this would really be able to fit me or not :p
This is actually my second suit this month off of a website like this, the other one was a late 40's brown herringbone 3 piece single...
shhhhhh I "won" it! :p
took half a week to find out if there was enough room in the pants to bring em out one size! It was a nail biting experience! lol
Just won! I will take pictures when it arrives and is slightly altered, but snagged the beaut' for $150, none to shabby huh!? :)
no other pictures but looks pretty promising in a low-resolution kinda way! :p

You think? ;) I like it all. If I could still grow a foot and a half high brightly colored quiff (over the top pompodor/mixed with a mohawk) I probably would still do it.
But on the other hand, for me, my path in getting here was getting into rockabilly/psychobilly followed by teddy boy...

Not goth personally, but 10 years+ been running psychobilly shows and old time spook shows/spook show themed dj nights with delta blues, calypso, rhythm & blues, rockabilly, garage, punk, psychobilly - really whatever's wild and fun...
Speaking as one of the color-blinded, I sadly have to agree with him!
I find this issue VERY frustrating!
I used to dress mainly in gray scale (+ 1 color) to make it idiot proof for me.
Now I'm boldly venturing outside of that...

thanks! It certainly is interesting! I work with the prop archivists mainly (which is dealing with props from the last 15 years approx.), but occasionally get to work with the photo and poster archivists - whose collections go back to 1914! I'm hoping to get enough experience to assist with...
