t'anx! welll I'm a huge Lon Chaney Sr. fan, that's a 1930 publicity still mourning the 'late' lon chaney at that point, I've also got a wonderful newspaper article interview where he talks about life and work and his nonexistant interest in being in the hollywood social circle. That life and...
I completely agree! I always loved the classic hollywood style, but once I moved to LA from NYC I was immediately drawn to wearing the style myself to counteract the laughable unpurpose 5 oclock shadow, bought used tshirts and jeans of the ultra hip here! baaah I'm a gentleman and I oughtta...
ah yes I know what you mean, it's included in Ron Borst's wonderful book, Graven Images.
Have you ever seen the film or even just stills from Seven Footprints to Satan? Breathtaking art deco set design!
I was lucky enough just now to browse through the 20th Century Fox photo archive's...
Very interesting! thanks so much for the link! You guys do civil war reenactment? I have never gotten into such things although my dad is a WW2 reenactor back on Long Island. I'll probably start a seperate topic on this elsewhere but I'm proud of my ol'man because this museum, the american...
well.. I guess I was just hoping they would look of a higher quality in person as they have been around as a company for so long and seemed to 'get it' throughout their website and company motto :(
Meanwhile, I am going to attempt a full return & put the money towards some quality Magnoli...
hmm I will definitely think about doing this in the next few days.. I feel like I waited so long for these and I dont think I could wear them and be happy even if they were made well... the sleeves look like they were attached in the dark, the seam is at the front of the sleeve all the way down! :(
sure! this film is wonderful! I love Edgar G Ulmer! He had a wonderfully romantic life story of his own too! Chased out of Hollywood by studio heads after choosing to follow his heart and marry his love and therefore worked the rest of his life on meager budgets creating his films with his...
Michael Curtiz was actually the first director out there in the 30's that was consistently setting horror films in the (then) present day. Doctor X & Mystery in the Wax Museum w/Lionel Atwill & Fay Wray, the Walking Dead w/Boris Karloff all come to mind.
Lee Tracy is also in Doctor X and the...
I was hoping to pass on some information and let out a bit of frustration at the same time. Sooo if you follow this link, river junction you'll find reproduction victorian/edwardian mail order clothes. Shirts with removeable collars and various notched lapeled vests and pants that are high...
Very interesting and great to know thank you! I come into this as a big fan of classic hollywood (visual) styles but don't know much from the tailoring side.. yet ;)
any other sources of learning you can suggest?
thanks again!
Mike
sure! well first off you need to have collar studs, the front one is longer than the back (as it has to go through double as much material). There's lots of interesting sites online talking about how the collars were boiled to preserve the shirt's lifetime. And that for some time they made...
