    For Wearing 'Golden Era' Vintage, Are Men Socially Castigated More than Women?

    This reminds me of something that i read once; "Women dress to impress other women. Men dress to tell other men how they expect to be treated" I think that most men will "dress up" in vintage style, suits, hats, overcoats, etc. and will appear more formally dressed. As any man in a suit will...

    Why is the Stetson Whippet so prized?

    So what is the consensus on a new Whippet? I saw it on the Stetson site. I would be more comfortable buying a more expensive hat when I can try it on in person. I need a big size (7 1/2)which is hard to find vintage online. I found my first Fedora (a Sacred Feather "Big Deal" fur...

    Which Presidents Wore Hats>?

    I hope that these aren't Photoshopped, since JFK is attributed with the death of the hat in modern American society. (I know that he wore a top hat to his Inauguration). Check out the porkpie thread.

    My VINTAGE ZOOT SUIT – c. 1940

    Modern ,new "Zoot suits" I don't think i would ever wear one, you would have to be very thin and tall to really pull it off. However there there is a part of the Hispanic community that will dress up in matching "zoot styled suits" for weddings, Quincineras, and other special occasions. In the...

    Where did your user name come from??

    My user name means just what it says. What gentleman here wouldn't want to be swank? I just joined recently, and what I like about the Golden Age is the style. Standards of dress were high and it seems that everyone back then knew how to dress appropriately for an important occasion. I look...
