    A suprise for vintage shavers...

    Can you post the UPC of the Wilkinson Blades? My local B3 does not carry them, but it is a smaller store.

    Club collars in the 21st century or The Club Collar Club

    It's hardly casual, unless you count the fact the tie is loose. The collar is a Slidewell Salamis.

    Show us your cigarette lighters and such!

    I just picked up a Regens lighter. After a bit of repair it is working again. Does anyone know what Pan Spred was and when it was made? I would guess some kind of cooking grease.

    General Work Leisure Clothes

    I believe short sleeve coveralls were popular during that era - not just for yard work, but also leisure. There is a magazine illustration posted around here somewhere of a gentleman wearing them on the boardwalk if memory serves. I used to have a neighbor who wore them quite frequently when...

    1920s Travel Clothes Advice Request

    What type of overcoat? When I hear that I think wool, but it appears there are other materials that qualify. I did find one that is similar to the Penguin Truemans Trophey Corduroy Overcoat, but again I worry it is too modern. http://www.penguinclothing.com/16FR0132-212-penguin.html

    Rick Deckard Costume, more than just a coat

    You may want to try Kohls for the tie. There is a quasi-similar one at my local shop.

    Rick Deckard Costume, more than just a coat

    Actually the shoes are special. They were identified as Adidas, I believe referee shoes. In some shots you can see the three rows of holes punched in the side. Though that level of detail certainly isn't necessary. The closest off-the-rack shirt I have found is by Claiborne. I found it on...

    1920s Travel Clothes Advice Request

    Cookie, I will try to find those movies. Tourbillion, I do have plain white and black neckties if those would be more appropriate, but they do have a sheen to them. So at this point it appears I need to look for: Flannel Slacks Vest or Sweater I am open to color suggestions as this...

    1920s Travel Clothes Advice Request

    Do you think this coat would be appropriate? My historic costume book says tweed was popularized by the Prince of Wales, but only gives the range of 1920-1947. I would guess it was before 1936 though. I'm not sure what I am going to do about the tie. I don't know that any of these work...

    1920s Travel Clothes Advice Request

    I am trying to put together an outfit for an American visiting Ireland in the 1920s. Unfortunately a suit is too expensive, so I am trying to find a more casual solution. I was hoping to do something based around a brown corduroy vest and I was going to make a shirt with a band collar to...

    What Are You Reading

    H.P. Lovecraft At the Mountains of Madness (and other Tales of Terror), but I have not gotten to the other tales yet. I am also looking at some books on Art Deco and Art Nouveau.

    Art Deco/Nouveau Corner Bookcases?

    Does anyone have examples of Art Deco or Art Nouveau corner bookcases? I have been searching online with very little luck. I looked at the library threads, but they do not seem to address corners with a single unit. At this point I may just go with a hexagon shaped bookcase and paint an art...
