Tie with Chamois Shirt -- good look?
I think it's fine. I also tuck my ties into the shirt, like the soldiers did, while eating. It works best with my shorter ties, while my longer ones may be effectively flipped back over my shoulder. As for the shirt itself, I don't find a problem with wearing a double-pocket shirt and a tie. The...- The Good

outback hats, western hats w removable hatbands?
I have a related question. Is it possible to keep the Akubra leather band itself, but to remove the "Akubra" orange-brown logo on the side? You could see an example below, I'd rather do without it... -
Which Akubra styles resemble these Spaghetti Western hats?
I found a website selling Lee Van Cleef style bolero hats, similar to the Henry Fonda hat, but I think with an even flatter brim all around. Is this very overpriced at 239 dollars, and could there be a cheaper alternative to this look that has fur felt? I don't think I'm willing to go with a hat... -

Do you think wider lapels/ties will ever come back into fashion?
Something might supersede the regular tie as we know it, but I'm not so sure, as for over a century, long neckties have remained dominant. I think bow-ties are seen as either too quirky or tricky for the average man to adopt, short of using a pre-tied one (I believe nice ones do exist, and I own...- The Good

"Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)
Don Draper was very charismatic and successful. There are many good quotes from Mad Men. I wonder what he'd have been like in the 2000s and 2010s? A decades later flash-forward scene was an idea put out by Weiner, and I think it would have been interesting, but pretty difficult to do. The film...- The Good

Do you think wider lapels/ties will ever come back into fashion?
As a young man, I get the impression that narrow lapels, even outright thin, are still perceived to be very fashionable. I tend to wear the more moderate side of narrow for my own suits and sports jackets, although I've got a wide lapeled mid-grey tweed overcoat and a grey herringbone tweed...- The Good

When did the 'short back and sides, wet head' hair style first come into popularity?
From looking through paintings and photographs throughout the 19th century, men tended to wear their hair a little (or quite a lot) longer than what we may identify as one of the typical early 20th through mid-20th century short back and sides haircuts. Between 1800 (really, since around the...- The Good

Show us your waistcoats/Vests?
I've now ordered my first waistcoat. I put it off for a few years, to focus on shirts, pants, and other things (hats, ties, tie clips, etc). It's unbranded and made of a polyester and wool blend. Here are the eBay seller's pictures, I think it looks good:- The Good

Show us your TIES
With no specific lengths, widths, and further away and back views of the ties, I don't quite know what I'm getting. What I do know is that they are advertised to be new old stock, narrow, solid ties that are vintage, most likely not all that old. They're made of 90% polyester and 10% silk, but I...- The Good

Which Akubra styles resemble these Spaghetti Western hats?
That doesn't look good. Now I'm wondering about that retailer. They do seem to have quite a few older, mostly discontinued Akubra models that I haven't seen sold anywhere else, and a big color selection as well. -

Which Akubra styles resemble these Spaghetti Western hats?
I placed an order on eBay last night for a black shirt! :cool: Yet, in the film, Fonda's shirt is in fact dark brown. Here is this picture: T. Jones, the Akubra Sombrero does resemble The Outlaw Josey Wales hat! -

Which Akubra styles resemble these Spaghetti Western hats?
I was only able to find one picture on the web of Fonda's first hat he wore in the film. Both hats looked great in the movie, and he did have a commanding presence wearing those types of hats. As for the second actor's hats, I can't say what the quality of them would have been, but I think they... -
Which Akubra styles resemble these Spaghetti Western hats?
Could the Squatter also be flattened on the brim, though, and look like a narrower brim gaucho hat, more like the first few photos? I've seen pictures of them with telescope crowns before, and they look good like that. -
Which Akubra styles resemble these Spaghetti Western hats?
Thank you! I didn't know they still had the Akubra Cowboy style of hat, anywhere. That's good to know, especially that there's a black one lying around, somewhere. I'm looking at making my next hat purchase decision in a matter of months though, not right away. I wonder what the black hat's band... -
Which Akubra styles resemble these Spaghetti Western hats?
Which styles by Akubra most resemble these "Spaghetti" Italian Western hats, from Once Upon a Time in the West and the Sartana movies? The reason I refer to Akubra, is because I own some hats from them, and they are very durable and quite affordable for me. It's not easy for me to place these... -
I wonder if these boots from 1934-35 are the model for my Wolverines....
They are very similar, except for some details (mainly tones). Both look good, especially yours, as it is really seen in the photo. Also, is your forum name inspired by the Gianni Garko Sartana western movies?- The Good
