What did this symbol mean on Allied aircraft?
Very interesting! I'm a fan of The Saint, too. It didn't occur to me, but it does make sense that it would have made it's way onto nose art. I've got a little stick man in my avatar, too, if you look closely. -
Show us your TIES
Thank you! I've also bought a couple of brocade narrow ties, 54" long and 2 1/4" wide. The seller did not provide a picture of the brand, but I've bought two three tie lots from him before, over the last couple of years. I've found them to be nice, fun ties to wear when I'm not after the most...- The Good

What are you wearing today??
That looks good. I like wing collar shirts worn with regular ties. You hardly ever see anyone wearing that, it's mostly with bow ties. It does look very 1910s. I would say that decade was the last that look was very popular, though. It seems that by the 1920s, it was very conservative and old...- The Good

Hair won't really slick back/part with new pomade?
It should help to wet your hair a little with water before using the pomade, but do not soak it. If it can't slick straight back, try combing it diagonally back, or back two different directions from around the center. The first options good with a side part, and the other option is good if you...- The Good

On eBay, I won a late 1940s (is that right?) rayon tie, although the tag wasn't pictured. It's rust colored. I have a modern navy colored polka dot tie with proportionately similar white polka dots, so I wanted something in another color.- The Good

Canadian 'Men's wear review' 1911 to 1922
Yes, the Hobble tie looks very strange, but I'd only ever wear it because of that. It's a novelty tie, to me. It's not the best look, but I wouldn't mind wearing one of those shirts with a matching tie, on a rare occasion. It doesn't look very bad to me. That's a narrow collar, though! -

I like them both, and with those different widths, there is something for everyone.- The Good

Canadian 'Men's wear review' 1911 to 1922
Thank you! I've been reading through the 1911 review. Take a look at this interesting necktie. There are many thin ties in that catalogue, but I have never seen anything like this before. It's certainly an oddity. Here's a page I like. The one in the middle reminds me of the #1 Brooks... -

Thank you! I think 1950s is correct for that particular tie (and 1920s for yours), but I'm not sure about the rest. I could see the regular wool ties being either '40s or early '50s, even though no length had been mentioned. I'm not sure if those are 1930s or older. As for the other knit tie, I...- The Good

Nice! I like wearing solid and plaid ties, too, although I only have two plaid ones for now.- The Good

Thank you, I bookmarked that page! I now bought a new lot of four black ties, two solid 4 inch wide ones and two narrow 2.5 to 2.25 inches crochet knit ties. Take a look at the link for more pictures and the labels. The two wide ties are Best Black 100% Wool Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. ties. The two...- The Good

Those are very nice! From what I've seen, I really like the earlier 20th century ties. I own a 1900s/1910s off-white tie, myself. It is also very short, but I'm able to tie it in a decent length for my height, if I get the back end really short. I'm wondering what 1880s and 1890s ties looked...- The Good

All of those are very good ties, but with a shirt like the one in the pictures, I think most ties would look more interesting by association. I like that spear point collar. I remember seeing that shirt on the eBay auction with my off-white 1900-1910s tie, I think it is Dinerman's.- The Good

How to style my hair 1940-50s?
Products you can consider are Dax Wave & Groom, Royal Crown Pomade, Groom & Clean, and Brylcreem, as well as a variety of others, although I cannot speak for anything other than the ones I've had experience with. In order, I would rank them from the most hold to the least, the stickiest, most...- The Good

That's a wonderful suit, Nik! It looks and fits very well, and that's an equally nice hat you have. -

Hat With History - Bonaparte's Hat For Sale
That's very interesting! I didn't know that 19 hats in total have survived to be known in the present day as belonging to him. I wonder if Napoleon Bonaparte's other hats look the same, or if there's a non-bicorne hat in the collection somewhere. Of course, the man is most well known because of... -
Suits - Pre 1920
Yes, to me, the hair looks modern, or even earlier victorian/regency era. I guess that's the basis by which classical music was sometimes considered long hair music. Burma Schave:Very nice 1947 suit! It does look close in details to the earlier suit. -
How NOT to look like Indiana Jones?!
That's right, there isn't really anything wrong with the look, or something similar. Most people believe that Indiana Jones is a cool fictional character, even if they hadn't seen any of the films more than once, and the attire he wears is a large part of that, whether they'd mention it or not... -
Suits - Pre 1920
First picture: Pretty nice suit, hat, and boots with the spats. Any idea who he was, or is it an anonymous picture? Second picture: Those are interesting clothes, all right, but so is the hair. I think it's interesting to see photographs of those who kept their hair longer/bigger than most of... -
The Changing "Staples" of Menswear
I own a midnight blue grenadine myself, made by Sam Hober. I also had it made very close to the look of James Bond's Dr. No tie; I've always been a big fan of the Bond films. I'm not sure about it being a staple before the 1960s. I wondered about that, as well, and I think grenadine ties...
