    Proper shoes with tuxedo 1930s-1940s?

    I guessed spats would be a "no". I seem to remember seeing slip on shoes usually. Oh well, I might break the rules. Thank you for the advice.

    Proper shoes with tuxedo 1930s-1940s?

    I would like to know what is acceptable footwear with a tuxedo. I do not want shoes formal shoes only, I want them versatile enough to wear with non-formal clothing. Are spats acceptable with a tuxedo? I was thinking of Stacy Adams 00026 black/white faux spat? Any thoughts? Thank you Michael

    Tell a story about your first leather jacket...

    My first leather jacket was short lived. It was 1985 and our ship the USS Midway was visiting Pusan South Korea. I ventured to a market thats seemed to sell almost everything along with some leather jackets. I ended hanging out with a pair of brothers who were the shop owners the remainder of...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Been a while since logging in. I watched Cinderella Man again, but did some research this time. What a good moving and I also picked up Leatherheads with George Clooney wearing a killer leather jacket. I wore my Montgomery Wards horsehide jacket to church today, felt good along with my Persol...

    OK, bought a vintage leather jacket but...

    You might not believe it, but I decided to keep the jacket. I'm going to strengthen my altering skills for a better fit and I actually like the length. The one thing I am learning is to better measure my size when ordering online. Having a very small to no budget often results in clothes that do...

    OK, bought a vintage leather jacket but...

    Hey all, Thanks for the advice. I'm going to take the shipping hit and return to UK. The reference picture was good, what size do you wear? I am a 39 short or a loose 38 short. I bought the jacket based on measurements and wasn't quite sure. My goal is a 1930s fit that is not waste high. I like...

    OK, bought a vintage leather jacket but...

    Thanks for confirming what I thought including my wife. The shoulders are just right and I like the length more like the surcoat or car coat length, but I will alter the sleeves to at least be more narrow. I'm starting to alter my clothes and getting more bold. Thanks Mike

    OK, bought a vintage leather jacket but...

    I bought this jacket from eBay England and I am not disappointed. I did want a jacket that looked vintage and could pass for 1930s vintage when I drive my 38 Chevrolet. The liner has been patched where the label goes so not sure if label is original. The picture of the zipper is not readable...

    Pomade

    As a kid my favorite was Old Spice pomade. The Old Spice smelled nice and had good consistency. I used to use Tres Flores and Dixie Peach. I have not tried Murray's, but my son uses it. Maybe Murrays is up next

    Things You Learn as an Old Car Driver

    I like your list. Something I learned on my 38 Chevrolet is mirrors and turn signals were options so I find myself using hand signals and looking over my shoulder a lot. Mike 38 Town Sedan
