    Short-sleeved summer shirts

    You can tuck them in, but they look terrible in my opinion and weren't made to be tucked in. I can't think of any of my ss camp shirts that I would tuck in. Most authentic 50's shirts are cut to just hang over the waist, so there isn't enough fabric to tuck.

    tats up the arm..

    There is so many facets to the culture. People are drawn in for their own reasons. For me, it is the music first. Then it's because of being an outsider. I was a teenager in the 70's and here in Indiana, there was still a greaser culture made up of prominently poor kids. We weren't extremely...

    Short-sleeved summer shirts

    Jerekson, You can't go wrong with a good ol' fashioned Camp shirt. With Camp, I mean the cut. They usually have a button loop, one or two chest pockets, and cut square at the bottom to just hang over your waistline. Most 50's and 60's shirts are simple camp shirts made plain or with some...

    Actually, he wears newer Davinci's. I have about 50 vintage Davinci shirts from the 40's and 50's.

    Yep and before that they were called the "Kramer" shirt from Seinfeld.

    tats up the arm..

    Well, I am certainly not against the tattoos, as I have a couple myself, but it seems now they HAVE to be up the arm on both sides. When I got into this, we kind of followed our Dad's and Grandparents (my Dad was an authentic greaser, who tattooed himself with a needle and ink). I would...

    tats up the arm..

    Sorry for this rant, and I hope not to offend anyone here, but is anyone else in the rockabilly community tired of the same look everyone has? Since when does rockabilly mean looking like Jesse James (motorcycle fabricator)? Seems every time I go to an event, everyone looks the same. All the...

    Looking for vintage retro spaceage art/articles

    I am working on a project that requires art and lifestyles from the future space age, envisioned in the 50's/60's, the kind of future in "The Jetsons". I've found a couple of books on Ebay, but was wondering if they made a magazine back then showcasing life in the 21st century. I love the...

    Pomade

    I used to use Murray's, but it's too thick. I still stick with RC and to change things up once in awhile, I'll use Gabel's.

    Any Morrissey fans here, or even a look-a-like?

    Just wondering if there are any Morrissey fans here. Been a fan since The Smiths, and even more when he went Rockabilly in the early 90's. (Your Arsenal is my favorite album). He's looking very classic these days. I know this is a stretch, but I am in need of a Morrissey look-a-like for a...

    Hair styling/control question

    I don't use a blow dryer. I give my hair a once over with a towel and then apply. The BC and RC bond to the moisture in my hair and makes it stay in place better. If I blow dry it (Like I do when I use wax pomade), it will dry it out and make it look dull. The best thing you could do is simply...

    Hair styling/control question

    No blow drying. The key to those styles is the natural look. It doesn't look nor is it dried out. I get compliments on my hair all of the time. I apply with my hands, then brush it in. The moisture is what keep the hair in place, which I credit to the light (very light) layer of RC. Funny thing...

    Hair styling/control question

    I get those results using a light application of Royal Crown. Not enough to make it greasy, but just enough to hold it in place. I also use a dab of Brylcreem as a foundation first. In fact, I currently wear my hair just like Bale's in that pic and it's all Brylcreem and Royal Crown.

    Exciting archaeological discoveries....

    The Book of Enoch. Lost for centuries until a copy was reported to be in Ethiopia. An explorer in the 17th century went looking for it and found THREE copies. Said to predate Genesis. Brought them back and had it translated into English. They even found fragments of The Book of Enoch as...

    Alden Boots?

    lol lol Little did anyone know that Ward was a closet adventurer. I mean seriously, no one really knew what he did. Just came home with a brief case and no one asked any questions. ;) Aren't authentic Aldens made in the UK??

    Alden Boots?

    Well keep in mind, "costumes" in the Indy community are more than costumes. They are usually well made and meant to be worn daily. An $80.00 pair of boots should be top notch quality and I heard the boots at Todd's are durable and wearable for everyday use.
