    Off-the-rack suit recommandation in London?

    Thanks for the suggestions, I was thinking about Marks in a pinch. Mrs. Matei is an M&S girl, she'd be happy if I could find something there. I actually flew over with two suits, but one is falling apart and really beyond repair! My job requires that I wear a suit every day, and I can't...

    Off-the-rack suit recommandation in London?

    Hi all, I'm back in London for a spell, and I'm in need of a new suit. I had to travel light, and as such my formal wardrobe is back in Romania. Can any of the London loungers recommend a source of reasonable priced off-the-rack suits? (obviously some alteration is to be expected)...

    Vintage leather question

    Here is the other coat, a picture of a picture (excuse the flash)... Has anyone ever seen that type of collar before? My father-in-law was about 18 here, so this was in the early '50s. He had just embarked upon his aviation/aerobatic career: Ah, an update... I just found some similar...

    Vintage leather question

    Thanks guys for the advice. I'll see if someone can source those products for me and bring them over during a visit... as here in Romania they're most likely unavailable! Anyhow - here are some pics of the coat. It is a fairly straight-forward design, nothing fancy. The lining was...

    Vintage leather question

    Hi all, While cleaning out a closet that hadn't been touched in about a decade, I unearthed my father-in-law's pilots coat. I believe it is from the early '50s, and it appears to be made out of goatskin. To my surprise it actually fits me. My father-in-law was a skydiver for the...

    Smoking in the house???

    We're non-smokers, so no smoking for us in the aul house. However, when our smoking friends come over, they enjoy their vice on the balcony. It is the closest thing to smoking indoors, yet doing it outside.

    Question about the late 1960s-mid 1970s

    Indeed - you just described my grandparents. They dressed the same for as long as I can remember. The only change is that my grandmother now has a new hairstyle... better late than never.

    Longhairs & Fedoras

    Good answers guys! HungaryTom - I like your point about looking very retro! :) I had my hair short for a time, "classic" short, but now is the time for the long hair again.

    Longhairs & Fedoras

    Hi all, Other than Johnny Depp, who admittedly looks pretty cool with his choice in lids, can you think of any other long-haired men who wear fedoras? I mean a "proper" fedora, not one of those trendy things you pick up in the Gap, or anything Justin Timberlake would wear. :p As a...

    My Display for Indy 4

    That is really a great collection MK, and very nice of you to loan it to the cinema. We saw the film here last Sunday, and sadly there was no display whatsoever, not even the big cardboard Indy!

    The Great Mac vs. Windows Debate

    You don't necesarily need a new Mac... My wife's workplace was binning a few old Macs, G3 iMacs to be precise. She inquired about them and her employer just said "take 'em". One is a 500MHz iMac Indigo G3, and the other a 600MHz iMac Graphite G3. They had not been used since 2003, and...

    Russian re-enacting.

    Regarding Patton taking on the Soviet Union in the aftermath of WWII... thankfully cooler heads prevailed. I don't think it would've worked out well for either side. Rather :offtopic: , but how do you figure "case in point" with President Putin? He was one of the first leaders to offer...

    "So how much do you make a year?" No longer taboo?

    I personally wouldn't ask, just because it doesn't interest me how much other people earn. However, I think the acceptance of this question depends on where you live. With our friends and family in eastern Europe it isn't a taboo subject. It is often one of the first questions put to you in...

    Retro geetar...

    Thanks guys. The guitar lends itself to those classic retro-rock type licks, however it is so easy to get around on it for practically any other type of music. Granted, I'm not talking heavy metal or anything, and I shan't be doing any dive bombs with the Bigsby. It actually stays in...

    Retro geetar...

    I picked up a new Gretsch G6120SHLTV the other day. I've wanted one for a long time, but I never played one that connected with me. The G6120SHLTV is a retro-styled guitar, combined with modern touches. It has the iconic styling of the 6120, combined with stripped-down electronics and...

    Hair and hats

    A few years back I had short hair when I started to wear hats. I've since let it grow, and it is true that it affects the hat size. My lids are noticeably more snug now that I've got my flowing locks. Some people like the look, others aren't keen on it. Johnny Depp is a well-known hat...
