    My New Dressing Room...

    And here are the duds I can store up there now: Of course, I've still got my original closet arrangement in my study downstairs. It presently still has all the warm weather wear, but in a few months I'll swap the stuff around. :)

    My New Dressing Room...

    Allow me to rub it in a little, fellas. Whist some of you get scolded for being vintage-aholics, my baby actually suggested we convert our upstairs middle bedroom into a walk-in closet so I can keep expanding my collection of hats, and clothing. Helps me organize my Ebayables too. :D Here are...

    Show us your Vintage Office Supplies.

    Cont'd... Vintage Out-Box and vintage folders too! My favorite satchels/briefcases. The more beat up they get the better I like 'em. Forties or fifties drafting light on my art table. Functional, yet merely decorative Royal typewriter. Love my old Shaw Walker file...

    I've got a few tidbits around... The skull is over a hundred years old. It's a cast iron inkwell from my maternal great-grandfather. I use this little spike for pick-up slips for shoe repair or dry cleaning. Vintage fan, Ronson cigarette lighter, Park Sherman brass cigarette...

    Public service announcement. You may be entitled to "vintage" funds.

    Congrats, Major! Cool of you to share the info...

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    Thanks, Tomasso and Jeff, for the little 'plug'! :) I really do enjoy making a couple bucks by uniting good vintage shoes with men who will properly appreciate them. And I keep a list of sizes and preferences from Loungers who have emailed me their specs.

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    French Shriners for five bucks. I love the color. Looks awesome with denim. Not in perfect shape, but not trashed either. Marked "8C" but fits like 8-1/2. Tight on me, though, so they'll go to the 'Bay. If no takers, I'll see about stretching them some...

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    Yeah, I think you summed it up. Nice style and colors but the leather (?) looks flimsy and the stitching is lousy when seen up close. Real hard to find the real thing (vintage) of shoes like this, however, so it's good, I suppose, that someone offers a repro'. How much do they a$k for these? I'm...

    I bet those look GREAT on. I'd wear 'em with jeans or dress slacks. I like 'em.

    Obsessive thrifting and estate-sale-ing

    Looking forward to seeing you on that Hoarding show. lol I have the bug too, but at least I like to be organized and have my surroundings look nice so when anything really starts to pile up or get to where there isn't a logical way to fit it into a drawer, etc., then I know to sort through...

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    Ain't this a beauty!? Cursory research indicates 1940s. After that the Art Deco style "DeLuxe" badge changed considerably. I think the control knob is bakelite but not sure. Very heavy base, and of course the top is glass. Works great! :D

    Then there's these NOS shell cordovans. Actually had to cough up two-digits. They also fit but I've been trying to make a rule to offer NOS stuff for sale rather than put it to use, so... ;)

    At it again... These fit me well so I'll keep them. $3 including shoe trees. :D

    Wow, those Packards were a real treat to look at. Thanks, Shooman!

    Have any other men noticed this?

    True for shirts too. I am long and lean. I take a Medium. It's a good thing I like the aesthetic of vintage clothing because that's the only way I can get a decent fit in most OTR shirts. Thirty-plus years ago "Medium" didn't mean 22" across the shoulders, gigantic armholes and enough torso...

    dear new neighbor

    One other thing, HepKitty; although there are usually no quick solutions it has been my experience that losers like these come - and go. Your job is to manage your best and outlast them. If you conceive of it as a contest or a 'war' then understand there will be setbacks and you won't win every...

    dear new neighbor

    Love guns - great tools. Really dislike the suggestions to use them illegally and irresponsibly. Just me. ----------------------- Here's some advice. Get friendly with the dog. Here's why: My brother once had a situation like this. He asked them nicely to keep the dog from making piles on...
