    Freemasons seeing a spike in new membership

    Atheist here too -- perhaps a new dress-up fraternal lodge can be created by or for us.

    Freemasons seeing a spike in new membership

    It is good to join any salon-like happening where people dress up, meet in old beautiful places with dark, varnished wood, and talk about intelligent things. And perhaps drink a bit of Scotch. I like weird initiation rituals too. And the contacts could be useful.

    Imperial Florsheim Pics

    I wear a black pair exactly like that: Florsheim Imperial Kenmoor Long Wing wingtips. They're solid as a rock.

    Show us your suits

    Ummm ... Justin (sorry, "james") how about photographing the suits front-side so we can actually see them?

    Wow Mose. This is the kind of bric-a-brac that I like. I have a few items that might be of interest. Idle Dame, can we have a few photos? I promise I won't freak out at the coprophilia, I mean coprolites.

    My Custom Tailor redux

    Oh and Feraud, I do not know if they (MCT) offer rise measurements as an option. I know that in their template they offer something that looks like drop loops now, as well as loopless belt with side adjusters -- that's rather nice. Also they offer choices on pocket design and on lining. There...

    My Custom Tailor redux

    Devoured. By. Moths. Please kill me. What do you all think of the fabric swatch that I linked above? The top swatch that is cream and orangeish herringbone. I think it is godlike. (To Hemingway: The suit you sold me is lovely and fits perfectly, but I also want a heavier tweed of a...

    Excellent advice, Mose. Next time I'm on the Continent perhaps I'll pay you a visit, only if that is OK with you.

    Benissimo. Thanks for the leads, gents: I'll look at pricing next.

    My Custom Tailor redux

    OK, I know this has been discussed a bit, but I want to discuss it again. I am considering having a suit made for me by mycustomtailor.com. Why? you ask. Vintage suits ARE available for cheaper ... we complain about spending $300 for a vintage suit, but the quality is worth it and the cut (if...

    Easing my partner into vintage?

    Edward's advice is most excellent. With my partner, she has a conscious dislike of subcultures, scenes, and snobbery. She does like many of the aspects of "being a vintage person": for example she thinks film noir is fantastic. She is old fashioned in her views about propriety. She just...

    Of Sheep-Dip, Rot-Gut, and Furniture Polish. The worst of the worst.

    An excellent argument, John. Now, if you don't mind, can you tell me what is IN Pimm's and what it tastes like?

    VICTORIANA

    Mysterious, that is fantastic. I do not have a room dedicated as a Wunderkammer, as my apartment is only 1100 square feet, but I am working on dedicating an (antique) bookshelf for this purpose (once I remove its miscellaneous books and CDs, for which I think I can find room elsewhere). I love...

    What are you wearing today??

    Greenish gray tweed sounds awesome! I wish mycustomtailor.com had green tweed! Wear a suit of that with red-lensed vintage glasses and I'd be the cat's pajamas!

    Parting Men's Hair: Where Should I Part Mine?

    My mother gave me this advice as a lad. (when I was a lad, I mean. Not when my mother was a lad. For she was never a lad.)

    Parting Men's Hair: Where Should I Part Mine?

    I defer to your opinion, Paisley, as you are a woman. And women should give us advice as to what looks attractive. But I think that a bic-razor bald head looks very cool with a 3-piece suit, tie, and good shoes -- although not every man can pull it off. (In fact I am eyeing my shaving...

    Parting Men's Hair: Where Should I Part Mine?

    Nowadays a man with receding hairline or bald patch can simply shave the whole head bald and it looks quite cool. I mean, I always thought it looked totally cool, and kind of mean, which I like; but nowadays it is less freakish than it used to be and is more accepted. (Although in a decade...

    Hat etiquette for *today*

    I do not stand when it plays on radio or TV but certainly if I am present in real life. A very sensible distinction. Right, same here.

    Hat etiquette for *today*

    DURING their anthem? That is insane. I'm not Canadian (my mother was, though) and I think even I would beat the guy into a red mess.
