    What to wear with a fedora....

    A straw boater, Panama, or Milan hat would be good, but I think most fedoras and newsboy/flat caps could look fine with a normal navy blazer. Just about any grey hat, black, or even earth tones like brown or tan could look nice.

    Need help identifying an old comedy short, please!

    Absolutely! Thank you, Dhermann. I'm almost certain that Cash Stashers is the movie. I have no idea where I can watch this online, however, or where it and other Pete Smith films could be bought.

    Need help identifying an old comedy short, please!

    I need help identifying an old comedy short. This is something I've only ever seen once, but it has stayed in my mind since viewing it, except I forgot the title. I had seen it just after the end of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre on the TCM channel (Turner Classic Movies), most likely one of...

    Pensioner Chic

    I think I tend to see older people wear fur felt and wider brimmed fedoras even more than younger men do, in Los Angeles. They also tend to wear suits or sports jackets more often to church on Sunday, or to family reunion and holiday events. There is certainly the appearance of more formality in...

    What are you wearing today??

    I wore a brown '50s McGregor Anti-Freeze jacket with a railroad striped shirt, dark jeans and a brown belt, and brown WWII reproduction Service Shoes Type II. This is generally my casual attire, or khakis or brown desert boots.

    Show us your TIES

    Thanks to both Baron and Widebrim for clearing it up! I'm sure it'll be frequently worn, and I may come to like bow ties more and more. I had thought that I wouldn't know until I tried it. I think there is also a Tootal thread on this forum, as well.

    Show us your TIES

    So 1950s? I would be interested in knowing how you made that connection. Is the tag the biggest clue, here, or is it in the width/length and stitching? I have a black wool tie that is very similar to this one, except U.S. Navy issued as part of a dress uniform. That one is supposed to be 1950s...

    Show us your TIES

    Nice ties, although it's too bad about that threadbare one! Right now, I tend to go for plainer ties in general. Here are my latest purchases. I'm not sure as to their true decades of origin. Solid red wool tie, listed as 1930s or '40s: http://www.ebay.com/itm/231012997190 No period...

    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    That's a nice coat, Fastuni. I have a grey herringbone coat that has a very similar color, but it was probably made during the 1980s. Evan, your coat's great, too. I guess a lot of us on here like herringbone, then? It's a very good pattern for an overcoat, I think.

    Period Films and Inaccuraces

    Modern urban music? Which piece did you mean? I liked the inclusion of Ennio Morricone's music, though, however anachronistic to the '40s it may be. It was supposed to sound somewhat like an Italian western of the '60s and early '70s. Then, more recently, Tarantino finally went and did a real...

    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    Nice overcoats! Would anybody be able to identify this French, 1960s overcoat label? This image is from a scene in the film Le Samourai, in which the character removes his charcoal or navy single-breasted coat. I have already figured out that the hat may be a Stetson, and the tan trench coat an...

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    I thought the last episode of this season was fantastic, and it was the first that I've ever bothered to watch twice. I appreciated how Don Draper tried to turn his life around, and become a better person. He had to start eventually, before he would deteriorate further, and it was a pretty good...

    What kind of bow tie is this?

    Colonel Sanders was known for wearing this tie. Michael Ginsberg from Mad Men is seen wearing one in a promotional shot for the sixth season. Is this appropriate with a dinner jacket at all? I always assumed this was something that harks back to the 19th century, as in during the days of the...

    What are you wearing today??

    That looks good! More people should wear brown and other earth-toned suits these days. I own and would wear one, although it doesn't really fit me well.

    Stetson Stratoliner Milan {modern}

    Has anybody been rained on while wearing this hat? I want to know how well it could hold up. Despite being a summer hat, meant for warmer days, I would like my straw hats to keep looking good.

    Does anybody know what this tune is? (From The Godfather)

    Thank you, Miss Moonlight! I had thought that this was a piece from before The Godfather. Is there any other music you could recommend to me that sounds similar? I'm not quite sure what this style of piano music is called, ragtag, or just jazz? It reminds me a bit of the theme to Borsalino...

    Does anybody know what this tune is? (From The Godfather)

    There is a piano tune being played by Francis Ford Coppola's father, Carmine Coppola, during the newspapers and crime photographs scene. It is the scene that also depicting the Corleone mobsters preparing for a war with a rival family, eating dinner, and Carmine on the piano towards the end...

    "Hats on a Stick ®"

    I've never posted in this thread before. Here is my Stetson St. Regis that had been trimmed into a fedora three years ago.
