    Thanks. I could not find many other examples of older ties from Bachrachs' on the web outside of a handful of eBay auctions, and they certainly do not appear to sell knit ties on their website now.

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    The rapier isn't quality, it was about a hundred dollars. It's a nice decoration for the room, and I thought it was good to perch the hat on top of for the photo. It's not where I normally put the hat.

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I've received a variation of the dapper comment three times, yesterday, while wearing my light grey Stetson with a black band. Yes, I've also been called John Dillinger and Don Draper that same day. I was wearing a grey plaid sports jacket, black pants, black chelsea boots, and a white shirt...

    Yesterday, I wore a yellow knit tie, 2.5" wide, 52" long, and made of cotton. I bought it in February, but I think it's become my most complimented tie, coming mainly from the college demographic, in my experience. It was seven dollars, from eBay. I'm in the habit of wearing knit ties almost...

    Trying different knots on Neckties.

    The knot and the tie look very good. I'm nearly 6'2", and I go with a double four-in-hand knot with modern ties. A regular four-in-hand knot is going to likely leave the back end longer than the front, since I don't wear the front down to the bottom of the belt. Right above the belt, but below...

    Suits - Pre 1920

    Very nice, Dinerman. Wouldn't that be a frock coat?

    Trying different knots on Neckties.

    Those are some interesting knots. I've tried a few of the less-seen varieties myself, and they seem to work best for longer, modern ties. For my vintage ties, I use a four-in-hand knot, and often the back end is half the length of the front when tied. For my modern ties, as they are...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I was watching Mad Men. Season 6 is on Netflix, now. I think my second viewing was more enjoyable, since there was more silence around me, the audio was better, and the computer screen was closer than the TV.

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I don't wear hats every day, and less now than I have a couple of years ago. However, whenever I'm wearing one of my fedoras, the other students usually say the hat looks nice, or cool. It's been a while since it last happened, but whenever the question comes, I try to explain to them I bought...

    The Passing Away of John Erickson, Fellow Lounger and Friend to Many.

    I had just read about this news. I'm very sorry, my thoughts and prayers are with his family.

    Suits - Pre 1920

    When did the use of all buttons on coats fall out of practice? Was it during the 1910s or 1920s that most men stopped doing the bottom button? I think it's a bit of a shame that King Edward VII was what effectively caused it to become improper. Because of that one man's influence on fashion, it...

    Brylcreem changed their packaging? I like their older one better, as far as art goes.

    should I get this necktie?

    I think it looks good. Which company sells this one, and how much did it cost?

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

    I know what you mean. Well, I'm glad someone's still wearing a hat on the show, and from another picture, it looks like Cutler does. Maybe Roger and Bert are still going to be seen with one Season 7. I wonder if Don would continue wearing dress hats, at least sometimes, years into his old age in...

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

    It looks like he's put on a little bit of weight, but I like the brown suit. I don't remember him wearing brown colored suits throughout the entire show, maybe once or twice?

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    This was sad to find out about. Gilligan's Island was always one of my favorite TV shows. I used to watch it on Nick at Night or TV Land when I was younger, over a decade ago. Last year, I also bought the complete Gilligan's Island show. I have occasionally put the show on my computer or on a TV...

    Custom shirts with narrow point collars 30s style?

    Those are sharp shirts. I may consider getting one of these. It's a great style, but it's a shame the availability is extremely limited. Occasionally, I like wearing a spread collar shirt, but shirt collars are a little spread and small these days. The retailer Jump the Gun has similar but...

    Here are some links to pictures of ties and a tie clip I recently bought. The pictures are very big. I don't know the widths of the first two, exactly, but I assume these are all shorter than 55 inches, especially the first one. I've put off buying some nice looking ties made prior to the '50s...

    My "fave" fedora flicks

    I still haven't seen this one. How important is John Slattery's role in the movie?
