    Overly appreciated movies?

    BTW folks Mayer never actually made the statement I posted above. j/k = joke ;)

    1920s suits

    The philosophy expressed in the advert above is something that the vast majority of people still don't get today; that, generally, cheap stuff is far more expensive than pricey stuff in the final analysis .

    Vintage versus modern ´quality´

    Probably not the best comparison as the quality of timepieces coming out of the workrooms of the top Swiss makers (PP, JLC, VC, etc...) has not declined in the least over the years, in fact some would say that it has actually improved. There is no component of their manufacture whose quality is...

    Monocles.

    As the article mentions, some are using them as a substitute for reading glasses when just a quick glance at something is required. Perks my interest as groping around for my readers to check the phone or a receipt is a royal pain and there's no way I'm hanging them around my neck like some do...

    Stop it, already, you with your facts! All they do is ruin a good script. ~Louis B. Mayer j/k

    Overly appreciated movies?

    Spielberg is the quintessential Hollywood dream merchant. If you have problems with realism and accuracy in his films (or anything out of Hollywood) you would be better served by viewing documentaries. C'est la vie.

    Blackpool 1930s in 2014

    I see his love for vintage does not extend to his wardrobe.

    Skirt shape on suits

    I'll echo the comments of Fastuni and add that I think of open quarters as being a bit less formal but that's just a personal perception. The fronts were opened, back in the day, to accommodate horsemen. Another feature of the lounge suit with equestrian origins.

    Wait, so a hat called a boater is susceptible to the deleterious effects of water? Do I have that right?

    Overly appreciated movies?

    I haven't read a single post in this thread bit I'm sure that every movie on the AFI 100 Greatest list has been mentioned. :p

    Reading on paper or screen

    I vaguely recall reading the article but obviously not deeply enough to remember the contents. :p

    Spear point collar shirts

    There is no surcharge for the style options so price is dictated by the cloth selected, which ranges from 36£ to 137£ , with the great majority under 79£. Hard to say which shirting is used on the eBay shirt.

    What makes a hat expensive?

    Well, there are some negative aspects to the bespoke process: 1.)Time. Bespoke can take weeks or even months for delivery. Some people need an item immediately and don't have the time to wait. Or they may simply not have the disposition to wait for an extended period. 2.)The effort...

    A few questions about pants

    I'm not sure anyone knows. [huh]

    What makes a hat expensive?

    I would guesstimate cost of the amount of Vicuña needed to make a hat would be north of $5k. :eeek:
