    Japan in the 1950s

    If you liked that then you will probably like this piece on the making of Dr. Strangelove which shows the magic behind the bomber scenes. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ6BiRtGTAk

    Spear point collar shirts

    Luxire have a copy service with no measuring required. Simply send them a shirt that fits and they copy it down to the T. Personally, that's the only way I would get involved with a remote 'custom' transaction.

    Japan in the 1950s

    Great pics, thanks for posting. I've always found it interesting how quickly the Japanese warmed to the American culture following the war. I can't imagine Americans doing so had the situation been reversed.

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Same here. Brenner seemed to disappear after Johnny retired and the next time I saw him was around twenty years later and by then he had kinda lost the funny.

    I remember when.....

    I remember my father paying for a family dinner (for five) in one of the best restaurants in Chicago with a $20 and getting change back.

    Veg v. Chrome Tanning

    For what it's worth, all the elite men's shoe makers use veg tanned leather. As does Hermès ( worlds preeminent leather maker) on everything from saddles to jackets to bags to shoes (John Lobb.) In the last decade they have acquired several of the finest tanneries in France and Italy in order to...

    The Vintage Tailoring Thread

    At Oxxford mostly they sit in a chair with the goods in their lap or on a table/bench though some times they will stand over a work table. Oxxford says they've been doing it that way since they opened the shop in 1914.

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    Very nice! And that waistband treatment is something you don't run across very often. Any details (maker, date, etc)?

    A new (to me) vintage lawyer's briefcase

    I hear you. I was bequeathed a pristine set of Hartmann luggage (similar to yours) by an uncle. I foolishly decided to use them and let's just say it was a very bad decision (read post #41 in the luggage thread for details). I would advise you to limit their use to car trips where you will be...

    Suits - Pre 1920

    Yeah, the bottom button rule is a relatively recent enactment. As is showing linen (shirt cuff). Back in the day both were considered a matter of individual preference. My grandfather buttoned up and covered his linen and was considered to be among the best dressed men in NY and Paris.
