    How did the average couple dress for weddings?

    This is a history question. From around the 1920s to the 1950s in America and Europe, how did the average couple tend to dress for their weddings? Were they wearing dinner jackets and white wedding dresses as it is common now, or did they just wear their nicest suits and dresses that they could...

    When did belts replace braces?

    I'm a big fan of 8 1/2 myself, and Marcello Mastroianni looked cool wearing narrow braces. If I took up wearing braces, I'd for sure want to get narrow black ones in the collection. For now, it's belts or nothing with suits, as I feel like I'm a little young to start wearing braces. Don't...

    Synthetic suits - Thoughts?

    I used to have a synthetic black suit, kind of like what high school teenagers usually wear at the prom or graduation these days. I have since donated it because I lost weight, and thankfully wear wool suits now. However, I do sometimes wear an early '70s polyester blue blazer (lapels aren't...

    What are you wearing today??

    Very cool A-2, Dinerman. Is it recent or vintage?

    I bought a solid black wool vintage '50s or '60s U.S. Navy tie. It's 3" wide, and 50" long. Here is the label: I could see wearing this with my G-1 or Raiders leather jackets, too.

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    I know it's not exactly a trench coat, but this may as well be my first coat for the purpose of this thread. It's a London Fog single-breasted raincoat. I figure it's about time to invest in one. It may not be vintage, but I like the way it looks. I hope it fits well, size 38r should be...

    What are you wearing today??

    Cool stuff, everyone. I went to church this morning wearing the hat, and it's very hot out in the upper 80s. Wearing a felt hat isn't all that bad in heat, too.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I saw an interesting short film called Sesir from 1937, in which a hat plays a major role. It's the first sound film made in Croatia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnkZ43rH1IE&feature=my_liked_videos&list=LLHfq-MoSOd5s3idhKtOSehQ

    Moments of Doubt...

    After reading this thread, I think I'm going to make an effort to wear a hat a little more often now. I still wear hats, but not as often as I had done two or three years ago when starting out. There was even a point in which I attempted to wear one every day. One thing I've noticed, is that...

    Beanies

    I wear a plain dark blue one during the winter sometimes. They're very functional, and don't look bad with more casual attire like jeans and a canvas jacket. I would suggest Amazon if you want to find some of these.

    What are you wearing today??

    I didn't really wear it, but here I'm trying on my grandfather's suit he bought (and probably had tailored for him) in Yugoslavia between 1967 to 1969, before emigrating to the United States in 1970. There are pictures of him wearing it in the 1970s as well. It's a mid-brown suit with a subtle...

    Ben Nevis jackets

    Thanks for the information, Edward. I'm not sure about the Mercs, but yes, the red ones in that style are cool in a James Dean sort of way (even though he didn't wear a Harrington in his most famous movie. It was a McGregor Anti-Freeze, I own a brown one, but it's stained and the front where you...

    Ben Nevis jackets

    So, if I would order a medium, it would basically be a slim medium? That is in fact preferable to an overly loose jacket. I've got enough of that right now. Thanks.

    Ben Nevis jackets

    http://www.bennevisclothing.com/Harrington-Jacket-Classic-Cotton-Harrington-Jacket Does anybody have experience with this company? I might be looking for a relatively low cost Harrington jacket soon (probably navy), and I wouldn't want to pay top dollar for a Baracuta version. If anyone has a...

    I don't have pictures, but there are a couple of ties I found on the same hanger as the '60s Trevira tie I showed a page back. They are 1970s (and polyester), but at a quite restrained width for the decade, being at about 3 1/8 and 3 1/4 inches wide, and 56 in length. The colors are mainly...

    How Did Your Hat Come In Handy Today?

    I wore a palm straw Sun Body hat in the swimming pool to keep my head protected from the sun. Yes, it did get wet, but it can take it.

    Some nice ties since I've seen this thread. Anyway, thanks. I like that maroon striped tie, personal reasons aside, I like the design, the asymmetrical bottom's growing on me. Now I'm wondering if I wear it at the next family party, anyone will recognize it as being my Grandfather's. I will...

    Well, no sooner than I knocked very thin ties that I found one I like. It happens to belong to my grandfather (who probably hasn't worn it since the 1970s, as I noticed it in a few early '70s photos of the family), and he might have bought it in Croatia before immigrating to the United States in...

    Akubra Overload

    Does anybody own the Akubra Overlander hat? I don't think I've seen a single picture of it on the Lounge, so if you do, feel free to share pictures. If I were to own one, I might especially be interested in the sand color.

    Went over to Salvation Army this morning, and I looked at their ties. It was not a large selection, and most of what was to be found was wide 4 inch modern ties, or ones made during the 1980s or '90s. Maybe a few '70s ties. I think I recall seeing one vintage tie, one that I figure may have been...
