I'm pretty sure that the mid '50s to the mid '60s is my favorite time of clothing styles (mainly for the suits, and some of the casual styles). I like slightly narrow lapels and pants for suits, and I am having a 3 inch width tie made (I don't think it's that narrow though). I used to think I...
There are actually a lot of people here that pull wider brims. I think you may consider getting a hat in a moderate brim like 2 to 2 3/8 inches if it would make you more comfortable. My favorite fedora is 2 1/8 inches wide. Three inches is actually a wide hat, but there are lots of people here...
I actually like teardrop creases a lot more for some reason, and three of my favorite hats are that way (the other is a cattleman's crease Open Road). 5.5 open crowns are good for this sort of shape, maybe 5 1/4 might work too if you like lower crowns.
Welcome! I'm 22 years old and basically in the same boat, as I find it difficult to identify with many aspects of my generation; most music, the majority of fashions, slang, profanity, disregard for education, etc. I don't wear a fedora everyday or dress particularly vintage style (I try to keep...
Here are some better pictures of the coat that I took today:
Also, here is what the color really looks like in person (as closely as possible):
What do you think of the fit overall, and can I wear a pale grey fedora with a green tweed overcoat? I think I can pull it off, but does it...
Where exactly can one get a hat in the style of Marcello Mastroianni's in the Federico Fellini film "8 1/2?" I wasn't necessarily planning on getting one right now, and custom is very expensive, but are there any close options below two-hundred dollars? It seems to me like it's very similar to...
For fans of film noir music in general, you're gonna love this if you don't already know about it; on iTunes there is an album titled "Jazz on Film Noir, Vols. 1-5" that contains 101 tracks (I've listened to some samples and compared them with real soundtrack counterparts on YouTube, they're...
Thanks, maybe you're right about the date. Anybody else want to chime in on dating the coat? I'm not sure how many other members have Hart Schaffner & Marx coats, but based on the labels I'm wondering if that could really pinpoint the exact, limited range of several years. Perhaps it is early...
I wanted to get it in this thread. Here's a couple of pictures of my new Hart Schaffner and Marx overcoat, probably vintage, and I was able to get it for only $17.00 dollars. Does it look OK, or too big?
The coat is actually much greener in person than I thought. I was expecting something more along the lines of a charcoal/green, but I think I like it, although the color is slightly more flashy than I was going for. Here's what it looks like on me, is it too big? Is this something a tailor can...
As for early '60s, I think you're right. One reference that comes to mind is in a film I've seen recently, The Explosive Generation by Roger Corman, with William Shatner sporting the look:
Hmm, do you think 1960s could be correct? It strikes me as having that vibe with the narrow collar. I think this is also a 3/4 length coat, but I'm not sure yet.
I've come across the same picture on several other boards (even a bodybuilding one). Is that an actual guy from back then, or a modern model? The look is spot on period.
Anyway, I haven't got a haircut since my last picture in the thread. I'm just growing it longer again before getting it cut...
I'm sorry if there is a thread to ask this sort of question, but I just bought a Hart Schaffner & Marx overcoat on eBay. I figure that since it is very cheap, should fit, and that it has a return policy, I could take my chances with this. Is this a vintage coat? Any idea on if it could be placed...
I'm curious about what brand hat is worn by the character in Le Samourai, the 1967 Jean-Pierre Melville film. There is a part in this video in which he holds the hat so as to reveal the inside and liner, which could give you a clue. I think it's a Stetson, but it could also have been a local...
