    Hitler remains not Hitler.

    That's open to a large amount of interpretation. What about the story of Minamoto no Tametomo? A legendary archer/samurai in ancient Japan. During his final batle after running out of arrows Tametomo decided it was best to take his own life then to allow his enemies to kill him. In order to...

    :offtopic: A fellow northern New Yorker. Good to see some Potsdam students are interested in classic style.

    Smoking Jackets and Caps

    http://www.smokingjackets.co.uk/ From what I've searched these guys make the best smoking jackets (or at least what I consider to be a "real" smoking jacket). I've been saving my pennies to buy one, one of these days. Fact is though I haven't contacted them to even see if they do ship to the...

    Baron Hats

    Baron Hats I did a search to see if a Baron Hats thread had been made, but I couldn't find one. So I was wondering if any of you ladies or gents had bought any hats from this place, and what you guys could tell me about them.

    New York Fashion Week

    It's good to see someone is attempting to revive the Toga. Although I think he has it tied wrong, and he is wearing the wrong shoes. Oh well at least they're trying.

    Hercule Poirot: well dressed gentleman or overdressed dandy?

    I would say Poirot is both a well dressed gentleman, and a dandy. He stays with his style despite the changing times he lives in, which is why some people think he is "overdressed" in the stories (often commenting on the strange little man). I love the fact that Poirot survives till 1975...

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    Sorry to hear all of the recent problems avedwards. Especially the whole violence thing, I've never seen clothes turn people against each other before like that. The closest I got to an insult this week was when I was in Borders, well wearing my chocolate brown Dobbs. Anyways I heard two...

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    I know this is a bit old, but Suchet's Poirot does wear a Bowler in "The Choclate Box". It's set when Poirot is an officer in the Belguim Police who is about to retire, and become a private investigator. During flashbacks to his youth (when Poirot was also skinny lol) Poirot wears a bowler. I'm...

    Does vintage make you look.... *older*?

    Well personally no, being 23 (24 on the 5th) I've never been accused of looking older. When I'm in my 40's dressing in this style will people think I look older? Maybe. Probably depends on my other physical features besides my clothing by then would be my guess. I think the "classic" or...

    Public Displays of Affection

    It's all a personal choice really. For me I don't mind seeing people hold hands, kiss, or have there arms around each other. One the other hand if they are practically about to have sex in the middle of the mall I think things have gone a bit far. At other times though it seems people do it out...

    H.L. Mencken

    http://www.americanwriters.org/classroom/videolesson/vlp26_mencken.asp#1 You want to know who Mencken really was watch him, and read what he has to say. Mencken was a small government, libertarian style guy. The reason he never called himself as such was that term was never used back then the...

    Ok, do hat-wearers have other common characteristics?

    Indeed he completely missed me and my friends around here who admire things that are vintage. I'm 23 years old, with dark hair who shaves his facial hair daily, I love most vintage clothing styles, and I lives in the North East US. But maybe I'm an exception on the board.

    the face of evil

    I agree. I don't like those hats, but anything the weakens the hold baseball caps have on being the only "normal" head wear is a plus in my book. Anything that weakens the populatirty of ballcaps and increase the interest in fedoras are fine by me. Even if they are ugly imho. People have to...

    Vintage Things that are Still in Common Use

    Although not exactly a "product" I'd say that many "vintage" comic book characters from the Golden Age are still around today. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, Captain America. Are all from the 30's and 40's. I only really know about American comics, though. And of course...

    I'd have to say that I agree with you on this one.

    World's Oldest Man, WWI Vet, Dies at 113

    That is really to bad. I've watched things on this man before. One hell of a life. I will remember him the rest of my life, because of what he credited his longevity to "cigarettes, whisky and wild, wild women – and a good sense of humour".

    The most stylish 8 year old ever!

    Again very well said Dutchess :eusa_clap. I find it interesting to see fellow Vintage lovers teasing a kid based on his clothing style. Granted he maybe more "Steampunk", then "vintage", but I think we would be the first group defending someones individual style, especially one who's style is...
