    Authenticity in the Vintage World?

    Plus, if one behaves superciliously to the newer people, they are more likely to develop an unpleasant attitude.

    I would buy it.

    Oxford shirts?

    "This note from the future says you shouldn't wear button-collars." "Harumph. Better change the shirt then. Luckily I've already unbuttoned it."

    Johnny Depp influence: Wisconsin bankers want no hats

    Hmmm. Perhaps I'll remove my fedora and German sunglasses but put on the glasses to which are attached a fake nose and a paintbrush mustache.

    I have felt that for a long time, but never articulated it. Thank you.

    Authenticity in the Vintage World?

    Isn't there a scene in the Coen Brothers film The Man Who Wasn't There in which Billy Bob Thornton is ridiculed by the owner of Nerdlinger's Department Store for his peak lapel DB suit? The Nerdlinger's guy has narrow lapels. If I remember right -- it's been years. It's not from the Era, but it...

    Authenticity in the Vintage World?

    My dad was born in 1921 and spent the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s (as well as the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s) in L.A. and says he NEVER wore a fedora! And he had only one suit for a good portion of the early 1940s, a baby blue number. I often suspect NEVER was an exaggeration but it still says...

    What are you wearing today??

    You could get 50 tans and you'd look brilliant!

    Wonderful shots Bigshoe, it is very interesting to see these photos of shoe manufacture, and it's lovely of you to post them. Thanks!

    At a store near you!

    I normally wear a W36 and L33-34, but the L32 is pretty good and the L34 slightly too long.

    Aren't you something like a W34 L36? Don't any of these approach that? At $5 you cannot go wrong, even if the tailoring costs a bit.

    Authenticity in the Vintage World?

    A sensible rule of thumb!

    German & Austrian Hutmachers

    Kick us out? No, only for rudeness or for non-vintage- and non-classic style- related matter. I'd take photos but I'm too busy today. Has anyone heard of that hat company (West Hamm)?

    German & Austrian Hutmachers

    An eye-opening thread. I assumed (from some comments a couple of years ago) that everyone on the Lounge hated Germano-Austrian velvety hats. This thread makes me want to wear mine more (it's by West Hamm, whoever that is, and has the metal round initial things in it).

    Authenticity in the Vintage World?

    Interesting conversation on the thread and Marc, wonderful and highly useful stills -- perhaps they could be made into a "sticky" with (or without, not my decision) the rest of this thread. As for the conversation: I have encountered as many different degrees of superciliousness regarding...

    George Pants at Walmart $5. I don't know where the Walmart is in Berkeley or if there is one here. But I got some George trousers for an insane $5 each from the online store. They don't have all the sizes one might want, but I found black W36 L32 and tan W36 and L34. $5 each, gents, and much...

    Childhood Fears

    True -- a lot of their episodes were (excellent) illustrations of common fears.
