    Capes/Cloaks

    FDR's cloak Hey I was wondering if anyone could help me find a cloak similar to the one Pres. Roosevelt wore to the Yalta Conference? If not a cape or cloak similar to Roosevelt's, any sort of dress cape or cloak (preferably new produced, not vintage) will do.

    Hair cuts

    "Greatest Generation" hairstyle I've noticed that not only 'normal' people of the Greatest Generation (1910-1927) but the more visable of those all had generally the same hairstyle--that short on the sides and back, long on the top (but heavily slicked and combed back) style--I was wondering if...

    Question for NY people

    Ok. Would the light have made some colors seem lighter than in real life; for example if the subject had light hair or gray hair would it made it have appeared white? Also, whereas a previous license of his (from '72) has all of the info on the front printed computer-esque, even the DMV logo...

    Question for NY people

    Just a few questions--what is flatlighting? Also, the license below was stamped "May 30 1975"--the day the license was renewede, and a day before the previous license expired---Yet at the top it says "MV-2 (3/74)"--Any idea on what that means? Was the license mailed to my grandpa in March...

    Which 'Thin Man' movie?

    Which 'Thin Man' movie should I start with? I've never seen any! I've heard they're good though....

    Goatee anyone?

    Goatees Hey, This isn't a slight at anyone here who wears a goatee, but more at goatees in general. As a man, I personally never have liked a goatee-they seem rather uncouth and the very opposite of anything remotely "Golden Era." Maybe it's just because they're so widespread, and at times...

    Pencil Mustache

    Pencil Mustaches/Thin Mustaches Hey, I personally think that the thin mustache/pencil style was one of the best trends to come out of the Golden Era---A very debonaire, stylish, groomed facial hair style. It adds something to a man's face, unlike the bushier kind of mustaches ala Selleck...

    Vintage WW2 Mustaches

    That bomber guy has a cool goatee--and goatees were very rare in the '40s.

    Need '20s movies recommendations

    Hey, was wondering if you could list some movies from the 1920s or set in the 20s which were about or included any of the five following elements. They don't have to include all 5--just any ONE of the following elements. 1) A classic murder mystery plot--I've read these were pretty common in...

    Gable vs. Bogart

    In the 30s and 40s, these two were arguably Hollywood's biggest male stars. Both are legends in their own right, for different reasons. Who do YOU prefer?

    The OTB (Off Track Betting) thread

    Dunno if there are any other OTB fans here, but I figured I'd make a thread for it in case there was.

    Felt hats in summer..

    Felt fedoras in the summer? Here in NYC it gets to be about 85-95% as the summer really kicks in; I'm wondering if any of you live in a similar climate and if so do any of you wear felt in the summertime. I'd like to but I don't want to overheat!

    Khakis, Leather Jacket and Hat

    While I love the Indiana Jones films, it makes me angry that because of this films, an awesome combo of clothes will forever be associated in the public's mind with one movie character; thus, if you were Khakis, a bomber jacket and a fedora, which to me is a wonderful combination, most will...

    Memorial Day, the Greatest Generation and hats

    My grandpa joined the Army in 1939. He was originally stationed in Panama, guarding the Panama Canal, but around early '42 was sent to Europe. We don't know much about his service except that he served in N. Africa, France and Luxembourg. We also know he reached the rank of Staff Sgt., received...

    What kind of jacket is this?

    Here's my grandpa in 1945: And here again 1972: Same exact style of jacket, different color, yet nearly 30 years later. Can anyone tell me what kind of jacket was this, who made it etc?

    1957-1965 (or 1963)

    I wasn't around in this era, but it seems to me to have been a really great time for America. We were in the depths of the Space Age; A time of wonder, science, discovery; the future was in the minds and dreams of many. People were still proud to be American then; there was a certain spirit of...

    Will jeans be going out of fashion?

    Slacks to Jeans Hey I'm 18, but I definately prefer wearing a pair of slacks, preferably beige or black, to a pair of jeans. To me slacks are much more classy, much more comfortable and overall more aesthically pleasing than jeans. Anyone else prefer slacks to jeans?

    Something I've noticed

    On my Italian side, there were three boys and three girls. My grandfather (born in 1920), his brother John (1910) and another brother (born in 1912). My grandpa and the uncle born in 1912 served in WWII; neither of them in their lives wore hats. The uncle born in 1910, who never served in the...

    Hat comeback

    While we've seen a limited hat comeback this year, do you we'll ever see hats come to the fore front of fashion the way they were once?
