This is a Hickey-Freeman Customized 2-piece suit from a local high-end men's store here in Louisville. It's not a recent model, as you can see from the label, but the styling is conservative, classic, and not at all dated.
The jacket is single-breasted, 2-button, notch lapel with flap...
They're modern in the sense that they're still around today, but they've been at it for a long time.
Today they make cheap stuff for brands like Kenneth Cole, Geoffrey Beene, etc. Stuff you see on the shelves at Filene's Basement, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, Men's Wearhouse, etc.
I've had a few suits with this extra loop. It provides a belt loop closer to the buckle, keeping the front of the belt from drooping down below the waistband of the trousers. Similar to the little prong loop that some trousers have, except that the prong loop also keeps the buckle from moving...
Picked this up not long ago, but I recently go one that fits my needs better and I want to keep the herd thinned down.
It's a vintage (not sure how old) Dobbs, originally from a men's store here in Kentucky. The color is predominantly gray with a slight brownish taupe tint. The color in...

Lucky Strike, you're cooler than just about anybody else around.
Metropd, that's a great casual look. Everything works without seeming too over- or under-done. Great job!
Anybody have a length of black ribbon that they'd like to sell me? I need enough to replace the band and bow on a size 7 hat. I've looked all over town and can't find non-polyester ribbon anywhere locally.
These are vintage Florsheim Imperial longwings in tan scotch-grain leather with double leather soles. Size is 12C. They're practically indestructible shoes in great condition. No scuffs or scrapes on the uppers, and soles that are still rock-solid. They even have the original all-leather...
My head is a 7 1/2, but I keep trying to buy smaller hats on the cheap, thinking maybe I can stretch them and make them work. They ain't working, so I need to find another good home for them. Neither of these is in perfect condition and I'm not sure what to ask for them, so make me an offer on...
