    Jacqueline Kennedy Smart Pink Suit, November 22, 1963

    Yeah, I read that this morning. Not sure her clothes need to be secreted away like that. BTW, you posted a much better photo than what appeared in the paper.

    LoveMyHats2 is ill. Your Thoughts and Prayers, Please.

    I searched in vain for this thread just yesterday hoping to find an update on Daniel's condition. The road to recovery can be challenging but I have seen many, many people come back strong and Daniel has the will and the energy required. Please keep us posted, Cindy. And do take care of...

    If memory serves, this shirt maker has made what you're looking for at the request of a FL member. There are photos and a review somewhere in this thread: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?66661-Show-us-your-LUXIRE-vintage-looking-shirts&highlight=luxire

    Video: Horween Leather Factory Tour

    The one piece of advice I would offer those visiting Horween is to breathe through your mouth ;)

    Shirt for formal white tie

    White tie (Formal) calls for a wing collar. Are you looking for a shirt that employs a detachable collar?

    Vintage Spade Sole Shoes

    Cookie scores big again! I love the bold broguing. Any chance we can get a peek at the soles?

    Very interesting article on Horween Chromexel...the pro's and the cons.

    I don't think I like the idea of a jacket with coloring that is 'mobile'.

    Forward facing pleats (any company making them??)

    Forward pleats are not easy to find on RTW trousers. Years ago I found a lovely pair of tweed trousers, but for the reverse pleats, at the RL Mansion in NYC. The SA said that their tailor could switch them with no problem and that there would be no charge for the alteration. Well, they came...

    How to Know if You're in The Right Bar

    Yeah, you need to anaesthetize those taste buds to drink that swill. One of my neighborhood dives has a happy hour special offer of PBR tall boys for $2 a can. I ordered one with a "how bad could it be" attitude. Well, there a was good reason why I hadn't had a PBR in decades.

    Show off the sports coats.

    It seems that you've gotten a lot of great stuff from Yuonkers over the years, Thunder. They must have been a top haberdasher in those parts.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    You could smoke in hospital rooms (unless oxygen was being administered) up until the 70s. My family doctor would smoke while seeing patients at his office and while making rounds at the hospital.

    Toughest Chinos

    Check out Carhartt. They have some heavy duty trousers. You might also consider having a tailor replace the pocket material with something sturdier, like canvas.

    Switch out the spaghetti for macaroni and you have one of my fave cold weather meals; chili mac.:)

    How to Know if You're in The Right Bar

    That's how it's served at the whisky distilleries in Scotland. The water is used to 'open up' the scotch.

    Youth is wasted on the young.

    My general experience with today's youth is that one-on-one they're pretty cool but when in groups they can exhibit erratic behavior. When I encounter such groups I identify the alpha dog and stare him/her down in an effort to separate them from the group. Once we're one-on-one, they usually...

    True Classic Borsalino Fedora?

    Maybe he sent them over to Sulka. There were a bunch of odd lots lying around when they were shuttered.

    Is it Possible to Alter a Tailcoat?

    Sleeves can be shortened from the cuff end if they don't have working buttonholes and from the shoulder end if they do. The cuff end fix is prefered and relatively inexpensive while the shoulder end is pricey and requires the service of a good tailor.
