    It is tough going vintage everyday.

    Yeah, probably one of the boys from marketing..............:p

    Storing hats

    I store mine stacked up and sealed in a cardboard box. Generally six hats per box. Been doing it that way for a few decades without incedent.

    It is tough going vintage everyday.

    The company is still in business. Why not just send them in for repair? Not in the slightest. In fact there are more custom hatters today than there were 30 years ago. I use Optimo in Chicago. As for watch repair, there's gotta be over a hundred shops in NY and Chicago alone.

    A Suit Study from Un Chien Andalou

    Trying to determine country of origin from screen shots is pure folly as any clues (labels, lining, zippers, buttons, etc...) are hidden from view.

    Tails, Cutaways, and Strollers - wedding

    Go with TT's rec. You won't find anything decent for even treble your price here in the States.

    Lord West is 'rental' grade formal wear. How much were you looking to spend?

    When did city slickers start wearing jeans?

    That's the meaning I chose as well. I'd say that the jeans/ sportcoat look took a toehold at Eastern prep schools and universities circa 1970 and by the end of the decade was being worn by 9-5 suit wearers in their off hours. That's my recollection at least.

    Suit made from heavier wool

    There is also a geographical component as well. You'll have an easier time finding suits made with heavy cloth in Chicago than in, say, LA. You might recall the heavyweight stuff Marty Mathis used to post here from his shop in Minneapolis.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Not sure that is an exclusivly Southern phrase.

    Writing Pen Clipped to Coat Front Pocket?

    Some gents choose to prominantly display their acessories and a fine pen is certainly that. I usually put my sunglasses in the outer breast pocket (along with a hanky.) My pen goes in an inside pocket made especially for it.

    Proper waistcoat length

    Yep, with OTR 3-pc suits the trousers rise will be cut higher and the vest will be cut longer on a Long/Tall than on a Reg.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    "In the pink." For healthy and fit.
