    Oh man, I told her she could wear my shirt but to keep her hands off my hats.......

    Bow Ties

    I must say that I don't recall a season where so many designers/brands/shops were offering bow ties. And many, if not most, for the first time. I"m curious to see how many see any action.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Only to be replaced by phrases like, "I'd hit dat." Quite an improvement.............

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    "That must be jelly cuz jam don't shake that way." Referring to a fine figure of womanhood passing by.

    Blaming the Enforcers?

    Yes, you do see a lot of that attitude today. Misdirected anger. An important part of correcting mistakes is to acknowlege them. Something that appears to be lost on some folks these days. I grew up being peppered with the warning, "Don't do anything you wouldn't want to see on the front page...

    When did the smiles begin?

    I recall seeing photos of smiling faces on the repeal of Prohibition.

    Blaming the Enforcers?

    I'm not too keen on posting a persons mug shot before their case has been adjudicated; if that's what they're doing.

    Stretching a hat - advice please....

    Seems like a pretty lame fix to me. Why not just invest a few bucks in a hat stretcher.

    help with a grey jacket

    I'd have to see the jacket fabric before recomending flannel as it doesn't work well with a lot of worsteds, particulary those with a hard finish. Texture is just as important as color in this matching business. ;)

    Horizontal Button Holes on Shirts?

    The horizontal bottom button serves to "lock" the placket thereby assuring that any pattern stays matched. Horizontal button holes require exacting placement of button and hole which is probably why most shirtmakers eschew them.

    Matching A Panama

    You may want to reconsider pairing a leather jacket with a straw hat; kinda like wearing a parka with flip flops. ;)

    Men's DRESS BOOTS to suit all budgets.

    That would depend on ones definition of value I suppose. For me it begins with a quality product and those boots are not that. They are a waste of money at any price, IMO. By paitently working the sales, eBay and such you can find much higher quality for just a little more money.

    Missing Loungers Whom You Miss.

    I don't recall any. But I do know of a few members, in good standing , who have changed their FL moniker, for various reasons. BTW, it's good to see you back. :) We thought we lost you a couple years ago when they wouldn't open that chat room you wanted.

    1947 dated Bespoke Brown Pinstripe Suit

    Nice. Probably MTM rather than bespoke.

    The Complete Guide to suits: 57 Rules of Style

    Nope, simply refuting your erroneous assertion with photographic evidence to the contrary. ;) As has been mentioned, it's one thing to have personal preferences (we all have them) but quite another to rewrite history in support of them.

    What do you do for Living?

    I love AMEX, too! Once you go black you'll never go back. ;)

    loop for pocket watch chain

    I think that may be the "bar" of a hook and bar waistband closure.
