    Cordova Handmade Caps / Johnny J's work

    I think you'd do well at Inspiration. The Vintage Fashion Expo is mostly women's wear, whereas Inspiration is predominantly mens workwear. I stopped by Benny's booth on sunday and missed 'ya!

    Golden Era Cuba

    I enjoyed Chico and Rita. Another film to check out is 1964's Yo Soy Cuba. Although the film's direction is attributed to a soviet, Latin American lore claims that the Cuban filmmaking team graciously accepted Russian filming equipment, and promptly dismissed the Russian filmmakers!

    Here are the Nicholas Brothers, phenomenal tap & jazz dancers... behind Harold (the younger brother) you can make out Fayard's 1930's collegiate suit with wide legged trousers. This still is from a film released in 1936.

    Who is your style inspiration?

    On the opposite end of the spectrum are the musicians and performers I've admired; lanky with style that produces long & lean lines. Cab Calloway for sure: T-Bone Walker for the post-war period. And perhaps the most amazing hollywood leisure suit this side of Slim Whitman,
