    Classic Style Mag on Newstands?

    I've found it at both stores here in the DC area, as well as independent newsstands.

    Did You Get An Allowance?

    My sisters and I were given an allowance. We were given money to put in three categories: money to save, money to spend, and money to give to church. It started out at $.50 for each category, then rose as we got older to $1.50 each, then $5 each. We did have to earn it by doing chores...

    Spectator shoes petition to Allen-Edmonds

    Sorry...I don't quite follow this--how does posting here a lot make one an iconoclast?

    Who makes good loafers?

    Allen-Edmonds and Alden are two well-known, reputable American companies that still produce quality footwear. They are about the only ones really making decent-quality shoes in the US these days.

    Cool (But Sold) eBay Stuff

    Vintage Florsheim black-and-caramel spectators. These were kinda odd--the soles look like they're in deadstock condition, but the uppers are pretty wrinkled. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=006&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=160112675070&rd=1&rd=1

    Cool (But Sold) eBay Stuff

    Deadstock ('30s?) brown blucher boots that went out of my budget: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=018&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=280110834825&rd=1&rd=1

    I'm makeing a Zoot Suit!

    Ditto. I have a hard time believing someone would pay that much for the finished product, let alone the pattern.

    Summer Panama Alternatives

    You might also consider a Milan straw in a darker, more subdued color. Like this grey Dobbs Bellagio, perhaps, with a more subdued ribbon.

    Scottish Tartans

    I've always been curious about Irish practices regarding tartans. I've read some pretty convincing research saying that there's no good evidence that the ancient or medieval Irish wore something like the modern kilt--but then, as so much the current Scottish practice seems to be a modern...

    1930s+ Suits, GOODBYE!

    Man, that'd be perfect for the stroller I've been wanting to cobble together...

    Weekend Rituals

    On Saturdays, I get up and cook a big breakfast for my wife and I. Then we clean the house together, I usually polish my shoes, and we often spend time outdoors if the weather is nice. Saturday evenings we usually get together with family or friends, or go see a movie. Sundays, get up, go...

    For Queen and First Lady, Bush Will Try White Tie

    As far as I know, the last top hat to see the inside of the White House was Kennedy's.

    For Queen and First Lady, Bush Will Try White Tie

    Here's a closer shot. Good Lord, he's wearing a turndown collar. :eek: Can you say, "ill-at-ease?" Here's one accessory, at least, that looks good. Notice the contrast between the two men's tail suits: Prince Philip's jacket, waistcoat, and trousers are all much higher-cut...

    For Queen and First Lady, Bush Will Try White Tie

    Unfortunately, it isn't so. There was only one white-tie State dinner in the Clinton administration, one or two during Bush 41's term, and perhaps a handful during Reagan's presidency. There is a reception for the US diplomatic corps at the beginning of each Presidential term that was...

    gent's attire tutorial for the ladies?

    Sorry, I should have been clearer: I meant the modern ones I see are 33' or 34'.
