    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    Oops! I will correct the problem. Thanks for the encouragment!

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    I have been wanting both a vintage wristwatch and a vintage pocket watch, and I found both last month at an antique shop. 1967 Bulova automatic; runs quite well, keeps excellent time. Westclox "Bull's Eye" pocket watch, unsure of date. It needs a crystal and a chain, but both can...

    Make me #3 in size shock.

    What are you listening to?

    "Libiamo Ne' Lieti Calici," Maria Callas. I have no idea who is singing Alfredo.

    Suede Dress Gloves

    What do you think of lining them with silk? Would this affect the "second skin" fit?

    Suede Dress Gloves

    Well, to my luck, I have found Chester Jefferies. Would a model such as this work? http://www.chesterjefferies.co.uk/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=53 I know it's capeskin, but that isn't really an issue (is it?) I like that they are only twenty-five pounds and for seven pounds more I can have...

    Suede Dress Gloves

    Yes, but I also must think in terms of availability. Grey suede (or grey smooth leather) is far more readily available than yellow chamois.

    One lucky son of a gun!

    I picked up two vintage timepieces today. First, a mechanical Westclox "Bulls Eye" pocket watch in working condition and it is keeping time well so far. It needs a crystal and a chain, but both of those things can be sourced quite easily. Then I found a Bulova automatic, also working and keeping...

    Modern Silk Topper?

    If the wedding occurs, I will be cousin to the bride. She knows abut morning dress (thanks to moi) and she will likely have the men in each family wear morning dress, or at least strollers (black lounge in BrE I think?) at my urging (she and I are close enough for me to give advice in matters...

    Modern Silk Topper?

    Hm, if I do indeed need one, I will save for the Christy's melusine topper with the extra height. But, since the event would indeed be a wedding, I may just get a vintage topper on eBay and then just carry the thing as you said, then either keep or rebay it. I will indeed stay away from the...

    When does a gentleman fight back?

    Indeed!

    When does a gentleman fight back?

    Yes on both counts.

    When does a gentleman fight back?

    Seconded! I only add the following: If I were to see a defenseless person being attacked, I would certainly intervene, especially if the victim happened to be a woman or a child, as I assume most if not all true gentlemen would. Like you, my size has kept people from trying anything with me. The...

    Modern Silk Topper?

    Just my luck to be have such a huge head.:eusa_doh: I suppose for morning dress at least, I will go sans hat.

    Modern Silk Topper?

    Well, I have time to wait. Even if I do have the opportunity to wear morning dress, it won't be for at least a year. So I'll hunt eBay, and pray that they have one in my size.

    Modern Silk Topper?

    Yes, but were I able to find a vintage plush silk topper, would it be appropriate?

    Modern Silk Topper?

    So for morning dress (which I may have the opportunity to wear if everything works out the way I hope it does) I'm stuck with felt? I have seen some 7 5/8 vintage toppers, but I doubt that they would work for my size. If I should, by luck or divine intervention, find a proper vintage silk plush...

    Modern Silk Topper?

    I thought they weren't made anymore. Is this a scam? If this is a genuine silk topper, I may just have to get one when funding permits (quite some time:eusa_doh: ) since I cannot go vintage due to having a size 8 head.:rage: http://uniformalwearhouse.com/apages/tuxedoahats.html (scroll down)

    Suede Dress Gloves

    Can anyone recommend a place to get budget-friendly grey suede dress gloves (preferably unlined) for morning dress? If at all possible, I would rather not spend over fifty dollars. The only grey gloves that I can find in my price range are nylon, and while they are tempting given their...

    Sheer Excitement!

    I thought I'd give everyone the scoop. I went stag (she didn't RSVP) and wore a tan blazer, navy slacks, white/blue check shirt, red paisley tie, black split toes, black belt, navy/white/lighter blue/red argyle socks, Argyll and Sutherland watchband on silver w/ white face watch, and a light...
