    Shell cordovan shoes

    Yeah, I kinda expected the dealer didn't know what he talking about before I bid. But I was hoping, nonetheless. I figured the price was right, anyway. The shoes are brand new and not factory seconds.

    R&B

    Thanks, Jerome. Playing for cats like you is always fun! The funny thing is, there were loads of people back in '93 that didn't know the difference between our jump/R&B stylings & rockabilly. They saw us dressed sharp & with an upright bass and associated it with rockabilly. Then a couple of...

    Shell cordovan shoes

    I also just won a pair of wingtips on ebay of AE in "cordovan"...or not. Once delivered, I discovered that the seller did not know the difference between the color & the leather. I kindly tutored him in the differences in hides, which was all brand new to him. I'm not that upset as I still...

    R&B

    Today on my R&B playlist: Duke Henderson "Get Your Kicks" cd on the Delmark label. Great west coast sound from 1945 with a Jimmy Witherspoonesque vocal delivery from Henderson. A collection of tenor players includes Jack McVea, Wild Bill Moore & Lucky Thompson. Mostly slower blues with a few...

    It's gotta be the shoes!

    My New Summer Suit

    The label is a bit goofy. But have you seen lapels like this or dropped belt loops on a '60s suit before?

    My New Summer Suit

    I did creams & browns, so I took a chance that this one may fit. I am afraid the pants length may come up short, but it sounds like something my tailor may be able to play with...

    jeans and shoes with Aero Half Belt

    I believe these jeans would do the trick. https://host385.ipowerweb.com/~indyprop/osCommerce/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=25&products_id=118&osCsid=e3a8d9cdfb1daf56cb0cd4e12c31f629

    Hepster Dictionary

    Mezz Mezzrow obviously recorded his own version...he certainly was no great shakes as a singer. My favorite take on it is by Stuff Smith with Jonah Jones.

    Hollywood Jackets

    Once again Flat Top, absolutely wonderful!!! It looks like it is something special without looking like it's trying too hard. I'm like Reet on this one, I'll take the subtlety of the pre-rock and roll extreme jackets. I certainly do not mind standing out, but don't feel the need for the...

    30s-50s British Suit Trouser photo resource

    This will be a very informative topic, as I feel my British knowledge is very limited.

    R&B

    This may fall under the category of "influential to the creators of R&B" because the term had not been coined yet when they were at their peak, but I'm a huge fan of the vocal groups such as the Mills Bros., Ink Spots, the Brown Dots, Cats & a Fiddle, & the Three Peppers, etc. Today I'm...

    SOLD: 30's-40's houndstooth suit

    I, too,would have very quick with the last one if the measurements had been better for me. I am very curious to see what else you have. I am very appreciative when FL members throw their items out here first.

    What are you wearing today??

    Today I look live my avatar. It's a gab suit, estimated '49 to '52 or so. Perhaps the nicest drape of any gab I own. The color of the suit is stone gray. I haven't worn this suit all winter. I'm wearing the same tie...late '40s/early '50s tie (Phillips Clothing Company, Miami)...palm tree...

    The Hollywood Waist-

    Yesser! I believe these pants (as well as Magnoli's new denims) are headed to me in Milwaukee as we speak. I will review them for all when they arrive. Thanks again, Indy!

    Ever heard of the Major Jim Goodson Limited Edition A-2 ?

    Wolf, I'm glad to hear it! I'm sure it will be wearable provided it fits.

    30's Barbering

    Hey Al, It's nice to see a barber 'round here that knows what he's doing. That sound a lot like the cut I've had for the last 15+ years. This is why I'm very particular about choosing a barber. I train him once, then get the same old cut every few weeks. I've never received a cut outside...

    Businessman's wardrobe

    I just wanted to add that the lovely Mrs. Kools made my day by ordering a Custom Hide "scholar" briefcase for me. Thanks to the FL for pointing her in the right direction.

    Questions for Paddy on getting an Aero

    THAT is a jacket I would certainly like to have. Though I could wear an A2, I have no real military interest. Man, that leather looks nice!
