    What are you wearing today??

    Griemersma...this is also my typical winter wear when running around after work or on the weekends. Lately, it's been cold & messy. Temps in the low 20s (F) & plenty of snow. Lots & Pendleton/Levis/Chippewa boots/newsboy days for me lately. My biggest wardrobe weakness, however, is a quality...

    Belts and Belt Buckles

    I'm wondering if anyone knows of a source for a thin belt in brown...other than rockabillybelts.com. In my opinion, theirs are a bit too flimsy.

    houndstooth suit?

    Resortes305: Yeah, well done!!! You pull it off quite well...the pants look quite high-waisted...just right. I also have a blue one like this I am waiting for to ship. To me this says, "I'm styling, but not trying too hard." I haven't yet received the one I pictured. I am afraid it may...

    How many own a vintage suit?

    I think you will find much better homes for these items here at the FL than at Goodwill. I am certainly interested to hear what you have.

    Share your favourite Jazz

    When I got up this morning, my "favorite" artist was Art Tatum. Then it was Charlie Christian for a few hours. Tonight I've been listening to Slam Stewart's late '40s combos...I think he is my favorite. Maybe.

    30's~40's Work Boots

    I also have the Chippewas...I polish them brown & they look real nice. The polish gives the color some depth.

    Shoe Repair

    I just dropped off a pair for resoling at the cobber in my neighborhood. Although I live in AE's hometown, with a few retail locations, I have yet to take any of my shoes there. My impression, possibly mistaken, is that it would be significantly more expensive there than the local cobbler...

    Wow! Mulligan is usually a bit too modern for my flavor...but he is quite tasty here. Big Ben always has something to say.

    Another recent purchase from Ebay that I'm hoping fits. Houndstooth is very important on my casual days.

    Allen Edmonds Shoes...

    Musician...although I don't perform as regularly as I once. I've found that fronting a jump blues band 6 nights a week does not compliment my role as father to two challenging young boys!

    The City Verus The Burbs

    I just stumbled upon this thread but want to resurrect it. I am most certainly a city mouse. I grew up in the suburbs, but became a city kid when I went to a Jesuit high school near downtown Milwaukee. I loved the energy I felt down there. With a population of 600,000 Milwaukee is great...

    Allen Edmonds Shoes...

    I'm really excited about my latest win: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=019&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=290068220013&rd=1&rd=1#ebayphotohosting I'm crazy about this "Chestnut" color...I've got a pair of AE in the same color, model "Dryden" that I wear quite...

    Straw in this season

    I read somewhere in the news the other day that 2007 will be the warmest year in history. Right now it is 25 degrees in Milwaukee...no straw for me!

    Flat caps

    I now can see the images on my computer at home, but alas, in 20 years of cap wearing I have not seen a source for these.

    Flat caps

    Welcome...and a very good question. However, your image is not appearing and it's difficult to picture exactly what you are looking for.

    Great collection of photos...they sure don't look like a happy bunch of farmers, do they?

    Show us your suits

    Just won this suit for $8.99 It looks EARLY 1950s to me. I'm not sure it will fit, but for the price I think I can take a chance. I hope the condition is as good as the pictures look.
