Cheap suit!
Cheap Suits: How to I.D.? Funny story, Matei! Hats off to you for having the nerve to tell it. :eusa_clap Question for Loungers: For "suit newbies" like myself, there are plenty of great threads on F.L. about what to look for. What are the subtleties of what to avoid in a vintage...- Cousin Hepcat

If anyones interested the book is "House & Garden's Complete Guide to Interior Decoration", really good, includes floor furniture layouts (which I mainly got the book for), scale & proportion, everything, 1942. (sometimes you have to go "by the book" to get away from a "tacky flea market...- Cousin Hepcat

Henry, These are all from a 1942 book so there's nothing after 42; they're probably in fact mostly from the 1930's. This should generate some ideas so you can come up with something original & unique or your own, but with a distinctive 1930s - early 40s dignity...- Cousin Hepcat

Need SwingDance photo book
Seeking a nice coffee table type book of pictures of swing dancers. Preferrably original 1930s-40s photos, but could be modern also. Is there such a thing? Or would you have to collect pics yourself off the web , print, & bind? If not, where can one find pics in any form of original...- Cousin Hepcat

My cheerful discussion...
Great thread idea! Ditto music & good deeds. Also, finding you have the courage to take the first steps towards a total complete career change (i.e. possibly starting all over in school again)... And that terminally cute German young lady who's started even asking other folks to move...- Cousin Hepcat

Your favorite toys as a kid?
Yup - Legos, Legos, Legos. Even combined some of the old "expert builder sets" with gears, with a synchronous AC motor & color-striped flourescent tube clear cylinder cover, to make a color wheel for the '80s 45 jukebox a few years back. TRANSFORMERS! The version they made that actually...- Cousin Hepcat

Radio and Phonograph
Second that. Look for "Califone" and "audiotronics" and "rheem". Can't reccomend the repros: But if you do buy one, try to buy one at a store where you can return it if need be. Several friends I know bought one either not working out of the box, or just stopped playing (in the middle of a...- Cousin Hepcat

Fave radio crooner?
Thanks Root - cross-referencing their Bing discography from that website for a set of titles from the 30s with Title searches on Amazon, came up with this CD - just about every one's a winner, over half I'd put on a "must have" list, and its got that Killer Diller track, "Bob White": Man don't...- Cousin Hepcat

Share your favourite Jazz
Ramble On, Doc, that's what this joint is for - yep, Fantasy's (still available?) vinyl LP reissue of Chet's Riverside LP of fantastic cool late-night ballads, "Chet" - great... Yeah Topcat, Ben Webster... and Jackie Gleason's slow late-40s-feeling ballads with Bobby Hackett's trumpet...- Cousin Hepcat
