    Early 60s Shark Skin?

    I pulled the leg as I took this shot with a flash, to see if I could show how movement makes it shine. Doesn't really show it, but still.

    Do you eat vintage?

    I'm sure they're out there. I never really look for it, I like tempeh, seitan and tofu too much to be bothered. These two are interesting: http://www.oldnewark.com/memories/thirdward/bodianideal.htm http://vegetariancuisine.suite101.com/article.cfm/two_historic_vegetarian_main_course_recipes

    Early 60s Shark Skin?

    Hmm. It looks like the fabric itself is shiny, and this is enhanced by its weave. It's a very tight weave of what look roughly like sideways "x"s. It's sort of like if someone is wearing a checked pair of pants and are moving, the colors tend to blur together. That "blur" is the shine in...

    Any idea about this blazer?

    I don't know about the vintage of it..but I'd scoop it up in a heartbeat.

    Early 60s Shark Skin?

    I have a brown early 60's sharkskin suit. It is shiny. That's about the only thing different than any other material, as far as I can tell.

    How much would you pay..

    for a pretty mint looking whippet? I am in love with the hat and want to know how much the average price for one seems to be?

    New use for an old cigarette case

    I hold money in mine when I don't feel like holding my beaten to death, bulky wallet.

    Do you eat vintage?

    I don't really see what the point of that is... I eat what tastes good.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    My eyes are on her, if you're speaking of the one I think you are (bound black brim?)

    Is this a common symptom of hatacosis???

    I would agree with you. Claiming it secular is certainly lending itself to a religious (or lack thereof) precedent. And I think a defining characteristic of a true revolution is a unique hat. Le bonnet rouge, the tricorne, the sombrero..and of course the obligatory Che Beret.

    The Aviation Cocktail

    As has been stated previously, definitely don't substitute maraschino cherries and expect a similar taste. Interesting article, related very much so: http://jscms.jrn.columbia.edu/cns/2007-11-13/troiano-maraschino

    Is this a common symptom of hatacosis???

    Relating to your article but not hats: Are you including the EZLN's uprising as part of the Mexican Revolution (I know some sociologists do). If so, should be an interesting read, since they believe that, for the revolution to be effective, it must be secular. Compared y contrasted and all.

    Defiance a WWII true story Dec. 12th

    I realize she isn't your grandmother, but would you mind sharing some of those stories? It's sad that they won't be around much longer.

    Fur coats?

    I personally don't like the look, regardless of moral/ethical connotations. I think it's rather in-your-face bourgeois, reminiscent of Mr. Burns or Scrooge. However, if it works for you, it works for you. Magnoli's coat is attractive, and the man he posted can pull it off well enough.

    Why is the Bum Look Popular? (formally the unemployed look)

    Whoa whoa whoa now. No need to lot tattoos in with a bad sense of style. Tattoos are works of art. Not shaving is a matter of laziness.

    lots of jacket types circa 1942

    Dirt or oil stained denim!

    And we owe it all to the Fedora Lounge!

    If you do have children, I see that ethereal "signing the papers" picture being one passed down the line for a long time. It's beautiful.
