    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I'm sold on that Stetson Nostalgia.

    The return of the NKVD overcoat

    Oh i know they are still in use in some places (state troopers, some police dress uniforms, the Spanish Legion, etc) but overwhelmingly I'd say they are associated with that painting of Hitler in the brown shirt infront of the crowd, or give off some sort of fascist undertone. I think they look...

    The return of the NKVD overcoat

    A police officer is a figure of authority and should look the part. Alot of the modern uniforms look downright ridiculous. I remember the videos of that cop in Maryland who'd harass people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hxOr3q7nrk (this guy). How can anyone take that seriously? The guy looks...

    How popular is the fedora in 2011? Are hats seeing a resurgance finally?

    I definitely give you credit- the UK and Ireland tend to be far less receptive of this. You'll get more stares or rude/patronizing comments. And this is from people dressed in the most ugly, tasteless clothing. I notice people will wear hoodies or stocking caps well beyond their season here but...

    William Dudley Pelley & the 1936 Monty-Ward catalog

    I believe the silver shirts didn't just use campaign hats, but something akin to the peaked cap or the field cap that was all the rage among political uniforms in the time. I know alot of folks into that music who come to know Evola through that- if you really want someone who's probably more...

    How popular is the fedora in 2011? Are hats seeing a resurgance finally?

    true, everytime its winter or we've got rain my friends/coworkers are running for cover, grabbing grocery bags or using shirts as makeshift baraclavas, while i'm always bone dry on account of a fedora and a .. rain coat. I can understand why some people do away with hats, but what makes no...

    William Dudley Pelley & the 1936 Monty-Ward catalog

    To my knowledge Devi pretty much always had the same bent, if i recall she was very young during the war- and Evola too, he never really wholeheartedly embraced fascism or whatnot, its why the SS was watching him despite his connections with some figures in both governments. I've read virtually...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I see alot of people posting felts here, perhaps i should have made a thread regarding this but how strongly did people hold onto the Straw hat day rule back in the day? in say, 1925 would wearing a felt hat at this time in the year (in the northern hemisphere, that is) be considered strange?

    Men's Sandals

    I've heard stories about soldiers collapsing from heat strokes rather than remove their jackets in the war. really quite astonishing considering most folks today would rather wear shorts sandals and a t shirt year round if it were possible. And Widebrim- yes they carried it off well, and i...

    William Dudley Pelley & the 1936 Monty-Ward catalog

    I'm familiar with the silvershirts, and some of the people who followed Pelley, but unfortunately cant' help you here. I've actually looked alot online over the past few years for a picture to get an idea of what the uniform looked like. The one picture i know of Pelley has him in a sharp suit...

    Vintage Shorts

    Thats all well and good but most of the folks i see wearing shorts .. don't have muscular anything AT ALL , they are pasty white potbellies who are just dishevelled. Granted, if you've got a muscular physique i can understand that a little differently. Arnold actually turned all his pants into...

    Men's Sandals

    There was an excuse there, they were fighting in the tropics and the like. Any photos of the armies in Rhodesia and SA also show them wearing shorts, but once again, it makes sense given the circumstances. I highly doubt most of the folks around here in nyc are fighting the Bush War or exerting...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I was pleased a nearby restaurant actually has a coat and hat checkout despite not being over the top ritzy. I appreciate things like that. Its so sad going to a nice restaurant and seeing people in shorts, t shirts, wife beaters, ball caps unremoved. atmosphere killer.

    Men's Sandals

    I'm not feeling the bermuda shorts look. Last time i saw them before that picture was jurassic park, and that character wasn't played particularly sympathetically. It looks ridiculous.

    The Mummy clothes

    I think most movies today especially that are period pieces or meant to take place in a "world of hats" tend to always keep the main character hat free. I noticed this in Dark City, the 1989 Batman, and other films, where all the characters around the main character will be wearing a hat and...

    Three piece suits

    Well i'd honestly almost never shop for a suit out of a store, i get most of my stuff online, but i've seen three piece suits at Macy's and Kohls. Yes, Kohl's actually has three piece, spring suits in tan and cream colors. I don't know the material but they don't look half bad either, and aren't...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    at a restaurant last night with coworkers since its one's last day. Its the new stetson panama model, i forget the exact one, i believe i posted about it last year when i got it. I normally would take it off indoors but there was absolutely no place to put it down so i had to wear it. The place...

    Three piece suits

    I have to say i absolutely agree with what was said earlier in this thread regarding heating and AC. I recall going to university in winter here in NYC in a suit and overcoat and by the time i was in the classroom i was dripping with sweat on account of the jungle temperature. In the summer...

    Hair cuts

    thanks for the advice- i'd say royal crown is the best go to- everything else i've tried has been sub par- but i don't even bother with pomade in the summer, its simply not worth it.
