    Show us your SHOES !!!

    Yep. The R.M.S. 'Queen Mary' has on display a poster-sized photo of Churchill visiting the ship. Sure enough, he wore those shoes on board.

    Show us your British suits

    Hooray! I spoke with Annamarie and encouraged her to start making 0.5-inch buttonhole openings for the Duke shirts' French cuffs. She agreed.

    Show us your British suits

    Thanks, Cookie and Chasseur! Yes, the flapper with the chrome yellow hair is none other than Annamarie Von Firley, the owner/head of reVamp. (She is also the person who actually sat at a sewing machine and made your Duke shirt!)

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

    Thanks! I just can't remember if the brim was that narrow when I sold the hat. Only Mr_Misanthropy could say for sure.

    Finally!

    The latter. I'm hoping so for the sake of Loungers who don't fit into most vintage '30s clothing, can't afford the few vintage pieces that do fit, and aren't finding any modern equivalents in stores.

    For menswear? Yes.

    Finally!

    Didn't mean to. On a side note, it's interesting (and weird?) that the "Mad Men" phenom has done just about nothing to help the vintage '60s suit market. For the past five years, eBay and Etsy have had scores of vintage late '50s-early '60s suits and sportcoats come and go without a single bid.

    Men's New Evening Jan. 16, 1939

    In the 1930s, Filipino/African-American/Chicano/Nisei (male) Lindyhoppers sometimes wore a variation of this at the Savoy Ballroom and other venues. Their very high-waisted wool or rayon trousers had built-in or detachable 'overall' straps, made in the same fabric as the trousers. In fact...

    Finally!

    If only it were "Mad Men" that had brought the style back! The 'look' would have been around for only five years. Alas, it was designer Thom Browne, not "Mad Men", who brought narrow lines to the ready-to-wear fore in 2004. In other words, we've had nearly eight years of this stuff. No...

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

    I knew that hat looked familiar. Was mine for a short while, and then I sold it to Lounger Mr_Misanthropy. And no, I wasn't the one who cut the brim. :p http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?61908-FS-Vintage-20s-30s-Grey-Stetson&p=1394849&viewfull=1#post1394849
