    Pencil Mustache

    . I believe that the pencil mustache evolved from the smallish, pointy-ended mustache favored in the late 'teens and early '20s. Adolphe Menjou wore the pointy mustache for most of his long screen career; Douglas Fairbanks Sr.'s first mustache was similar to Menjou's, but not for long...

    FOR SALE Large Stetson Cap. I believe to be vintage

    . It's vintage, but no earlier than 1980s IMO.

    Me too, but they put only one advert for that sportcoat in the Los Angeles Times: back view only, alas. Maybe it wasn't a big hit.

    You're right; I see it now. As you said before, it's hard to sell from the drawing whether the Roos Bros. sportcoat has a normal armhole-seam at the back. (Does anyone but the two of us find these things remotely interesting?)

    I believe that the 1935 Roos Bros. sportcoat does have a normal armhole at the front, yes ... but perhaps not a seam running down the outside of the sleeve.

    Nope, it's not a movie wardrobe anomaly. In fact, a version was sold to the public in Los Angeles as early as March 14, 1935:

    You're right ... but tell that to American shoe companies in the 1930s. From the Los Angeles Times, March 21, 1938:

    "Reconstructing History" banner ad

    I was all for this in 2006, and I'll all for it now. Makes a lot of sense. All voluntary, of course.

    "Reconstructing History" banner ad

    . I feel it's fine. The Fedora Lounge needs money for its operational costs, and Loungers aren't offering to make any monetary donations to it. Banner ads are a way to keep the joint from folding. If "RRL", "Mister Freedom" and "reVamp" aren't calling but "Reconstructing History" is, then...

    Hey, I found these only after the second auction had ended. I have this masochistic tendency to look at finished auctions. :(

    Then this is going to kill you. They're a size 8 1/2. The first time on eBay, they didn't get a single bid at a starting price of $22.49! The second time around, there was only ONE bidder! Here...
