    Pajamas in public...

    Incidentally (and this is 100% true): W.C. Fields ordered one of these (in terrycloth) for himself. Can you imagine what he must have looked like in it?

    Vintage Hunting + Los Angeles = Vintage Celebrities' Clothing

    I don't remember what I had for breakfast either, but I've got a good memory for prices paid.

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

    The winner's feedback number is set at "private", which makes me think that he/she might be European, possibly German.

    $20 Suit

    . For decades, America's two 'top tier' ready-to-wear suitmakers were Oxxford Clothes and Southwick. This natural-shoulder sack suit (Southwick's house style) is a very well made example, with lots of handwork inside and out. The cut and silhouette are so classic, they'll probably never go...

    Question: "Public Enemies" Fedora

    Sure do. Brim width: 2 1/4 inches. Height of open crown: 6 1/4 inches. Height of teardrop bashed crown: 5 1/16 inches. Width of ribbon: 1 7/8 inches. Hope this helps!

    A woven rayon/acetate blend, I reckon.

    Question about spats

    Yes, other materials were used. The most typical 'three-season' material was a dense, 'boiled' wool felt. For summer spats, thick Irish linen was sometimes used.

    Show us your suits

    With one exception: Bill Clinton wore double-breasted suits during the 1992 presidential campaign, and sometimes in his first term. Dwight D. Eisenhower sometimes wore double-breasted suits during his first presidential term as well ... but by his second term, he pretty much stuck to...

    Question: "Public Enemies" Fedora

    . Here is a vintage 1930s oxblood fedora, size 7 1/2, that I sold on eBay a few months back. Pretty darn close to Depp's "Public Enemies" fedora ... and yet, it wasn't even won by a Lounger. Didn't go for much money, either. [huh] If you wish, TomS, please feel free to use the images below...

    Formal Shirt

    Yep ... unless the wearer has a short neck, in which case a low collar would be better.

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

    The seller listed it as a milan, but it looks to be a leghorn IMO.

    The Artist

    The answer is yes, and there's a big reason why. "The Artist" is very much a movie about the movies. The Academy's voters love that, since they're movie industry people themselves.

    The Cap Faction

    Or ... the snaps on that particular cap, in that particular photo, could indeed be off-center. It always surprises me how many of the vintage 1920s-'30s caps I've seen and owned --even the better-quality ones-- have snaps that are off-center. (Not very off-kilter, but enough for the...

    Show us your suits

    I agree that this suit is early '50s, or 1949 at the earliest. Its style is a milder, more conservative version of the 'Bold Look': something that Harry Truman or Dwight D. Eisenhower might have worn in office. I disagree that "a simple snap button closure, and a zipper" indicate that the...

    $25,000 Levi's Horsehide 30's Jacket

    The seller is 'asking' for even more than $25,000 ... since there's a reserve on it!

    Large Grey Knox 20 Custom Edge 7 5/8

    The reason why I sell things on eBay rather than on Etsy (or here, for that matter) is that I'm terrible at pricing my merchandise. I've never really gotten the hang of how to peg a proper dollar amount on my stuff. Hence, I let the market itself --in other words, the auctions' bidders--...
