    The Jonathan Club (a town club in Los Angeles, est. 1895) has a rule: cell phones cannot be used anywhere in the club except inside the club building's old indoor phone booths.

    You're right, but it seems the only logical term that can be extrapolated from "Blu-Ox". Unless it means blue oxen. ;)

    . Honestly, the moccasin golf shoe practically deserves a thread of its own. Almost singlehandedly, golf legend Bobby Jones made this shoe a hit in the late 1920s. Jones found the moccasin shoe more comfortable to wear on the links than heavy wingtip bluchers and saddle shoes. In a very...

    My guess is that it's an acronym for "Blucher-Oxford".

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

    . Thank you very much for this information! You've inspired me to dig deeper. Here's a Los Angeles Times ad from January 20, 1936. If the Oviatt fedora on eBay is indeed from the 1940s, then it can't be a Knox, period. All I can say for sure about the hat is that it's post-1934, since...

    . It's an old one for sure. My guess is 1920 at the latest, probably earlier.

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

    The reason why I think it's probably (though not indubitably) a Knox is that James Oviatt had a 'special relationship' with the company. In 1907, right after arriving in Southern California, Oviatt got a job as a clerk/windowdresser at the newly opened 'Knox the Hatter' store in downtown Los...

    They're great shoes, but I'm not surprised that they went cheap: the seller failed to put the word "vintage" in either the title or the description, and he/she didn't insert the auction in this category: Clothing, Shoes & Accessories >Vintage >Men's Vintage Shoes >Dress Shoes Result? Unless a...

    Not sure. Alexander & Oviatt imported all of their woolens --including Shetland wool-- from England, Scotland, Ireland, etc., but manufactured their suits and sportcoats in Los Angeles. An inspection of the suit should help me to answer your question. I'll be receiving the suit today or...
