Adjustment Bureau Movie
Apparently the mind-control Fedoras for WOMEN have had some bugs... I suspect Lindsay Lohan was given at least one which lacked full testing. -

Shipboard Fedoras
I'm guessing they're going to or from Catalina Island. You could almost get the idea they have some serious "business" to "take care of." -

Long-sleeved shirts cut to short-sleeve: Impractical?
That's great... I had just about talked myself out of it. In the meantime, I had imagined a Harold Lloyd-type scene of returning to the tailor just before leaving for the big summer picnic, and finding the sleeves have been shortened, but with the cuffs and buttons retained and moved up above...- Espee

Long-sleeved shirts cut to short-sleeve: Impractical?
In the low-end places where I shop, I keep running into shirts which have what I consider "a great pattern for a summer-outing SHORT-sleeved shirt" (stripes, fairly bright colors) and then I realize I'm looking at a long-sleeved shirt. I tend to run a little on the warm side... Is there always...- Espee

Sports shirt with sewn compartment in pocket
I believe it's Arrow that is selling "Heritage Twill" sports shirts, a lot of them in what I'd call autumn colors. I noticed a seam dividing the pocket vertically-- making a space just about big enough for a medium-long pencil. And at the top is a mock buttonhole. There's no button... So...- Espee

Reactions when you first start wearing brimmed hats.
I almost expect something like the following to appear on this thread: "I was walking in a crowd of people and suddenly a voice yelled out 'Wow what a great hat!'....... soon people were looking at me and pointing and gathering around me... it was so embarrassing.... I was almost sorry I... -

Bow Ties
I guess to avoid the "I'll bet he tied it himself, because his face is red and he has sweat stains under his arms" look. I have three pretied-- #1 from when I was a timid beginner, #2 and #3 because they were useful colors "and they were practically giving them away." I have one which I...- Espee

Vintage Style Reference in Vernacular Photographs
Anybody remember this from TV? Around 1990, on a public television station, I saw a show made up of "local events" footage (South Dakota? North Dakota?) circa 1937. A cinema owner, who had a good movie camera outfit, lensed the parades, athletic contests, school pageants, etc. and presented...- Espee

Bow Ties
I just found a Penney's with one of their tie racks devoted to Izod bowties. They were tied (but very casually and not sewn.) They have a T-hook for length adjustment and a J-hook to put on/take off. So if you want to, you can tie them once the way want them and use the J-hook from then on...- Espee

Bow Ties
Learning to tie a bow tie, using diagrams and a couple of videos, I was frustrated by something that wasn't being mentioned. I could sort-of-do-it, but my knot was much too big in relation to the "sides" or "wings" or whatever. Eventually I realized that I couldn't possibly have a small knot--...- Espee

Bow Ties
Around here, Burlington stores have 6-8 varieties of pre-tied over with the formal vests etc. Not much selection, but very inexpensive. Kohl's was carrying some pre-tied by Chaps in 2009, but they worked their way over to the 80% Off area after a while, and they weren't replenished. Nordstrom...- Espee

Custom shirts
Lately I watched several circa 1930 movies (mostly Laurel and Hardy) where the majority of the male actors were wearing plain shirts, but with wingtip collars. Today we generally see wingtip collars on tuxedo shirts with ruffled or patterned fronts. In those films, fellows working in offices...- Espee
