    There are various types of work caps from back then. The one shown in the picture is commonly worn by engineers, but I'm sure lots of other tradesmen wore them as well. The more rounded top version is associated with welding. Here is a modern repro example:

    One of my favorite Hitchcock films! I would guess either blue or gray....sort of what you would call business casual back then?

    Even a repro with the Stifel dots fabric will cost a bit of scratch. I think you need 2.5 yards of fabric for shirt. My tailor will pop a shirt off for me for about $100. Plus finding buttons will run about $150+.

    I couldn't wear a shirt that cost $1,000...I'd shred it for sure. Good repro is the way to go.

    Didn't get to go, but I've seen some pics of the event on another site. Looked like a great event and I hope they have it again next year.

    You'd have a problem wearing the BRMC logo around here on a leather jacket...looks too much like the Outlaw MC logo.

    Well said! I did very much the same thing...luckily selling off a bunch of BC Ethic stuff at it's peak. I've owned off an on some loud 50's stuff, but really prefer flap pocket gabs, hollywood pants and hawaiian shirts. I have some of the J. Crew chambrays, but I wear them to my office job on...

    Yup, scarcity is still creating some value. Gone are the days of over $100 for a large gab flap pocket shirt.

    It was even't a decade ago...about three years ago, you could still get crazy money for 50's stuff.

    Not a real fan of the lace-up denim, but it is definitely based on a pre WWII style USN denim pant. I have a couple of pieces of the Mister Freedom line and they are fantastic, but the price is outer limits.

    I would like to add "American Pickers" to the list of shows that are ruining vintage...
