    1920s Summer Dress Shoes on Etsy

    They are cool, and they would sell if dated correctly -- but not at that price, or even half of it.

    1920s Summer Dress Shoes on Etsy

    They've been popping up all over eBay for many months, and always at outrageous prices (for what they really are).

    God yes. Slicked back hair or dry?

    1920s Summer Dress Shoes on Etsy

    They are nice, but the stacked heel and wafer sole show that these shoes are from the late 1970s -- the tail end of the disco era. Here's a link to another late '70s shoe for comparison...

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    Then again, immigrants have always taken the lowest-paying jobs.

    BOTH SIDES OF THE TWEED! - Show us your tweed suits, sport coats and pants

    . Frank Lloyd Wright's is eerily similar to a suit worn by Jimmy Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life" -- right down to the type of tweed and the shape of the lapels: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm493328384/ch0004658 http://www.imdb.com/media/rm476551168/tt0038650

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

    Nope. And considering how few Loungers expressed any interest in it, we can't be surprised that it hasn't turned up since.

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    I understand this feeling. Living in Chile in 1998 was, in many ways, like living in the 1950s-era United States -- at least for someone in my demographic. That's not to glorify Chile's (awful) recent past or messy present; I'm just saying that I got a taste of a world not yet consumed by...

    Read and understood. As a fellow Old Boy who also studied Latin in school, I will stand back and obsta principiis vacuus oleum addere camino. (My Latin is rusty.)

    What's insulting about this question? How could I know for certain whether you had or not -- without asking first?

    Ever heard of the phoenix myth? Or perhaps "Slouching Toward Bethlehem" would be more apropos.

    Cool (But Sold) eBay Stuff

    Yes to all counts. (Though slash pockets actually date back to the 19th century, and went out of fashion in the early 1900s -- except on western wear).

    Cool (But Sold) eBay Stuff

    Yours has many elements of the '60s-revival suits and sportcoats being sold everywhere these days ... but I think that this suit really is from the '60s. Then again, it could a modern suit by a tailor whose signature style (like Jack Taylor's, in Beverly Hills) has hardly evolved since the '60s.

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    So so much of this --all over the U.S.-- has to do with our country's drug culture, which has permeated every race, age, and socioeconomic group. Americans are such massive consumers of illegal drugs that a whole country (Mexico) has violently converted itself into one giant supplier.

    I remember a saying from my childhood: "My country, right or wrong." I always felt it sounded better as: "My country, righting wrongs."

    Super Harris Tweed Herringbone Smoky Blue Sportcoat 44?

    I'd be happy to, in any case. From what I've seen, eBay and Etsy buyers are most enthusiastic these days about: -- Three-piece tweed suits; below that, two-piece. Preferably bespoke, Harris Tweed, Isle-of-Man, and/or unusual (usually colorful) tweeds: certain Donegals, herringbones...
