    Strange 1946 Anderson and Sheppard jacket

    . That's bloody amazing. Made for a professor, the label says! I live for oddities like this.

    The Cap Faction

    Are you the guy who got the seller of the deadstock Malrov cap to accept a BIN? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250971450437#ht_1929wt_1398

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

    Yep. Wasn't me, though I reckon it was another Lounger (Johnny J?) First time I've ever seen a "weaseled-in" BIN deal on eBay for a vintage newsboy cap. Figures: deadstock with original tags, great condition, good size.

    This or That

    . Gruen, although I'd choose Juvenia over it. Pot roast or meatloaf?

    The Cap Faction

    That guy in the picture is a caricature of Aristide Briand, a French statesman who served eleven terms as Prime Minister of France during the French Third Republic and received the 1926 Nobel Peace Prize. Here is M. Briand in 1916, sans casquette:

    The Cap Faction

    . Did a Lounger win this auction? Went for $10. The brown donegal tweed cap (size 7 1/4) is probably from the 1940s (IMO), maybe older: http://www.ebay.com/itm/250966780599

    Square toe shoes

    . Square toes have been in and out of fashion for centuries. In 20th century America, they were big among the college crowd in the late '20s. Then, in the '30s and '40s, they became more keystone-shaped (the "French box-toe"). Among African-Americans, Latinos and Filipino-Americans, the...

    How do you deal with Ebay sellers?

    . Another question. How do you do deal with eBay buyers? Answer: you don't. eBay and Paypal won't let you.

    Malta's oldest working prostitute turns 100

    Let's just say that there's another article on the same website: http://bisserjeta.hsara.com/2011/12/tom-cruise-moves-into-presidents-palace-converts-him-to-scientology/

    Malta's oldest working prostitute turns 100

    She's not a real prostitute. It's a fun fake story.

    Malta's oldest working prostitute turns 100

    Nice to see that her saucy quips (presumably Maltese?) translate so well into English. Oh, wait ... it's a fake article.

    "Hugo"

    . Well, there you go.

    This or That

    Not so much that; it's really because they're popular now. Back in the '90s, most vintage menswear customers didn't care whether a vintage suit had a vest or not, so I couldn't charge them more for a vested suit -- because they weren't willing to pay more.

    ... and sometimes their own outside tailors, although the big studios' costume department tailors often equaled the very best anywhere. Hollywood's lower-tier "Gower Gulch" studios --such as "Republic"-- expected all of its actors to bring and wear their own clothes for films set in the...

    This or That

    I think the Catholic parochial kids might be the cleanest. They used to be, anyway. I once heard that Mormon kids shower twice a day, every day. Probably can't beat that.

    This or That

    Yeah. Mine was Episcopalian: no nuns to enforce behind-the-ears washings. The presence of girls is the best way to get pimply teenage boys to shower.
