    Spear point collar shirts

    That's a "modified spread" or "semi-spread" collar with long blades. It came into wide popularity in the later 1940s as an element of the "Bold Look" in men's suits and accessories. Variations of this collar are often seen in gabardine sport shirts of the era. My rough guess is that...

    Spearpoint collar lengths varied from about 3.5 inches long to 4.5 inches long ... or even longer. Spearpoint collars that were 4.5+ inches were called "Hollywood" collars. Shorter than that, they tended to be called "Barrymore" collars, after the actor John Barrymore.

    ReVamp's spearpoint collars are 3.75 inches long, even though the website erroneously says that they're 3.5 inches long. (Gotta get that fixed.)

    Pencil Mustache

    . "Prince" Mike Romanoff: con man, boulevardier, con man, restauranteur, con man. Was kind of lovable, in a weaselly way.

    Bow Ties

    . Here's my 'Holy Grail' of bow ties, and I haven't found one anywhere: a size 16 (not adjustable), self-tie bow tie in black grosgrain silk. Not faille, mind you, but grosgrain. (There is a difference.) Why do I want it so much? Because I have a 1930s tuxedo with black grosgrain lapels...

    Poetry

    . The Lobster ’Tis the voice of the Lobster; I heard him declare, "You have baked me too brown, I must sugar my hair." As a duck with its eyelids, so he with his nose Trims his belt and his buttons, and turns out his toes. When the sands are all dry, he is gay as a...

    New Years Eve

    . For me, New Year's Eves ain't what they used to be. New Year's Eve, 1993: Spent on the R.M.S. Queen Mary and at Howard Hughes's Spruce Goose, back when both were-side-by-side in Long Beach, California. The Queen Mary had three different parties going on at the same time: one with a...
