    What is the sleeve length? (Assuming it's still available).

    Black Suit

    Isn't a black suit a good shot at 'cocktail attire' whatever that means for men? It's dressy but not a tuxedo, and looks pretty sharp with a bow tie and pocket square. "Midnight Blue" would be even better, yes?

    Why do you come here? Why do you love the Golden Era?

    To the question of the OP: Because I can easily imagine some kinship of common interest with the community here. It's a pleasant subject; the graphics are swank; the forums and threads are interesting and there is a ton of information and opinion that is fun and valuable here. It's a sort of...

    "Blucher Moccasins"

    Many of us would, and do, but according to some vendors, for example, www.atthefront.com -read the owner's rants in his site's 'rant archive' for many posts on this subject- there are many who profess a willingness to pay more but don't follow through. So, it's the usual story: businesses seek...

    Aloofness in Re-enactment.

    I buy a lot of kit and unforms for display from reenactor vendors and have caught on that there are varying degrees of fideltiy/fanatacism to 'authenticity' among reenactors of every era. Rollin, who is the proprietor of www.atthefront.com has a trove of very funny rants on this subject. Nothing...

    Who here is a millionaire?

    It is a trite curiosity often seen in my world (trust banking), that many who live large lack the means and many who live modestly, are quite well off. Some of that owes to the peculiar demographics of our city. The one shared characteristic is that they recognize that it is seldom in their...

    That vintage feeling

    That Golden Age feeling? The fleeting mention or reference to lard or polio.

    Black Suit

    If I had one, I might wear a black suit for 'cocktail attire' with a bow tie. Or as Agent Smith of the Matrix, on Halloween.

    "Blucher Moccasins"

    Shoes of almost any sort are a good chance to test the addage that "you get what you pay for." Since most good shoes can be re-soled many times, it pays to buy good uppers, doesn't it?

    The 1930′s Big E Levi’s Jacket on Pawn Stars

    Yep, Thanks Baron, that's where I found UnionMade. I checked some of the others (as our work IT allowed), but this seemed to be the only one that carried pretty much the whole range. Interesting that certain models of the jeans are not continued, such as the 1927's that I bought two pairs of...

    The 1930′s Big E Levi’s Jacket on Pawn Stars

    Not to hijack this thread but I found it somewhat difficult to locate a US source for the full Levi's Vintage Clothing line. Eventually found this one: http://unionmadegoods.com/ Some pretty nice stuff and priced like platinum. I suppose we might enjoy these things for a few years and...

    Synthetic suits - Thoughts?

    I assume you are getting a vintage suit for $200 since a good quaility, new suit is going to cost a multiple of that, even off the rack. The rule of thumb on clothing fora seems to be to dry clean as little as possible because it does degrade the fabric at worst and gives it an unpleasant shine...

    What do you do for Living?

    It's not a 'unified bar' sort of membership but there is an enormous overlap. Glad to see someone else wandered into this thread.

    I was a keen amateur in your field when I was a much younger man....didn't call it 'geography', exactly..

    What do you do for Living?

    Does anyone ever read this thread? I am a trust officer, 35 years; a licensed attorney (OH and KY) and certified loon, to wit: I recreate, at hideous expense and effort, historically accurate uniforms, screen-accurate Movie and TV costumes.
