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

    Does Levi's offer a revival/'vintage' version of it, like they have of their jeans?

    The Nationalist Myth, War and "Vintage"

    Does anyone over 30, not still living at home, really disagree with this? Isn't this part of an adult's self understanding-ordinary people are quite capable of behaving very badly in certain circumstances- and our adult cynicism for utopian belief systems, that deny human nature, good and bad...

    Aging beautifully and gracefully, then vs now: Who did it better?

    Candace Bergen had been one of the crushes Mrs. F had allowed but honestly, it's so sad how she has fallen apart in the last several years. Not Mary Travers bad, but you know.

    Looking for a truly classic navy suit.

    Mr. Lyles states the concensus of another clothing forum, www.askandyaboutclothes.com at the Trad forum. They are adamant about the quality of Oxxford. I have never owned one myself. Brooks Brothers has become the favorite villain in the public pillory of clothing enthusiasts. I have...

    The Nationalist Myth, War and "Vintage"

    Is this pernicious 'nationalism' at the root of soccer hooliganism?

    Tale Of A City

    I have one of the similar booklets issued to my Dad, (2d Lt. US Army) who took part in the 'Torch' N. Africa and Sicily invasions, entitled 'A Short Guide to Great Britain' or somesuch. It's funny as hell as it describes what the authors considered useful tid bits about English colloquialisms...

    Missing Loungers Whom You Miss.

    Re Rue, could hardly blame her. We are a poor substitute, aren't we? Although our annoying habits are more easily turned off.

    What Are You Reading

    Discovered the Bernie Gunther novels of Phillip Kerr this summer. Wonderful noir stories, set in Pre-/wartime/post war Berlin and elsewhere. Why have these never been made into movies? Coincidentally, there is a lively discussion here...

    The Nationalist Myth, War and "Vintage"

    Yes. And we grew up as children of the people who left home for years to fight it. How could that not shape who we are and our interest in the era of our parents and grandparents? Of course, now we have GaGa to shape our era. Hoosier Daddy says it for me, too.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    1. Home delivery of milk in glass bottles, by those neat little trucks; 2. Home delivery of bakery goods in different neat little trucks, with drawers of pastries in the back; 3. Our local newspapers, now down to one, shrinking like The Wicked Witch of the West after Dorothy dunked her with a...

    Missing Loungers Whom You Miss.

    Don't mess with the Amish. If you're reading the news, you'll know their hair-cutting gangs are active here in Ohio. Better to join a biker gang and at least feel some wind in whatever hair you have left.

    FS: Two NOS 30s/40s Suits with TAGS in 40-42

    That would be harder on the DB because of the cuff buttons/button hole set.

    FS: Two NOS 30s/40s Suits with TAGS in 40-42

    The "plus 2" on the sleeves, means it can be let out that much, yes?

    The BEST Detective/Crime films of the Film Noir era?

    No reason not to proffer my stock contribution: The Third Man, (not The Thin Man, as Mr. Wells never was), the finest film of all time.

    Vintage Workwear

    I often overspend on things but I would have to be buried in that beautiful grey shawl collar cardigan. And if Mrs. Foster found out the cost, that would be arranged in short order.

    Synthetic suits - Thoughts?

    Perhaps Mr. Lyles was gently hinting that more than two people might be privy to this sartorial progression.
