    Viewer 'Thanks' This poster wants to say "thanks" for these beautiful pics and your taste in hats. These are in pristine condition. How many of us are looking at these and sporting something, uh, er, wooden?

    When does it become a costume?

    A time and a place for everything Just so. I am wearing the Indy Magnoli "Maltese Falcon" tie today, at my bank job desk. If I had worn the peaked lapel suit, no one would have said anything but they would have put another tic mark "eccentric" next to my name in their mental file on me. Do I...

    Hat Matching Suit?

    Building my Magnoli boots; an open discussion.

    405's are A-OK After a year of wrestling with my conscience and winning on many smaller things, I finally gave in a month ago and bought them at a 'decent' price online, with free shipping.

    Hair cuts

    vintage cuts Has anyone actually gotten one of those really severe cuts, in the almost 'Norman' medieval style, the Germans favored in the Thirties and War years? I saw a photo the other day of 'Gestapo' Mueller, in some meeting and his pate from just behind his ears was totally bald. Not an...

    whats the appropriate time to wear your uniform?

    Semper Fi This is good advice on all counts. It is no disrespect but comemoration to wear accurate period uniform and decorations. Devotion to a great period impression should also be a strong motivator to lose those extra pounds. This can be a very sensitive subject and no disprespect is...

    GO WEST, young man! LI to Oklahoma! Man, that is a move! From uber-urban to wide open spaces. How long did it take to adjust to that?

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    Hip Hopalong I admit this belongs in a new or different thread but I had to agree with your observation. Each generation is entitled to their 'look' but the preceeding ones have mercifully faded into passe'. When will this awful 'fashion' go that way? It just seems to hang on forever. But...

    Worst Golden-era inventions

    Management lobotomy I speculate that the shareholders of my company, a midwestern regional bank, would be much better off if our senior management had received this treatment. On further reflection, I suspect our shareholders may insist on this.

    When does it become a costume?

    My aunt Glad What? Come in here and have some sweet tea. Mind the extra sugar, now. I am thinking now about the 'age dry rotted rubber bands' I have encountered over the years and I know just what you mean. How do they stay intact until you touch them?

    Your best foot forward I love Indy Magnoli's work and am a solid customer but I wonder why you have decided against the 'original' Alden 405's?
