A 1920s white DOUBLE-BREASTED evening waistcoat.

Probably a modern size 40. Sold for a song! http://cgi.ebay.com/Mens-Antique-Vi...4QQihZ012QQcategoryZ52383QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem



A very similar one on the Arrow Collar Man:

Deadstock ('30s?) brown blucher boots that went out of my budget:

Vintage Florsheim black-and-caramel spectators. These were kinda odd--the soles look like they're in deadstock condition, but the uppers are pretty wrinkled.

Deadstock ('30s?) brown blucher boots that went out of my budget ...

This type of boot was colloquially called a "farmer's going-to-town (or Sunday) boot." In other words, the dressiest pair of shoes that a farmer would own.

Thin leather. It was often used on European-made "disco" shoes in the later '70s.

4 pc db suit by kuppenheimer is mine now I'm not sure whether the button was omitted purposely or if it simply fell off...either way, it's an easy fix. jacket, vest, two pairs of pants Can anyone give a cue on the era perhaps? 30's? 40's? It seems to have a very high and wide button stance!

Perhaps you can use the inner (jigger?) button where this missing button is -- it should be the same as the rest. Since no one will see the inside button, you can just replace that with anything the same size.

Deco Ties

Choo!

Bless you!

Picked up this lot of ties on the Bay for $10:

There's only a couple of them in there that I will probably wear. The one on the left here:

is a little too loud for me. I'm more of a subuded and understated kind of guy.

But maybe I need to consider pumping up the volume a little?

I was going to bid on the SBPL. It was going to be mine.

But then I went home to visit my parents and totally forgot about it.

Let's say wrongish. They're leather, which is good. They're shiny, which is not great. But look at it this way: you wouldn't wear a pair of black & white spectators every day. They're quasi-costume shoes for special occasions. The fact that you wouldn't use them much means that they'd last a longer time.


In the end, b/w spectators don't have to be of excellent quality -- they just have to look good and be made of leather. The pair sold on eBay fit this bill.

Would the elastic in those actually hold up to use? I would buy it but they would have to be wearable. In my experience, they are usually shot by the time they get to me. [huh]
