I just ordered these on Amazon. American Optical 52mm with green lenses. Not Vintage of course, but I wanted a pair of sunglasses to replace the "modern" ones I've been wearing. The design has been around since 1958.


Wish I could figure out how to make my images larger.

I picked up these AMAZING Church's Diplomats today at an antique shop. They are beautiful shoes, but the AMAZING part is that they actually fit me perfectly. They do need a little bit of restitching on the left shoe, and maybe new heel caps, but for $25, they're well worth putting a little work into.

Nice find Mattface! Someday I hope to find something similar.

what's the size on that Baron? I live pretty close to Ilkeston and visit there often through work but I've never seen any of their caps kicking about in the charity shops....great find!

Ah, after some inactivity I decided to pop in and show what I've found. Usually I wouldn't care about waistcoats without a backside but I had to make an exemption when I found this. It's not that common any more that you see a double breasted white tie waistcoat.

Hi esteban,

It measures up to about 59 cm, which is annoying for my 56 cm head!

I bought this on eBay a couple months ago. 1940's Collarless burgundy jacket with pick-stitching by Gaylord. It's a small, but WAY too blousy for me to wear. But for $10, I couldn't pass it up. With a 30's dress shirt and 30's sunglasses.

 

[Fastuni]

Nice! Is there any hint for it being 40's? I would have rather put in in the 50's... large blousy cut (tagged "small") and the very low set buttons are IMO suggestive of 50's.

The seller claimed it was 40's, but it could just as easily be 50's too. I'm not entirely sure myself.

Anybody else having trouble uploading pictures from their computer? Anyway...

Hopefully they won't take too long to break in.
