Although a touch small, I thought you would like seeing this 1930's shirt.

Serious undercurve, and gussets:

The maker of this shirt. Anyone have any information?

 

[Jovan]

Thrift store find. Pre-1955 UGWA label (before AFL merged with CIO).

3-button suit. The lapel covers the top button.

Three-roll-two.

Sweet kicks Jovan.

Thanks Marty. I was originally looking for black cap toes to replace the Nunn Bush corrected grain monstrosities I currently have, but the more I looked at them and thought about it, the more I knew they were meant for me. (Besides the fact that there were none on the 'Bay at a decent price from a good seller.)

 

[Orgetorix]

And they're preforated, too! Good thing--I can't stand shoes that are post-forated.

Nice catch Jovan. A fine shoe at a great price. I have a pair.

This is my new selling assistant. He's a bit of an airhead, but he works for beans and sure makes taking photos easier!

I love your new Asst., Mr. O. In my line of business, you can't have too many Asst.'s like him.

lol

They don't give any lip, either! Mine are always happy to hear my troubles.

If you get too many, however, and you stay in the shop too late, they start to freak you out. I'm guessing.... not that I'd know...

That's exactly why I'm going home now.

I just won these octagonal 1930s art deco spectacles, tortoise shell. I'm quite pleased. I'll post pics when I get them, but for the time being I'm trying to figure out what lenses to put in. I am thinking of prescription lenses (I usually wear contacts) with a not very dark sunglass. Tell me what you-all think.

I don't think you can go wrong with those assistants. They only ask for a low, one-time salary. [huh]

The shoes came in yesterday, and they're comfortable as hell. I'll try to get some pics of me actually wearing them with a suit.

 

[Marty M.]

Hip specs.

Very hip looking glasses Doran. I'm looking forward to seeing pics when you get them set up.

Where did you get him; how much? Looks like a good one. I love mine.

Doran, they're way out! I've never seen frames like those before, they're really sharp. I think they'd look great as either sunglasses or clear lenses, but I'd probably wear them as the latter. Either way, a really distinctive look.

Pretty freakilicious, ain't they? I am leaning toward tinted prescription lenses still. Green tinted. We'll see ... I also have some Ronsir Shurons coming in, so I have some choices to make. I have never seen a single person with octagon glasses in my life (in memory, at least) ...

A store in the mall where I work closed up and left several torso forms when they vacated the space. I asked around and nobody wanted them, so I got him for free.

Nice shoes!
