Thanks for the bowtie compliments, fellas, I do get lucky every great once in a while while thrifting. I'm fortunate, because I have two great thrift stores fairly close by... and Alan, very nice shirt by the way.

Johnny, I'm not much of a bowtie wearer, but if I were, I'd wear one like that.

Feraud, I love your Chesterfield coat. It shoud keep those New York winters off your back.

^Yes, I'm a big fan of that Chesterfield. The dinner jacket looks nice, too. Is that Harris tweed a 3/2 roll dartless Ivy styled number, quarter lined, etc.?

 

[Marty M.]

1974'ish?

If it's not, it should be. Must be vintage early '70's? I really like the buttons.

Feraud, who made the zipper in those brown trousers? Maybe Lee?

Thanks for the compliments MartyM and AlanC.

Yep, that about sums up the Harris. I recently acquired it and have been wearing it as much as possible. It is a very warm coat.

The zip is a Conmar.

Some Pretty Flashy Ties...

Here are this week's necktie finds at the local thrift shop. All are silk - widths range from 3 1/4" to 4". The one on the left was $.99, the others were $.50.

Got it the other day. The thing is nuts.

Hey Mud I would like to see that suit in person one day.
It looks great!

Been making quite a few purchases in the last few weeks.

1). 3 button double vented Harris Tweed sportscoat


2). 2 button single vent MTM Harris Tweed sportscoat


3). 3 button single vent Harris Tweed sportscoat




4). Marlboro handmade `goodyear welted' shoos (not really handmade, but the shoos do have handwork)

5). Barron Lee heavy wool overcoat
(Will need some alterations...collar needs a complete reconstruction). Shirt is only a RTW Borrelli. Collar is too low. l only,purchase `bespoke' shirts now. (The `shirt' and `tie' pic embarrasses me ALOT).

6). Vintage Florshiem lmperial Longwings
(for educational purposes only)

7). Vass antique cognac budapesters.
(pics when l get them next week)

 

[AlanC]

^I like the suede brogues and longwings. Looking forward to seeing the Vass. I'd love a pair. Maybe one of these days when I get to Europe.

I just won this collegiate style jacket on ebay, not sure if it was an advisable purchase or not.

 

[The Shooman]

Thanks man. l still reckon the Marlboro's look alittle punk with all the metal on the sole and all.

Yeah, can't wait for the Vass. Still haven't arrived. l can't wait until l get `em.

l had a bad dream last night (a nightmare). l dreamed that the postal lady called by my office and told me about the new shoo delivery. She handed me the package. l open the shoo box and l pull out a pair of sneakers made made from China. lol l nearly died in shock. l tell her it's a mistake, but she doesn't believe me. l tell her that the Vass shoos (in her basket) are mine. She still refuses to believe me..eventhough l bring out the Vass book and show her my other shoos. [huh]

 

[The Shooman]

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


I picked these up yesterday:

Holy cow, they are awesome Alan! Who's the maker?

 

[JohnnyGringo]

Alan, those are some of the coolest shoes ever! I really like them!

 

[The Shooman]

^ Looking forward to seeing the Vass. I'd love a pair. Maybe one of these days when I get to Europe.

Here they are Alan. Sorry to have to link it to the Film Noir Buff forum, but my computer is acting so weird that i'm lucky to be able to even post a link right now.

Good pics with some interesting commentary.

Shooey.

They always feel fantastic on the feet and wear very well.

[The Shooman]

Just picked this up. The cuffs are single cuffs but require links.

Nice find Alan.

 

[The Shooman]

Black Church's monk. lt's a tough old rascal (built really strong). Fits nice. Not as good as my older Church's monks. l got this to replace my broken Church's monk (old black one on 73) with a newer styled model. Never pretty, but smart reliable shoos. Nothing feels like Church's.....they have a unique feel. The shoes still retain some special elements that are Church's hallmarks (hard and strong). lt's a wholegrain shoo.

paste a pic later........
