What are you called?

[Edward]

I'm happy to line up with the fine fellows behind The Chap, and self-identify as an anarcho-dandyist.

 

[griffer]

Snappy dresser, sharpest guy in town, or just "Griffer" for short.

(Wow, that sounds arrogant. Not intended. I just wear a lot of suits and hats, versus my circle of friends. My madras shorts and guayaberas with flip-flops blows that up)

BTW, not strictly vintage, I mix in elements from the 30s & 40s, but I don't look like I fell of a movie set.

NTTAWT.


*also been called some not very nice things, too. The worst sobriquet was inspired many different times- my silver wire rims, black hat, dark suit, black trench, penchant for schnapps and blond hair don't help. No, I don't own Indy Magnoli's replica of the infamous travel hangar.

 

[JohnnyGringo]

Honey, often, late for dinner, never...

 

[mikepara]

Nah as soon as you label it it becomes something to be or to grow out of. I've been called many things but now I'm just a man who likes certain styles and items plucked without to many rules from the 20th Century!

Too many different folks on here to narrow it down with a single genre name!


There's dabblers, some purists, some operate within a rigid narrow timeframe, some like but don't wear, There's 20's - 60's and sometimes all of it within the same wardrobe. How can you put a cult name on that?

This is very true!

Different people see things different ways too. So what might be an acceptable name for one person, another might find insulting.

Why does it need a name anyway? Why can't we just be "fans of bygone eras"?

[kyda]

I have been told that I am chic and Elegant, so I like those tittles or my ultimate title is Mrs Smart, oh mummy is a close second.

 

[Talbot]

What am I called?

Lots of things, many not to be repeated in polite company

 

[Diamondback]

Ditto what Talbot said, "Old* ba***rd", "Crazy ba***rd" and "Evil ba***rd" being among the more polite.
*Not so much for actual age (still sub-30), but for my definite "Old Fart" outlook on the world.

Reverse avant-gardeistas.

I like it. It sings!

 

[inge77]

various names and words

Well, I get called "weird" by mean/closed-minded people, but also original, unusual, and different. No one I know actually knows anything about vintage, antique, or the rest of it. That's partly why I'm here.

 

[KeyGrip]

...self-identify as an anarcho-dandyist.

Oh, my god. I have to go edit my facebook profile. :eusa_clap

I am normally averse to giving myself categories and titles, but this could work. As for things that other people call me, most are not appropriate or have been covered by Diamondback's earlier post.

 

[Grant Fan]

my boyfriend calls me his vintage doll, my friends call it Retro-tastic or Vintage-tastic, my family says that instead of and identity crisis I am in a constant state of decade crisis. One of my really close gay friends heard that called me decade confused

 

[buddy5909]

People call me an old soul or born in black and white.

 

[HadleyH]

it depends....

different names in different situations.

 

[J.L. Picard]

I have been called French, American, German... I don't really care as long as it is followed by

Friend!​

 

[scottyrocks]

Goldenerian.

 

[J.L. Picard]

Goldenarian?

 

[zendy]

My gran refers to me as "classic"

 

[DerMann]

One of my friends calls me 'twenties kid' in jest.

Most of the time I tell people I'm an Anglophile (true) and that dressing well comes with the title. So Anglophile is what a lot of people call me these days.
