Thank you! No these are different ones - the ones you're referring to are more forties, with a side zip. These ones are Wranglers and I suspect they are probably from the sixties judging by the label. They are a little too short for me (as always) but they work as cropped ones. I'm guessing there weren't many women my height 40 years ago, certainly not judging by the descending height of women in my family as you back through the generations! Me 5'9", my mum 5'4", my grandmother 5'1", my great grandmother 4'11"! Only anecdotal evidence but it makes you wonder doesn't it!

The top is a great vintage inspired modern number and I'm SO chuffed with it. It even has a ribbed band that hugs the waist - perfection! It's also available in cream with black details so I may have to save up for that version too.

Ensemble for another dreary Wisconsin winter Saturday (I know, I sound like a broken record)

Vintage Brooks Bros. single-breasted three-button single-vent tan camelhair sportcoat
Levi's 529 light denim low-rise "straight leg" jeans (although these are called straight leg, the leg openings are actually a wide 22")
Marshall Field's light blue button-down, open neck (bring back Marshall Field's! Chicago is still mourning)
Brown jeans belt
Vintage trout fly in left lapel
Light blue cotton pocket square, puff fold
Lous watch with tan band
Brown OTC socks
Allen Edmonds dark brown Saxon bicycle toe lace-ups
Tan single-breasted topcoat
Brown leather gloves
J. Crew wool/cashmere green/orange horizontal-striped scarf (very striking, new purchase)
Broner wool/rayon tan plaid cap

My all time favorite Cuff Links.

My favorites are not too dissimilar, actually -- round and in black and white instead of color.

Those are very nice. Never found them in color!

Interesting about the height thing isn't it? Both of my great grandmothers were under 5' too.

I swear all the modern clothes I like are from the UK/Ireland. I've got a friend who goes home to Dublin and comes back with the most amazing stuff. I've joked about giving her money to be my personal shopper--I really should!

Post them if you can.

Yes, that is rather an oximoron.

Patrick Murtha=Allen Edmonds dark brown Saxon bicycle toe lace-ups

That style is now discontinued I believe. Bummer, it's a great looking style.

ohairas=Marty those cuff links are AWESOME!

Thank you. Sometimes ya just have ta lighten up a little.

Indycop=Don't sell those in your store do ya?

I second the motion! Enough "Filler text. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit." We need cufflinks, braces, etc.

What I wore a while ago?

I couldn't post what I wore all day today at my Daughter's basketball tournament. So I thought I'd post what I wore a while back at the Custom Tailors and Designers Assoc. Convention. It was my rendition of a '60's Vegas entertainers outfit. Thanks for viewing.

Well done, Marty! Very LaBaron.

I only have to say what I did when you first showed it: If you can make a '60s suit like that, you have a future customer in me.
