I think it's time I contributed to this thread.

Shirt: probably at least two decades old, acquired from my girlfriend's father
Tie: probably at least five decades old, acquired from my girlfriend's grandfather
Vest: less than a month old, received for Christmas
Jacket: from the seventies or early eighties, acquired from my father
Trousers: less than a decade old, but they are my most golden-era-looking trousers.

My room is a mess.

Welcome dschonn - only seven posts and we know you sew, you watch Humphrey Bogart movies, you wear vintage clothes, you like hats, and you admire dinerman's style. I think you'll do just fine here.

Ladies, go easy on him. ;)

dschonn, I really love your hair and schnurrbart! I would probably pick different pants, though. :)

Welcome to the lounge, btw!

Is "Schnurrbart" a word that's used in English? I always find it very intersting to see german words used in other languages:) (see: Doppelgänger, Kindergarten, Rucksack, Zeitgeist, Angst etc.)

lol I didn't even consider that the word might not be used in English! I hope it is, if not, then it needs to be!

dschonn, what I meant to say was that your beard is really beautiful! :)

You look great, very handsome! But yeah....your next acquisition should be some vintage pants! ;) And maybe an iron! lol

I was thinking about either a good hat or vintage trousers next. I do have some of my dad's old pants from the seventies, but I'm leaning toward older styles now (I guess that's partly why I'm here).

I resist ironing clothing that I'm not in the process of making. I may change that, or I may just continue to look rumpled most of the time. I haven't decided yet.

As for Schnurrbart, I knew what that referred to, but couldn't figure out how anyone here would know that I knew German. I chalked it up to the spelling of my name, which is meant to be the German phonetic spelling of my real first name.

Thanks to everyone for the words of welcome.

As someone who detests ironing, I don't think the pants are too bad...maybe just lay them out after you wash them? little less rumpled but still not over the top starched and pressed?


second: I love your mustache, for some reason it reminds me of the ancient Pippy Longstocking movie I watched as a kid, the character Conrad [huh]

third: you remind me of Christian in Moulin Rouge in that pic :D

Dman, I like the look although the sleeves on the jacket appear to be a tad short. Can you tell us more about the cap and the jacket?

They're really not. It's the awkward "taking a picture of yourself" stance, where my posture goes all weird. I'll see if I can dig up some action shots that show the real fit better.

The cap is a tweed from the new york hat company. Probably 10 or 15 years old. I got it used, so I don't really know much about it, other than that the cut is almost identical to a '30s original I have.

The jacket is a '70s or '80s Zero King.

I have to say the dog steals the show.... I love dogs though, and by the way I really like the jeans. I think mixing the old with the new is great, and you did a really classy job at it
