What are you wearing today??

[Mike in Seattle]

I don't wish to seem churlish, but I was wondering when you're going to take the plunge and get some old-style duds, as per the main theme of this forum.

:eusa_clap lol :eusa_clap lol

Somebody had to say it.

 

[cherry lips]

[sproily]

Just out of curiosity, what was CreepingPast referring to?

 

[thunderw21]

Great look! Very well put together

Thank you. You look nice too, love the saddle shoes.

Unless I am greatly mistaken, MarcusB.

I take no side on the issue.

Marcus be doin' his thang is all...lookin' dapper. Is ok? Yah! Is ok! This thread by the way is one of my favorites. So many good looks and idears, many of which I've tried to fit into my own stylings. Half the fun of all this is the hunt for some of these items. New repro stuff...20% Vintage stuff 80%. Nice to look good n' enjoy it huh? And Sproily...gotta say lad...Yer oughta be in pitchers! Evening Folks,...JNT

There are no sides to be taken. My post, which was directed to the chap in question, but hasn't been answered by the intended recipient, was not intended to promote general discussion.

Agreed - Marcus does dress dapper and far & above what the normal guy on the street wears. But clearly, nothing remotely vintage, or not what was considered the vintage era for this board - roughly the 20s through post WWII / mid-50s. I was simply applauding Creeping Past's original post asking when he would be making the leap into vintage.

This is, after all, a site devoted to all things vintage. One of the big complaints the majority of users have had in the past is that too many posting were and are moving away from and clearly not relevant to the original mission of FL.

Further, if someone doesn't wish a post to create discussion, don't post them publicly to one of the message boards. That's what private messages are for.

Canadian peacoat
houndstooth tweed jacket
chinstrap workshirt
buckleback jeans

That's a great coat, and a great look on you - clean-shaven, slicked back hair, open shirt with that coat has a very casuals 50s look. It definitely suites you. :eusa_clap

Just after a swing lesson:

Vintage Aloha shirt, Harris tweed jacket. Custom grey slacks.

 

[Mr. 'H']

That is such a good look for you Mike!

:eusa_clap

 

[BellyTank]

Aloha and Tweed- very original!

I was hoping I didn't have too much of a "Kramer" look going on, with the hair an' all....

lol

Indeed! It just seemed to "pop" when I put the two together.... I'm going to do some changes to the coat to make it more 50s - nip in the waist, change the buttons, close the eekvents.

Looking good as always - I love the Aloha shirt!


I think you'll need to work on the *really crazy eyes* if you're going for that Kramer look, though...

So, here is my first time posting (myself, as opposed to some inane comment,) in this thread. I have nothing vintage, but everything pretends to be...

and for when I am out in the frigid air:

(it is hard to see, but I am wearing my old, knockabout pea coat in this picture, it does not really deserve a better one. Best to leave it vague.)

and finally, for when I am done with classes and back in my room in the evening:

The pics are not the best, but at the moment, I can't upload with my camera, and aside from that, I could not find enough space in my room to really be able to take full pics. oh well.
