Saturday afternoon, on the river in Oxford with the New Sheridan Club.
Now that'd be a novelty for me. No alterations! :eeek:
May 7, 2011 was the annual Art Deco Society's Preservation Ball. There is nothing like being with men and women all dressed in vintage evening wear. I felt right at home.

Dang, you looked like a million bucks Bugsy! Good show, Sir!!
I am dying to ask...what is that long thing next to the head of your walking-stick in the second photo? It's not a monocle, is it?

The monocle's between the jacket and trousers (any pics wearing it?). Is the chain on the trousers a keychain?
Spectacular, Bugsy. I like the picture of everything laid out, too, very much like a '30s catalogue illustration.
Nice boater Edward
I'm a day late (and a dollar short, but aren't we all), in posting this. This was my outfit for yesterday, helping out with a birthday trolley charter. I got to debut my new blue uniform and it all worked well, so I was one cheerful conductor/merry motorman.
Relaxing at the end of the day. Jacket and vest are form a thrifted 3-piece suit, pants from Lord knows where, but not an exact match for the suit. As nice as they look, I did buy them expecting that they'll get a bit worn or dirty with time and use.
I picked up a new tie bar that I discovered in the bottom of a bin at the museum store. A nicely rendered PCC streetcar, close-ish in paint to Pittsburgh.
And my favorite part, the cap with changeable cap badges. Cap is from Hats in the Belfry, and the badges are ordered from a T-shirt and trophy customization shop in town.
It was a nice day, our young birthday guest and his friends had fun, and so did our jolly bunch of trolley volunteers. I wish I could dress this way every day, just because the conductor's outfit really brings out that unflappably friendly attitude in me.
