What are you wearing today??

[Swing Motorman]

My day today... wearing my favorite sport coat and [current] favorite hat to make a rainy day more pleasant. Other than that, nothing special, just a college student in his natural habitat.

Very pretty. And the longer hair really enhances the overall effect.

Thanks. What do you mean by sidewalls? (assuming you are indeed talking to me).

The shaved sides of your haircut, sometimes also referred to as whitewalls.

Burgundy gabardine suit:

Fancy 1930s burgundy pajamas from "Bullocks". Note that they're double-breasted:

Totally louche in a sophisticated Golden Era way....

You did not disappoint on the suit. Wow. One of my favourite all time colours. Could we (at your earliest discretion) have some more snaps of it from other angles?

Absolutely wonderful Marc and I'm in love with the lady's outfit too

Excellent coordination of accessories with the suit, and a lovely companion in those photos!

Man what a wonderful suit!

Glad you like it! I'll take some detailed snaps soon. Did you notice the 1940s deep cordovan shoes by 'Weyenberger'? The real deal. A deadstock pair, found on eBay several years ago.

... a lovely companion in those photos!

Yes, Sharlene is a good egg. She's a board member of the 'Art Deco Society of Los Angeles'. Those photos were taken during the Art Deco Society's "Art Deco Weekend" event aboard the R.M.S. Queen Mary.


The Art Deco Society of Los Angeles has a lot of great folks as members. Below is another one: she's on the Society's 'Events Committee'.

That's a dress from the WWII era. Those colorful stripes are actually thick cords of yarn.

Well thank you. I have grown fond of that style, and was happy to be back down closer to my normal barber.

Would I miss a pair of vintage shoes?

Well, it's beautiful and so are your shoes and the tie.... I forgot to mention them

Nice suit, TTO. I always find that brown & blue go very well together. Pulled it off very nicely.

Thanks Shangas.

The young men are really wowing me with their sartorial splendor lately. Is there an unofficial style competition going on?

Well, speaking for myself... Yep.

We used to have a 'Weyenberg' shoe factory in Portage years ago.
