What are you wearing today??

Here you go:

Awesome suit and awesome find.. lol but be a little more subtle when you're doing that.

... be a little more subtle when you're doing that.

Ha ha! We were talking about Sharlene's early 1940s dress. I was looking at those colored stripes, which are actually thick strands of yarn tacked down to the dress. We vintage clothing geeks love these kinds of details ...

 

[PoohBang]

I was just kidding... It reminded me of Woody Allen's famous pic.. but seriously you made a great haul!

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

Assuming I'm included, then no as I didn't end up making it to the top 12 in Esquire's best dressed man competition (which was in reality more like Britain's most fashionably dressed boys).

Not quite comfortable with this suit, I always feel the fit isn't quite right?

It looks pretty good to me.

It could be the very narrow button stance which can look a bit strange on DB suits. Still looks good on you though.

Just gearing up for DJing tonite, taking care of the chores while digging the new Packy Axton comp LP, and thinking about what vinyl to spin later on...

Royal Stetson that I re-bashed, Gap workshirt, Key Imperial bandana, burgundy button-on braces, Cheap Monday selvedge cowboy cinchback jeans and work boots... sorry about the crappy photos, they were taken on the camera of a pal who just popped by - seems I need to clean the bathroom cabinet mirror, too! Better get on to that, otherwise my beautiful wife will be teed-off!

Have deffo got the right look for our DJ night down the local pub, tho'! Here's my poster, featuring those San Francisco dandies, The Charlatans:

Looks great. Also looks like there would be a nice playlist. I think I would enjoy that party. At home I mainly listen to swing but don't say no to country, northern soul, garage, ska, punk ...bands I grew up with and still love.

Have fun!

Well, it's something to do! I usually kick-off with some honky-tonk, jazz, western swing and ballads, then move onwards... here are links for five comps of soul, R&B, jump blues, ska, country, jazz, exotica, garage, etc, from the 1940s-1970s wot I made off vinyl. The tracklistings are in the folders...

One of those irritating days where the temperature calls for wool but the humidity calls for linen. I decided to compromise with a half-lined jacket and light weight wool trousers. Only the tie and jacket are vintage.

Are those White Castle Hamburgers ?

 

[Dinerman]

Even better. Little Tavern hamburgers. (Though technically, they're from the Laurel Tavern, a former Little Tavern, now that the chain is defunct.

 

[MarkL]

Stunning, as always.

I love the ascot/cravat!

​

I don't know why this is but my camera seems to develop a stronger pixelation with age. Maybe it will need some glasses (read: monocle) soon...

Wow, nice. Thank you very much. I am listening to it now. Very cool stuff
