Today:

I just finished the jacket from a vintage Advance pattern. Trousers from an EvaDress pattern, bowtie from a homemade pattern. The hat, shirt, and collar are vintage.

Looking good, Nick. That's a hell of a 'stache, too.

Please accept my offering of massive waves of envy.

(Oh, to be thin and able to pull the look off... If I try it, there are echos of Sidney Greenstreet.)

Solid, Nick. Thanks for continuing to represent us Yanks in the Mother country. And someday you must tell us how you got into academia in Britain.

HA! This thread makes ne not feel so crazy!

OK... maybe it just makes me feel less alone in my crazy.

Lately I've taken to building vintage "looks" around my vintage hats.

A couple weeks ago it was "'40s era Farmer goes to town" inspired by a 1940s vintage Stetson Royal and a loud blue and red tie both from the same Barre, VT Men's store.

Today's outfit I'm calling my '50s weekender look. It's based around a 50s vintage Stetson 3x, and a really fun Beau Brummell amoeba patterned tie.
