What are you wearing today??

[Alon]

Mike,

Wonderful dress! I've been looking for a vintage bow tie of the sort you're wearing for a while, but none of the ones I've found have that casual, flimsy look. Could you suggest a place to find those and how I might distinguish them from the typical stiff bow tie?

Thanks!

Today; scruffy casual.

M&S shirt, well-frayed
Thrifted ascot
Ancient Harris tweed hacking jacket
Omega, gold, 50s
Uniqlo jeans
Maurizi pseudo-brogues

Today; scruffy casual.

Omega, gold, 50s

Why is it that I prefer Men's watches over Ladies?
I want it.

thanks guys!
yes, the hat's his now! Hard to do... but my dad's the WW2 nut more than I am (I'm more interested in 20's and pre-code films/culture) Our basement where I grew up is filled with model airplanes he's been building since he was 10 years old and now creating this museum by connecting a guy who owns the original planes, to some groups that can financially put it together and the local government officials to sign off etc etc... this museum is a round about way an extension of his WW2 model airplane collection! So the man wants my hat, he can have it!
I put more pictures in this thread...

Nice pics, Mike. Looks like a great time.

btw, nice suit. Seems to fit perfectly. The cap and bowtie is a nice touch.

Every year on the second Sunday of September, the Art Deco Society of California sponsors the Gatsby Sunday Afternoon on the grounds of the historic Dunsmuir Mansion in the hills above Oakland. The rules are rather strict requiring everyone to wear clothes and accessories that are actually vintage or approximate styles from 1920-1940. It was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon and see the lengths people went to with their clothes, cars, and table settings. As an added plus, one of our very own Lounge members won in the men's category of the fashion show as he deserved to.

It's a quarter to 11, and I'm still in my pyjamas and dressing gown. No working for me this week, enjoying the life of leisure for now!
