What are you wearing today??

[mike]

very sharp, mike... and the mustache just makes it!

thanks! I'm still working on it. I had attempted a pencil mustache a few years ago and it looked terrible on me. But I know I need an eyebrow pencil to make it work but I might just keep it like this. People were calling me William Powell all night

 

[Grant Fan]

Mike very sharp tie, and Edmond I enjoy your jeans very nice

 

[Big Man]

This is what I wore to church today. Double-breasted, navy blue wool suit and black wingtip shoes (hat is in the car).

Tonight I have a cocktail party I am going to, I have done my hair already and figured I would put my outfit on so I could take pictures and post them before I forgot. I bought this dress last year to wear to a my boyfriends Squadron Christmas party in Japan last year but they moved the date and I wasn't there for it. So this is the first time I have gotten to wear this, I am very excited.

you should keep it... it suits you tremendously

and william powell was a very dapper man... he knew some things about dinner parties too it seems
“Dessert is probably the most important stage of the meal, since it will be the last thing your guests remember before they pass out all over the table.”

ok.. disclaimer.. Happily married man here so I'm not a big flirt or nothing but I gotta say it.. Grant Fan and Christina both. Holy Smokes!! What absolute knockouts! Too bad I can't find a little smiley where the eyes bug out and he falls over.. That would be fitting.

Goes to show class, style and beauty are timeless.

Thanks! The best thing about it is that my mom's father always thought my dad resembled William Powell, so my family got a kick out of that comment continuing to the next generation

Going 40's today...(pics)

Early 40's SB Peak lapel 2 pc English suit (full lining). Indications show that this suit was custom made for someone with a bit of money. Little things like a silk gusset support on the inside crotch area of the pants and silk lined sleeves. A beautiful navy blue 'Bird's Eye' woven wool fabric. Lovely high waisted, button fly front pants with buttoned front watch pocket and wallet pocket to rear. For early 40's when Britain had been at war since the end of '39, well, this must have cost a packet for the standard of tailoring and components.
Great hour-glass silhoette shape to the jacket. I need a 'few' adaptions (ie: pant length), but all-in-all a beauty of a suit.

So this is 'today's' wear at work (I'm typing this on my lunchbreak!), and only after looking at the pics do I realise how washed out I am this week...!!!

 

[mike]

This looks excellent on you Paddy! How do you know the date? Is there a makers tag inside of it? Can we get a close up of the birds eye fabric? Any other details like a fishtailed back to the trousers?

 

[analiebe]

you look SPLENDID paddy... can we see a close up of the tie please - from the glimpses of it, it looks beautiful

 

[Dr Doran]

Very nice suit, Paddy. Just a little surgery ... glad you got another SB peak lapel. I know you were specifically looking for them last November when you found that one at Sharks on Telegraph Ave in Berkeley with myself and Fedoragent (somehow talking the shop-girls down to 70 bucks! geez).

And Babs -don't feel bad about flirting with the ladies. I'm a married man too, and I flirt with the ladies all the time. I'd keel over if I didn't.

This is me today and my casual look:

 

[Gijoe]

Today i was in the Mountains. My last trip from this year. The mountain summer ends in 1-2 Weeks, the snow waits.

 

[Slytherin]

For a signing in paris I wore my nautical dress with my vintage sailor hat and sailor scarf in silk.

here at the party after signing with my boyfriend in his vintage airline pilot jacket:

Mike, the mo' works- makes you look older, which is fine, at your age.

And- you can just about make any combination work- you seem to have an easy style, which equates to dressing, in vintage clothing- rather than dressing-up, in vintage clothing. You look more like someone out of a '30s photo, than someone out of a '30s photo.

Any word...?

Hey, Doran I've been in Berkeley myself recently... Where are you? Does this shop on Telegraph have ladies stuff or very small mens' things that might possibly work for our 13yo son (recently dubbed "The Deco Kid").

Ain't just the married gents that flirt ya know. I am a very married lady and definitely a flirt (duh) too! I'd keel over too, that is too funny- Doran, let's get together some time and shamelessly flirt my dear...

Oh, sorry must dash and go flirt with Paddy, and fawn over how dapper and very handsome he looks in his suit for a bit...

A must agree, a splendid suit, perfect for you Sir. Beside the obvious pants length wouldn't you also shorten the jacket sleeve length to be more period correct for fitting you best?? I'd say something a bit flirty about how the trouser leg cut of the Golden era suits in general, especially on such as this fine example drapes perfectly on you and suits your body type (ahem, clearing my throat) fabulously Paddy my dear but it might make you blush... HA! so I won't. Oops I think I just did...

Hi Mike. It's dated early 1940 on one of the pockets. No maker's tag though. Pants are fishtailed. No vent to jacket. Four button sleeve cuffs all working.
