Yes, Stan, still too hot. I wore my Montecristi yesterday, but today, I had a wake to attend, so I'm actually in a suit, wearing my black Mossant, that I bought from Baron Kurtz.

This was inspired by one of Dman's older shots

Knox Twenty. Early 40's, I think - but I'm not good at dating.

This is a great photo--you look excellent!

 

[imoldfashioned]

Terrific look, as always, but that jacket is outstanding--I love it.

It was very fun - I was carrying 7 hats home! :eusa_doh: I'll be posting pics in the Show us your purchases thread. Many thanks to the fine gentlemen of the Lounge who Showed Vintage Betty a good New York time.

Damn, girl! You been busy! AND beautiful!

Thank you Mr. Lucky! Yes, I went to CT, Mass and NY in one week and saw three handsome Fedora Lounge gentlemen! Can it get any better than that?

Whew am I tired! I will be also reporting on the Manhattan Vintage Clothing show, that I went to Friday after the lunch at Sarge's, and will show my purchases.

Time to go on a big diet!

I'm wearing my tan Open Road, cattleman's bash, just the way it came from the factory. And that was a long time ago, because it's a "Stetson Twenty-Five".

Worn with olive slacks, blue denim casual dress shirt, tan corduroy sports coat. Man, do I fit the fall season today!!

 

[DOUGLAS]

Great photo guys. That is a beautiful suit VB.:eusa_clap :eusa_clap

This hat looks great on you!!

Thanks so much! The suit is interesting - definately a sailor influence, with an over the shoulder capelet-thing. There are two bluckle cinches - one at each waist, the suit is lined in satin, and the material is a nubby silk. There are multiple pockets and covered buttons. I'm assuming this is a war-time suit. There is a department store label on the inside. If anyone is interested, I'll scan it in. I should also take another picture of that hat. It is very interesting and I've never seen another like it.

The other hat is interesting as well. I purchased it at the Manhattan Vintage Clothing Expo last Friday. On inspecting it closely, I believe that it's a construction of three different hats pieced together. On the other hand, it could simply be a hat that was never used. But I really don't think so. I think the dealer's wife got creative and did a great job on taking parts of hats that were good and assembling them: liner, base of felt, overlay of felt, and overlay of newer ribbon with a beaded oversize buckle embellishment. I really like it, and the dealer came down on the price also. Very very nice people to deal with. I was happy to purchase from such nice people. And thinking it over, all the dealers I met were incredibly nice throughout the afternoon.
