1930's Boater Redux....



I just finished removing the collar from an old shirt and stitching in some new button holes so I could try out this vintage 'double round' collar I've had for a few years...thought I should go the whole hog with the belt-backed linen DB and the boater!

-TTO

I love the Boater, I have been looking for a collar just like that, may I ask where you got it?

A muggy day checking on an old place of ours in Waynesville, NC - a 1909 farmhouse. Wearing a tropical weight wool suit w/patch pockets, 1940's Van Heusen tie, Resistol Panama hat, and Church's tan bucks.

Your suits never cease to make me envious Mountain Man...

Thanks BD! Don't think I've posted a pic of me in rollers before, so here goes. The lemon dress arrived this morning!

Love, love, love your dress Cherry and your Remixes! ;0

I found it interesting and fun

I believe they have done some renovations since I was there in the eighties. Knocked a wall out or something?

I'm looking forward to visiting it again this summer (only saw it for a few days once).

They only knocked a bit of it down so they could sell chunks of it to tourists, a 26th of it is still standing.

 

[TCMfan25]

Yes!

Huzza! Good to see them in action mine are en-route to me from brogueshoes.co.uk, the wait is agonising!

It was my girlfriend's end of year party for school yesterday so we went in style. Got plenty of compliments on being a sharp couple.

 

[Giftmacher]

Very well done!

I'm not surprised - you both look great!
(I'd congratulate you by PM - but your mailbox is full.)

Thanks for pointing it out. Funny i think it said something like 70% or something full. I've cleared it some either way.

Trying to beat the Delhi heat at the Qutb Minar complex. Akubra Capricorn, and a linen-cotton blend shirt. Trying out the Capricorn for the first time on this trip. Needed a good warm weather hat that would not be beat up by monsoon rains and was cheap if I lost it. Its meeting the bill rather well, but I do find a plastic hat even with ventilation is not as cool as straw/panama... But nothing is perfect.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Maguire, you both look like a million bucks!

What I wore to Powerhouse Stomp 2 at the Highline Ballroom in Manhattan. Post-1948 suit jacket 1940's tie, and '60s tie clip. Everything else modern. The 1940's style I was going for actually worked for the party as one of the events consisted of a live performance of Tex Avery's Red Hot Riding Hood. After hearing about Albert Cadabra's performance with his poodle Ruby, my poodle wanted to hog the spotlight.

^ VERY nice

Absolutely fantastic Mario

This is more of a "what I was wearing 2 weeks ago". But the photographer from the day has only just emailed them to me.

These are the only real pictures of me from the day but then I suppose there was someone more important there! I'm wearing a 40's reproduction dress from Electric Gypsy.

 

[Tomasso]

That's a cleanly tailored back on the Royal.

The front of a jacket is relatively easy to tailor.....the sleeves can be somewhat troublesome....but it's at the back where the tailor shows his talent.
