Oh, YES, YES for the boater!! I discovered this at the Art Deco Society of Northern California's Gatsby Summer Afternoon this September. I had been looking to find our 13yo son Daniel a Gatsby cap NOT a boater, as the vintage ones are often fragile and our fave vintage dealer felt he was perhaps a bit too rough and tumble for one just yet... BUT he really wanted one and a small size one became available. HE loves it, and looked like a million bucks wearing it proudly that day. My husband had one too and looked very dapper. All the guys in the band playing that day wear them.

Here's a couple of pics from the day:son Daniel

hubby Chuck dancing with me

me with the band's pianist and vocalist Frederick Hodges

Oh, and to get this thread back on track I always think an elegant, refined man in a boater looks lovely.

Oh my yes, Gah, Elvis in his younger days. So dreamy.

I personally can't resist the lean look of most vintage uniforms. The cigarette doesn't even ruin this one for me.

(That's Montgomery Clift if anyone doesn't know.)

My favorite look.....i dunno.

I think a handsome man is a handsome man.

Different handsome men suit different looks....put one in the wrong look and it can sometimes diminish their looks...ie if they don't seem comfy with themselves..etc.

So the favorite look for me..is one that suits the man.

I whole-heartedly agree, Neecerie. If the man is comfortable and confidant in what he's wearing it's going to come through, and confidence (but not arrogance) is what's most handsome in any man.

Lenore, he isnt recognizable without the 'stache! I loved him in Gone With The Wind.

Who didn't?

fftopic: According to various sources, including Vivien Leigh, Myrna Loy, Carole Lombard and Joan Crawford, Gable had the worst teeth and breath. Watch Leigh in Gone With the Wind and Loy in Wife vs. Secretary very closely - When he speaks close to their faces before kissing them, they visibly shrink back in disgust.

VERY true! :eusa_clap
And a lot of times what makes a man handsome is him finding a look that suits his personality and body type.

Especially if its a very unique look! I don't like trendy men who wear whatever is cool this season. If I want a clotheshorse, I'll buy a shoe rack.

If I consider the "woman scorned" theory....and the fact that he might have loved and jilted his leading ladies....this could be made up for payback. I would have to confirm the film action in the mean time...

Lizzie or LD,

Should this thread be merged with the Handsome Fellas thread?

Just a thought.

 

[~Psycho Sue~]

I didn't think so considering that my subject matter is specifically about the LOOK and not the specific MAN!!!!!!!!

Good point. I haven't had caffeine in twelve days... You'll have to pardon my slow brain moments. [huh]

Edited for stupid spelling mistakes. LOL
