No worries! I do recall a lot of Dallas seemed bland. Fort Worth less so, but certainly there was a lot more 'culture' going on in Austin. I wanted to move there in the worst way back in the early 90s. Had I have been single I'd have gone in a minute.
-
When I first came to the US (1988) I thought Fort Worth was great. This was based on a short visit mind you, but the leather belts you could buy in the Cowtown(?) district were fabulous. I wore the one I bought until it wore out (think I still have the remains in a drawer...) I should have bought more because when I revisited a few years later (I was in a band from FW in the mid 90s) everything I saw was cheap, mass produced, low quality.

Hat - Banana Republic I think. I cut the label out of it a while back. Two Moon, MF Swabbies, Lofgren.
-
That's quite possible but I notice that the hats in this particular photo are blocked in a western style, brims and crowns, rather than the a fedora shape.
-
The small brimmed hats are an interesting touch. Not the stereotypical image that one tends to imagine in vintage pics like these.
-
Not that I'm assuming you're pursuing a vintage vibe, but there was a time when all shirts would have been worn tucked in, the only exception being Hawaiians (which were sometimes worn tucked in), and short sleeves meant to be worn around a swimming pool with shorts. I'd actually be curious to know when people started untucking dress and work shirts. I'd guess the 1970s but it might be the 80s. Personally even with heavy flannels I prefer the way they look tucked in but sometimes I'll go untucked for the practicality of being able to easily take it off if it gets too warm. A very long-winded way of saying either way is fine...

Very nice look overall! ^^^

Bright day making unfortunate sun-scowl face unavoidable. Good contrast on the jeans though. Black Sign, Obbi, WOM, Alden.

Yeah. He was a cool cat.

I still follow MF pretty closely and occasionally pick up something. Frankly on the rare occasion I visit the store I can always find plenty of items to tempt me but thankfully I've apparently now developed the ability to recognize when there's too much similarity to pieces I already own, and pass. Here are the last pieces I acquired (new). I also watch ebay for pieces I missed the first time around. Got this deadstock Chemise Hirodelle in XXL not too long ago. Not cheap but not crazy high either. I was glad to find it.

Yup. It's killer!

Marlon says give the AtLast crew 30 lashes for slovenly pattern matching. (Jacket and hat by Black Sign).

Do you ever add a downwards fake single cuff? -
Thanks Double 0. Good tip. I just removed a bunch. None were untoward or recurring payments but why the hell should they automatically keep the line open just because I used paypal for a one time purchase?

SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)
CSL replied to minya's topic in superdenim
Unlike DoubleO, I do like a multiple fold as I like the way the weight makes the jeans hang. That being said with my height it's rare I find a pair long enough for more than a double cuff. I suppose three fold would be the sweet spot. Regarding the width of the cuff I used to like 2.5-3 inch but generally opt for narrower these day. One advantage to the narrow cuff that I find useful is that you can flip it up a fold when wearing boots, and down one for shoes. -
No worries! I was asking for it.
-
I'm not as familiar with the brand as many here but Atlast&co are well respected and on a par with the best Japanese heritage brands. (Assuming the item is brand new) I would say a jacket of that type made by Freewheelers, Real McCoys, Buzz Ricksons, etc would cost a similar amount. If it's used, slightly different scenario = how much you want it, how flexible the seller is on the price, etc.

Been a while since I had this coat on. Channeling my inner Elmer Fudd. Kromer cap FW WOM

I'm finding it still requires 'double-clutching' to get from page to page. First click = Blank page, 2nd click = intended destination. Is it same for everybody? -

I also do as Julian-wolf has described. If it's necessary to cinch in really tight I let the excess 'tail' poke out on the underside. -
Vintage cap, Trophy, WOM, Alden (gift from Mrs.CSL), nervous dog.

Going through some of my closet spaces I hadn't checked in a while, and came across cross a couple of original Big E Type 3 jackets. I'm wondering if anyone can give me an idea of what they sell for these days? I'm not necessarily looking to sell them, as they fit me quite well but it'd be nice to know the current value. One is older and has the yellow stitching, the other has orange stitching. I'm thinking Dr_Heech, our resident expert on such things will have an idea or two....
-
OK. I've done it! Covered for six months. I'm hoping there'll be a reminder email or PM at renewal time?
-
^^^Yup. A very strong look.
-
Can you give us an idea of the potential limitations, please? Apologies if I've missed something you've already posted.
