I have several things to show but I'm going to keep the posts short. Today was historic for me. I received my first ever bowler hat today! Not certain of it's age, but the Hatters Union label dates it to pre-1934!<br />
<br />
For people unfamiliar with bowler hat designs, I am only a novice myself but I do notice a big difference is the brim curl. It's very minimal keeping a nice conservative streamlined look. I notice a lot of the modern makers make the brim flare way too much and ruin the lines and proportions.<br />

The pre-1934 label! The big difference between this and the later ones is the latter are smaller in size and exclude "THE" from the title<br />

Perfection quality for only $3.50! I can't pinpoint a date on this hat, but let's say it's from around 1930 just to round things off. With the inflation calculator, this well made hat only cost $47.55 in today's money!<br />

Well well Mr. Fall! 'Bout time you showed! Yes Fall is finally coming to New York which means it's time to transition from cotton to tweed! Today for work I went with the late '50s look, which is an era I haven't dressed in since my college days. <br />

My recent song obsession comes from a "Screen Song" cartoon. It's a tune that's been sung, whistled and hummed in cartoons and movies for a good 80 something years and only just discovered that it's called, "Short'nin Bread". <br />

Seller had claimed these were '80s does '50s, but I'm getting more of a '60s does '10s vibe. I've been searching high and low for heavyweight herringbone tweed slacks for a while and even if these were made post-golden era, I still have yet to see anyone make a modern version this good. <br />

Here we have another pair of tweed slacks, which I think date to the early to the 1945-1947 period. WPL numbers were used on garments from 1941-1959, being replaced with RN numbers in 1960, thus the small number has me thinking these are from the early WPL era.<br />

Here we have a new lid I picked up at the Jazz Age Lawn Party this past weekend (Photos in next post). A 1940's Mallory in near mint condition! What really drew me to this hat was the green ribbon!<br />

First off, I am finally starting to slowly transition my bedroom towards pre-1960's spec. I had been in desperate need of a new bureau for quite some time, and everyone kept saying "go to Ikea". Ikea is fine and dandy for certain things, but their bureau's seriously lack any character, or good looking design for that matter. During a visit to my grandmothers house I realized she still had my grandpa's old dresser that he bought sometime in the late '50s or early '60s of which she allowed me to take! I'm am pleased as punch to have inherited such a grand piece of old world craftsmanship. Goes really with the original Victorian shutters and window moldings, some of the very few details left on the house during an awful 1970's downgrade. If I recall, these walls were once covered in emerald and purple wallpaper, complemented by a turquoise carpet. The radio I've owned since 2007, but had stored it until recently. I believe it's a late '30s-early '40s model, but there's no trace of a manufacturer. <br />

Next are some new eBay and Etsy finds. <br />
<br />
This suit jacket had been listed on Etsy as a 1970's blazer, but I instantly knew from the skeleton liner and just overall cut and style that it was definitely pre-1945, and with an affordable price tag I had to have it.<br />

The union tag was very washed out, but some vintage clothing experts were able to decipher it as a 1939 tag with the number "80".<br />

WPL numbers were used on clothes tags from 1941-1959, the big number suggests this vest is from the mid to late '50s. <br />

You can never have too many ties right? A gaggle of '40s and one '30s tie I bought ordered from a vintage store in Oregon called "American Vintage". Check them out! They have decent prices and also buy and trade!<br />

Last item for the post is a piece of forgotten music history. A 1950's LP of music by Jan August. I discovered his work years ago on youtube when I stumbled upon the song "The Good Ol' Pianola". The song was eventually taken down, but I had kept a copy of the video since I couldn't find the song anywhere on iTunes, Amazon, or Groove Shark. There isn't much information on the song on the internet other than what album it appeared in, which is what helped me find this record! I'm considering loading a video of it on YouTube as it's a very catchy '50s ragtime revival song! I also have plans to make a UPA styled cartoon to the song. Love that album cover!<br />

On the topic of music, what blog post of mine would be complete without a new favorite song? Coincidentally it's also piano music performed by a pianist I recently discovered named Winnifred Atwell. She was well known in Europe and Australia for her boogie woogie style in the 1950's and '60s. Here she's performing her own boogie rendition of one of my all time favorite songs, "The Charleston". Enjoy!<br />

While I'm in the cartoon business, I'm also a lover of modern art, which shares it's period with the Golden Era. In today's post I'll be sharing some of my favorite pieces at the museum. Maybe you followers will get inspired too! <br />

Last photo of the post is one by the famous Piet Mondrian. There were several pieces of his work to in the exhibit, but this one is a personal favorite of mine. "Broadway Boogie Woogie" (1943). Love that title! Felt a little under dressed but it was just too humid for a jacket that day. <br />

I learned of this painting from my old college professor,animation historian, veteran animator (he started working at Terry Toons in 1949) and a legend in his own right, Howard Beckerman. He was inspired to reference it for an animated cartoon he did for Paramount back in 1967 called "The Trip", which can be seen here! Features some nice little Boogie Woogie numbers. <br />

<br />
I had seen one of these bakelite Trylon and Perisphere salt and pepper shakers in a local antique store and immediately wanted one, the store's price was a bit too inflated so I found this one eBay for more than half the price after shipping.<br />

The next bit of memorabilia is this folding chair cane hybrid known as the "Can-O-Seat". An acquaintance of mine who is also very much into all thing vintage also had one and inspired me to get my own, though mine is in nowhere as good condition as his.<br />

Next is this photo I found at a recent antique shop. At first I thought it was just a regular train at a station station, but then I noticed the top of the Trylon behind it and knew instantly where the photo was taken! I'm a steam engine fan, but you just can't beat art deco diesels. <br />

The last item is not an official World's Fair item, but the sphere designs made a coworker think "world's fair" and I figured it from the style and material that 1939 seemed about right for it's era!<br />

I plan to slowly increase my world's fair collection, and by slowly I mean at a snails pace ha ha! So little room when you live in a city you know!<br />
<br />
<br />
As for the my latest in favorite tunes, I finally watched "The King's Speech" a few weeks ago and took a liking to a song played on the king's Gramaphone. "Who's Been Polishing the Sun" <br />

I celebrated my 23rd birthday last month and thought I'd share this silent '50s style home movie my friend made for me! I happened to break out my new authentic boater hat and art deco tie for the occasion!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here are some photos showing detail of the hat and tie. <br />
I'm not entirely sure how old the boater is, definitely no later than the 1950's. I'm guessing it's '40s at the earliest due to the font of the Dobbs logo on the interior, but I need to due more research on company logo's through the years. The price and size tags seem pretty pre-war in my opinion. Any hat experts out there have a clue?<br />

And here's the tie. Late '30s, no label, Art Deco pattern, now one of my favorites to wear! Excuse the odd framing, I cropped out the tie next to it because it's related to the theme of the next post.<br />

My recent music obsession is thanks to a fellow Golden Era fan and artist known as "Two Strip Technicolor". Check out his retro work on his tumblr page at http://twostriptechnicolor.tumblr.com/tagged/Illustration. Follow him now, and enter for a chance to win a brand new 1951 Dodge Wayfarer and Zeineth Porthole television set!....not really but it's worth a look at!<br />
<br />
And here's the song, "Nola" (1940) by Vincent Lopez and his Suave Swing Orchestra. Love the alliteration! <br />

I have another gem to discuss in today's post. After much research and just plain searching, I have finally acquired an authentic '20s/early '30s Fedora hat, all the way from grand old England!<br />
<br />
This old English beauty beauty is in great shape, but will definitely need some steaming and re-shaping of the crown. Usually I have all my Fedora's shaped in either a teardrop or diamond, but I think a center dent would suit this hat better. I've also noticed in films and photographs from the '20s and early '30s that the center dent was more common and most likely the crowns original shape.<br />

Frayed ribbon bow is a huge key in determining a hats age. Not every hat had it, but from my research it was very common before the late 1930's, going as far back as the turn of the century. Some high end hat manufacturers in the '50s and '60s sometimes had ribbons like this featured on hats made the same ways as 30 years prior for their older and more conservative customers. <br />

When I first looked at the sweatband, I immediately thought the seller had been wrong about the age of the hat. The band is quite narrow and the material itself almost paper thin, like that of those immitation leather sweatbands they started putting in hats in the late 1960's. But thanks to the wonderful hat experts on Fedora Lounge (A wonderful forum that discusses everything relating to the 1910's-1960's, and where I learned practically everything I know about vintage clothing) informed me that narrow thin leather sweatbands were indeed very common on British hats of that period and is indeed an authentic example.<br />

</div>
"Cough cough sputter wheeze". This blog really needs a dusting after a month and a half! Work and family things have been taking a lot of my time recently, but with the small break in posting I now have a nice backlog of new things to post! Today, I'll be sharing some new slacks I picked up off eBay recently. Summer is always problematic for me clothing wise as I tend to love the colder seasons and gravitate towards wools and tweeds and always neglect preparing for summer. I came to the realization that I needed new lightweight slacks. And with the help of eBay I acquired 3 pairs of NOS summer slacks.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First we have these pair of what I believe to be '60s era US Navy Khaki slacks, from an the era before they settled on calling synthetic mixtures just plain polyester. Pretty classic straight leg styling. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNSoOMyz5OBn1aKV09PMmqCXQjY36VBzX4JnFdguMzePJd-8Ye0jxcES72ZSln3r4jNe0-rSRnpq-VJ0mlR0PSfDd3gPbEXDyBnuQNCysSnLOylorvdwolbAbhKqLhO4BKkLAF2tmdEGoN/s1600/CIMG5320.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNSoOMyz5OBn1aKV09PMmqCXQjY36VBzX4JnFdguMzePJd-8Ye0jxcES72ZSln3r4jNe0-rSRnpq-VJ0mlR0PSfDd3gPbEXDyBnuQNCysSnLOylorvdwolbAbhKqLhO4BKkLAF2tmdEGoN/s640/CIMG5320.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

The Next pair are quite interesting, featuring brown and blue pinstripes and slanted pockets, which existed before the '50s, but became a "new" old thing starting in 1954 according to one of my books.<br />

First up, a '40s/50's canvas "showerized" fedora. Looking through many old photo's and movies I've noticed that these fedora's started mainly for farmers and workers and by the '50s and '60s became quite a common accessory for the casual gentleman. I remember first seeing one like this in "The Long Long Trailer" (1954) and was quite intrigued by it. Breaths quite well too!<br />

Next we have a panama hat from the same period. While the brim is a little bent and the crown is a little stained and faded, the leather sweatband is in practically mint condition. I guess the original owner didn't care to store it properly.<br />

Here we have my new old "knockabout" post-war Dobbs 5th Avenue Westward. The sweatband has dried out and some moths had themselves a high grade wool snack, but it holds it's new shape quite well and has plenty of life left in it.<br />

Now for some caps!<br />
A real "Ivy" campus flat cap from the postwar period. I'm not certain which college campus it was worn on. I was think either Princeton or Pratt, but with some research based on where the cap was manufactured I discovered the P might stand for either the defunct Parsons College of Fairfield or Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport. <br />

.95 cent price tag has me thinking this was one of the more affordable models in it's day, though the quality and craftsmanship far surpasses today's most expensive caps.<br />

Well, now that my blog is caught up it's time for my current music obsession!<br />
"Boogie Woogie Rag" (1952). Two of the greatest genres of music in one!<br />

I just returned from a wonderful trip to Orlando Florida to visit Disney World and Universal studios, and I must say, it's truly a magical place! While both parks were opened long after the Golden Era, they harken back to it in more ways than one! Walt Disney himself always had a passion for the bygone days. I remember hearing someone say that "he always had one foot in the past, and one in the future". Universal I was expecting be a roller coaster dominated park, but to my amazement it was it's own Disneyland.<br />
<br />
The hotel I stayed in. Love it's design both inside and out!<br />

The Main Street train station, filled with electronic entertainment of the pre-1930 era. Mutoscopes, coin operated mechanical arcade games and this 1927 Seeburg KT Nickelodeon, sadly out of order to my dismay.<br />

Now on to Universal Studios!<br />
Stuck with the same era but went with an even more casual look. '50s Adam Milan weave straw hat, '50s Sport Jac shirt, Old Navy canvas pants and my new Bass saddle shoes. I walked in them 8+ hours a day for my entire trip and they held up wonderfully! Comfortable, light weight and VERY affordable, I highly reccommend them!<br />

And of course, England. Yes, I'm leanin' on a lampost at the corner of the street, but only to take a photo! Though I doubt anyone there knew I was referencing George Formby. Someday I'd like to go to Blackpool to attend the George Formby Appreciation Society get together. Hopefully by that point I'll actually have a banjo-uke!<br />

Style is once again gracing our cars. And it's about time too! I sported the post-war look with late '40s and '50s garb, and though one would think I was imagining that I was at the 1953 Auto Show, these great new designs kept my attention!<br />
The sleek Honda Crosstour with a fastback that reminds me of the great Harly Earl designs. <br />

Though a show for the latest and greatest cars, there were a few vintage ones on display. <br />
1952 Ford monster truck....literally. It growls.<br />

Hope everyone had a splendid Easter Sunday! This was the first cold weather Easter I've seen in a while! I had to switch from a light raincoat to my heavy wool overcoat, and normally on Easter it's warm enough that I don't need any kind of overcoat! This year for Easter lunch I went with the pre-war look with my '30s suit and tie paired with my '50s does '30s Dobbs fedora. Though not from the pre-WWII era I couldn't pass up an opportunity to sport my grandpa's '50s-'60s era cufflinks and tie bar. <br />

I also took a hike up to The Museum of the City of New York to see the "Designing Tomorrow: America's Worlds Fairs of the 1930's" exhibit. It was small, but still great! Streamline Moderne as far as the eye could see! Unfortunately no photo's were allowed of the exhibition (grumble), but they did have an "exhibit preview" with some World Fair posters outside the exhibit you could photograph. I tried to dress as close to 1939 era spec as I could with my 1939 union tag suit jacket, '30s tie and '60s (sort of) does '30s fedora. <br />

Et tu procrastination? At long last here's the post I promised. I posted this orphan suit jacket a while back, but one day while watching the 2nd season of Hogan's Hero's I noticed one of the extras, a french collaborator having just been given civilian clothes by Hogan's tailor is wearing a suit jacket that is so close a match I thought I had seen a ghost when I first saw it.<br />

Is it the same jacket? Most likely not, but who knows where these 65+ year old jackets have traveled.<br />
<br />
Next I'd like to show another illustration I did. I was inspired by all those cartoony '30s-'40s era pin-up drawings that have been done and reproduced over the years so I decided to take a crack at it. <br />

On the subject of cartoons, I had the opportunity of meeting animation legend Dan Haskett. A veteran of Hanna Barbera, Warner Brothers and Disney studios, he has been consistently working in the field since 1969 and has worked with many animation legends of the Golden Era. He currently works on Tom and Jerry and Scooby Doo and is best known for his character design work on "The Little Mermaid". I was wearing some vintage garb I've posted before, so I need not bore you with repetition ha ha. It's too washed out by the fluorescent lights, but I'm pointing at Hasketts signature under some of my own sketches I drew during his lecture.<br />

Not exactly a recording I'm "obsessed" with, but it's the most recent music I've been listening to. "Street Piano Medley" recorded in 1909.<br />

I myself have been going through this phase. While my wardrobe always consists of modern made clothing, there was a point where the only article of clothing I would buy had to have been made before 1967. Recently I've discovered that a lot of the clothing I look for or want to own has become increasingly rare and/or expensive, and I have decided to look for the modern and more times than less affordable equivalent. Today I'll be discussing a modern made barn/lumberjack jacket, made by Old Navy.<br />
<br />
I've been wanting a vintage hunting/lumberjack jacket for a while now, though my knowledge on how to date them is little to none, and with NYC vintage store prices as high as they are I'm reluctant to buy things I can't fully authenticate. Instead, I went with this classic coat Old Navy sells at a bargain price.<br />

Slightly fitted cut, faux fur type collar with no zippers to be found give this jacket a timeless look, though I wish it came with a half belt!<br />

Though it has a decent liner, the shell itself is lightweight and is suited better for fall and spring weather. <br />

The fact that it's classic styled means that it easily transitions to the era of choice. Paired with a wide newsboy and plain dress shirt (like the photo's above) it gives a '20s-'30s vibe.<br />

While pairing it with a medium brim porkpie and casual light colored plaid shirt gives off a post-war vibe. Thus why even if it's modern made, I still embrace it embrace it for being classic.<br />
<br />
Hope this gives the rest of you vintage enthusiasts some insight! Might I also add that modern made classic casual wear is of a much higher quality than modern made suits and sportcoats! I highly reccomend Old Navy. Vintage inspired clothing isn't their main thing, but whatever classic garb they do sell is made quite well! (What is this? A word from the sponsor?) <br />
<br />
I'll be making another post tomorrow as I would like to share another illustration I made that relates to the Golden Era and along with a jacket I think might have TV history!<br />
<br />
Until then enjoy this bit of pre-jukebox goodness! "Low Down Blues" played on a 1928 Seeburg Greyhound Nickelodeon! (I'm quite fascinated with these machines!)<br />

Now we're finally back to comfortable cold weather. We even had a record snowfall 2 days ago, compared to a very dry winter last year. All this snow reminded me I had a winter related vintage piece I hadn't shared yet.<br />
<br />
Here's a 1920's/'30s hunting cap I found on eBay a while ago. While it's a flat cap I've been searching a while for (they've become rare and highly priced due to shows like Boardwalk Empire), it's unfortunately very worn out. I took it to a local hat shop hoping they could at least clean it, but they said the material is too fragile, and it risks falling apart. Oh well, I'll keep it for reference.<br />

I recall as a kid not knowing these caps were called "flat/ivy/cabbie caps" and instead referred to them as a "pancake hat". On the topic of cake, that happens to be the subject of my latest music obsession.<br />

"I'd Have Baked a Cake" (1950) sung by Eve Young. <br />

I was recently reading up on the famed animator Grim Natwick, known for creating Betty Boop and having a career in animation that spanned over 75 years. I came across this caricature he did of himself circa 1926.<br />

The 36 year old Natwick was quite a drafstman. I believe this was done with a paintbrush. It's very of the time and I love it. For those who are curious, this was drawn on animation paper, as per the two peg bar holes on top.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Originally a homework assignment for college, I created this casual but elegant '30s woman, based off of illustrations I've seen in Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Ward catalogs. Haven't figured out a name for her yet. Any suggestions?<br />
<br />
That's all for now until the next post. Ending this one with the usual current music obession. "With My Little Stick of Blackpool Rock" by George Formby.<br />

Hope everyone had a great holiday. My family's little Christmas gathering was quite nice and everyone was quite pleased with all their presents. Since the gathering for Christmas eve was small, I didn't go all out formal, but I did keep the classic dressy look for it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Nothing super flashy, but went with earth tones for a casual but dressy post-war look, which with the book I'm holding enhances the look. Mostly modern garb, except for my new '30s tie (worn specifically for Christmas) and my late '50s chocolate brown gabardine slacks. <br />

Christmas morning I went with a more casual '50s look. '50s wool pants paired with a late '50s shirt.<br />

The flat cap, though not vintage, is a rare example of a modern flat cap with the width and body of 1910's-1930's era flat caps.<br />

Nice, heavy and thick. Army issue coats have always been of the highest quality and still are today. I believe this is the M1939, as it's dated 1940. I'm guessing this was an officers coat because of the gold buttons. I was skeptical at first because I thought they would be "too flashy" but I've come to like them as they pop against the "breen" color of the wool. <br />

The belted back is not only nice to look at, but it gives the coat the proper fit depending on how much or little you wear under it. Simple idea but quite clever! <br />

I also figured I needed some new (vintage) ties for my family gatherings this christmas, so I picked up these 2 '20s/'30s ties with Christmas colors/themes in mind. <br />

I just attended a very fun Christmas party at my old job last night, and had quite a good time. I decided I wanted to dress in my best do me do duds for the party. The party was semi-dressy, and quite refreshing for that fact. It wasn't the usual "secret santa" format, rather it was a "white elephant", where names are picked out of a hat and a person picks a present or steals a present that someone already opened. Quite fun!<br />

<br />
First I'd like to catch up with some of the garb I've been sporting for work the last few weeks.<br />
<br />
With the weather becoming unusually cold for this time of year, I've been sporting my new shawl lapel cardigan I picked up from Old Navy. While it's only about 55% wool with a synthetic mixture and a little too long in certain measurements I love this sweater and highly recommend it! It really compliments the "classic animator" look I try and attempt. <br />

Though Halloween was practically cancelled due to the hurricane, me and my coworkers did get to have some spooky fun at a party thrown by our bosses. Costumes were mandatory, and after racking my brain trying to figure out what to be on such short notice, I went with an idea I had since last Halloween, a steampunk army engineer.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Nothing super special about my costume. It's really just a mish mosh of some World War Two gear I got several Halloweens ago, with my dad's Vietnam army shirt from around 1970, a couple pocket watches, tweed pants, leather gloves, real glass and metal goggles, and a cheap costume civil war union cap. Though being at a cartoon studio, I kind of wished I went as a cartoon character like I did last halloween. Anyone remember Chuck Jones' "The Dover Boys" (1942)? <br />

Now I'd like share some recent hat finds.<br />
<br />
First this tweed flat cap, made by Empire Caps. The little belt on the back says '50s to me, though I'm not entirely sure when that came into vogue exactly.<br />
<br />

Maybe it's because I'm a New Yorker, but I love the logo on this cap! <br />

The belt on the back looks almost functional with the extra material, unlike some other caps I've seen where it's just a short piece of material with a buckle sewn to the back. I think this more realistic belt is because it's custom made, rather than ready to wear. <br />

Next is a real pearl of a fedora.<br />
