Sported a couple of true vintage items today. The Mark Fore & Strike sport coat I found thrifting in Latrobe. There is some great history on this company, once known as “the tropical Abercrombie & Fitch”. The cravat or ascot says it’s from Burlington Arcade in London. This shopping complex still exists and was founded in 1819 “for the sale of jewelry and fancy articles of fashionable demand, for the gratification of the public”. I am very gratified, thanks. The “WI” threw me a curve and had me searching the West Indies for info. Still not sure to what it refers. #vintage #vintagestyle #vintageclothing #vintageleisure #churchclothes #church #www2c #fashion #style #mensfashion #mensstyle #menswear @burlingtonarcade
My latest article is a book review of an intriguing Hollywood autobiography. Samuel Z. Arkoff started American-International Pictures with his friend and partner James H. Nicholson at a time when television was threatening the movie business. But AIP was able to carve out a corner of the industry by providing young people with monsters, beach parties, bikers, hippies, Poe horrors, two-headed transplants, etc., etc.... Read it now.

Spring has sprung. Croft & Barrow jacket from @kohls with one of my French cuff shirts and a vintage tie I call Meringue. It’s from the Wemlon by Wembley collection, made of Wemlon polyester, in use from 1962 to 1979. The tie is held nicely in place by my tie magnet from @tiemags And my old golf shoes. Indoor photos today; it’s pouring rain. #kohlsfinds #spring #springisintheair #springfashion #springvibes #mensfashion #mensstyle #menswear #churchclothes #church #www2c #homemadefashion #vintagefashion #beyourself
Tonight on Miami Vice it’s episode 4.6: God’s Work. Original airdate November 6, 1987. Rosanna DeSoto and @esai_morales play mother and son; just as they had five months earlier in La Bamba. This episode also features Anthony Quinn’s son, Francesco. 📺🌴 #miami #miamivice #esaimorales #80s #80svintage #80stv #classictv #tv #television #classic #vintageleisure
