Dapper Day Visits the Natural History Museum
Warning: Post is slightly NSFW due to tattoo exhibit pictures.
Unlike the nocturnal escapades of Ben Stiller’s Larry Daley, the guys and I only spent an afternoon at the museum. Luckily, there we didn’t have any trouble from the tablet of Ahkmenrah.
A Vintage Christmas Party #2
The vintage crew is back at the Reese household for a Christmas party! It’s a yearly tradition and a must for any vintage enthusiast, new or old.
Fun with Unique Vintage Outerwear
Time keep our layering theme going by visiting the deep reaches of my wardrobe and bringing out some cool, unique vintage outerwear!
“A Night in Casablanca” at LONO Hollywood
I don’t go out drinking often (if at all), but when I do, it’s with people who like vintage fashion.
Resources For Dressing Vintage and Vintage-Inspired
Dapper Day is finally here, and while I do like to write a post each time (to help you get dressed), I thought it would be helpful to compile a list of articles that I think can help you get started with vintage or vintage inspired style!
Ethan’s Grails: The 1930’s Unstructured Navy Flannel DB Belt Back Jacket
Phew. That title is a mouthful, isn’t it?
As I continue to be more intentional in my buying (instead of buying random thrifts for the sake of tailoring), I’ve decided that my money could be better used on obtaining grails, both for wear and use in a bespoke reproduction. One of the first ones was the 1930’s brown SB patch pocket suit (with gorgeous lapels). This jacket was the next one.
Ethan’s Grails: The Brown 1930s/40s SB with Patch Pockets
Time to start a new feature on this blog: Ethan’s grails. The star of this inaugural piece is a fantastic suit with the cut and designs I’ve been obsessed with ever since I got into vintage menswear. I may just have to get it replicated (with updated fit details).

Long post!
In a continuation of last year, I was invited to the latest Dapper Day x LACMA event! This time they centered the festivities around their Chagall exhibit: fantasies for the stage.
