I’ve also been lucky enough this year to have a couple of formal events! A vintage white tie ensemble with a 1920 antique Lincoln Bennett top hat! And a Jos. A. Bank shawl lapel tuxedo.

Porn Blogs: I Will Block You!
I can’t believe I’m having to post this, but in the last 48 hours I’ve been followed by at least 5 blogs focusing on adult content (specifically blogs featuring pipe/cigar gay male fetish content). If you are a porn blog, you will be reported and blocked. I do not condone any of your content, and do not wish for my blog to be associated directly or indirectly with yours.
This obviously needs restating as I’ve had to block several accounts recently.
Seriously?? 4 gay porn accounts in 2 days?? Isn’t Tumblr supposed to be free of adult content now?! Must be bots WHO DONT READ MY BIO ABOUT HOW I WILL BLOCK ANY AND ALL PORN ACCOUNTS!! @staff is there a way to change my settings to force people to request to follow me so I can approve all followers??
My kind of house!
Recent outfits I’ve worn during mandatory quarantine at home. Just because we are locked up doesn’t mean that we must sacrifice our standards!
What is it about the Victorian Gentleman aesthetic that you like?
I really should clarify this in my bio... what I actually like is the early/mid-Edwardian English aesthetic, which was heavily influenced by Victorian standards but abandoned much of its “cluttered” appearance. I’ve since learned the difference through my own research.
To answer your question, what I love is the regal-ness and splendor of the aesthetic. Carved hardwood elements, heavy furniture, men and women always dressing their best (I miss the days when men would wear suits daily, or had specific types out outfits for activities that still communicated “gentleman” to the passerby). There is something timeless about the design. It never seems to go out of style, whether original or when recreated properly. In a world that changes every ten years or so, it provides something of a constant to look back on and continue to enjoy. I hope that answers your question?

Before and after on a thrift store find! Johnston & Murphy shoes I found for $6.00, plus a couple of hours of time and elbow grease has produced nearly perfect shoes again! Further evidence in favor of buying quality and refurbishing and taking care of garments, instead of replacing them at the first sign of wear and tear.
Trying out my new fedoras! The gray and black are both vintage I scored on eBay for pennies!
If you haven’t tried the #DowntonAbbey cookbook yet, you simply must order it! Wonderful authentic Victorian and Edwardian English recipes converted for modern measurements and ingredients available at today’s super markets to bring a little bit of Downton home with you!
Another menswear score!! A Suit Supply rabbit fur felt fedora at Goodwill for $6!
Another great eBay purchase! A 1950’s Cavanagh fedora in gray!
Bought my first vintage hat on eBay today! Can’t wait for it to arrive!
I made Downton Abbey recipe scones! Ah to be an Anglophile!
