Old's Cool Roller Skater!

 

 

Gene Kelly.....what a genius! 

 

He could sing, he could dance, he could act, he could definitely roller skate! 

 

Taken from the movie 'It's Always Fair Weather' by MGM, 1955.



Knit for Victory!

One thing we love picking up on our travels is vintage knitting patterns, especially the ones from the 1940s.  They're always so evocative of the time.

These are definitely amongst our favourite designs.

The pose on each one is just perfect!

We only wish we know how to knit!

The Crombie Coat

When the weather turns cold like it did this morning every discerning gentleman should still take care with his appearance.

Cary Grant knew how to do it properly and looked very stylish in his Crombie coat.  Crombie have been producing menswear for over 200 years now and they still remain timeless classics. 

Every good gentleman should own one!

What a shoe-perb haul!

It's been a busy few weeks here at Old's Cool Traders. We've been out and about snapping up some lovely vintage clothes and costume jewellery for discerning ladies and gents and here's a particularly glamorous pair of leather shoes that we think date back to the 80s. We know, it barely seems like 5 minutes ago eh?

Cravat's the way to do it...

Sadly you don't see too many cravat wearers these days but we love them! If you've ever wondered how to tie one here's a handy little guide. Splendid stuff!
