Pimpin’!

Those (of us?) who want to truly get down with their Victorian bad self in real life can now do so thanks to Gentlemen’s Emporium. Male and female garb, pocket watches and even a portable calligrapher’s writing desk are available! And I thought it was going to be a boring weekend.

Now that's a great site. Women clothing is awful but men were much more elegant back then, for sure.
I'd love some of those silk cravats. Why can't they just ship overseas?

Know any similar place in Tokyo?

Guys, Lovely stuff, Respect and all. But I am a Brit and I have only one point to make: hats are always, always, worn with a forward rake. Never, ever, put a hat on the back of your head like in the Farnsworth and Livingston photos above. If the brim of your hat isn't just over your eyebrow then you are either an actor or a poseur (is there a difference?). Remember: think 19thC: we do not wish to see your stupid porcine faces - we wish to admire the cut of your cloth and the quality of your hat. Keep up the good work. An admiring subscriber. Regards, Tripper

I KNEW something didn't look right with Farnsworth and Livingston!
They look more like gamblers in the Wild West then British Victorians.

Tripper: Thanks for the kind words. I agree -- but alas, by Victorian they mean "American Victorian" (i.e. Teddy Rooseveltian). If there is some jolly Imperial British (i.e. REAL Victorian) garb for sale out there, please do let us know.
