My son got me a mechanical last year for Father’s Day I use a fob for pocket a 1/2 Albert with a vest and never never snap the cover close that is all Hollywood.

    I bought a pocket watch finally in early 2017. I'd wanted one for some time. Since I was working as an over-the-road driver I figured it'd be a good idea since I sat driving most of the time. I was surprised at the number of people I'd run across who had never seen one before. I'm currently 67 and knew a few elders who carried one when I was growing up. The most surprising thing was the number of young people who couldn't tell time by it.🤷🏼‍♂️ I mostly wear Dickies shirts that have two pockets and I'll keep the watch in the right one with the chain going to the eyelet in the flap, across to the other pocket or to the top button hole of the shirt. Pulling it out is a really good conversation starter.

    I’ve seen some chains referred to as railroad style chains that have a circular clasp on the end. How would this be worn? My first thought was it clasped to a button on the vest.

    • @my1928
      @my1928  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Edward, I can’t speak specifically to the Railroad Style name but your description of the circular clasp sounds familiar, and similar to something that I have. It is likely that this clasp style was preferred amongst those that worked on the railway because it was more secure than say a t-bar. Additionally, that clasp would have made it possible to be worn with or without a vest/waistcoat. IE- a universal design that could be worn via a loop on a pair of overalls as well as the buttonhole on a vest/waistcoat. Id love to explore this question more and may make a video regarding the different clasp styles. Thanks for your great question, and thanks for watching.

    Personally I wear it in the Breast pocket below my pocket square , but I don't tie the chain , I just pull it out when I want . Currently few people would even guess that the strap or chain belongs to a pocket watch , therefore many believe is my glasses chain , . Once I pulled up mine , was in the Titanic movie aniversary and one person said " Seemed that you liked the movie you invest in old fashion "

    I'm curious what watch(es) you wear.
    I'll probably go the Levi's route. I'm about to receive a Charles Hubert gold (filled, I'm sure) pocket watch as a retirement gift. Being retired, I normally don't wear a watch... I no longer have to be on time... ever.... Hahahahaha!
    PS Isn't "waistcoat" pronounced "weskit?" Maybe that's just the Brits?

      Hi Nikole, There are several options you can consider as an addition to your dresses. One of the most common ways to wear a pocket watch with a dress is to wear it around your neck just like you would a necklace. Additionally, you could look into a Nurses Watch Pin. The watch itself is smaller and lighter and can be pinned to your dress. The watch face is also created inversely so that you don't have to remove the watch to check the time. Beyond that, it becomes difficult to wear one without pockets. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

      Another option- if you are wearing a belt with your dress- is to get a leather pouch that fits the pocket watch. Some watches actually come with a stiff leather pouch that has built in cuts for the belt to slide through. You could then wear the watch and pouch on its own or attach a watch chain to the belt.

    • @my1928
      @my1928  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great question, Peter.
      Because grey is a neutral, it pairs well with most colours. So gold, bronze, and silver are all great options. However, gold, rose gold, and bronze will add warmer tones and be more noticeable against a grey suit.

    Do you know any casual ways to wear it. Like could I attach it to my shorts or should I just lose the chain.

    • @my1928
      @my1928  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Noah, you absolutely can wear a pocket watch with shorts. I have a shorter chain that I wear with shorts, and with jeans. I don’t wear a watch fob if I am wearing it with a casual outfit, but a chain is still a great way to wear it. If you’d rather skip the chain, there are pouches that slide onto your belt specifically designed for carrying a pocket watch.

      BoBu - Yes. It can hang on the pants as long it is a secure fit. Thicker, heavier fabrics like denim work well with this method.

    • @my1928
      @my1928  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sounds like a great idea. Just keep in mind that tweed is heavy and when worn in layers, inside, it will make you quite warm. If you are going to be dancing or otherwise active, be prepared to shed your jacket or waistcoat so you don’t overheat.
      Have fun!
