We don't talk about accessories, but why the hell not? Accessories are awesome!
Ray-Bans
Everyone owns a pair of Ray-Bans - or at least a knock-off of one of their silhouettes - but did you know that there's a distinct difference between the Luxxotica Ray-Bans you can buy today, and the Ray-Bans made famous by people like JFK and '80s Tom Cruise? Back in the old, bad days Bausch & Lamb produced Ray Bans, and for true Ray Ban collectors B&L Ray Bans are the only way to go. This thread, overseen by musehead, is an exhaustive question and answer session about the values and attributes of Bausch & Lamb sunglasses, identifying them, and finding out how much those old glasses you found in the back of your dad's '70's corvette costs.
Watches!
Goddamn StyleForum posters own some incredible watches. This thread is Appreciation-worthy (and equivalent to a minor forum of its own), and every thread is chock full of drool-worthy examples of what you can get if you spend thousands of dollars on a Swiss-made timepiece which is less accurate (and less "functional") than a $15 quartz -driven Micky Mouse watch you bought at a Chinatown stand.
Shoe Care
This thread is about accessories on two levels: first, shoes themselves are considered an "accessory" in some camps, but shoes themselves can have accessories - the expensive brushes, dyes and clothes you use to maintain your expensive footwear! From Saphir cremes, to techniques to antique your shoes and tricks for transforming that ugly green/bronze pair of boots into something desirable. Plus, shoe trees. Lots of shoe trees.
