    Nice BeltBack Brings USD112

    Congratulations on your wins! Very nice coat. If you ever need to get rid of it let me know. I have been looking at that sellers stuff. Does anyone know them, and are they reliable? I hope to buy from them if they continue to have such wonderful things.

    Looking for good quality reproductions, or a good source for vintage

    Ok, so during and after the war they were less common, but still around. were they still more popular than today? What are the rules (as in, what looks good) when you want to wear a waistcoat but don't have a matching one for the suit? Colour matching has never been my thing...I used to...

    Looking for good quality reproductions, or a good source for vintage

    Sorry for resurrecting this post, but I was curious...how common were waistcoats in the mid 30's through the late 40's? It seems they were at least common with single breasted suits, or maybe I just notice these more. Did the war have any influence on the waistcoat? I can't really tell if...

    BRACES (SUSPENDERS)

    I have been thinking of making the switch to braces for a few years, and really considering it lately. Where should I start...I was thinking the Naked Lady ones on the Thurston site.

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    Wristwatches are for girls. I have tried many times to wear a watch on my wrist throughout my life, and along with being uncomfortable they get in the way and get damaged too easily. I have liked pocketwatches since I was young, so I fall into that camp...but i do a lot of quirky things...

    Fur felt industry vs animal protection issue

    Perhaps true, however they are a very big part of our lifestyle, and attempting to replace everything they provide for us would be more problematic than it is worth. Plus they taste yummy, and I have yet to find a good alternative to leather footwear, especially againt snakes in the desert...

    Fur felt industry vs animal protection issue

    Bears in China with pipes in their guts? Why, and what are the bears used for? With pets, many people abuse or neglect their pets...or have worthless ones. I have never understood the purpose of having a pocket sized dog. What do they do other than irritate everyone? I have no doubt that...

    Fur felt industry vs animal protection issue

    I don't know if chickens have feelings. I do care, and I know that other non-human animals do seem to show emotions, and I have seen things that would seem to be examples of birds showing emotion. One of these is these is also the reason that they clip the beaks of some chickens in those...

    Fur felt industry vs animal protection issue

    I hate having animals suffer without reason, and would rather my chicken sandwich come from a farm where the chicken was out scratching in the dirt with all the other chickens, but this kind of stuff isn't likely to change, regardless of how much paint is thrown on people in hats (won't they...

    Nice J&M specs - size US10

    "JOHNSTON&MURPHY leather dress shoes two-ton Sz.10" They sound a bit heavy. Can't imagine they would be good for walking a lot. Also, I think the shipping might need to be recalculated.
