Hey Rick, how does the sizing run on those? They only have them in whole sizes and I normally take a 7.5 D.

I've been thinking of doing FR reeinactment - I'm in Sycamore. I have friends who used to do Belgian Resistance, let me know if you're interested and I'll pursue it...

Dancing in tails Ok, pretty sure I did, but I'll try again... Here I am dancing with my lovely wife at the Reenactor Fest Ball. Properly fitting tails make even crappy dancers like me look elegant. Anyone who has or can acquire a tux should do so and look for an excuse to wear it. Let's...

One more post to post pictures - and now I need none.

I didn't see the matching pants - am I missing something? They don't describe it as a belt back. Unfortunately, it does not seem to be in any stores in Illinois.

Here's mine. I've had it for more than 30 years. Don't think I could manage without it. Incidently, that's a genuine Whippet I scored on eBay for $20. The stroller jacket was less than that. In fact, the shirt and tie cost more than the rest of the ensemble.

Smokey Bear types in khaki felt are the traditional choice. I still remember a few of the adult leaders wearing them when I worked at a Boy Scout camp in the late 60's. If you search, you can probably get an army surplus one for cheap. I guy on eBay just had a bunch of fur felt ones for the...

Marathon Havershaw, What is the brim size of the marathon? Thanks. Tim

He was given the hat when he was a teenager.. Remember the opening of The Last Crusade?
