    Old Leather Shaving Kit Needs New Liner

    I have a nice shaving kit made of good quality leather. Unfortunately the liner was some type of vinyl. I guess the designer's intent was to have the vinyl liner so that wet things could be thrown in there. In any case, after a couple of decades of use the vinyl is all ripped up. The vinyl...

    Recommendation for Leather Gloves

    I'd like a recommendation(s) for leather gloves. I would like them to be brown, but black or very deep blue like the old calf-skins I used to see would be okay too. I need the leather skin to be thin and close to the fingers so that I can actually do things with my fingers while wearing the...

    I picked up a couple of these the other day. Redhead brand. New. I am interested in any recommendations for other chamois shirts, vintage or new, that you find practical for outdoor wear. Currently I use these somewhat as an outer garment on cool evenings as opposed to a light jacket or...

    Cuban Cigars

    I don't know about the rest of you, and politics aside, I am anticipating the return of Cuban cigars to the US within the next few years. I am wondering how this is going to effect world prices, and how La Casa del Habano outlets will be set up in the US.

    Tobacco, Spirits, Gambling...

    Glad to see this subforum recast as such. Tobacco - the Partagas Series D No. 4. This cigar is not available in the US. It is very much my favorite cigar. For domestic smoking I prefer the Padron 1964 Anniversary in natural. This is a Nicaraguan cigar, though some are actually rolled in...

    Army Navy Game Rivalry

    Used to be a big game back in the WW2. To some of us it still is. Looks like with all the distractions of the summit at Annapolis, West Point was able to steal something from the Naval Academy

    Sweater Weaver

    I have a BRD military sweater with a bunch of holes in it. Rather then darn it, does anyone know if there is some type of internet service where I could send it away to have it repaired by weaving? I'm thinking that if I darn it, then it will just appear too puckered. Thanks, M8

    Shoe Shine - Classic Style

    Nice article on shining shoes in the recent issue of Classic Style. Those of us who were in the military generally "look down" shortly after an introduction is made. One of my standards is to also ensure that heels and toes don't look too worn. I use "the pencil test". That is I take a...

    I'm just back from a 5-week gig in Africa. Looks like I will continue to do work out that ways over the next couple of years. Classic Style is such a great magazine. Any chance of us getting a subforum here specifically targeted to discuss the magazine articles? Cheers, M8
