Classic firearms of the classic era.
Yesterday, I was talking with a lawyer friend, and we got to discussing out mutual admiration for some of the classic .380 handguns. Walther PP/PPK, Mauser, Colt. This led to a discussion of firearm design. Back in the classic days, firearms were made for both function and appearance...- MagistrateChris

A Hat for Camp
In a couple of months, I will don my adventuring gear and head off to camp with my Scouts. As you can no doubt sense, I'll be facing great danger along the way. ;) What I need are some suggestions for a hat to wear at camp. I'm partial to the Indy type fedora, but frankly expect that June...- MagistrateChris

Short Sleeved Dress Shirts With a Suit?
Another magistrate and I are arguing about the appropriateness of wearing a short sleeved dress shirt with a suit, or even with a blaser and tie. I don't believe that it's appropriate. In fact, when I see a short sleeved dress shirt with a tie and jacket, I just cringe. He's all for it...- MagistrateChris

Black Tie optional events...
I've been invited to a "black tie optional" event, and would truly prefer to wear one of my good suits than rent a tux, due to timing issues on the day of the event, the day after, etc. The question I have is what guidelines I need to work with for this kind of event. I know a dark suit is...- MagistrateChris

Now that we're in the back room, looking iout for the coppers...
Is this the right place to talk about our heaters? You know, our piece? Our guns? Right now I'm shopping for a new piece. I've been looking for a Smith 1917, the .45 ACP revolver. Smith is making a new/old version now. What do you say, can we talk about our vintage firepower here?- MagistrateChris

The Arizona and Missouri
The Mrs. and I just got back from ten days in paradise, known to the world as Oahu. Amazing. Of course, being my first trip, we had to visit the Arizona memorial. I shed a few tears on the deck of the memorial, and we then went over to the Missouri. It's an amazing way to spend half a day...- MagistrateChris

Belts, braces, or both
Just curious as to what is preferred around here. To start, I've always been a belt man, but that may be due more to the fact that I needed a belt for my siderm/holster than any conscious fashion choice.- MagistrateChris

A shoe question
I was told a long time ago when I started dressing like a lawyer that black dress shoes went with greens, greys, and black suits, and cordovan/oxblood went with blues, browns, greys, and others. I've stayed with that for 12 tears, but am wondering if it is appropriate to mix things up beyond...- MagistrateChris

Too much polishing?
Friends, Ever since I learned how (the hard way) ate West Point, I have spit polished all of my dress shoes, getting that great, deep, relflective luster on the cap toes and a good general polish on the body of the shoes. Just like Captain Miller taught me before I reported to CBT. Anyways...- MagistrateChris
