Being called by your first name at work
Uhhh, that's a Marine Corp base he's talking about. The Army and Marines have different protocols,,,,just sayin'( 8 yr Marine here). A Marine motioning a person thru the gate could be misconstrued ( by the casual non-obesrver) to be a salute, when in fact, it isn't. AFA Marine protocol...- cchgn

Being called by your first name at work
I'm a master Glazier and in the construction arena, most folks like nicknames, usually where they're from, also something unique about them or whatever they prefer. So we have Montana, Utah, Brooklyn, etc., I'd be Gator( from Florida). One guy from Seattle prefers the name Scissors, a name...- cchgn

What do you use to shave?
well, you didn't read the whole thread, why am I not surprised? If you did, you'd see that this isn't a contest. This thread( as part of this forum) is more about the vintage shaving experience, using vintage equipment. IMO, whether you use vintage or modern equipment, the wetshaving...- cchgn

Bourbon
That's ok, some states in our Union do the same. Like in Ohio, they're called State stores. Btw, having family in Kentucky and spending half my life there, I'm kinda biased to Bourbon. The truth is, Bourbon came from the moonshine industry there. Bourbon is the beautiful child of charred...- cchgn

New Kind of Thread Idea: Your Vintage Life
I'd get myself as, quickly as possible, to either a bookie or a Speculater( which ever had the most money) and we'd both quietly make a bunch of money, while I hang out at his place, 'til he gets me credentials.- cchgn

Show us their suits
Well, you know, in all the classic (American) movies, the tell tale sign of a detective or PI was the cheap suits,,,,lol. -
The right hat, the right look
Yes he does, we watch "Who wants to be a millionare" every night. The thing is, with him and John candy, et al, they have professional dressers that tells them what looks good on them. You'll never see Cedric sporting a Raiders Fedora and A2 jacket. That's my point. Besides Raiders( which... -
The right hat, the right look
I'm really not either, I'm using actors as the easy example. What I mean is, certain hats compliment fat, round faces, but not others. long thin faces need a different hat to compliment them, short squat faces, something else. I'm hearing folks saying that anyone can wear anything they want... -

The right hat, the right look
well, I guess I just don't understand this "attitude' thing. In my world, copping an attitude is a bad thing. Acting like someone you're not is frowned upon down here in the South. You're' either a redneck or gay or a city boy, we don't fake anything and they all dress different and have their... -
The right hat, the right look
Well, those were quick, right off the bat, but there's ALOT more. The statement that anyone can wear anything, if they just had the right attitude....I think not. -
The right hat, the right look
Man, I don't know about attitude being the key to wearing anything. John Candy can NOT pull off the Dr Jones of the Raiders look, no matter how much attitude he puts into it. Cedric the Entertainer can NOT pull off a 3 piece and Fedora like Bogart could, with a car load of attitude. .. -
The right hat, the right look
Now that hat suits you!!! That's it, Brando in the Wild Bunch. John Wayne as the gentleman farmer with Maureen o' Hara. Seriously, that hat compliments you....it seems like the Fedora(and the one in your avatar) and you both( you and your hat) are competing with each other. Btw, Master... -
The right hat, the right look
Some faces can wear anything- square jawed, symetrical, skinny face. Other faces can wear nothing that looks good. I look at old movie stars- Gable, Grant, Peck, then look at the round face of Edward G. Robinson. The long face of Stewart.
