    What are these for?

    I recently purchased a corduroy coat from an antiques shop and I noticed it has a sewn in half belt and two D ring metal hooks hanging in the back. It's a bit large for me but would make a suitable short top coat while out riding. The hooks have me perplexed. My speculation is that it's a fly...

    Orvis Wax Cotton Anorak

    I happened to notice this anorak at the Orvis website tonight and I'm wondering if anyone here owns one and, if so, what you think of it. I love wax cotton stuff and I've always wanted an anorak and am tempted to go for it. Are there any other sources for anoraks that anyone can recommend...

    Sources for narrow widths

    I drool over many of the shoes and boots posted here but my problem is that I wear a narrow (B) width and can't find much in my size. I can't justify buying a pair of shoes unless they fit properly. When it comes to B width about the only things I can find are extremely dressy, athletic...

    Thirties sweater/jumper

    I'd like to know a bit more about the style of sweater/jumper worn by Isherwood and Spender in this photograph. It seems to be similar to modern day crewnecks but is cut in a way that reveals more of their ties. Any name for these or pictures that show them uncovered...
