, Obama was was photographed outside a Washington museum over the weekend wearing this old looking cafe racer type. Any idea on a possible maker? I happy I'm not the only one who sometimes wears jackets with sleeves a tad long.
i know he went on his great adventure and had to pull out due to mechanical trouble but he has disappeared from here. Last seen August 28th? Arguably the most knowledge poster here and now missing. Hope he comes back.
Who wants to buy a genuine Italian leather machinist apron matched with English elastic and solid brass fittings? A brass name plaque is an optional extra. Will go well with engineer boots no doubt.

Came across these photos of chain gang prisoners from the gritty 1932 film HELL'S HIGHWAY. Cool looking maybe denim shirts with target circles painted or sewn on their backs. Anyone know if they existed for real or just a fantasy? Makes the very powerful unsaid statement that one would be shot...
Did some rudimentary research on the ratio of horses to mules in the US. As I have never seen a mule leather label I assume mule was legally labled as horse. A ball park figure gives about a 25% mule to 75% horse ratio pre 1940 with peak horse and mule population of about 26 million around 1925...

Whiz bang kitchen for the modern woman circa 1934 in glorious Technicolor. Mrs Mortimer Jones wins the battle against drudgery. Sorry for butting in where I don't belong.

I know this scam has been around for decades and a friend of mine got caught out about 18 years ago with it and bought 6 fake leather jackets from a scammer.
Yesterday I was doing some shopping when a car pulled over. An Italian man got out, told me he was hopelessly lost and trying to get...
Just curious how long cigars keep for and still be acceptable to smoke? I found an unopened box of Don Diego Robustas that I stored away about 25 years ago and long forgotten. They were a gift. They were kept in a cool dark place and constant temperature.. They still look good and smell nice...
Before the middle of 1934, American film before the enactment of the Breen Code enjoyed a period of minimal censorship and freedom for filmmakers to be daring and innovative. These are my favourite all time Golden Era films. This was a period when women could be tough, liberated, bad or all...
For our Aussie members. Does anyone know of a good jacket repairer in Melbourne area who understands vintage jackets? Néed to have new knits attached to an original A2 and also some holes repaired on another.
Thanks all.
