    The Captain's (Jürgen Prochnow) Sweater in the film "Das Boot" search

    i got one of these off of ebay yesterday, 2XL, it should arrive soon. finding the correct hat is more of a challenge; there are many captain's hats repros out there but way fewer lieutenants'.

    ADAM ALLEY

    not sure where to best place this, so here seems about as good as any. just acquired this adam today in shartlesville, PA. cost =$0.00 (explanation: the owner of the shop asked $8 for it, but then my wife bargained for a vintage aluminum xmas tree, and the hat got thrown in for free.)...

    How often did the average man get a haircut?

    it seems like in the Andy Griffith show that men had a "trim" almost daily, but of course that was more a dramatic device than anything. i wonder though if there was a cultural difference between southern states and northern states in this respect.

    WWII Photos - Taken / Collected by Family Members

    thanks widebrim! i know some people have reacted strangely that he was born in germany and fought in the U.S. Navy, but i know he was very proud that he could serve. i also know that it was the policy of the u.s. military to send americans of german origin to the pacific and americans of...

    McSorley's gets a dusting.

    i've been there i think twice, both times the guy serving the tiny mugs of beer seemed kind of pissed off, but it was a good time nonetheless. a real time warp.

    WWII Photos - Taken / Collected by Family Members

    the story of my grandfather (dad's father) is somewhat similar - the difference is that my grandfather emigrated from bavaria to the u.s. in the 1920s, and then was drafted into the u.s. navy in 1944. he served on an LST in the pacific, LST 708, and was the "baker" in the kitchen according to...

    What do you think of the Indiana Jones hats?

    i bought my indiana jones hat in about 1985 from a britches great outdoors - it is a wool hat with the temple of doom imagery on the inside as others have posted. i remember there being a black model for sale also. as others have mentioned, the color, style, and quality are not the best, but i...

    Ghost signs

    thanks! here is another one - it was recently "restored," i.e. painted to look like new, but i loved the old version so much better. you can see this on the west side of 83 north as you are driving through baltimore.

    Ghost signs

    i remember when living down in charlottesville, virginia, i would see ghost signs all the time when buildings were torn down or renovated. here in baltimore, the place is lousy with ghost signs. there are flickr groups as mentioned above. the best one by far is the one in fell's point to vote...

    Just moved to Kenosha, WI ~ What's to do?

    i can't vouch for the establishment, and this is thematically post-golden era, but there is the rendezvous tiki lounge there - http://www.rendezvous-tiki-lounge.com/

    Any cool Art Deco or 1920s/30s clubs/bars where you live?

    in baltimore there is the OWL BAR - located in the Belvedere hotel, which you might remember from the Mad Men episode where Sal has a dalliance with a bellboy. the owl bar was a speakeasy during prohibition: when the owl's eyes over the bar lit up, that meant that booze was being served...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    hello, johnny dollar here, back after a long hiatus. i live outside of baltimore, maryland - recently moved into a 1954 ranch house and am restoring it to period (more or less). i have a fairly sizable hat collection, although these days i'm more likely to be sporting my straw hats and aloha...

    Submachineguns

    The Thompson .45 ACP. Nothing sound like a Tommy gun. It has a pretty good intimidation factor, and the power to back it up. It does have a limited range, but how often do you hear of stories of solders killing an enemy at 300 or 500 yards. The one other thing that is useful about the...

    Personal Heat

    There is nothing that makes you feel more secure than being able to carry. I feel that the right to carry is very important. If there is one thing that you can be sure of is that the government is not always going to be able to protect you. My state has "shall issue permits", and I agree with...

    Shoulder holsters

    I have not been able to find any vintage shoulder holsters for my 1911. You can get the WWII military shoulder holster. I have not seen one in person yet but Galco has a new vertical shoulder holster that is pretty close to a vintage style. Remember handguns are suppose to be comforting, not...
