    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    After WWII, you start hearing guys referring to each other in civilian life as "soldier," a definite hangover from wartime routine. Also a lot of army terms entered the lexicon, some still to this day, like "gremlins," "going AWOL," "chickenshit," "Dear John letter," "jeep," "yardbird," etc. etc.

    40s Bold Paisley Lavnder Tie- Knot planned

    AC, it means that the there is a space of solid color (or pattern in some cases) that is different than the rest of the pattern blocked off where the knot of the tie is. That way, it provides some contrast to the design. It was popular in the 40's and 50's.

    Data Recorders, Personal Vehicles and Mass Transit

    I know that New Orleans is now in the middle of expanding their streetcar line. I also see a new nationwide high-speed passenger rail system in the future. I think America's obsession with the automobile is slowly puttering out, especially with the heavy influx of mediocre, design-barren imports...

    The Rise of the Term "True Vintage"

    Has anyone else noticed this? I just noticed it the other day but eBay now offers a category when listing an item called "true vintage." I found this interesting because it's obviously a term invented to differentiate what is actually a vintage item from all of the reproductions and...

    Reproduction classic workwear

    I'm wondering if the workwear "look" is going to fall out of fashion soon in favor of a sunnier, brighter look. I hope so, that means more cheap stuff for us!
