    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    I think it's completely possible that there could be a next great depression. There are all the factors that lead to one (rampant business practices, large volumes of the homeless, high unemployment and underemployment), and I'd also gladly give up half of my pay so that I could have decent...

    Show us your Guns!

    Hello, I'm looking into getting a present for my grandfather, who is absolutely nuts about old pistols. I'm willing to spend whatever it may cost to get the perfect piece, but there is one gun in particular I've been thinking about. When he was in the army, he captured a stolen Webley Mark IV...

    Vintage Man Caves

    I've been considering building a new writing/smoking den since we tore down the old shed in the backyard. I've quit smoking and it's gotten too damn hot for me to do anything outdoorsy(it was over 101 today plus heat index). But once it gets colder I'll consider it. I'm thinking something along...

    Show us your Pipes

    This is my pipe, a Savinelli Trevere 616. Rusticated and a good smoke. Sadly I have been forced to quit for a variety of reasons, mostly because I don't have a place to smoke anymore. I used to smoke at school, but unfortunately my campus went tobacco free and my dear brother, mother, and father...

    Is chivalry dead?

    I was taught by my parents to be courteous and chivalrous. I give my seat up to young ladies, open doors, and do my best to treat my betters with the utmost respect. I am sickened by the lack of manners that some people have. My parents would have hit me upside my head if I had acted the way...

    "Where there's tea, there's hope"

    Being from the south, until I was about 9 I had no idea that people consumed tea hot. I was raised on coffee, but when I turned nine, a friend of my mothers came back from across the pond and introduced me to tea. Currently I'm a fan of Twinning's Earl Grey and English Breakfast. I also have a...

    Goorin Bros Wool MINT 7 1/4

    Terribly sorry but I've had to buy a wedding present for my cousin on short notice, and won't be able to buy the hat as a result. Damn shame.

    Resistol Fedora/Western Crossover on Ebay, 7 1/8, For Peanuts!

    Just got outbid! I hope whoever gets it loves the hat as much as I would have, I just don't have the cash.

    Ladies and Gents from the Lone Star State

    Another Texan in the house! I'm from Groves, a suburb of Port Arthur, and the classic American small town, lots of churches and football....and a lot of people who know zippity-do-dah about good fashion. Any loungers that live around me?

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    Wow, you guys are lucky to have such great cars and be mechanically inclined. I however, am not, but there is an excellent daily driver at a body shop near my home I am quite interested in. It's a '59 Rambler Rebel with the 327 V-8. I don't know how much it costs as of yet, but it's a real...

    Resistol Fedora/Western Crossover on Ebay, 7 1/8, For Peanuts!

    I should be getting some money tomorrow so I might jump on it ASAP. I really like this hat and I've been wanting one just like this for a while now. I was wondering if I could just buy it from you straight away rather than waiting the auction period? If you'd rather not do that it's fine, I...

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    Last night, as it was my little brother's graduation from high school, I enjoyed a Macanudo Gold Label Hampton Court. It was a good smoke, and a fitting treat for celebrating my brother's success.
