New manufacture, vintage cut! Thanks for the link and the congrats! That's what I thought, but all the descriptions claim it is a Tux, not sure what to believe. Something like this would be great:

Hi Gentlemen, It's been a long time since I've browsed the forum - yet when I needed an answer to a very particular issue, this was the only place I thought of. As of January of this year, I've found myself engaged and in need of a Tuxedo or fine suit. This would not be an ordinary tuxedo...

Been smoking a Blend I picked up in Gettysburg called "General Buford" in unfiltered cigarette form recently. While antiquing I had found a vintage Efka Acima Cigarette Roller and have been experimenting with rolling my own with pipe blends. Found that by using un-dried tobacco I achieve a...

I know it is delicious! Nutritious on the other hand.... When I had my wisdom teeth pulled I was binging on soft foods due to excessive hunger and the meds gave me the munchies like no other. I took a Can of SPAM, two links of handmade locally (by my people - The Polish - so it's not the crap...

I never say Goodbye unless I know I'll never see the person again. Usually "See you Soon", "Talk to you later" or "Take Care"

I'm starting this up. Yesterday I Got on the scale and saw that number....nearly fainted. Only problem is I can never follow through with diets. Then it hit me, if I took a diet as serious as I do my WWII reenacting - I'd stick with it! So I got myself a "reenacted" diet :) So I did a bit of...

Went to Goodwill to buy a "Costume" for a 1920's Prohibition party. Got that instead. Actually the total was 35 bucks for Two pairs of modern slacks, a vintage matching grey vest and Jacket, White button up shirt, red checkered tie, two London fog Trench coats and an East German Enlisted man's...

Price Now at $50. Make me an offer that is reasonable. I want this bloody thing gone as it takes up space (and the money will go into my hat fund!)

I was recently given this, well what I call it, Short Trench. I tried looking on London fog's Website, tried looking on Ebay for examples....but have turned up nothing. If It fit me (I'm a size 46-48) I'd have kept it but alas :( It has the Polar Plush Liner and to be 100% honest I think the...

He's thinking of the German M42 Low Boots that ATF sells. And Yes...Hobnails are beyond worthless on slick surfaces. Just like The US Jumpboots - no traction on anything that isn't dry and composed of solid dirt or pavement.

*drools at that thought* Bookmarked. I will be ordering a custom Fedora, hands-down, from one of those two. Light Grey, with a Dark Graphite Ribbon (if they have it!). Tumwater's prices and product look too darn good to pass up. Not to mention with either company - the hats are made in the USA...

Thanks for the Response and welcome Alan. My problem with Period hats is my big ol' melon of a head. I wear a 7 3/4 and trying to find a vintage hat that I like in that size is almost impossible! I'm not a Homburg fan due to the rolled brim. I like the brim floppy and lone enough to drape over...

I'm fairly new to the game (Wool Fedoras only right now :( ) but If I wanted the Side Pinch, could I do that to say a Federation IV from Hats Direct? I'd want one like the Gentleman in the Middle Left of the Third Picture davidraphael posted. Do you think that is Possible? And if anyone...

Which is a shame because I like them like that :D

Graves Registration is not a bad impression at all! It one of those things that you don't see that often and is pretty interesting. Truck Drivers, Cooks (My favorite...Sh*t On a Shingle beats SPAM any darn day!), Graves Registration, Mechanics, Chaplins and War Corr's make events feel more like...
