great idea Indy! I'm totally on-board with this. Our Pipe band just got new ties to go with the waistcoats and they did a colour logo offset at the bottom along with the jaquard and they only cost us $50 USD. (qty 100) and you'll have to forgive me, but i'm married to an intellectual...

http://www.opmtradingpost.com They're top-drawer folks, do exceptional work and do it right the first time. They've worked on my father's Burlington Bulldog and i now won't trust it to anyone else.

So, are you thinking about somethign that is more or less the Cartier Tank (but not a chinese counterfeit!) or somethign that is simply a "Tank" style? for the latter, there are hundereds of them, lots of true vintage tanks on the 'bay as well. a good solid vintage movement is far better...

personally, i'd never wear a short-sleeved dress shirt by CHOICE. OUr pipe band (www.elliottbaypipeband.com) wears short-sleeved dress shirts and it drive me up the wall. Buttoned sleeves, tie....you'll not go wrong. The rest of the staff might think you're an elitist.....but what's wrong...

i'd have to go with C. I have that strap in both brown and black, in two sizes. It's a classic and very period correct. If you can find one that uses tubes thru the holes, assuming you're using screws or spring bars, not soldered lugs, which requures a sewn-in or riveted strap.

they are all gone now..... Thanks to all the members and family who are serving. It is still appreciated by some, if not most of your fellow Americans.

two-star and one of the one-stars are taken... I have one, one-star left.

:::sigh::: please feel free to remove ANY political commentary from this thread. I'd have thought that a thoughtful mature person would be able to seperate inflamatory political thoughts from a simple offer of appreciation. Apparently, i was wrong.

Hi folks, I stumbles across some "Military family deployed overseas" hat pins today at a loal antique store. (you know, the rectangular flag with the red star in the center and blue border...) They're about 6mm long by 4mm high, very small and discrete. perfect for hats ot lapels. they...

Bernie's is at on Union, between 3rd and 4th ave. (downtown). It does NOT say Bernie Utz on the front, is says STETSON and BORSOLINO above the door. (It's on the north side of Union) Now, about the shop. Don't make the assumption that the Kids working in there don't know anything since...

. Nope, we need to see the shoes as well. Trouser break, shoe choice.... I must agree, the shirt is distracting. Solid colour, maybe a herringbone at the most. i HATE big-knotted ties, but learn all the different knots and use the one that fits your body-type the best. You're a slim...

OFF_TOPIC ALERT!!! Ah, i see......you're refering to the company that took a chance on a young career-changing ex-cop and allowed him to have a fulfilling career while providing the public at-large the abillity to do great things on that silly little device they call the PC. While i...

Sorry, what is M$?????

Ah, Filson. I can see their shops from my office window. They do, indeed, make exceptional products, however i'm not a fan of their wax-cloth coats. they just fit....."funny" on me. Maybe they're cut for tiny girly-sized men.lol i've got a couple of their wax-cloth bags from years...

I've no experience with those brands, but i haev a couple waxed-cloth items from the Edinbugh Woolen Mill. The have no website, but they do have an outlet store in Gretna Green, in southern Scotland. they are top-drawer stuff, and not too obscenly expensive. (They have vests too) Just...
