    Yet Another Highwayman Advice Request

    I hope you don't tire of these! They seem to pop up monthly, and now it's my turn. I'm going to order a new Highwayman in the next month or two, and after doing my prep work (reading every FL thread with "highwayman" in the title), here's what I'm looking at asking Amanda for: - General...

    Trooper Hendrix He's just being nice to Hussars. He was actually a paratrooper (supply specialist) in the 101st Airborne Division!

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot review

    Neat Red Wings I have a pair of these (Red Wing 4451) that I'm currently breaking in: http://www.redwingshoes.com/productdetails.aspx?prodid=1420 When I leave off the fringe-y thing at the base of the laces, the boot looks very similar to the knee-high brown boots some US officers wore in...

    magnoli u-boat/Dr Who Jacket

    Sounds Good I'm in the middle of a move anyway, so I have time to wait for a PM. When I unpack the box with that jacket in it, I'll set it aside. Appreciate the board's patience with our side conversation!

    Maybe You Can Buy Mine Mustang: Apologies for posting publically, but you are too new for the system to allow you to receive PMs yet. Do you wear a coat in the neighborhood of a 43R? If so, I can sell you my old Bad Wolf. I got bigger through the chest and bought a larger one. I was...

    Recreation with a Weak Partner

    Carpe Diem! Fletch: You would be neat to know. Of course the past is dead, can't and shouldn't bring it back. FL's "retro" folks (myself included) aren't from the 19X0s (pick your decade), we're modern men and women enjoying aspects of the past in a necessary 21st century context. Born...

    Wested - hard work?

    Great Coat! With the bump, I want to echo the other comments about Wested. I bought one of their Das Boot jackets last winter, and their customer service and shipping speed was just excellent. I ultimately ended up going with a different maker's Das Boot style jacket for myself, but my...

    Bailey bridge spotted, forgot I had these photos…

    Still Around They trained us on building them when I was an Army Engineer private in the mid-1980s. There was even a specialty for them--12C, Engineer Bridge Crewman. So, they aren't THAT old. Trog

    Khakis - which ones?

    Watch Pocket? KS Church: Do your trousers have a watch pocket? Many makers put one at the base of the beltline, on the right side. Curious, because I sometimes wear a pocket watch. Best, Trog

    magnoli u-boat/Dr Who Jacket

    Bad Wolf and Wested Are Different Bad Wolf and Wested are ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY not the same jacket. I originally purchased a black Bad Wolf and a brown distressed Wested. The Wested is a quality jacket, but the Bad Wolf was just so much better that I had to get their brown. Better leather...

    Bad Wolf Jacket If you're looking for excrutiating Doctor Who detailing, you might consider this site: www.thebadwolf.com I have two of these jackets, and I am thrilled with them. Pricey, but they'll outlast me. Sturdy, stylish, understated. Really a quality product. That said...

    The World's Oldest Champagne

    Odd Palate Well, in keeping with my screen name, I prefer Cook's Extra Dry, which runs about $5 a bottle, placing it firmly in the same category with J. Roget and Andre (neither of which I can stomach). Not technically champagne, but an American sparkling wine. I compared it to a bottle of...

    Watch Chains

    Show me? Harp: Could you post a photo or two? I'm clear how the vest would look, but interested to see the others in practice. If not, I'm sure I can work something out with what you and Feraud have told me already. Amazing how easy it is to get great expert opinions in the digital age...

    Watch Chains

    Thanks! Thanks, Feraud! I'm still too new to post photos, but the watch is nothing special. An old Waltham, easily found on eBay for $30 or less. But it's been in the family for four generations, so it's got sentimental value to me. What do you think about fobs/keys on watch chain worn...

    Watch Chains

    Wearing Pocket Watch With Academic Keys Lurking around here and reading the threads, I've ended up digging out my father's old pocket watch, and I'm going to start wearing it after I get a chain and some leather straps. You are, collectively, a bad influence. I had heard that some people...
