    Fountain Pens: Who uses them, and why?

    I, too, have used fountain pens most of my life. Over the last several years, however, the vintage ones I have are simply for display and I use regularly the Namiki/Pilot Vanishing Point. All the the convenience of a ball point with the feel of a real fountain pen. I have several and they are...

    Stetson 100 to Optimo

    I'm eagerly awaiting the outcome of your problems with Optimo. I, too, based on what I have read here sent my gray Royal Stetson St. Regis Homburg for a good cleaning and to replace a badly faded edge ribbon with a new black one to match the main ribbon. It just went last week. Frankly, I never...

    Prince Charles' Style: Like or Dis-Like?

    For what it is worth, I'm not a Charles fan, but have always found him to be well dressed. I'm curious as to what people who disagree think he "ought" to be wearing. Based upon his position, he isn't going to be at the cutting edge of sartorial splendor but, frankly, who is?

I grew up when the rules for gentlemanly behavior were changing. When some women expected doors to be opened for them as a...

    L. Strauss was one of the favorite stories in Indianapolis as I was growing up. I remember they had a great selection of hats well into the mid 70s. They now, like so many other great places are now simply history.

    11th Hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month

    To my father, Paul W. Lucas. The first photo is a newspaper clipping of him with his two brothers, all U.S. Marines actively serving in the Pacific. The Second photo is his boot camp graduation photo, he is the left front row end. He's been gone now almost 10 years and I still miss him everyday.
