My thoughts exactly who in the hell would part from a good jacket that fits and was built to last??? I only have a steerhide repro A-2 that is getting 20 years old and is still beautiful, the leather is nice while the lining is already falling apart. Authentic look of a...
Yeah it mustn't be always caviar, with those armatic perfumey US red cedar shoetree systems http://www.torquato.net/mall/1/pic/it626900196.jpg of stretching to the sides and back and forth or the handmade shoetrees that are done for the specfic last...
Dear Gentlemen, what about CARE for those GREAT shoes. Beeswax leather balsam. For the soles too. Especially the front part where all the secondhand shoes display that ghastly greyzone. To where either you order the rubber anti-slipping unit or properly take care of the leather. Which screams...
Shortened shelf life

If you see the US veteran taxicabs of Havana that are still repaired and run since 1956 or our Russian metro that goes since the 1970s in Budapest or the Polish trams that are around since...
The earth will have 8 billion by 2020 and 9 billion by 2050. The classic model of capitalism is designed for growth and expansion. Just like the USA grew in the 19th and 20th. From some 5 million in 1776 to 300+ million nowadays.
From emptiness till a fully
occupied world (see this constant...
II think Germans and the Japanese as well did all they could do in WW2. And the Allies too. All nations. The extent of their max. expansion in 1942 and in 1941 respectively shows to what exactly their forces and ultimate sacrifice were sufficient. And how many years and counter efforts were...

Hitler sent Rudolf Hess to Britain in 1941 prior to Barbarossa.. who failed in establishing contact....after Dunquerque, the Battle of Britain, Benghazi, the U-Boot war vs. convoys.... any pre-war sympathies or tactics of appeasement were gone. Hitler's regime declared Hess officially insane and...
This is not peace. It is an armistice for 20 years

Was the only man among decisionmakers who did speak out about what was really done in Versailles.
You dont treat nations that way.

Berets on a man are ridiculous?
Pls. do tell this all the elite military units worldwide, the inventing Basques nation, the artists, the men of intellect etc. etc.
Berets rule.
The article doesn't.
Art, congratulations on your new series.
You have blocked for me back in 2009 one 'Alarcon' woven Montecristi hat body from Panamabob,
which is done in the "Po Bob" style as shown on this Cover photo, it seems you had this "blues" in your soul for quite a while. I finally could lay my...
