    WWII Roughout Boots, Size 10, Anyone????

I swapped the original russet laces for matching tan ones to make them into desert boots. Very little wear on sole. Asking $50 plus...

    History Lost

    I was perusing Facebook earlier today, when a friend's photos caught my attention. There before me was a beautiful set of "Waterfall" bedroom furniture, a classic design of the Golden Era. Just last year, I acquired my own Waterfall bedroom suite (in near perfect condition) after a very lengthy...

    Surgery Sale on Men's Shoes!

    Yep, I was careless and ended up breaking a bone in my foot. :eusa_doh: The irony is that, even though surgery fixed the problem, it created a new one. Seems that none of my footwear fits me anymore! So I've had to purchase all new shoes & boots, and now have to auction off my old ones for...

    Any Leaf-Peepers Out There?

    Well, autumn is upon us - crisp air, apple cider, flannel shirts, and brilliant foliage. I managed to schedule some travel back home to Virginia just in time to catch the fall colors at their peak. I'm definitely planning an outing to Shenandoah National Park sometime in the next several days to...

    The Churchill Grand Central

    I was just browsing through the online store of Henry The Hatter and found this rather nice looking hat - fur felt, underwelt brim, and choice of three different colors. A long search through Fedora Lounge posts only turned up information on vintage Churchill hats, but nothing on these...

    Retro Fans at Target

    I just stopped by my local Target superstore the other day and happened to notice these great classic-styled desk fans sitting on the shelf. They come in different finishes (I liked the oil-rubbed bronze the best). The Target website shows they are out of stock, but the stores carry them.

    Okay, many of us own vintage or reproduction-vintage footwear. In searching through the various posts, there is often mention of adding cushion insoles to make the shoes/boots more comfortable. That got me thinking... What insoles were used in vintage footwear a half-century ago to make them...

Anyone who has been to the West Indies has probably observed some of the traditional dress attire of a gentleman - "Bermuda" shorts, along with coat & tie...
