I was a fan of the original Cabela's safari shirts. Especially as they were available in "tall" sizes.
I'm currently considering taking one of my remaining shirts to a local tailor, in which case I would request leaving off the right breast pocket and adding 'Swiss tabs'. And depending on my...
I've always been a fan of the .45, but its more because I like the platform than the caliber. I have never been able to fire a double action (revolver or automatic) with anything like accuracy, so give me a single action any day.
If all you were going to use a firearm for is home defense I...
Actually that's a pronghorn that they are admiring, so I would guess this photo is from Wyoming. Through my reading he mentions Stetsons quite often, so probably a Stetson, but I haven't seen a crown like that before
Perhaps the nuptials should have taken place in a restaurant, then the congregation could feel free to make calls on their cell phones as well. And yes, that is a pet peeve of mine.
As for Key West, its also interesting to remember that at the time it was a much more secluded location, more difficult to reach than it is today.
In "How it Was" by Mary Hemingway, she states that he continually "saw" FBI agents. Anyone in a suit was a fed. I am of the opinion that his fear...
To me it makes it more real if the description of the location matches the location, if I have been there. I have never been to New York City, or California. You could write an entire book taking place in NYC, and I wouldn't know if the location was true to the area or not, and quite frankly...
I have read that the difference between coupes and flutes is due to the changes in sweetness of champagnes over time too.
There are many theories on why one shape is favored over another historically.
Personally I don't care for flutes, I find a coupe to be more elegant. Plus I like to use...
I have heard stories of "hikers" in the early 20th century that would simply forgo taking any food with them. Especially during the depression the idea is that they were used to not eating regularly, and foodstuffs of the time were too heavy to carry unless the trip was to be for more than a...
How about the articles he wrote for the various magazines of the time? I have been able to read some through the various "Hemingway On" books. Does anyone know of a source for more of these?
I'd just like to say thank you Mr. Chevalier for the history lesson (and piquing my curiosity). Until now I had only know Zoot Suit Riot as the name of a song. I have so much to learn.
Police? Indecent exposure? Certainly fashion is in the eye of the beholder. I remember people complaining about Madonna wearing only her undies on stage.
Of course it makes it much harder to run away from the police when your pants are around your knees.
