    Wehrmacht Collection

    Just wanted to say, thanks for posting those pics. That is quite a nice collection and display. I really enjoyed viewing those. I have been collecting for about ten years myself, mostly for reenacting, and mostly with repros, but have no room for display in a small house crowded with...

    "The Pacific" - can it possibly live up to expectations?

    'Band of Brothers' was so good, that I am not expecting 'The Pacific' to be near as good. So probably, my lowered expectations will be surpassed, and I'll end up liking it a lot. In any case, I've been looking forward to seeing it for over a year or more since I first heard of it.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Don't feel bad. An old girlfriend did the same thing to me. I was really surprised to find myself become a big fan of the show. 'Firefly' was pretty good too...

    “Ain’t We Got Style?" - A Vanity Fair Photoshoot

    Thanks! I totally missed that! So, these fashions are still being made much like in the classic style days. Available and being sold. I think that means that we are very much seeing these lines and sillouettes still serving to inspire designers today. That makes me happy. :)

    “Ain’t We Got Style?" - A Vanity Fair Photoshoot

    Exactly! Inspiration, homage, or whatever you want to call it is not a bad thing. It has been going on in a big way from time to time, one way or another since at least the Italian Renaissance, and more likely since the beginning of time. I suppose you could argue about how well any...

    “Ain’t We Got Style?" - A Vanity Fair Photoshoot

    I love these shots. Like a lot of us, I wish they would credit the clothing. Whenever I see a good-looking modern vintage-style man's suit, I think "Ralph Lauren", but the women's clothing? I have no idea. Anyone care to guess where the 'Claudette Colbert' outfit comes from? As far as...

    Vintage WW2 Mustaches

    Great photo! By the way, you know who else had a "good 40's style mustache"... ;)

    Your occupation and how you dress

    Do you have any photos of your office posted in one of these threads? I'd love to see that. Myself, I work as a manager of an accounting department for a big distribution company. Our dress code is "business casual", and like most California corporate offices the emphasis is on "casual". I...

    Graham Greene Films

    Hmmm... I am interested in hearing Baron Kurtz' input on this thread... ;)

    Graham Greene Films

    Greene and Greene 'The Third Man' is about my favorite film of all time anyway, so I guess it's my favorite Greene film. I've read most of his novels, and really like him as a writer. So outside of that one, I think I end up a little disappointed by most of the adaptations I have seen. I was...

    The Lure of Opulent Desolation

    The Point I just read and really enjoyed this article. I am firmly in the Baron's camp on this, and I think that a lot of posters misread the peice. She is not really writing about "the fifties" (i.e. 1946 through 1966) at all. She's really writing about the "Baby-busters" (or what I still...

    Smoking Back in the Day

    Back in the day... Because I am a smoker, I do miss those days when smoking just wasn't a big deal. The two things I miss most are being able to light a cigarette in a restaurant without having to leave the table after finishing a meal, and especially being able to enjoy a cigarette and a...

    Royal Crown Pomade

    Me too... Yes, I concur with the other posts on this thread. It's cheap, it's "old-school", and it works great. I also use it daily, being a big fan of the "wet-thinning-hair" look-- so the fact that it only washes out with great difficulty is not a problem for me, but if you only want to...

    Uniforms in casual wear

    I never thought about this much before, and I think I may mix more military items into my vintage look. A-2's are so ubiquitous, I don't always even think if them as military wear. I inherited an old one from my older brother, that I think is something like 1950s vintage, and I wear it all the...

    Favorite Military Quotes

    I wish I remembered his name, but some British spy upon being captured by the Germans during WW2 simply said, "Oh damn, and it was such a lovely day..." But really, who can resist Genghis Khan's "...To crush your enemies, to see them fall at your feet -- to take their horses and goods and...
