    can anyone help finding a table like my grandmother used to have?

    Well, from what I've seen of smoking tables, it doesn't really match. Smoking tables seem to be smaller. The table I am talking about is about 3' by 3'

    can anyone help finding a table like my grandmother used to have?

    Ok, so my grandmother had this coffee table since before my father was born (in 1964) It was a yellow wooden table, very mid-century modern looking. My dad estimates that it was from the 1940s-50s. It was made in switzerland, and had a raised edge that went around the outside. Also it was...

    Pretty interesting video

    I have to admit, when I was young I had to help butcher a cow. I was a little emotional at first, but it was a tasty cow! I've never butchered a rabbit, but I've ate one, it was delicious. Little tough though... tasted like and had a similar consistency as chicken (sorry, cliche!) except...

    Who gives hats a bad name?

    To quote a girl I saw at the mall the other day, talking to a guy who works there: Is there anything left to say?

    Well, his blog site hasn't had an update for over a month, but I wouldn't call that too long. I would try calling him at the number supplied on the site. I've not dealt with him personally though.

    Post New Hats Here!

    Thanks guys, the Borsalino is a very comfortable hat, much lighter weight than the other two. however, the Black one is my daily wear, as I'm not as afraid to wear it (It's not 50+ years old!) and it isn't as apt to get pulled from my head my the wind...but yes, the borsalino is by far the...

    Post New Hats Here!

    2 new hats and one I've had all my life. First an old borsalino: It needs a little bit of work, but I think it will be a fine hat. Next up, a new hat I purchased from a jewish hat shop. I'm not sure of the company that makes it, but it was made by the czech republic. It needed to be...

    Single Button, DB suit with no lapel button hole?

    I'm new to this, but I believe that it could be a ladies suit. I wouldn't be able to tell with certainty without seeing it in person or seeing it on a person though...

    How deep is your style?

    Mine isn't too deep as well. I'm pretty new to this, I like the style, but at work I generally do not look old school. I have started wearing flannel and non flannel plaid shirts lately, but The warehouse isn't gentle on clothes, so I spend as little as possible... On the other hand, I use...

    Cleaning the wool lining of a bomber jacket?

    I don't know if this is the right section, but Ya, I have a leather bomber jacket that I purchased a while back, and the wool around the neck (It's white wool) is showing a little dirt. Can I just scrub this out? Or should I take it to a cleaners?

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    I have found that a very well made Mojito is very good. (Well made meaning they don't skimp out on the rum, alot of them around here taste watered down...)

    determining a suit's age

    I'm new to this, but I realize there has to be a better way to judge if a suit is truly from the golden age than guessing. Is there something you look for when searching for a vintage suit?
