    vintage toys

    I'm a huge Lionel Train nut myself. Mainly O Gauge, but I was just out in York PA for the semi-annual train show/sale, and it's the largest in the country. Anyway, I picked up Lionel's 1990 reproduction of the 1930's era Lionel Blue Comet in Standard Gauge. The engine's a monster, about 18...

    French Cuffs

    Ah.... light dawns on MN Jones. Thanks! I thought that's what they may have looked like. Interesting.

    If I had to pick one girl from the golden era

    Mine is a different era, but also listed here already. Always has been, and will ever be, Audrey Hepburn. A true class act inside and out. I fell totally for her the first glimpse I had of Breakfast at Tiffany's - I was flipping channels and saw her in the scene of her on the windowsill, in...

    French Cuffs

    Quick question. I purchased a shirt for the QM with French Cuffs for Saturday night. Now, I have cufflinks, but the cuff is very long and has two button holds, one in line with the other. I take it the cuff is folded back so they line up and the cufflink goes through both? I'm 99% sure...

    I'd have to say Bogart with Jimmy Stewart a close second....

    Reaping What You Sow

    This is an extremely interesting topic on the whole Porn issue and whether or not to feel pity, and what can I do? Very good points raised by everybody. Do I feel pity for them? Yes. I'm sorry they chose that lifestyle and got in over their head. Are they totally at fault? Some of them...

    The rise and fall of manly headwear

    I totally agree with all said. Very good points. As much as people here may dislike some caps, being ballcaps. There is a difference in a nice cap (like a Khaki aviator's cap I'll wear occationally) and a Trucker's cap (with the nylon netting on the back and the "scrambled eggs" on the brim)...

    Dick Tracy!

    I've got a book at home on the making of the movie Dick Tracy with Warren Beatty. The fedoras in the movie (Not just the yellow one...) were all...... Stetsons. Ugh! Sad but true. The yellow trench was Burberry's if I recall correctly.

    Ordering a Bogie Style from Optimo...

    I think Rundquist's Bogie Style was a Phantom Blue in color.... I've just ordered a Skyline Blue in the Middle Weight Felt, with a 19 Line Ribbon in Blue Metal with the Bogie Teardrop styling and 2 1/8 brim. I'll be picking it up on June 1st when we go thru Chicago on the Roadtrip! Now the...

    Ordering a Bogie Style from Optimo...

    I've got a call into Optimo for a new fedora I'd like to pick-up on our roadtrip out east. Thinking a Bogart Lid akin to Casablanca. EDIT: I took the plunge, and Kevin got me all hooked up! See below...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Beautiful lid there friend! No wonder they can't make many of these, the guy weaving it probably goes blind when he's done! That's a hellava tight weave, dang! Wear it with pride!

    The APEX of Art Deco - The 1939 Hiawatha

    We hit the Sacramento Museum last summer on our "roadtrip to the QM" on our way home. I've been to other railroad musuems with more equipment, but none are as well thought out and well displayed. Plus the equipment there was all pristine in condition. I was in awe that day. Needless to say...

    The APEX of Art Deco - The 1939 Hiawatha

    Hello! Yup, I'm an O-Gauge 3 Rail Operator (Lionel, K-Line, etc). O-Gauge has grown in leaps and bounds in the past 10 years and now with digital technology and trains sound as impressive as the real thing. Plus when you have a Union Pacific Big Boy that's 18 pounds and 33 inches long, you fall...

    Operator, get me Pennsylvania 65000...

    I've got a modern repro of one of those "Candlestick" phones. It's nice. Also have some great repro/mod stuff from The Spirit of St Louis Collection. Just pop that into eBay and you'll see retro Aero styles of phones - "boomboxes" - clocks, etc. I have their boombox and a Aero style clock...

    New Jacket

    I love my A-2 Historical in Russet Horsehide. They made wonderful jackets, period. If I recall, Rundquist had an Indy "Expo" made in the Russet, didn't he?
