    So what's in a correct shaving kit

    Excuse the shameless plug but I sell straight razor shaving supplies on eBay. http://cgi3.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=heirphoto All of the strops are hand made in my shop. The razors in my kits are German made. And I include the classics, Burma Shave brushes and Williams...

    Barbour, Filson jackets

    Guit, FS has an adventurers jacket which is an Indy'ish version of an A2. Nice jacket and a variety of leathers. If you are shopping for a Barbour try Atlantic British, a LandRover parts supplier in New York. They are on the web and have far more than shown on their website,. Claudette will...

    Barbour, Filson jackets

    Just got a copy of Barbours winter catalog and founf 2 interesting "new" jackets listed. One is the Beaufort and the other is their Vintage Original Coat from the turn of the century. Both come with a vintage finished medium waxed cotton and an aged looking tartan plaid inside. Nice touch for...

    B3 Jacket issues

    I have one of the cheaper B3 jackets, a US Wings and it too shows a touch of flaking. I hve akways liked th vintage look so wear is just fine with me. While not an Aero or Lost World it is still a decent looking jacket, not quite as authentic but a bargain at this last years pre-Xmas sale. My...

    Other Forums??

    Thanks. The cafe looks pretty good. I frequent a few other groups myself with a thin connection to topics covered here. The Yahoo Straight Razor group and Tyler Lane's pipe Making Forum. Hmm, maybe there is a good Cigar enthusiasts group around too. Tony

    Other Forums??

    I really enjoy the people and topic both here and at COW. Are there other similar groups dealing with either adventure or the Golden Age? Thanks, Tony

    The Story of the Waxed Jacket

    Old Hat, Thanks for the Filson info. I looked into them as well way back when I bought my first Barbour. I like the British stuff so stayed with barbour but the Filson looked pretty good. I think I remember their ad or logo saying "might as well buy the best". Sounds like they can back it up...

    New Owner of a Cheap Hat, fit issue

    KD, thanks foryour thoughts. I have nothing against good hats and for one I would wear regularly I would pay a mint! The fedora is a once in a while thing for me. A nice Irish tweed cap or even a flapped Deerstalker in just the right pattern would have me digging deep in my pockets. For those...

    New Owner of a Cheap Hat, fit issue

    James, BD, Thanks for the tips. I do have very thin cork here used for gaskets. This is the real cork (harder to find) not synthetic and I can try that. As for the leather behind the leather sweatband, well, I could only wish the sweatband was leather (grin). It looks to be "leather look"...

    New Owner of a Cheap Hat, fit issue

    Really, really feeling glad I didn't post this to COW ! I put a thin band of leather between the sweatband and hat and it fits much better, I will play with it fior a while and if the hat thing grows on me I guess I will get a good one. Works well enough for me, just wanted a cheap fedora...

    The Story of the Waxed Jacket

    I have owned both Sylkoil and Thornproof. In addition to the differnt type fabics there are different weights, featherweight, lightweight and heavyweight. Some jackets with different names are actually identical designs but with different fabrics. My old Border was a lightweight thornproof while...

    New Owner of a Cheap Hat, fit issue

    Okay, I am not much of a hat guy and wanted a cheap Indy style fedora for very occasional use. I did it against bettr advice, I got an eBay Indy for $33. Not a bad looking hat really from the outside (other than the Indy pin), inside is pretty basic, no lining, basic sweatband, nice shade of...

    Out of the Humidor: Weekly Cigar Corner: Current Discussion: General Smoking 01/26/07

    Bogie, Looking forward to yuor nest "issue" even though I don't smoke! I enjoy the reviews of anything that deals with "men's finery", cigars, pipes, clothing, grooming, etc...... It's fun adding things to my collection dealing with these Golden Age habits, whether newly rediscovered or...

    The Story of the Waxed Jacket

    Pyro, Barbour makes excellent jackets. I have owned a Border years ago and currently own a Durham and a Northumbria. The Durham is the lightweight fabric and the Northumbria the heaviest. My 20 year old Border was as good as new but simply too small. It still brought an easy $60 well used on...

    Throw away A-2

    Sharptoys, What do you think about the jacket now that you have tried it out? I am looking for a "beater" jacket at a cheap price. I have several top end leathers but an everyday knock around piece woulfd be great. Tony

    They need to fact check

    Dejinetly getting my fix here and at OBi Wan. Probably stop by 3 or 4 times a day to check new posts. It's no just Indy stuff that interestes me. Like most here there is a certian refined charm with the '30s and '40s that just does not turn up in society today. traditions in dress, manner and...

    They need to fact check

    I guess it's all in how you look at "exact". Harrison Ford wore a brown felt Fedora in the movies. They are offering just that a brown felt Fedora.....end of story ! We of course know better. For many I guess that is all they see too, a brown felt Fedora. I only found this group a few weeks...

    Shaving

    Android, Yep, the straight razor thing really beats even a Mach 3. I have been on vacation the past few days and have more time for a long shave each morning so have been using mainly the straight razor. My face feels smoother and that clean shaven feel lasts much longer too. Been 14 hours...
