Need a leather MC jacket religned
Forgive me for asking a question that's been asked a thousand times here before, but my quick and dirty search didn't turn up what I needed. I have a co-worker with a 20 + year old Harley-Davidson jacket that is very nice - cord caller, zip-off sleeves, nice heavy leather that's been aged...- Ugarte

Wested Tomorrow Never Dies jacket
Hi ho there. Been gone a while popped in because I have some Xmas money and a perceived need for a black jacket. I'm looking at this: http://www.wested.com/tomorrow-never-dies-007-bond-24-p.asp It isn't lambskin, but I don't know what the quality of the leather might be like. If...- Ugarte

Wristwatch dilemma - pic heavy, sorry.
This is not a question about vintage items. I have committed to attending the annual pops concert/dinner at my local university (and alma mater). I will be wearing a single-breasted olive suit, black shoes, white shirt and silver tie with a black pattern (school colors are green and silver, go...- Ugarte

Please forgive the movie trivia question
A coworker and I are pondering whether the military uniforms seen in the very brief battlefield sequence of the move Tommy (from the album of the same name by The Who) are in fact WWI or WWII period. I know it's obscure and possibly off topic here, but can anyone shed some light on this... -
Old leather
I've been busy and haven't provided The Lounge with the attention it deserves, so this may not be the right place to post this. If not a bartender should feel free to relocate it. But here's the tale: Once upon a time, a 13-year-old boy could take a test, pay a fee and secure a license to ride...- Ugarte

Bread, the staff of life...
And essential to any sandwich. I don't think I've had fresh-baked bread since my mother went on a baking binge when I was a kid. A couple of days ago, I decided I would try it. Results are mixed but generally favorable. Even my humble effort is better than store-bought stuff. Here's an...- Ugarte

How hard can it possibly be?
A few years ago I bought three suits, a couple of three-buttons and a two-button. I bought them at Penny's and they're actually fairly nice suits, but the jackets fit like I bought them off the rack. That is to say, they fit badly. I guess I'm a funny shape. If I am to believe that... -
Who's in this picture?
I recently stumbled onto a fellow with an interesting trove of pictures taken/collected by his family in Germany during WWII and I've been cleaning them up and trying to find out the who-what-when-where about them. One of the images is a postcard seen in the thumbnail below (click to enlarge)... -
American Legion Posters
I kind of come and go here because of my schedule so forgive me if this is a dupe, but I ran across this in some research and since I hadn't seen it in any of these threads, I thought I'd post a link here. http://www.legion.org/whatsnew/posters?row=0 There are a bunch of them. Enjoy. Mark -
College life 1914 - 1985
Stumbled onto this link about the Psi Chapter of Theta Chi Fraternity of the University of Wisconsin, Madison. I was never a frat guy, but I found it a hoot. You might as well. Not strictly Golden Era as there are some post WWII pics in it, but nevertheless, how 'bout them raccoon coats...- Ugarte

Any Science Fiction Fans?
I ask because Friday I attended an annual event we have here. The Williamson Lectureship is a well established event to honor Professor Emeritus Jack Williamson. Sadly, this year was the second posthumous such event. Jack would have celebrated his 100th birthday this year. At any rate, I...- Ugarte

Looking for a small fedora
My 11-y.o. son has landed a spot on his school's "newspaper". He has a dressy kind of event to cover next Friday (2/29/08) as a reporter and somewhere he picked up the idea that he would like to wear a fedora with a "Press Pass" tucked into the band. I need an inexpensive fedora in a 6 5/8"... -
How do I clean a cotton tie?
I just got a small collection of vintage bow ties. They are a mixture of silk and cotton. One of the cotton ties is nice, but it is a little soiled. Look slike just your basic dirt from being tied by hands that were not entirely clean. I've done some Googling, but haven't found anything...- Ugarte

My First A-2®
Some of you may recall that I picked up a Highwayman a few weeks ago. It nearly broke my arm when I picked it up . . . because it's really heavy. (rim shot) I was interested in a lighter jacket and someone suggested an A-2. I looked into it and liked that style of the A-2, but not so much the...- Ugarte

Suggest a leather jacket please
I love my Aero Highwayman. I really do. My only reservation has to do with the fact that I live in a part of the world that is typically sunny and not all that cold. The Highwayman is a HEAVY jacket. I was kicking around the local college campus yesterday on a clear, sunny, 48¬? - 50¬? F...- Ugarte

Heavy Highwayman, really HEAVY.
I've only owned a few leather jackets in my day. I started with a G-1 knockoff from Sears when I was in high school. I gave it up for a ski jacket that was lighter and warmer. In college I bought a used black MC jacket by Gino Leathers from a guy. I've still got it, but naturally it's too...- Ugarte

Please help date this item
I just got this via an auction. It is no big thing, but there's a label with lots of info in this briefcase and I'd like to know more about it if I could. It was sold as "vintage," but of course that means nothing. Nevertheless, it has a kind of vintagy look to it. Here are the pics...- Ugarte

New Champ!
I won the Champ from a fellow in New Jersey on Saturday. I paid for it immediately and he said that he would get it into the mail on Monday. Monday, I found it in my mailbox. That's service! I really like this hat. It's got more mothing than was described, but none of it is...
