    Trouser break on shoes

    I was just looking at the Trench Coat thread, and I see it is closed. But if you look at the one picture of Gregory Peck in the Trench Coat, look at the break in his Trousers over his shoes. Couldn't be more perfect...

    7th Cavalry A Company Hat/Lapel Device

    I purchased this device a few years ago at a St. Louis Gun Shop. I was wondering if there is anyone here that might advise if it is "ORIGINAL" Military Issue and the time frame. Based on what I find, there are NO Reproductions, that have the screw back and pins on the ends/drags of the swords...

    Buttoning the vest

    Back to the old debate. Should I button the bottom button of my vest. I recall going to the haberdashers back in the '70's buying a few suits. One had a straight lined 5 button vest and the shop owner told me, "always button the bottom button of a 5 button vest". The other suit had a six...

    Gurkha Shorts

    I have been wanting some new shorts for summer, and I don't find anything that doesn't just scream I am a sheeple. So, I was looking for Gurkha shorts and found them at WPG. As always lots of conversation over size, I ordered one size up as that's what most of the commenters recommended...

    1998 Franciscan Oakville Estates Cabernet

    Last night I was a little bored and wanted a glass of red wine (I haven't drank much in the last 10 years because of my rosacia), so I went down to the wine cellar and pulled this bottle of 1998 Franciscan Oakville Estates Cabernet... I wasn't sure what to expect. So I opened it, the cork was...

    Sunday Go to Meetin' Clothes

    In looking up old family photos while at Dad's for Deer Season I came across this one. Taken December 1940, My Dad, in the grey tweed suit with vest and a fedora in his hand seems all decked out for the day. All of 10 years old. My Granddad in a typical Blue Pinstripe suit (with Double...

    Haggis

    Thoughts? I've had Haggis a few times, the first time, I believe it was "TOO DONE". Just seemed to taste a little burned. My friend loved it. Had it again, seemed "JUST RIGHT", not as done, I loved it, my friend thought it wasn't done enough? Anyway, always enjoy it on Burns Night with...

    Argyle Socks

    Well, I was at a convention last week. Wore my usual Khakis, button down oxford, and saddle oxfords. While sitting in a meeting with my leg crossed across my knee, an inordinant number of people that walked by commented on my argyle (khaki, with blue and white squares) socks. Saying something...

    OshKosh Men's Waist Overalls

    You know, I loved their Waist Overalls, and they quit making them. They were cut a little trimmer than most of the other companies, and looked a little better. Pennys also made a pretty good waist overall also. Many are just cut so darned full ... Anyway, I find a pair on one of the auction...
