    How about Magnoli's Adventure Boots and HJ Indy Hat?

    I've no experience of Indy Magnoli's goods, however I was quite excited to find that his company can not only supply an interesting alternative to the 'original' Alden boots worn by Harrison Ford in the Indiana Jones movies, but also a re-worked version of the current version of the Herbert...

    The OED defines and dates 'fedora'...

    I seem to remember a question being asked about how far back the fedora hat goes, historically. Well, the definition of fedora in the Oxford English Dictionary sheds some light on this, as it reveals dates when the word is mentioned and the sources. I thought Loungers might therefore be...

    Re-enacting Bert Hardy of the British Army Film & Photographic Unit

    Although I've never had the honour of serving in the British forces, my grandfather and father both served their country in its hour of need, the former in WWI and WWII, the latter in the Suez Crisis. The 2004 D-Day 60th anniversary commemorations and all the connected publicity set me to...
