    Gaulish Hair

    Hello ladies, I would like to know if any of you have witnessed someone who has rinsed their hair with limewater, in the fashion of the Celts? I've read about this but I've not been able to find any evidence of someone doing it today. According to Diodorus Siculus: The Gauls are tall of...

    Daybreakers - With Screencaps

    The Australian Film Finance Corporation is bringing us Daybreakers next year. Think Gattaca meets Blade, the movie stars Ethan Hawke in another retro future. I thought I'd take some screencaps from the trailer to share with you. I'm adding fullscreen bitmap copies to the album, but they're...

    Indentifying a Tunic

    Hello, I eyed a post elsewhere; a gentleman has purchased this tunic and wants to know more about it. I'm not familiar with the insignia and I'm looking for it. But I thought maybe asking the experts would be faster. Could you tell me where and when it's from, please?

    District 9 - Who's psyched?

    I've just watched the trailer(s) and I definitely am. Check them out. First look at the regular one, then watch the uncensored one. (it's just extra content, nothing profane) For maximum effect, do not read the blurbs or comments and watch them both in high def'.

    Fabric mill in Victoria?

    I seem to recall someone mentioning something here, but I've not been able to find it. I think they mentioned a fabric mill in Victoria where one can get vintage clothing. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

    Beltless Belted Jackets

    Gentleman, what do you do if you get a vintage piece that has loops for a belt; but has since lost it? I've seen some interesting items that look too aged to match them to a new one; but too good to throw away.

    Shane Acker's 9

    Have you guys seen the trailer for this yet? I'm not one to watch movies for the effects, but I think I would go see this for the animation alone. View it here: http://www.apple.com/trailers/focus_features/9/hd/

    Tomorrow's Vintage

    Belloq: "Look at this. It's worthless - ten dollars from a vendor in the street. But I take it, I bury it in the sand for a thousand years, it becomes priceless. Like the Ark." I'm sure many of us know this all too well as collectors of rare items which are almost brand new in comparison to...

    Shrinking Linen/Cotton

    I have this unlined jacket that's a linen/cotton blend that's around a size 40 and it doesn't fit me well. I'd be around a size 38. It says dry clean only. Is there any chance I could safely shrink this down via washing and drying? Or would it just be impossible to do right? I picked it...

    Haversack Ideas

    I bought a cheap cotton canvas haversack to carry my books. A backpack would look quite silly with my new coat. I didn't like the colour of the thing, a slightly fluoro-looking yellow, so I gave it a tea-dyeing and I believe it has come out quite well. I was considering perhaps...

    Dyeing a Coat

    I've got this big old wool coat. But I don't particularly like the colour. Have any of you experience in dyeing something like this? It has been noted that old military coats are a way of getting a good quality one for cheap; but from what I've seen many of them would be difficult to pull...

    Coat Hammer Space

    I'm a student who often buys little things at the supermarket daily. I'm quite tired of presenting my bag for inspection each day, when I just want a couple of things each time. I was thinking perhaps I could get a long coat and modify it to carry a lot the things I require each day...
