    French Cuffs

    Like these ... The string between the knots is stretchy and lets you pull the knots through both sides of the cuff. Personally, I can never seem to get the hang of them and end up throwing away the ones that come with my shirts. I find cufflinks much easier ...

    Saddle Oxfords

    Nordstrom Saddle Oxfords I have a pair of those Nordstom Saddle Oxfords discussed above. Not bad for comfort, and a good price (about $70), but they're cut kind of narrow (I purposely went up half a size and they are still kind of tight).

    found some authentic Khaki trousers at MEN's EXPRESS

    Maybe at Nautica too ... I've never seen a pair of WWII khakis first hand, but based on pictures and everyones' descriptions here on the forum, I think I may have found some near-fascimiles at my local Nautica outlet. They're called CLIPPER khakis and the plain front model has the full cut...

    Converting old typewriters into computers

    I've been looking for stuff to decorate my soon to be completed study and thought it might be cool to get a computer that looks more like an old typewriter. If anyone remembers the 80s show "Max Headroom," all the computers used retro 30/40's style keyboards. Anyway, while it doesn't look like...

    WWII Army Officers Dress Shoes

    When I was in (about 3 years ago now), the general rule (regardless of uniform) was that you wore black socks with the black shoes and khaki socks with the brown shoes. I would occasionally see someone wearing khaki socks with the black shoes, but I don't think that was authorized.

    BROOKS BROTHERS

    Brooks Brothers custom shirts via Catalog I'm a regular Brooks Brothers shopper, and after a visit last Christmas agree that the one on Madison Ave. is their best. Well, at least it is if, like me, you have to wear modern business attire on a regular basis. You diehard vintage wearers...

    Last Man Standing hat?

    Thanks so much! Guys, thanks for all the input. I think a custom from Adventurebilt is probably the easiest way to go here if I want something I'll really be happy with. Besides, I've been debating getting an Indy hat too, so this way I can kill two birds with one stone. Paddy, that is a...

    Last Man Standing hat?

    I know almost nothing about fedoras ... Quite the shocker considering the name of the site, but I originally came for the WWII stuff and now find myself dipping into other unknown areas. Anyway, if no one can suggest a good fascimile of this hat, I would be interested in any informed...

    Last Man Standing hat?

    Caught "Last Man Standing" on cable last night. Much to my surprise, my wife (who usually looks askance at my vintage leanings) was watching it with me and said she thought I would look good in a hat like the one Bruce Willis wore in the film. So, can anyone help me find...

    Single breasted peak lapel

    Amen, brother! Totally agree. When I first got out of the military, I bought a lot of Lands End stuff for my first batch of civilian business attire. The shirts were OK (I at least knew enough to buy 100% cotton), but as I've learned more about men's clothing, I've become less and less...

    WWII Squadron Patches (USAAF, USMC, RAF, etc.)

    Whoops! Sorry Felix, I didn't see those there (including your own VF-3 patch) ... I was so focused on some of the other patches, especially the Donald Duck one. I found a whole page of patches that were apparently done by Disney and Warner Bros. artists during the war. Check out...

    Eastman Rangoon "Pink" Army Officer's Shirt, 17x35

    Brand new, never worn, still in original plastic. Costs $106 ($95 + $11 shipping) if you order from History Preservation Associates (US Eastman distributor) directly. I'll sell it to you for $85 and probably can save you a few bucks on shipping too. Contrasting "chocolate" (dark olive drab)...

    WWII Squadron Patches (USAAF, USMC, RAF, etc.)

    Thanks! Okay, I'll try and test this newfound ability with my favorite USMC patch, that of Pappy Boyington's VMF-214 Black Sheep. They might have been Leathernecks, but you gotta love the Corsair. :)

    WWII Squadron Patches (USAAF, USMC, RAF, etc.)

    How about a little Navy representation? Can't let you AAF guys dominate the thread. How about a classic Navy patch? Sorry, but apparently I'm too junior to the forum to post pictures, so a link will have to do. VF-3: http://www.flightsuits.com/patch_vf3.html

    Great British television.

    Coupling Concur with everyone who liked The Office ... great stuff. Haven't seen the American version; I like Steve Carell from his days on The Daily Show, but I'm just too afraid to ruin my memories of the BBC version. Another great BBC sitcom that I used to catch occasionally when...

    WWII Birds and the Goose

    I think I've been inside the Goose ... It could be my memory playing tricks on me, but I seem to remember that when I was a kid and I visited the Spruce Goose at its old home in Long Beach (next to the Queen Mary), we were allowed to go up and look inside the fuselage. I have a vague memory of...

    Shoulder holsters

    Left handed M7 in black I found one place that sells a left-handed M7, but only in the post-1956 black leather. http://www.imsplus.com/ims38.html

    Repro WWII sweatshirts?

    Paddy -- The sweatshirt in your photo is one you made yourself, right? Thought I read that somewhere else. If so, I'm assuming those are the sweatshirts no longer being made. Or do you mean the Buzz Ricksons are no longer being made?

    HBO's Carnivale

    I've seen a few episodes ... I watched a few episodes at a friend's place. While I don't claim to be an expert on the clothing of the depicted period, all of it looked pretty good to me. Plus I seem to remember that it's shot in a bit of a sepia tone to make it look more "vintage." The story...
