    Mountain Khakis from REI

    I just ordered a pair of Mountain Khakis from REI (from the REI outlet for half price) and from what I can tell from pictures they look like a pretty decent pair of work/hiking pants with a very wide leg (9.5” flat 19” total at bottom opening). They’re mid rise unlike my Bill’s Khakis M1s but...

    Ben Davis "Gorilla Cut" work pants

    Hello all! It's been a while since I've started a post here so excuse me if this has turned up before (I didn't see it when I searched but I may have missed something). I was wondering if anyone has tried the "Gorilla Cut" pants made by Ben Davis? They are described as having extra wide legs...

    Up for grabs is a 1955 Motorola Black and White table top television set. It powers up and works although it needs some tune-up for the horizontal/vertical control. Black metal cabinet with gold accents. All original. I recommend that the original paper capacitors be replaced and a fuse be...

    The Clothing of Miles Davis

    Miles Davis is one of my favorite Jazz artists. He was almost as famous (or infamous) for his love of fine clothes. While searching for images I found a website who's author was given boxes of Miles Davis's clothing at a rummage sale in the 1980s. For FREE. Yes, outfits worn by one of the...

    WANTED: Woody's specs (eyeglass frames, that is)

    I hope that someone will be able to sell me a pair of these distinctive eyeglass frames or point me to a reliable source. I've been wearing eyeglasses since I was 3 years old and have been collecting different types for about 20 years now. Over the years I've come close, but I've not yet...

    A 1930s two-piece and a 1940s three-piece suit for sale

    I have two vintage suits for sale and I would love to sell them to a fellow Fedora Lounge member. Both of these suits have some (mostly) minor issues that I will do my best to detail fully. These suits are still quite wearable although perhaps less for the job interview/client meeting and more...

    Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT

    Hmmm...I didn't like Sin City and if they're changing his iconic blue to black it gives me a bad feeling about what else may be changed. Too bad they never filmed the version that Harlan Ellison wrote. It would have been great.

    S.F. News:Washington Square Bar and Grill Closes

    I just saw on the TV news that the Washington Square Bar and Grill in North Beach closed today. Speculation is it's the economy-tough times for a high rent area. I'm sorry to see another great old style establishment go. They had hat hooks on the wall above the tables... Probably to be...

    Dry cleaning a m-1943 field jacket. Is it safe?

    I just received a 1946 field jacket that has (I think) a strong chemical-probably moth ball-smell and I'd like to have it dry cleaned. Is it safe for the vintage buttons? I've read that some old buttons may be damaged by the process. I don't want to wash this in an ordinary machine. The person...

    Here's an interesting read about the 1942 recording ban-the AF of M strike-that led to working musicians moving away from the big bands into small combos playing in almost "speakeasy" type clubs and giving birth to BeBop among other things...http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1904567
