    The 6 Most Ill-Conceived Weapons Ever Built

    This was posted by the "humor" web site Cracked.com earlier today. Evidently the writers are mostly young, slacker/hipster types who, with very little historical background, love to make fun of things they see but do not understand. Since most of the weapons "detailed" in the article were from...

    Proppa British Brew-up

    Classic British Forces "char" was simple black tea if I recall. A proper "brew up" in the Western Desert of World War 2 consisted of filling your Bengazi Burner (the lower cut off half of a used petrol flimsy) with sand, then adding petrol and lighting it with a match. Fill another cut off...

    Chaplis (or chapplies: Indian sandal thingies)

    What Price Glory has finally got them in. Just the job for anyone needing proper footwear to complete that L.R.D.G or Northwest Frontier look. Take a shufti here and let's hear what you think. Cheers!

    HELP! A rip in my leather coat!

    I've just discovered a small tear in the leather of my ELC Brooklands motoring coat. The coat has a detachable two piece belt that's attached via two buttons sewn to a fixed half belt on the back. The tear begins at the point where one of the buttons is sewn and runs forward to the side seam...

    A New Short Film: "Dawn's Early Light"

    I recently coproduced a short film which is now available for viewing as a submission to the upcoming Fox reality show, On The Lot, being executive produced by Mark Burnett and Steven Spielberg. Cleverly described by someone as "83 Charlie Mopic films the Zone Troopers attacking the Blair...

    Here we go again -- J. Peterman's Blue Blazer

    Man o man, I really need a snazzy looking blue blazer to replace the old Willis & Gieger DB which I no longer own, and here comes JP's email with a link to their latest online catalogue. And within there resides a listing for their Classic English Blazer. Once again, a tantalizing...

    The Santa Sessions

    I realize that it's bit late to post anything with a Christmas theme, but I just got this link today from a friend who works at one of the United States' biggest jingle houses. Odds are, if you listen to radio, this outfit created the promotional campaigns played by most of the radio stations in...

    How to Fold A Puggaree

    I know we've touched on puggarees before, but I don't believe that anyone has shown us how to actually fold one of the bloody things. And so without further ado, I present the link to Lawrance Ordnance's PDF file How to Fold a Puggaree which I just discovered they've added. Merry Christmas!

    My Latest Score!

    We took a drive into the big city today to pick up bird feeding supplies and since we were nearby, we stopped off at the Orvis Store to take a look at what they had. It was also the last day of their "Orvis Days" Promotion and so I brought along a printout of the $25 coupon they'd emailed me...

    Tweed Norfolk Jacket

    I just stumbled across this at a web site named Distinctly British. They also have a tweed shooting jacket that looks very cool. Comments? Cheers!

    What Price Glory's M1910 Campaign Hat

    Here are a couple of pics of the M1910 campaign hat I recently picked up. It's wool felt with five rows of stitching on the brim, and it's unlined with a leather sweatband. The officer's gold and black hat cord and chinstrap are extra, but all three items only total $84 USD, which is a heck of a...

    Mad Dogs, Englishmen, and Texans

    Noel Coward almost had it right. ;) I decided to go out and do a bit of light yard work this afternoon and thought I'd give the KDs and my repro Wolesley a workout. Before I started I snapped the shot below. Time: about 1:30 CDT. Temperature: 104¬? F. Humidity: a relatively dry 30%. :eek...

    "PFC," a short film about WW2

    MODS: I wasn't sure whether to start this here or in The Moving Picture section, so please feel free to put it where it needs to go (oh yeah, I know I'm opening myself up! ;) ) About this time last year, I worked on a submission for the 24 Hour Video Race held by the Dallas Video Fest, one of...

    Looking for a Skimmer

    I've been thinking about adding a straw boater to the collection. I saw that Baron, Berkley and Miller all offer what is probably the same Italian made hat, but Baron offers it in two brim widths and Miller has several different styles of ribbon. Anybody here have any thoughts or...

    Almost Time to Get Your Knees Brown!

    I know that Spring has only just started, and that in some parts of the northern hemisphere snow is still on the ground. But in anticipation of warmer weather, my thoughts have turned to tropical uniforms and have started dusting off some things in my collection as well as making a couple of new...

    J. Peterman Spanish-Style Linen Jacket

    Well, it arrived today, and it's a keeper! Perhaps I've just gotten flashier in my old age, but this one has one heck of a lot of personality. It's made from a very light 100% linen that has a nice slubby texture as can be seen in the closer shots, and it has a simple rayon/poly lining in the...

    New Aero Cossack Halfbelt

    Here are some pictures of the new Cossack halfbelt jacket I just got from Aero Leather Clothing. I had it made from their medium weight smooth horsehide with a cotton twill lining and an inside pocket. I think it turned out quite nice, but I am debating whether I've got the side waist adjusters...

    Golden Age Live Theatre

    How many people here would go to watch performances of stage plays that were written during the !920s, 30s or 40s? I see a lot of interest in Golden Age film, but what about live theatre from the same period? Specifically, if there were a theatre that specialized in productions from that era...
