    Give me your comments on this leather great coat.

    Nice jacket. If you're a younger guy with long hair, it'll be less trouble. I've wanted one for a while, but I couldn't figure out any place I could wear it. So I bought a 70s brown leather trench coat instead.

    Obama's A2 ?

    The modern A2 looks better on bigger guys. And few jackets look good when worn over a bulletproof vest - a popular fashion item in Afghanistan these days.

    How do you drink your whiskey?

    With ice. Medium-large glass. Americans prefer their drinks cold, even hot chocolate. :D I always order by brand.

    Recommendations on some pants, er, trousers...

    Edward: Their website has some problems. Try service[at]pirclothingco.com I bought two pairs from them, but I still haven't had them altered.

    Spectator Shoes

    Very interesting. Could you cite a book/article where you got that from? I like collecting strange factoids like that. I also have issues with vintage shoes not fitting my swim-fin-shaped feet.

    Is "yanks" an offensive title

    Not to me. For the UK'ers, calling a southerner a yankee is like calling a Scotsman an Englishman. Might get you into a fight in a low bar in Georgia, but that's easy to do anyway. Personally, I prefer 'Texan' or 'Great Satan.' :cool:

    The Vintage Outdoor Look has Gone Mainstream

    Pants in the boots are much more practical. After a long day in muck and mire, just hose off your boots and walk into the house without your pants smelling like *shaving cream, be nice and clean, shave every day and you'll always look keen* :p

    Shirt collars over lapels?

    Very nice. That blue suit is a thing of beauty - do you know what (besides blue) that color is called? I've been wanting one like that since seeing the original Maxwell Smart wearing one.

    Fur collared Luftwaffe leather jacket. Has anyody come across one of those?

    Nice jackets... but what caught my eye were those strange-looking boots(?) on the guy in the middle. What are they, low boots with canvas gaiters?

    What to wear to a job fair?

    Dark suit, plain tie, shined shoes (little bit of water, polish, and an old t-shirt), clean, with a hundred copies of your resume.

    How Do You Keep Your Ears Warm?

    Silk scarf. Under the chin, over the ears, tie it on the top of the head. You look pretty silly wearing it with the hat off, though (at least I do). Or you can wear the silk scarf like a bandanna that covers your ears. Or wear an aviator hat.

    One detail seems overlooked in The Quest For The Perfect Safari Hat...

    I do this on outdoor hats. Works as a good sun shade and as a rain gutter.

    The worlds most expensive mens suit

    If you were standing in bright sunlight with that suit, you could probably blind a lot of people. Interesting jacket for a performer of some kind.

    Finances in the Golden Era and today

    They weren't given the houses outright - IIRC, they were either renting or lending the houses to their kids.

    Finances in the Golden Era and today

    Lots of people living in their parents' and grandparents' homes? I had some great grandparents who owned multiple rental properties back in the day (50s, 60s IIRC), and some of their married kids lived in those for a while.

    What we have to put up with!

    It's SomethingAwful. He got much better advice than I'd've expected. lol There's a natural inclination in humans - like wants to associate with like. IIRC, there was a study done recently that made headlines in some places as "babies are racist." It boiled down to infants preferring to be...
