    Did men in the Golden Era wear black watch straps with black dress shoes?

    I would think that married men wouldn't get out of the house with mismatched leathers--shoes, belt, watch strap. Otherwise, then, as now, men who knew better probably made sure they were not in brown shoes/black watch band/vice-versa.

    A Series; All Creatures Great and Small

    I also read all the books and enjoyed the original serial adaptation. This one has me completely hooked. I watch all three seasons and start over. I’ve decided this is where I want to live, as it’s perfect for me: Skeldale House is just perfect. It has actually revived my waning interest in...

    With some questions legitimately raised regarding the international legality of selling a garment which appears to be made from the protected hide of sea lion, this is locked. Do not relist.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Ma Rainey's Black Bottom is back on Netflix, so I watched it again yesterday. Viola Davis is just incredible, of course, and it's probably the only chance we'll have to see an electrical "studio" recording being created in the 1920s. Also pretty sobering to realize this was Chadwick Boseman's...

    How to address head shape?

    Speaking as likely the longest long oval head of all 50,000 people here, I've found that two types of hats fir me: stiffish felts with a brim that won't distort in a slightly too big size, or vintage hats marked XX Long Oval.

    What do you use to shave?

    I used to use Williams pucks also. I'm working my way through two very reasonably priced soaps from Classic Shaving. Bay Rum and Coconut Lime. The scents are quite light and vanish pretty quickly. Lots of great lather.

    What do you use to shave?

    Im seeing several "influencers" breathlessly describing this all new way to shave, and they're hawking one of the new (but ordinary) double edged safety razors. Also, if you haven't followed the Instagram account maulludaniele, it's oddly fun to watch a pro carrying off perfect straight razor...

    Vintage Baby and Children's Clothing Collectors?

    In going though my mother's cedar chest recently, I found that she had saved dozens of pairs of white leather children's shoes from the late 40s through the early 60s. They were all quite worn and hard as rocks. There were also dresses worn by my sister in around 1949, a sailor suit my brother...
