    A question about high-waisted trousers

    I am betting that you, Big Brother, much like me, have nothing in the way of hips. I have always had the same problem keeping anything but jeans/belt up securely, and even then I'm tugging them up all day. I also have no butt to speak of. There's just nothing for pants to hold onto. The braces...

    wash your jeans?

    My experience has been to order them the correct waist size and add several inches to the length. The waist shrinks only slightly and stretches back to the right size within an hour or so of wearing them again. I wish I'd added more length because I prefer a cuff, but there's no extra fabric for...

    wash your jeans?

    I picked up some shrink to fit Levi 501 last month and just washed them for the first time. I'm getting some nice crease fade. When I first put them on my wife laughed. "Those are way too big." They were 4" too long and needed double cuffing, the legs were wide and the butt sagged. Now, they...

    Walter Winchell—Songwriter?

    The day after I started this thread, a copy of the record popped up on eBay and I won it for less than $10, my general limit price for buying 78s no matter how scarce. I have it and it sounds great, in much better shape than the seller indicated. I'm a big fan of Red Nichols sides from this...

    Walter Winchell—Songwriter?

    Thanks for the background, Lizzie. I knew you'd be able to help. It is a great record. I have a nice digital transfer but I'd like to have the real thing, pops and all. I don't know who did the vocals. I'm beginning to think it was Nichols himself. And I don't get why the title is also in a...

    Walter Winchell—Songwriter?

    I’ve been trying to find a copy of this 78. Brunswick 6068, Red Nichols “Things I Never Knew Till Now.” In posting to groups in my search, someone notices that one of the credited writers is “Winchell,” and sure enough, it’s Walter Winchell. Apparently he did a little tune writing early on...

    Dentist Woes!

    I've been lucky to have good teeth, and went faithfully to the dentist every six months for 30 years-- and then lost all health insurance. It's been several years since I've seen a dentist, and have lost a filing and two teeth have broken. I'll tell you, the worst way to have a tooth out is for...

    What do you use to shave?

    I found a '66 Gillette slim adjustable in a cup of old razors at an antique shop last week for $3 and grabbed it. It's working out really well and I see why so many members have spoken so highly of it. I'm giving my 1912 a rest for now since this one came along.

    Ma Rainey's Black Bottom - Netflix

    We watched this Saturday night, and it has much to recommend it. Of course, Viola Davis brings a fearless performance as the Mother of the Blues, Ma Rainey. Branford Marsalis is responsible for the music. Its the last performance by Chadwick Boseman, who died of cancer after filing was...

    Thanks! That's a Ralph Lauren from the mid 1980s that was a gift from my then-fiancee. I'm seeing a lot of great looking cardigans pop up in internet ads but they all seem to be mainly synthetic and poorly made.

    Amy Schumer, The Problem Pregnancy, and the Beaten Jacket

    "Expecting Amy," a docu-series following Amy Schumer's terribly difficult pregnancy, has a scene near the end where she and her husband are staying at a rented house near an active stream with plenty of rapids. He puts a new leather jacket into a cage and throws it into the water while they're...

    Help I’d this overcoat

    Something about that triangle stitching makes me think replaced liner. And as Peacoat said, the buttons may very well be replacements. It looks military to me as well.
