    removing mold smell from leather?

    vinegar I've treated several leather items with vinegar for mold, and it works, a bit of lemon skin rubbed on afterwards as well helps. No smell no mo.

    “Ain’t We Got Style?" - A Vanity Fair Photoshoot

    what's old is always new I don't mind this sort of thing because what it does is keep opening the eyes of the young or 'hip' to classic style, and as a purveyor of vintage clothes let me tell you that if I relied on people MY OWN AGE buying my stuff to survive, I'd have been up the proverbial...

    Bad Exchange Rate

    oh boo hoo So what about the other point of view? A high AUD means it's now more affordable for us here to buy USA products which I for one virtually stopped doing since the Wall Street moneyrapers dumped our currency a while back and it hurtled south even though there were very few structural...

    Gabin the Man Love Ghrisbi, one of my fave films, and I recently read a book about the French gangster scene of the Postwar period that it inspired at the time, there was some pretty crazy stuff going on..the Govt issued the Gendarmes with submachine guns to try and combat the lawlessness but...

    hound dog

    Anybody interested in this Houndstooth 3/4 wool coat? It's about a 42 as far as I can calculate, it fits me perfectly, but I just have too many overcoats for someone who lives where it's only cold about 2 months of the year. Condition is excellent of course, lining all together etc. I'm...

    The Full Monty Python

    my lizard on the wall We have them as well, the Asian variety has somehow made it down here from the tropics and is displacing the native ones, but they do eat mosquitoes, seen it happen many times, as well as moths and cockroaches, they are seriously fast at it too.

    Where can I buy Lexol or good leather conditioner in Sydney?

    the basics As someone who has been wearing vintage leather jackets for nearly 30 years and still has the first one I ever bought, I strongly advise an equal mixture of beeswax/neatsfoot oil/lanolin melted together in a glass jar in boiling water and brushed on while warm, left overnight, then...

    The Full Monty Python

    eat your pets? I couldn't eat him, it'd be too much like munching on a pet, we have a lot of rodents around these parts, and it's a long and ancient tradition to have a snake in the roof. We feel honoured now to have him up there, it means we have sort of become real locals or something, and...

    Authenticity in the Vintage World?

    I feel brand new This is a problem with set dressing in film, anything set in the 40's usually has all accurate period vehicles, but only assuming everyone bought a new car every year. If you look at contemporary photos from the 40's, you'll see old 20's trucks, 30's family vehicles etc etc...

    Hawaiian Shirts - Aloha Shirts

    oxford tuck Well, as a serious collector of aloha shirts I'm firmly in the camp of NEVER tuck them in, but look what I found, a classic era shirt that not only is meant to be tucked in, but has a button down collar.....

    Just Who Can Wear a Uniform?

    the blood rules In my opinion, the fact that it belonged to a family member overrules all other considerations, the bloodline gives you the right to wear the thing as you see fit; medals are a different matter in my eyes, but that's a personal thing. The ex-service organisations in this country...

    technical label

    I know I'm not supposed to post live ebay stuff, but I need to illustrate a point: this shirt claims to be 50's however the tag below the label looks to me like it was from an inkjet printer, now apparently the use of this type of printer was pioneered in the fashion industry in the...

    Michael Jackson Dead at age 50

    goldfish bowl One view is that he was a frootloop who hadn't made a decent record in 20 years, the other may be that if he was crazy, who could blame him....his entire life was lived in the public eye, and remorselessly so: every foible examined, and behaviour that your average joe in the...

    It ain't for sale

    seedy Interesting for two reasons, one, a nice look with the hat, two, I have an old IKAT wall-hanging embroidered with glass beads that look just like that I've been trying to date, now I have a clue to go on.
