fur felt in hot weather?
Well, since it only rains in the summer once every four or five years, once the temps get above necktie weather (75F+) it's panama time. However, I'm leaving for the Netherlands Thursday and the weather there is tweed and felt central. It's going to be a lovely ten days . . . -
Stroller - Morning Dress only?
I wore mine but failed to take a picture. It was warm and after singing through two services, I wanted out! -
Show us your Guns!
I am a serious believer in iron sights. Time and gravity have plaid hob with my ability to use the V notch effectively but a good peep is a dream come true. I have both a .318 WR by W.W. Greener and a .404 Jeffery by BSA so equipped (post production) and have taken several head of game with...- Oldsarge

A grand old gun, simply grand. Late 1880's Purdey? It simply doesn't get any better. Next you'll be telling us about your collection of split bamboo fly rods, I suppose.:cool:- Oldsarge

Show us your Guns!
I consider the Krag one of the most under-appreciated rifles ever made. While the 30-40 really isn't up to mule deer across the canyon or antelope late in the season it is a fine caliber and the Krag action is the fastest bolt gun ever made. I have one, but it's a chromed parade rifle my...- Oldsarge

Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes suit
His loss was a great one to both the Holmes' oeuvre and to literate television in general. The definitive Sherlock of his era . . . and those that follow. RIP, Jeremy, you were the artist's artist. -
Hat etiquette at casino?
I suspect that in European casinos generally the dinner jacket is still common. However, when I was in Europe and in a position to visit one (Bad Homberg) I couldn't have afforded the DJ let alone the cost of an evening's gambling so I speak only from hearsay. -

Hat etiquette at casino?
Given the lack of support hat wearers get, generally, I operate on the assumption that private homes and churches are reason to take my hat off. I do when I'm eating, as well. However, shopping malls, convention centers and other similar large, open buildings are, AFAIC, the outdoors and I... -

If I ever won a lottery, assuming I ever bought a ticket, a G&H sporter in '06 would be high on my want list. I just love those things . . .- Oldsarge

BOTH SIDES OF THE TWEED! - Show us your tweed suits, sport coats and pants
LOL. That depends on how you define 'perfect'. The first time he retired she got so annoyed at him lying around the house telling her what to do that she chased him outside and told him to find some new work. He'd made a modest fortune as a printer the first time around so he went out, got a... -

Ever made up Townsend Whelen's lean-to? The way he describes it, you'd think it was a palace in the wilderness.- Oldsarge

BOTH SIDES OF THE TWEED! - Show us your tweed suits, sport coats and pants
I love a half-belted coat. They fairly reek of bracken, fall leaves and the smell of nitrocellulose powder. -
Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom

Finally!
Diet, Schmiet! We're just physically larger (and not just fatter) than that generation. I mean, my very dapper grandfather was wearing those suits in the '20's and 30's, his brothers were tailoring them, my father wore them until WWII broke out. Cred established? Fine. Now I'd like to point...
