    Show us your Guns!

    You're killing me. It's this time of year I always start to think about trying out Cowboy Action Shooting. I need to go price out Peacemaker replicas, lever-action carbines, and coach guns again so I can remember why I haven't done it yet.

    You look good for 139.

    Skills For "Living The Era"

    Agreed. Great thread. It's wonderful to have a repository for this information that might otherwise be lost.

    Never Button the Bottom Button

    I've begun to believe my blazers don't want to be buttoned at all, since they keep spitting out their top buttons. The razor-sharp loops on the back of the metal buttons seem to work their way through the stitching in about seven wearings.

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    Shangas, why not just order it if that's what you really want? Custom Hide 1945 US Army leather brown briefcase. I've had mine for years now (just had it serviced by them, in fact), and don't regret it in the least. Or will they not do overseas sales?

    Renovating my AE34 telephone

    Great thread. I can't wait to see how the body work turns out.

    Our own vintage town

    I'm all for light rail. And I heartily appreciate the poetic justice in using bus fares to build it.

    Everyday Fellows of the Golden Era?

    Good blog posts. Peruvian Navy uniforms sure were snappy.

    Brims - How do you like them

    I indulge that look from time to time. It can be fun. I have not mastered the vest-and-undershirt combo, however.

    Calling Dapper Chaps

    Wonderful stuff, VB. I recently discovered Mr. Hagey via Instagram and I've been gobbling up his blog. I'm nowhere near as Dapper as these Chaps, but I do find their sartorial independence quite inspiring!

    Wow, that's great news, SM! Thanks for pointing that out to me.

    Stuff you learn about your ancestors

    The other interesting thing, about which not much is known, is that my grandfather witnessed the murder or accidental killing of his cousin while a teenager: The "SHS 31" means "Springfield (Illinois) High School, Class of 1931". They were in an alleyway and encountered someone with a .45...

    Stuff you learn about your ancestors

    Probably the most interesting fact I've learned is that I still have a fairly close branch of the family back in the old country. My great-great grandfather was one of three brothers who came here as adults in the 1880s. This I knew. What I did not know until fellow lounger and distant cousin...

    Mister Freedom Denim Peacoat

    I think the trick is to think of this not as a peacoat made of denim, but as a denim jacket cut as a peacoat. I've never liked the high-and-tight fit of most denim jackets, but I could certainly see wearing this. I suspect it's out of my price range, however.

    Purgatory Station: Inside San Francisco's Vintage Streetcar Boneyard

    I'd love to ride on any PCC, but especially a DSR liveried one. Too bad all of Detroit's originals were destroyed in an earthquake, otherwise I'll bet at least one would be plying the lines of Frisco.

    Post New Hats Here!

    Just picked this one up from Vintage Haberdashers (Dinerman). Very nice hat. And oddly, it seems the former owner and I have very similar names - I am a William David II also.
