    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Radio wrecked my ability to read fast. Doing commercials, we were taught to say each word individually, even if speaking quickly. The habit became so ingrained that reading a book is a long process. I read at spoken word pace.

    Why did we make ourselves into walking advertisements?

    I'm at this moment wearing a T I picked up on a recent trip south from "The Rattlesnake Saloon." Actually a hamburger and beer joint wedged into a rock outcropping out in the middle of nowhere. It was a fast down and back three day trip, the first out of my home state in six years, so I wanted a...

    Why did we make ourselves into walking advertisements?

    WISH LIST

    Homburgs are tough to find a use for. Too formal for most occasions. I have a sweet Stetson in light gray, size 8. I guess it used to be a wish list thing until I had one.

    Is/was there a "color code" for suspenders/braces in corporate US?

    I believe that suspenders were a way for a man to express individuality. I remember seeing some pretty amazing patterns and designs, and guys used to show them off. Abercrombie & Fitch (before they were kid porn), used to have a big display of them with all kinds of whimsical patterns. I don't...

    Recreating hard-sided luggage

    There is a place near me, in Amish Country, Called Lehman Brothers Hardware. It has just about everything you can no longer find, including a large supply of restoration materials for luggage and trunks (mainly trunks), and they have the metal corner guards, etc. Unfortunately, they only offer...

    New Bill Kelso model

    I personally think the best thing is that we consider the manufacturer in question to have been discussed enough and let it go. We may remove threads in the future. This one has run its course.

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...
