    I have an EB down sleeping bag from the 70's. There are no comparably made products on the market today, that's ZERO! Granted my EB weights 3x-4x what a new down bag weights but I don't take it hiking so I don't give a hoot. EB of today is just pathetic. Marginal quality, high price, poor...

    fountain pen newbie

    I too, am glad this thread was started. I have been using the Vastisy disposibles for years but have been reluctant to make the jump to a "real" fountain pen in part because I have not felt comfortable that I knew enough to make at least a semi-informed decision. I am not there yet but I am a...

    My Aero Long Half Belt...

    Just curious: what would be the correct historical period for a LHB?

    Capped-toe brown shoes - thois should be easy...

    Looking for a pair of well built capped toe brown shoes. WELL BUILT is the key - I want a pair that will last a very long time with truly classic design. Seems to be a simple request and not too much to ask for, right? Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks, Doublegun

    Shuron Glasses

    Thinking of ordering a pair of gold Ronwinnes with cables. From reading this thread is sounds like the quality is pretty good. Has any one had a pair of these for a few years? I wonder how they'll hold up.

    fountain pen newbie

    Glad to see this thread. I am a "lefty" and have a heck of a time writing with pens - virtually any pen (ball point, felt, you name it), except the Pilot Varsity. That's about the only pen I ever use anymore and I buy them by the box. Back to the original topic/question, what's a good pen...

    How not to look like Indiana Jones?

    I don't want to be seen as anyone but me. The way I dress is a direct reflection of my style and personality and I am not trying to copy anyone. Why a fedora instead of a ball cap? I wear a hat to guard against the elements. I wear a fedora because 75% of the time a ball cap is inappropriate...

    "Band of Brothers" hero's passing...

    To be so brave and so modest. That's a combination virtually impossible to find today. Godspeed to Mr. Powers and peace to his family.

    How not to look like Indiana Jones?

    I am kind of a work in progress when it comes to hats. Definitly not a stingy brim kind of guy and I prefer a taller open crown. I may try a smaller brim - kind of like Depp's in PE.

    3-days in NYC

    Just got back from three very warm and humid days in NYC, my first visit in 3-years and my first visit in the summer in 20+years. I was realy surprised by the number of Panama's and knock-offs I saw being warn around lower Manhattan, Tribecca and Soho. Is that a new trend or old news? When I...

    How not to look like Indiana Jones?

    My LHB is breaking in nicely and I can't wait to start wearing it this fall. I am sure on rainy and/or cold days I'll also wear a hat (Camp Draft, Fed IV, or yet to be aquired lid). Aside from not carrying a whip and a gun how does one avoid the Raiders looks and comments?

    Show us your Guns!

    I think Kimber makes the best off the shelf, new, 1911 for the money right now. They are extremely accurate right out of the box, very well made and readily available. Who makes the best 1911? I guess it really comes down to what you want the gun for. If you want a nostalgic piece, look for...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    "The standard Dark Moss Sportaire with 2.5 inch brim." Oh, that's rich. I am thinking I may have to have one of those.

    Public Enemies

    As luck would have it I am in Chicago week after next. Planning two side trips: the Biograph and Optimo. Does anyone know of the Biograph is still operational? It would be pretty cool to go to the Biograph tonight to see a movie.

    30's~40's Work Boots

    Beautiful boots, pretty much exactly what I am looking for, but gawd they are not cheap. The Wolverine "Darby" is supposed to be out this fall - I think I'll wait and see how they look. DG

    Determining which hat is right?

    Ok, the short answer is probably the one that I like. However, as with pretty much any article of clothing, there are does and don'ts so what are the basic guidelines for determining if a hat is "right" for a given shape of the face, shape of the head, coloration, etc.

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot review

    I am going to be in NYC next weekend and may pay a call on Scoop NYC. Their Darby boot is the one I am actually after.
