    Tell me about Brooks Brothers

    It has been my experience that the quality is above average, but also a little overpriced. I would probably shop there more if the staff at the BB store at Somerset Mall in Troy, MI was not made up of the possibly the largest collection of arrogent commission based sales people I have ever seen...

    Show us your Guns!

    I have an old M97 that my father "liberated" when he retired from the bank he worked at for 25-years. It was kept in the safe in case of robbery. It was originally a trench gun in WWI. M97's were often called knuckle-busters because of the wounds inflicted to the shooter's right thumb when...

    Show us your Guns!

    JJ, Chech out Jaquas in Findlay, Ohio. (Jaquas.com) They are very honest and see a lot of guns, from extremely high end to the basic. They have some of the new 20 ga M37s listed on their site as well as some used 12's. Thinking about my original reply, the "new" M37's may be manufactured...

    Show us your Guns!

    Enough talk of pistols, black guns, auto-jammers, and pump-guns. Here are some shotguns that are truly vintage. All American made (by hand), all fully functioinal, and as lively in hand as any gun you could hope to handle. This is a 16 ga Parker DH that left the shop in 1894. The barrels...

    Not true. Ithica did close down a few years ago but re-opend in central Ohio last year. You can in fact buy new M37's although I don't know why anyone would want to. There are a lot of fine original M37's on the market that are "vintage" in every respect. Other than a BPS (cough, cough) I...

    Favorite everyday watch

    Hamilton Khaki Automatic. Black face, stainless case and brown leather band. Simple, yet a classic and I wear it everywhere everyday (unless working in the yard). It is a heck of a nice watch for what I paid for it 15 years ago (before Hamilton was purchased by Swatch). Anyone know a...

    Hat for Upland Hunting

    New Book: "The Thin Man: Murder Over Cocktails"

    Thanks for letting us know about this book. My wife, daughter and I have had a lot of fun over the years watching the adventures of Nick, Nora and Asta - this will be a great addition to our collection.

    My Aero Natural Vintage HH - A2

    I have had my eye on those boots for a couple of weeks and his pictures pushed me over the edge. Zappos.com has em. $215.00 (US). Not sure how Zappos does shipping overseas but they are killer here in the states. I ordered mine at 6:20 this evening and they'll be at my door tomorrow...

    Amanda @ Aero

    I just completed the order process through Aero and found her to be a pleasure to deal with, as well. As for her looks, I can only dream, but she sounds great on the phone. :p

    At the Front Militaria

    I did some digging last night and found a pair of Redwings that are fairly similar: http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7546200/c/281.html I actually talked with a rep from Redwing who told me that these were actually not real comfortable to wear, primarily because they are not bult like shoes today...

    At the Front Militaria

    Interesting thought - I have considered that but really have not given it that much weight. I figured it a WWII footsoldier could wear them day in/out, so could I, regardless of technology. If there are modern boots similar in appearance I would certainly appreciate being pointed in that...

    At the Front Militaria

    I am thinking about getting a pair of the US Service shoe for general wear. Wearing around town, walking the dog, just the usual stuff. Are the comfortable enough for that kind of wear? Thanks

    Briefcases

    My Custom Hide 1945 Computer Bag arrived a couple of weeks ago and I really like it. Substantial, but not too heavy and just the right size for me. Also, dealing with Tony was a pleasure. He is very accomodating. Cheers, Doublegun

    Shoes, looking for something stylish, and versatile

    I like them, not sure I could pull off wearing them, but I like them. In fact, there are several styles on their website that are nice. Any others out there? Thanks

    Shoes, looking for something stylish, and versatile

    The UPS guy has been here 3x this week with shoes from Zappos but I still don't have what I am looking for. Basically, a versatile all around leather shoe that will work with khakis and jeans. A shoe comfortable enough for me to walk my dogs in (3-miles/day). Nice rich brown, captoe would be...
