How many own a vintage suit?
In the swim The main problem I have with vintage clothes is that as an Australian, I learnt to swim at an early age, and still bodysurf regularly, therefore I have the classic developed shoulders that brings. Clothes in the past were not cut to allow for this, and at the markets I sell most of... -

Blundstone Boots
under the gunn I noticed that the MD's name is Gunn. I wonder if he's one of the Tasmanian family of Gunn's that are one of the most rapacious woodchipping companies in the world, apparently the family that actually own (or once did) Blundstone are very distressed about the whole thing. The...- dr greg

Blank-firing Webley revolver
sublime to the.... I don't know if I've said this before, but in this country replica firearms are considered so dangerous that a film armourer charges a lot more to turn up with fakes than the real thing due to all the extra permits required. I know this from experience, and was also informed... -
Euro vandals in NYC subways
Windows The broken window theory might have a point in urban areas, but I don't know that environment is all there is to it. Where I live, which is bucolic sub-tropical coastline, we have an epidemic of teen gangs some armed, assaulting tourists, women and children being bashed in home...- dr greg

Movie Cliche´s - The Car Chase
french connections one of the best city car chases is the one at the start of SUBWAY which starred Chrisophe Lambert before all the women realised he can't act. It does of course owe it all to the original Italian Job, which, like Bullitt, wrote the book.- dr greg

How is your eye?
practise makes perfect I'm sure there are savants who just know from an early age, there's some english kid who can pick stuff out at 5 yrs old or whatever, but I go mainly by colour, especially in shirts and jeans and usually suits and hats, there were different dyes used back then, I can pick...- dr greg

one for snopes?
I was sent this recently: with accompanying pics, but they could have been from anywhere: Charlie Brown was a B-17 Flying Fortress pilot with the 379th Bomber Group at Kimbolton, England. His B-17 was called 'Ye Old Pub' and during its mission was now in a terrible state, having been hit by... -
did it again!
high brim 3" wide, crown height 4" so it's a 2" ribbon, I Like it! Don't know what the fibre is though, but like the other two similar ones I have, it's been painted. no doubt for waterproofing, i'm sure there's someone here who knows more about this. -
did it again!
Check out this late 50's CASUAL brand beauty. Unworn, but ribbon a bit faded, what the hell at $3 I can handle it.Can you see how the weave is heavier about an inch out from the join and then gets finer across the brim? The paint on this is virtually mint as well, and apart from a slight bend... -
Help for us Americans?
suds OK I will be honest, beer must have improved DRAMATICALLY in the US since I last drank my way from NY to LA, because damn near everything that touched my lips in any state was dishwater. The only beer that was worth the name that I encountered was Shiner Bock down in Texas. I can't believe...- dr greg

The Godfather of Soul has passed.
The Man is gone I can't believe it, we were listening to James Brown as we had Xmas dinner, and allowing for international time zones, that was roughly when he checked out. My band had also done Sex Machine and Superbad at a Xmas Eve concert the night before. Drag out your vinyl or Cd's and...- dr greg

Vintage Police Uniforms

Vintage Police Uniforms
not Liza with a Z I feel I can be pedantic on this forum and not be taken the wrong way: it's a Sam Browne with an E, and apparently there's a controversy over whether or not you Yanks invented it http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-uniforms/sam_browne.htm- dr greg
