    Lesser Known Sartorial Inspirations

    Now that is a look I will keep in mind for this winter!

    1920s Vintage 'Oh My God' Suit

    I agree. Mercy, what a suit!

    Show us your Guns!

    Both Ruger and Smith & Wesson double action revolvers are highly thought and deservedly so. Dan Wesson is another good brand.

    Tom Selleck

    Most likely. In that day I don't think anyone had thought up the idea of using white reflectors to lighten up faces under hat brims. He was probably depending on the sun and knew that if they left their hats down, no one would recognize them.

    Classic Safari vehicles!

    Kampala, Uganda, eh? Are you a private citizen there or do you do safari outfitting? I don't know anyone who has been to Uganda since Idi Amin stole the country.

    Classic Safari vehicles!

    Nice truck, Phil. Tell me, do you work out of Mozambique or Tanzania? The forest around the Volvo looks an awful lot like the Zambezi delta where I've hunted a couple of times.

    Officerbob, I'm a sucker for both K frame Smiths and Colt Pythons or Military & Police. Nice ones.

    Oh, that would be so cool!!! I love the manservant with the tarboosh.

    Overcoat Question

    The whole point to wool as winter wear (says the Sarge who never really experiences winter except by accident!) is that it is hollow and remains warm even when soaked clear through. This is not necessarily good news, of course. Who wants an overcoat that allows your business suit to get...

    Hudson's Bay point blanket coats

    I made a capote out of a red blanket back in grad school for an American Indian Art lab. It has no buttons but I did put beadwork strips around the cuffs and capping the sleeves. After looking at these pictures, I think I'll go looking for someone to put double-breasted buttons and button...

    Orvis Wax Cotton Anorak

    Hey, it's been relisted! And since we're having a thunderstorm in Southern California right now it looks very appealing. Fortunately, I have another Barbour I can wear the grocery store this morning. However, this morning's dog walk has definitely been cancelled. :rolleyes:

    Orvis Wax Cotton Anorak

    Man, that looks like some serious duck-huntin' clothes! As to other waxed cotton anoraks, I remember Barbour offering one back in the day but I don't see it in their current collection. Here's another, if you insist on black.

    3-Piece Seersucker Question

    I agree. In sultry Florida a seersucker probably would work year round, except for those weird years when it snows but I'd leave the vest in the closet from may to October. The suit itself is beautifully neutral so you could get several odd vests made. If this is for business, I'd go for a...

    Vintage Spectator Shoes

    So, is the Rand shoe still being made by someone or was that a vintage find?

    Classic Safari vehicles!

    And they have more than one! What fun, though at a prohibitive price, unfortunately. I need to fit that into one of my Steampunk erotic fantasy stories somehow. Thanx!

    Coming this fall: ABC's "Pan Am" -- "Mad Men" in the skies?

    The Army flew me a little during the late 60's and early 70's. It was fun. There was one flight from LAX to Sea-Tac where the stews deliberately tried to get the entire detachment drunk, even going so far as to raid the first class cabin for the remainder of their wine. It worked, too...

    Vintage Banana Republic safari jackets

    For genuine, working safari gear today the place is http://www.tagsafari.com/. The clothing is made in Africa by Africans to stand up to the rigors of safari laundries (boiling water and wood-heated irons). And they are the only place I know that carries the old style cavalry pith helmets, too.

    Show us your Guns!

    Damn straight! The days when you could get a first class Argentine action for $45 are long gone. They simply aren't on the market anymore except for rare single offerings on the gun auction sites and then they cost nearly as much as a new built custom action.

    Vintage Shorts

    I understand that in Australia it was the fashion, as well, at least at one time.
