pollux (who uses castor oil to bring life back to old leather?)
I read recently that castor oil was good for leather lounges, so I bought some and applied it to the stiff-as-a-board old jacket I got last week (see thread below), the effect has been dramatic, I'd always used neatsfoot oil for such work but I was also recently told by a saddler that it rots...- dr greg

look what I found
? What a silly question! :) I'm back down to one after moths got to my 3-piece blue pinstripe, but I'm out hunting a replacement. The other is a bottle green single breasted probably 50's. It goes well with my black 100% Cashmere Overcoat, but not with the Navy Aquascutum trenchcoat...which...- dr greg

The Spanish Civil War
a different generation indeed As someone who remembers the activism of the 60's and the early 70's compared to today's apparently unconcerned youth, I really admire those who actually went and fought in Spain. It's worth remembering that although most went to support the Republic, plenty of... -

WARNING! Controversial poll ahead,...
think about it I have only one thing to say on this subject, so look away ladies as I point out that if some supernatural being designed humans in his own image, then why are the reproductive organs of the male hanging dangerously exposed OUTSIDE the body, where they can be damaged or removed...- dr greg

Call of Cthulhu, low budget version
true Re animator was good as I recall, but I wonder if it's dated now..I watched Return of the Living Dead the other night, its clothes etc are really naff now but it still stands the test of time for my money...very funny, verging on classic.- dr greg

The American Way
the way home I visited the US many years ago, and without rambling, the thing that struck me was the ignorance of people, and I mean that in the strict sense. Everyone I met was polite to a fault and very helpful, (except in the backwoods of Alabama I hitch-hiked thru) but many seemed to know...- dr greg

Never! That one is roughly a 42 and fits me well, and as I told the story in another thread, I found it stiff as a board and white with mould and restored it, adding WW2 Australian Army buttons, it's a bit fragile though as the tear you can see repaired on one pocket was done by me merely...- dr greg

Found this on Feebay for 25 bux, best condition coat of its vintage (late 40's?) I've ever seen, all the lining is good as new, which is rare, and it's a tight fit but still OK. I have three other Oregon brand coats, and this is a welcome addition note the side buckle..pretty eh?- dr greg
