    Winter Snow Boots

    Type I Service Shoes with leggings it is then. ;) Realistically, probably Maine Hunting Shoes. -Dave

    Winter Snow Boots

    Can anyone tell me how the late-war double-buckle combat boots fare in the snow? When worn with wool socks, of course. -Dave

    Clayton, You cleared up a lot of confusion for me with just that post. Thanks! I'll probably PM you as I have more questions. -Dave

    Bend at the knee, not at the back? ;) Thanks for the feedback, fellas. -Dave

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    Very true. Further, I read once that something like 90% of vehicles that have their engines removed never see the road again. I do love those D24s and their P15 brothers. -Dave

    Reproduction classic workwear

    I’ve recently started wearing suspenders again. The clip-on kind look a little goofy to my eye, so as the weather warms up and I can no longer keep them hidden, I’ll be wanting to pick up some of the button-on kind. Dressy styles are easy to find, but for workwear, I figure I’ll have to go...

    Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps

    Thanks for the dimensional advice. My “daily driver” fedora is a Fed IV Deluxe with an (open) crown height of 5 5/8, so I’m pretty comfortable with tall crowns. Sounds like 3 1/4 is probably a good minimum, and up to 4 worthy of consideration. If you’ve ever been to The Last Best West’s...

    Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps

    Well, I got outbid on the Stratton. I'm wondering now if I should just keep an eye peeled for an inexpensive cowboy hat to put a bronco-buster montana peak into. -Dave

    What are you wearing today??

    I think you look great, but I'm not sure about the Taft comparison. You look more businesslike than the President. Not to mention about twenty years more modern! -Dave

    R.I.P. Inventor of Colt .45

    The demise of the medium-sized brewery is a tragedy. More so that even when their famous brands live on, the recipies are often changed by their new owners to have broader appeal. I applaud the micro breweries who take up the old recipies (when they can) so that locals can taste what their...

    Misconceptions of World War II

    Actually, in the United States we swear to support and defend the Constitution and to obey the orders of the President. That's not supposed to be a distinction without a difference. Everybody keeps talking about 1938, but what about the re-militarization of the Rhineland in 1936? My...

    Bow Ties

    Shades of Burns Bannion, who wore a bow tie for the same reason most police uniforms now use a clip-on necktie - it can't be used to grab you. -Dave

    Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps

    Darn. I already bid on a Stratton. Oh well, if I win, it will be cheap enough and I can use it for other outdoorsy pursuits. If I don't, perhaps I'll have to commission Major Moore to do an homage to the bash in the Frederic Remington Bronco Buster sculpture in the form of an 1883-pattern...

    Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps

    One more question (sorry). Has anyone checked out this $298 Nutria M1911 from What Price Glory? I read earlier in the thread that there were no good 1911 replicas on the market, and I'm wondering if this is one. -Dave

    Misconceptions of World War II

    Off the top of my head? That U.S. anti-communism was already going full bore by the end of the war. My understanding is that it took a few years to really ramp up, and that initially we were more concerned with self-determination for those liberated from the Axis (much like Wilson's concerns...

    Show us your Guns!

    What's the affordable lever-action then? I was thinking Winchester '92, but it appears that would limit a guy to only shooting B Western (if I'm reading the SASS rules correctly). There's a part of me that thinks it would be cool to gear up with Colt 1851s and a Henry instead of the standard...

    Question for the brotherhood of shootists: Who makes the most affordable Winchester ‘73 replica? Yeah, I’m daydreaming again about getting into CAS... :rolleyes: -Dave

    Right. In all seriousness though, you look great. -Dave
