Oh, one I almost forgot about was my Pop's Eterna-Matic watch. He bought it over in Germany when he was stationed over there in 1951-53. That was the watch that go me on the quest for a good automatic watch. It needs a little cleaning & service but it still runs great.

My daily wearer is an Elgin automatic. Picked it up on ebay about two years ago from a seller in Brazil. It is circa 1958 judging by the serial numbers and keeps fantastic time.
I have a couple of Bulova automatics and a Longines automatic, which I think keeps the best time ever. It is about...

Leather sole and all. I remember that my Pop used to wear these all the time.
Once a year got a new pair at Charles shoes in San Luis Obispo.

Well, I got to see it this weekend in 3D and rather enjoyed it. I loved the parallels in characters between her own land & Wonderland that are foreshadowed. Once Alice was in wonderland it moved quite briskly. I think the distjoined nature of the film reflects the disjionted nature of Wonderland...
First off sweet shoes, very nice indeed. Now for the squeak. I use a dab of Pecards leather dressing in between the two layers of leather you've described on my Aldens. It alleviates the squeak for some time. Basically lubricates the area. after a while they don't squeak anymore. But during...
I think you could get away with just about anything in earth tones. You could probably even make a nice casual look with blue jeans & a nice blue or green button down. The combinations are endless.

I'll post some real pics when it comes in. It reminded me of some coats that...
You could try & find a coat like this one that Dr. Steel has.
These gloves too.
I think they are more of a vinal instead of a cloth though.

With the exception of the foorwear, Johnny Depp pulls off the "Bold Look" nicely.
He had a blue one that looked super, and from what I understand they are vintage suits. Lucky dog.

Does anyone have a Hercules coat similar to what Chris Cooper wore in Seabiscuit?
Sort of looks like a double breasted number similar to a Pea Coat.
Cheers!
Dan
Hey Magnoli, how easy would it be to have something like this one Chris Cooper is wearing in this shot?
I've been hunting around for something similar to no avail.
Cheers!

Don't forget to get a shemagh for head & neck protection in the sun. It's a great multi use product & you can pick one up at Blackhawk or for that matter your local Army/Navy surplus store.
It'll keep the sun off your head when hot out & rolled up will act as a scarf and do a bang up job of...
Wow! The leather looks a lot like a buffalo hid that I have. Looks very well constructed too. Also, appears that you have everything in it's place for travel. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers!

Any other folks have their favorite Dopp kit? Be it a new item or vintage please share. Allllso, share your favorite memories of you Dads kit. Like Dixon, my Pop used to keep his kit on the back of the toilet & it always with him whenever we traveled on vacations. It is still in fantastic shape...
