    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    Cuban Cigar or London Tobacconist Recommendation? I find myself in London over the holidays. Can anyone recommend a tobacconist who could be trusted to recommend a Cuban cigar worth purchasing? Got a favorite cigar to recommend? Keep in mind I'm a cheapskate when it comes to cigars...

    Aero Bootlegger, with buttons?

    How do those Barnstormer coats work?

    Paul's Hat Works

    I think you'll find that most custom hatters have at least some vintage ribbon. Check out Art Fawcett's limited editions. Odds are very good Mike gets his felt from the same supplier, too. There is nothing in the materials to justify the price. BTW, while it is true that Mike's store...

    The Vintage Camera Club Thread

    Bourbon Guy- Thanks so much for the references. Leicanthrope- As soon as I get a few moments, I'll do more reading on Rangefinderforum. I see I have another project... :rolleyes:

    Does Anyone Drink Rye Whiskey?

    I have been enjoying Sazerac and Punt E Mes manhattans (with orange bitters) for a while now. Thanks for the suggestion. An excellent vermouth. Now I'm out of Sazerac, but happily have restocked on Rittenhouse 100 (with a bit of Buffalo Trace bourbon bridging the gap). Life is good...

    Question for Bourbon-ites: Eagle Rare Substitute?

    This thread scared me so much I grabbed a bottle of Eagle Rare to go with the four bottles of Rittenhouse 100 I picked up last night...

    The Vintage Camera Club Thread

    Heh. Well it was my father's camera and did not work most of his life. The actual problem is lost to the mists of time. But it doesn't appear to cock and snap a picture. Where the problem lays, no one knows. It was a running family joke that some day the Leica would work again...

    The Vintage Camera Club Thread

    Thanks! I'll check out the range finder forum. If you can recommend someone reliable for this repair I'd appreciate it. I take it the IIIf is worth repairing? BTW, is it interesting enough to be worth posting a picture or have you guys seen enough of these?

    When did you first...

    Apologies for the tangent, but I have never heard the phrase "Coffee Bar Cowboy". I take it this is English slang for what we call in the US a "biker" with all the rough connotations. But what is the derivation of the term. Coffee bar? To answer the question... unfortunately quality...

    Western, anyone?

    Which is good news for the gators I saw in the Louisiana swamps. Those nutria move FAST... or else. Not that the web site helps much, but as I recall, Optimo offers some nutria blend felts. So someone still makes them. Probably not of the same caliber, however. And 7 1/4 is just too...

    Fur felt types?

    Another good reason to buy vintage. Would it bother you less if the felt was made (and the animal killed) long before you were born? It exists, and there's not much you or I can do about it. If keeping those vintage hats in circulation prevents you or someone else from buying a new fur...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Larry, your location says San Francisco, but that sure looks like North Berkeley. That is a ribbon for the ages! Where's your dog's hat?

    Western, anyone?

    I'd take a nutria, Nutria Quality, or Clear Nutria hat over just about any beaver hat I've ever had. This is partly because they aren't made anymore, partly because they are amazingly strong felt. Not a dress hat, but a classy hat that will serve you for a very long time in any...

    LUFTWAFFE FLiES: LEWiS LEATHERS 'DOMiNATOR' Review

    Thanks for the explanations, boys. Knew I could learn something here. I wasn't thinking this morning or I wouldn't have opened the "nazi clothing" can of worms. Hey, I have a Hugo Boss blazer... I guess the Hartmann style is the vintage jacket you posted? I like that old fashioned...

    LUFTWAFFE FLiES: LEWiS LEATHERS 'DOMiNATOR' Review

    Nice jacket. But it doesn't seem much like the vintage jacket you posted as a real luftwaffe jacket? Pockets are different, no epaulettes, different color, snap vs. buckle at the bottom of the zipper, etc. Did you post the Highwayman you had customized? It would be very interesting to...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    Ouch, that's pricey. But thanks. They are located in my town, so maybe I should drop by and see what they have. Thanks!

    Looking at half-belts

    If your jacket size is much larger or smaller than a 44, I suggest contacting Good Wear before deciding to wait. It is not yet available in a range of sizes.

    The Spanish Civil War

    Can't believe I missed this thread till now. Trying to catch up... First, SC, thanks so much for sharing your views. I lived in Spain in 1980-1981. I met a great many people glad to share their views and in many cases their experiences in the Spanish Civil War, or as many call it, The...
