    Another eBay find... That I didn't buy.

    I was pondering the purchase of this eBay vintage jacket. The reason I DIDN'T buy it was because the sleeves were too short. After looking at the final sale price, I don't feel too bad. I'm saving up for an Aero, so any other random purchases will delay my goal. Still, it was a nice looking...

    Help me order the perfect A2 from Aero !

    I'm looking forward first to Gancho's photos, then yours! I've never been a huge fan A2s, but with all this talk, they're starting to grow on me!

    Schott 689H After Break-In

    Alright. I'll be the first one to tackle this. If I understand you correctly, your main complaint here is against the use of the term "luftwaffe," which translated from German, is a generic term for "air force." While both the German language and an air force were used by the Nazis, neither...

    Vanson Help

    This is not a competition? Peacout, didn't I just read you ordered a Good Wear in January? One a month? At this rate, how can the rest of us ever hope to catch up?

    Alden All Weather Walking Shoes...

    Alden Shoes at J. Crew I'd be curious to get others' opinions, too. These are a new offering from J. Crew for $450: They're selling Blundstones and Levi's, too!

    Vintage tableware

    Metlox/Vernon Della Robbia We had this pattern growing up. I think my mom might still have a box full of it in the basement. Now that I think of it, I'm not sure I ever really liked it! :) Supposedly it was in production from 1965 to 1986. We had the 1965 version, and the hand-painted...

    Vintage tableware

    Google Products Thanks, Foofoogal! Perhaps I'll just have to start saving up my nickels and go back to Paris... Maybe I'll get lucky and that little store will still have some in stock!

    Vintage tableware

    French Flatware dhermann1: You certainly picked a rare pattern! I was going to suggest replacements.com, but they don't even have your pattern listed. Even on eBay right now, there's only one item listed in your pattern. Good luck! Sorry I couldn't help! I'm back in this thread to ask...

    Aero on eBay: Do these measurements seem right?

    The wrap up I made an offer that was turned down... Some other lucky guy (with longer arms, hopefully) snatched it up. I guessed that modifying the arms would cost about $50-$100, and so my final savings would have only been around $100. And really, when we're talking about an item in this...

    Aero on eBay: Do these measurements seem right?

    Still thinking... I measured another slightly looser-fitting jacket, and you're right, Peacoat, I think everything but the sleeves *might* be OK. So the next question: Should I consider getting the sleeves hemmed? At the current asking price, we're talking about $200 less than retail...

    Aero on eBay: Do these measurements seem right?

    If it sounds to good to be true... I was so excited to find EXACTLY what I was looking for, but the measurements are way off. This does answer the question of why someone's trying to get rid of a new jacket, though. The lister will allow a return (for a 10% fee, which isn't quite so bad...

    Aero on eBay: Do these measurements seem right?

    There's a size 40 vintage FQHH long half belt for sale on eBay: The Listing The listed measurements are: shoulders 19.5", armpits 24", sleeve 27", length 29.5" I've double checked the measurements on my other size 40 jackets, and this seems a bit on the big side, especially the 24"...

    Help me find a light fixture...

    Places I've already looked... Thanks for the suggestion! I was hoping to find an exact match to the fixture in the program. Restoration Hardware is a great source, though, and I was lucky enough to find a couple fixtures at their Michigan clearance center. Schoolhouse Electric is also...

    Help me find a light fixture...

    I'm restoring a 1927 Tudor, and I'm always in search for the perfect lighting fixture. I saw this one on "The Big Bang Theory." It's white milk glass in almost a tear-drop shape, with a cinched bronze band. If you know where I can find a similar one, please let me know! If you...

    The "Pleasing Phrase" Thread

    My more polished grandma referred to the bathroom as the "lavatory," or "lav," for short. My less polished grandma was fond of the phrase, "You think your s**t don't stink?" And my grandpa used the phrase, "Awe, he s**ts and wipes, just like the rest of us." That same grandpa would address...
