    From The Mail: SS Uniforms Cause Stir at Dambusters Event.

    Back in the mid-1980's our Confederate Infantry was working on the manual of arms when the groom and his groomsmen came around the apartment complex where we were practicing. They were all black, and we were all in Confederate uniform. They asked if this was x apartment complex, we said no and...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi I just started boycotting Mr. Busch for dropping out of the NRA. They're also pretty lax with the old German Beer Purity Laws. Later

    What's for Dinner?

    Hi V. C. I'm not sure because they came from Yoder KS, which is an Amish Community, BUTTTTT they drove their pickup trucks so I'm really not sure.

    What's for Dinner?

    Hi I love real butter with a baguette. I don't much like Lard though. I had a Cherry pie, made by a Semi-Amish group (don't remember which group now), they made it with a lard crust (top and bottom). It kind of tasted like steak juice and cherry pie. Two great tastes that taste great...

    Does Anyone Drink Rye Whiskey?

    Hi Bob I'll look at Jacob's in Wichita this weekend. Nice that they don't have to close on Sundays and Holidays anymore. Is there a certain brand of Absinthe I should be buying to be TRULY authentic? Are there any brands to avoid? I think I'll get some of the Herbsaint anyway. Later

    Not an SS comment, but um, North Korea's only war has been in a "Truce" for roughly 60 years. Those Generals wearing the 5 pounds of medals are probably younger than 70 (probably about 50 actually). They must give the big Medals for writing a report with a black pen and a different big Medal...

    Premature burial that causes you the most pain....

    Hi Charlie Sheen wasn't acting in 2.5 men, but I could have watched him be Charlie Sheen / Harper until he was 80. He's just a goof. M*A*S*H may have last longer in minutes that the actual Korean War did, haven't done the math though. I do miss Married with Children. Kelly should have...

    Help With Custom Hat Order

    Hi Since one of your friends is making this hat, I strongly suggest that you have the brim made originally to 2 3/4 inch with a 5 3/4 to 6 inch crown. I really think 5 3/4 though since someone mentioned you have a smaller hat size. A teardrop crease will take up more crown space than a...

    Bush Jackets

    Hi They're authentic WW2 sizing, so if you want to fit a gut, you might email them or ask about it. I wear a 48 Long suit coat and my 50L Bush Jacket is a little tight. I never liked the belt hat well, mine is in the pocket. Later

    Wow, the New Jersey State Police are Starship Troopers. I guess that in a way, the Nazi uniform isn't that much different that a 1920 and 1930 period Police Uniform. The German Police were incorporated into the SS sometime well before the war started so that makes some sense (odd for the...

    Hi again Is this the list of stuff that is still around to see? I certainly wasn't aware of much besides Buchenwald and Auschwitz. Thanks

    Hey, the Nazi's had what are arguably the absolute BEST looking uniforms in history, especially the Black uniform. It even looked good on fat 50 year old bureaucrats. You may not LIKE that, but there it is. The Nazi Party including the SS was also one of the worst, most evil, strangest...

    Bush Jackets

    Hi I own the WPG model, and it's tan, but not green at all. It does have a HINT of orange in a way, but it's TAN, very, very TAN. Later

    Hi I'm a history buff and the local Civil war group was the 9th Texas. I used to run with them after attending Lincolnwood High School, touring Lincoln's home, tomb, and New Salem. You DO identify with the group, but not the SS group (Let's all go out and gas a few) or Confederate (we need...

    Hi I'm sorry, but Heinrich Himmler carrying a pop can is funny. I don't know, but If I looked like that with a mustache, I MIGHT feel constrained to do the Heinrich thing for Halloween. I was at a gun show about ten years ago with a friend who father was also a WW2 vet. There was a Luftwaffe...

    AAF Shoulder Decal. To apply a meatball or not?

    Hi There's stuff called Fray Check, sold in Hancock Fabrics etc that does the same thing. I'm betting super glue works better on a Bullion patch though. I put Fray check on my Gold / black campaign hat cord, the first one I bought years ago frayed and unwound in less than 24 hours of wear...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Congratulations Alex. Microbiology is a pretty good field. Keep working on getting a job and getting a PhD, something will work out. At least get whatever advanced degree you're after before kids. It's hard to study and coach PeeWee baseball. Later

    The Preppy Handbook... Returns!

    Hah, If I can find it at home I'll take a picture. I owned a semi-Madras looking sport coat. It was a Stanley Blacker plaid sportcoat regularly $140 marked down to $25.00. It matched EVERY solid color known to man. Great coat. I wore it to work one day (I bought it for Halloween), and one...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi The CHEAPEST decent beer at the Cellar last week was a 30 pack of Pabst for under $17.00. Since Augie Busch quit the NRA I'm boycotting them anyway. I also bought a six of Oklahoma pale ale but I haven't cracked one open yet. No, I'm NOT hipstering James. I also bought a bottle of...
