    Do you see a time when you stop wearing vintage?

    Hi Marc Both my grandfather(s) and my father wore their clothing until it was worn out. Style doesn't seem to bother us much, just gut size. If those guys who bought vintage from you are the same size as when they purchased the last piece, they're probably still wearing it. Dry cleaned wool...

    Books about WW2 from a German perspective

    Hi You should do a search on "German Homefront" on Amazon, there are ten or so books that might interest you. If you search for "Woman in Berlin" you'll find one on 1000 year old woman in Berlin also. It looks good too. Later

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Hi I watched the Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers with Raquel Welch and Michael York with my 24 year old son this weekend. Both use a lot of scenes from the book. You could make 10 movies from that book and not duplicate much. later

    when do you guys wear a panama?

    Hi Just to be formal, Felt hat day (drop the straws and grab the bunny fur) is September 15th in the USA. Straw Hat day (sometimes called Boater Day) is May 14th or 15th. PERSONALLY I try to keep with the formal dates, but I did let Felt Hat day slip since it was still in the 90's here in...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Hi I have two Fedoras that have soft brims, and one with a snap brim. I put lay them on top of my shoe boxes in the closet. Since I can snap the brims up and down, I'm not worried about screwing up the brim shape. I have a couple of cowboy hats that I leave in one of my two Hammer Plastics...

    Newbie on Fedoras.. are these good options to buy?

    Hi I currently own a black Fur Felt Fedora, a Brown Stetson Temple Fur Felt Fedora, and a Charcoal Grey Beaver felt fedora. Look upon buying your first hat as an experiment (a destructive test if you will). You will pick the hat you like best having not worn hats before. This will be a...

    Paul Newman's war Service

    Hi In spite of being one of the biggest supporters of our military, and famous for his portrayals of military men, John Wayne is NOT a veteran. At the beginning of WW2, John Wayne was at the beginning of stardom. The various studios kept him out of the draft and he was scared into not...

    Homeschool! (and other "vintage" values)

    Hi In my experience as a 4H leader and Boy Scout Leader, I've been around a few home schooled types. I've had one who was "home schooled" because he was too much of a pain in the butt to be in school. He more or less left school in eighth grade. The other ones are generally much better...

    Books about WW2 from a German perspective

    Hi These three books aren't home front, but all three do mention a little about it. Sajer was home on leave once in 3-4 years. Voss was only in the Waffen-SS for a few years, being younger if I remember correctly. Knappe was wounded and recuperating back in Germany a couple of times. "the...

    Is it rude/inconsiderate to wear red to a wedding?

    Hi I think it's probably o.k. for the ladies to wear a red dress for a wedding, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want a guy wearing a bright red suit to my wedding, truly disgusting colored tuxes are reserved for the groomsmen... :D

    Looking for the benefit of your experience --- Fed IV or Campdraft?

    Hi IFFFFF you become a serious hat wearer, you'll want at least 4 hats: 1. One to wear with black and navy blue; 2. One to wear with Earth tones; 3. Nice Summer hat; and 4. Sweat stained Summer hat. Don't buy all at once. Don't buy a wool hat, they shrink in the rain. Don't buy a...

    Vintage smelling aftershaves/EDT's...your fav...

    Hi Is either Halston Z-14, or 1-12 have a vintage type smell? I haven't had Z-14 for years, and I thought it smelled a little like stale beer, but I haven't tried the 1-12. Thanks

    The perfect hat

    Hi Disgustingly obvious plug for Tumwater hats: You mean like this Dark Gray (Charcoal) hat? TonyB is a member here, and that hat cost me $300.00. 5.75 inch crown, haven't measured it as creased, 2.75 inch brim, 100% beaver fur felt. Later

    9mm or 45cal

    Hi Several of the guys I shoot with carry Firestars (I think) and several others have those Hi-Points. There's have all worked fine (so far). I'll note that you do usually get our money's worth. I liked FreightPilot's article on concealed carry. He's right, you can drop anybody with...

    Falcon Park Hattery

    Hi If memory serves, most of the Granite blanks are a little on the brown side and are not totally gray. This is one reason I picked Charcoal instead of granite. Silverbelly is a tan and has a slight pink cast in some light. Granite is a darker Silverbelly in some ways. It would be great if...
