    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Thanks James I just called home to check on the maraschino cherry supply, I have the other ingredients. So, what's Creme Yvette? I found some info on their website, intense berry taste with botanicals. Sort of a berry flavored Gin liquor. Later

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi Finally, a vintage mixed drink without Vermouth. It turns out that I HATE Vermouth, AND from a couple of vintage bartender's guides, a lot of vintage drinks contain it (Vermouth). I was in Jacob's Liquor replenishing my supply of Rye (Overholdt, the cheap stuff) and the checkout girl asked...

    HAT LIFE WESTERN ISSUE March 1956

    Hi Mr. Barrow i picked this post to respond to, but it could have been a lot of them. My Dad purchased a stingy brimmed hat at some point before 1968 or so. His Mother-In-Law said it looked stupid, so he quit wearing hats. Dad had a round face (Otto Von Bismark look) and the stingy brim...

    Hat shops in LA area

    Hi You might search through this: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?31181-Hat-Stores-a-list but there isn't much in LA. If I get to LA again, I'll have to go to Baron hats, but I won't buy anything. They're HIGH. Later

    The devolution of our society through fashion in just two pictures.

    HI Tom About 12 years ago, I was in one of the more expensive Wichita restaurants. I think it was our anniversary, but we went out pretty early say 5:30 PM. There was a bad 45 / good 60 year old guy setting the bar on the way in, drinking his post lawn mowing single malt scotch. He was...

    Wool Felt and Fur Felt in the Rain

    Hi I HAD a pretty cool British Bush hat reproduction from WW2 (What Price Glory), and I suppose I got my $65 out of it. I wore it in the rain one afternoon and now it's too small to wear. I've haven't gotten my newer Fedora's that wet, but it will eventually happen, especially the one Tony...

    Reading on paper or screen

    Hi I don't know about the Kindle fire, but the wife has the Barnes and Nobel version, colored tablet. The battery life of the color systems is substantially less than the black and white versions. Color = 8 hours (wife's experience), black and white = a month supposedly... I read something a...

    Show us your Guns!

    Hi I really like that Hi-Power. The last one I looked at was at the Chisholm Trail Antique Gun Club show in Wichita about 3 years ago. It was a new French Hi-Power, and it had been stored in a box of large rocks in the back of a pickup truck for about a hear. There were small dents about...

    John Wayne's Akubra?

    Hi I'm working today and tomorrow, so I'll be hard pressed for good pictures. The back of the diamond has less "C" shape in the back and is more of an equal sided diamond now. I have to be put the stampede string in. I had Brian put in the big holes so I could use the leather stampede string...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    James, isn't a Twinkie basically a filled pound cake? I eat them occasionally, but I like the chocolate cupcakes better. They had deep fried Twinkies at the Kansas State fair, and they weren't worth the money but I did learn a valuable lesson. Putting Smucker's blueberry pancake syrup on a...

    The Moustache

    Hi Do a search on Snidley Whiplash, then maybe you'll see why they don't like it. I get static if I let mine get too long. I own Moustache wax that has never been opened. later

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Buy twinkies for Armageddon. They aren't great fresh, but after years in the baggie, they're still worth eating. It's all of the chemicals. Later

    SERRATELLI???

    Hi I searched on Serratelli Cattleman and found regular looking 4 inch brim, 4.5 inch crown hats. I found the Serratelli company sight and found that they are a semi-custom hat shop. Pick an x count, a size, and a shape, they'll send it...

    Original liquor offered with flavoring agents.

    Hi I'm against food items and drinks that are something, and try to taste like something else. I'm against Taco Pizza, Cherry Bourbon, Vanilla Vodka, and Tabasco Southern Comfort. If I want Southern Comfort with Tabasco in it, I can buy both and get it as hot as I'd like. Later

    Show us your vintage home!

    Hi Tony Wheel chair accessible homes are also refrigerator, freezer, gun safe, king sized bed, and hide-a-bed couch accessible. I also want those hospital sized doors on the rooms for the same reason. Carrying a hide-a-bed couch up stairs around a corner is not an experience I plan on...

    when you dress in Vintage do you also think & act, talk like they did from the era?

    Hi I'm half way through Raymond Chandler's "The Simple Art of Murder" and based no his portrayal of Los Angeles in the 1930's, they have period slang, period manners and etiquette, but MORALS??? I know it's a detective NOVEL, but no one in the book has morals and I"m about half way through...
