    How we dress and what we drive

    I have a Land Rover - Disco II which pretty much gives me license to wear whatever I want. It goes from black tie at the opera friday night to shooting tweeds on saturday morning. It is also a fine match with safari gear which is my summer look. As far as vintage, I think that the Disco has...

    how do you store your braces & spats?

    I hang my braces with my belts. Some of my older ones now have a little "stretched out" spot where they hang on the hook in the center back, so that's probably not the best way. I have two dressers, so in the top drawer of one I keep my socks and the top drawer of the other I keep accessories...

    Any Marching Band Geeks Here?

    I played trombone in my high school band then went on to get a degree in music education and performance. I played professionally for a while and spend eight years in the army band. Now that I'm an officer in the Navy I don't play much anymore. I do miss it and am thinking of forming a Big...

    Just a random poem

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    WARNING I was in Dillard's yesterday and saw a very nice Norfolk/Safari style jacket in brown corduroy by Ralph Lauren. It looked great on the hanger, but when I tried it on the fit was horrible! The armholes are much too low and it's just very uncomfortable. If you see it try it on for...
