    Modern Products with Vintage Style Packaging

    Thanks for reminding me about baking powder Lady Day! It turned up a few more items. The corn starch would look more vintage without the no mess label. The McCann's is a metal container with a metal press-fit lid. Also, I did a bit of research and it seems all products in the Clabber...

    Modern Products with Vintage Style Packaging

    Grandpa's soap used to come in a vintage looking package. Williams soap has slightly modernized, but still has a vintage look. The older package had a round circle for writing the price or applying a price tag.

    Bolo Ties-- Acceptable Alternative or Novelty Oddity?

    I tend to agree they are fine as long as the dress code is not semi-formal or formal. My grandfather wore them frequently, but I grew up in the southwest so I may not fit the demographic you are querying. :offtopic: They also look better when people know what they are. I went to an...

    "Web" style buckles....replacement belts?

    Have you looked at a fabric shop for the webbing? I think JoAnn carries 1" cotton webbing. For the end, maybe use fraycheck or some type of washable fabric glue and cover it with a thin leather like pigskin?

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    I just got this. One of the lugs is broken, so I am going to get a fabric strap for it and sew the side with the broken lug down.

    Wearing a wristwatch with pocketwatch

    Perhaps a pass-through pocket? Though it could defeat wearing an overcoat if not very carefully designed. It could work if you kept your watch in the watch pocket in your pants. If you keep it in your waistcoat I am not sure what to do. A slash pocket would be too high, and the typical outer...

    Rain hat/bucket hat ?

    If you want fabric, there are several styles of hat made in oilskin/oil cloth by a variety of manufacturers. I personally use my wool fedora, as it is the only full brim hat I own that I would wear out. It worked quite well in London.

    Cost Of A Haircut

    Free. I went crazy a few months ago and decided to go the DIY route, applying what I had learned after years of observing people cut my hair.

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    I made this bag, the mounting points, swivels, and the slide. I soldered all the connections to prevent them from sliding off the bag the way the commercial products will. The bag is based on the French bag used in The Ninth Gate.

    Art Nouveau Loft Bed?

    Thank you for the book recommendations. These are the two I have been using, as well as a guide to the Musee d'Orsay and some photos from there, as well as other photos from the internet. It looks like I have an earlier edition of Art Nouveau: Utopia: Reconciling the Irreconcilable, and...

    Art Nouveau Loft Bed?

    I am planning to loft my bed, and I would like to do more than just bolt together some lumber. Does anyone have photos of, or know of a good source for photos of large scale Art Nouveau furniture? I have been looking for a while now and have not seen anything that I think I can make work.

    What Happens to Old Towns?

    Back when I lived in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, the cities seemed to preserve at least a part of the old town. Carrollton has one http://www.olddowntowncarrollton.com/ and Coppell had a historic district when I lived there, and hopefully still does.

    Life On Mars

    It's pretty good, but I like the original better. On the other hand, I have no plans to stop watching, so they must be doing something right.
