    Who else makes/repairs/paints jackets? Show Pics!

    The leather jacket was done on a Husqvarna, but it really struggled. With the Deckard coat most of the work is done on an old Montgomery Ward Model E , probably about the same age as your industrial machine. For the button holes I borrowed the Husqvarna again. The lower Halloween coat was...

    Who else makes/repairs/paints jackets? Show Pics!

    This is based on Deckard's coat from Blade Runner. I lengthened it because we get wind with rain here and a regular trench coat left the back of my calves wet. I started this during my brief stint in the SCA. I still need to line it and I want to add two more fasteners. I made this...

    Barbour: waxed thread for hood-sewing? Or rivets?

    If you go the DIY route and cannot locate Barbour thread, you may want to check at a shop like Tandy Leather for waxed thread, though I don't know if they carry natural fiber thread or a thin enough thread for your needs. You can also buy beeswax and wax any thread you like.

    Bike to Work Khakis

    One thing to consider is how many times you can wash them before the illuminNITE wears out. I cannot find any info on the webpage for the pants or the fabric about the number of wash cycles you get out of the material.

    Good vintage shops in Austin, TX?

    There should be a few shops on South Congress Ave. You'll get a great view of the Capitol too!

    What color ink do I need?

    The 1922 Emily Post does not seem to care about ink color, but does warn not to use pencil for correspondence unless the situation requires it (on a train, or flat on your back sick). The choice of paper seems to be of far greater importance, as is having matching paper and envelopes. The...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Show us your TIES

    My quest for a matte black tie was completed recently when I picked up a lot of black ties (still need to clean the previous owner's pet hair off them). I could use some help dating them. Also, has anyone ever seen a "button down tie" like the first one before? It is an interesting solution...

    Another Ebay question: Damaged in shipment

    As it sounds as it was improperly packed, Greyhound is not liable even if you still had packaging. Your only remaining recourse is if you paid by paypal. You could file a claim stating the item arrived damaged due to improper packaging. One option to consider is if the marble can be...

    Another Ebay question: Damaged in shipment

    For something that heavy, I would imagine UPS or FedEx would be used rather than USPS. In that case it should have some insurance included in the shipping. We need some more info: What shipping method was used? Did you pay for insurance? Did you pay via PayPal?
