    Has anyone read his work? I'm thinking of starting one of his novels: what would you recommend and why?

    Shave of the Day

    Where do you all pick up Proraso products from? They used to be sold at Super Target, but not anymore. Since I haven't found Proraso, I use Bigelow and Co. which is made by Proraso (so maybe it's the same ingredient?). In any case, where can I get Proraso in the mid-west? Thanks!

    "Good" Movie

    Has anyone seen "Good"? It never came to the theaters around here, and my local--amazingly equipped--independent film store can't order it. Anyone seen it or know how to see it? http://goodthemovie.com/

    Old Thread on Living Vintage

    No suggestions? I though someone would have linked the thread immediately. It had something to do with the extent to which members keep a vintage lifestyle--I wish I could be more specific. Does anyone recall something like this?

    Custom Hide briefcases

    Thanks for the update. I'm thinking of doing something with the lock option--can you use a different lock--or at least does the lock have to be locked?

    Custom Hide briefcases

    Thanks for the response--I'd really appreciate if you posted the picture. I looking at a brown bag, and I'm wondering if the grain will look like it does in the web photo. The tan color seems to have a muted hue. In any case, I'd like to see what one looks like in person. Thanks!

    Let's show off some vintage instruments!

    I have this jazz kit that is a reproduction of Gretsch's famous 60's era round badge drums: http://www.gretschdrums.com/?fa=120th I also have a 60's era original Gretsch kit (with a 20" instead of 18" bass drum), but I'm saving to recover them. I've been playing drums since I was 3--23...

    Watch Recommendation

    I like to hear fellow Loungers recommendations on what watch they like best. I'm on the market for a mesh band watch. I currently have a round face watch whose band is part mesh and part chain, so I'm leaning toward the rectangular face (and I also like that style a lot, finding it more vintage...

    Custom Hide briefcases

    Thanks. The "scholar" looks like the leather is soft and a smooth grain. Compare it to the 1945 briefcase, the latter looks grainy, which I like, but am unsure if it is a computer generated picture or an actual model they made.

    Vintage Sationery

    This site has some very nice close-up shots of an old stationery store. You can click the photos to enlarge them. I wish I knew what all that inventory was. http://www.ameshistoricalsociety.org/exhibits/tribune/09/wf_0903b.htm

    Vintage Sationery

    Thanks! So, the ubiquitous legal pad wouldn't have been that popular, and most people were writing on blank paper? Interesting. Was this paper like typing paper or of a different quality?

    Vintage Sationery

    what brands would people have used?

    Vintage Sationery

    It's hard to believe Moleskine, Crane, and Original Crown Mill were used for common note taking purposes, as Moleskine's paper is very thin and all three are rather pricey. Would legal pads or blank writing paper have been more common?

    Vintage Sationery

    I'd like to know what kind of stationery was popular in the 40's. What did students and writers use: legal pads, blank? What brands were most common, and what notebooks were most often used? I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks!
