    Tips for removing make-up from veg tanned horse?

    Vintage Suitings: Discussions of, and sourcing modern equivalents, etc.

    Those weight numbers are really just used as a guideline, for IRL they don't properly convey the handle or feel of the cloth in regard to thickness. If you had the opportunity to peruse a stack of thirty different bolts of flannels of the same approximate weight this would become apparent. I...

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    Uninformed as usual. If you had visited their Chicago store this fall, as I did, you would have seen a dozen different styles of dress boots. Different last as well. They even had some chisel toe models. That wasn't happening ten years ago. You obviously feel the need to constantly bash AE but...

    does Food still taste the same as back in 1900 - 1920? or 1930's?

    As we age, our sense of taste/smell declines so even if we were to eat grandma's pie today it wouldn't taste as good as when we were young. Generally speaking of course.

    Vintage Suitings: Discussions of, and sourcing modern equivalents, etc.

    Not HBK here...... but I have a few pairs of flannels that heavy and I can't wear them at temps above 50F or so and they get very warm in the overheated indoors of today. But then I run a bit warm so YMMV.

    New lining fabric for a Harris Tweed jacket?

    In the 70s I had a tweed suit made by my grandfather's/father's tailor in Galway (my GF's home town). It had a full cotton lining, jacket and trousers both. I remember the jacket being a bit difficult to put on due to the cotton lined sleeves catching on my cotton shirtsleeves. I recall asking...

    British Racing Green + tan leather interior = Classic. I've had three cars with that color scheme, all British made.

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    AE have really upped their game. I recall be skeptical a few years ago when their new CEO promised as much and darned if he didn't follow through.

    Yep, everything has a provenance. Sadly, in most cases it gets lost along the way.

    the hat friendly world

    I've visited Portland four times over the years, maybe twenty days total. Never saw the sun. Lack of sunlight is such a quality of life issue for me and it can't be mitigated by any amount of beer or coffee. Nice place to visit though.:)

    You know you are getting old when:

    When my dad was getting up in years his answer to a specific question about his age would invariably be, " Let me put it this way, I don’t buy green bananas anymore."

    does Food still taste the same as back in 1900 - 1920? or 1930's?

    Over the years my vegetable and produce sources have been a mix of garden grown, farm fresh and store bought. Frankly, it pretty much all tastes the same to me with the glaring exception of tomatoes.

    Factors/Considerations

    My chief concern would be the maker. I want to know everything about them, their history and their product. My leather maker of choice is family owned and operated for over 175 years. They began with equestrian leather goods (harnesses, bridles, saddles and such) before making their first...

    What does the term Roller Hat mean?

    The felt used for rollers doesn't have as much stiffener as the felt used for regular hats. Therefore they don't hold their shape as well, particularly if you roll them often. To shape the hat, dampen the felt with water using a spray bottle with a fine mist, manipulate the felt to the desired...
