    Counting Your Change...

    Got a 1889 indian head penny in my change from CVS last month. I had the munchies so I popped in to grab a bag of chips.

    wrongly placed pocket on my Highwayman!

    FS - Optimo Montecristi 7 3/8

    Cream wool flannel suit (British 1930s?)

    Cream wool flannel suit (British 1930s?)

    You know you are getting old when:

    I've been playing pick-up basketball from childhood and since uniforms aren't worn and names are often unknown, physical characteristcs or playing style are used in reference to players.

    Full Grain v. Top Grain

    I would tend to agree. In my experience with tailors and shoemakers, I find the Italians to be the most grandiloquent and the British to be the least, with the French falling somewhere in between. Generally speaking of course.
