    Band collar shirts???

    ^ Very nice shirt, Dinerman. Is that a Ralph Lauren Polo 'Postboy'? I got one of those a little while ago. Its a little short in the arms on me, but I love the look.

    songs that make you shiver/cry

    "Shivers" - Either the original Nick Cave/Boys Next Door version or the nearly impossible to find Marie Hoy version.

    CONTEST: MEN ONLY: Free Framed Gee-Bee Z Airplane

    Thank you Sachet - some photos are self explanatory, and some are not - That photo is much cherished by me as are the memories of that day. I too would love to hear some of the tales behind the great shots shown here. Its hard to have a photo of a FL member and a vintage plane or vintage...

    That's pretty much what I was aiming for there! I wasn't too sure how common the term Copper was in this day and age, South of the 49th. There is a nice vintage ring to it , and it is what I am though, and is one of my favourite ways to describe what I do for a living. Thanks...

    What are you wearing today??

    Great photos! That looks like a bottle of Maudite you have there - I am not normally a fan of the ales of Quebec, but that one I make an exception for.

    "The Gunner" from Kakaduimport?

    I just picked up some stuff from Kakadu - the Nelson Jacket, the oilskin cargo trousers, and a shoulder bag. I think that it is of pretty good quality for the money. I have a Belstaff Trialmaster and although I give the quality nod to it over the Nelson 'replica', the oilskin seems to be...

    CONTEST: MEN ONLY: Free Framed Gee-Bee Z Airplane

    Brilliant photo Smithy! That just about nails it - not just the kit and the car, but the attitude and the whole look.

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Though I cannot really offer any decent tips on rolling riding jackets or dusters, I have just picked up some Kakadu stuff that I quite like. I noticed on there that they make a specific oilskin bag for their dusters and riding jackets. It looks like it would be perfect for strapping down to a...

    CONTEST: MEN ONLY: Free Framed Gee-Bee Z Airplane

    This is my avatar photo, enlarged. Taken in New Zealand at the Old Mandeville Airfield near Gore, South Island, as I was about to embark upon my first hour of flight training in a restored Tiger Moth. It was the most extraordinary flying experience of my life; better even than my first...

    What Are You Reading

    I loved The Master and Margarita as well. It was a nice surprise to see you mention it here; It is not a book that comes up in conversation often. I do regret that my Russian was never good enough to take in the originals of works like this.

    I haven't any decent vintage shots of myself at the moment, so I was a little reluctant to post a photo, but here goes nevertheless... I was wearing a vintage-style Belstaff Trialmaster, but on account of the warm day I took it off when I got off the bike. Now that the worst of winter...

    Vintage Homage in Today's Casual Office

    I got an interesting taste of the power of clothing (combined with demeanor as well) this past year when I had to throw away every part of my -admittedly modest- sense of style for a few weeks. A change of work duties found myself stop shaving, and sometimes even stop brushing my hair. I wore...

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    The 8" Insulated Danner Acadia is the finest boot I have ever worn. I wore one pair on patrol for nearly 5 years, just resoling them once per year. Even years later they are still waterproof, and amazingly enough, still on the original pair of laces.

    The Evening Tipple...

    Tonight's after dinner drink was a glass of wine - an '04 Spanish Garnacha called Castillo de Monseran. A friend had recommended it, and I couldn't wait to crack a bottle after buying a couple this afternoon. Well worth not waiting for! It is a gorgeous wine, and spectacular value to boot...

    RUM?!

    I was not much of a rum fan, I confess, until a trip to Belize a few years ago. There is a local coconut rum, rather like the Whalers, but somehow 'fresher' tasting that is just incredible. It is made by a company called Travellers and is just called Tropical Coconut Rum. The locals will hack...

    Out of the Humidor: The sad demise of pipe smoking

    My grandfather smoked Falcons for many years but prior had to get family in England to buy him replacement bowls. I know that they are not at all popular in this neck of the woods. I talked my local pipe shop into bringing in a couple for me, and a number of others decided to get some as well. I...
