    Kilts

    Unfortunately the place where I bought mine no longer offers them. But they used tartan wool from this manufacturer(who also make bespoke kilts): http://www.lochcarron.com/ I'm guessing they're not cheap, but I'm also guessing they're one of the best.

    crosley radios

    If you're concerned about having the best sound, they're not for you. I have a Crosley 50's style radio with a cassette player that I bought new about 10 years ago, and I have had a similar Crosley record/Cd player as those shown above that I got new as a gift two years ago. Neither...

    Universal Apology to Bald Men

    I shaved my head bald at a young age knowing that sooner or later i'd go bald. I figured that way I'd be used to it and never feel bad about it later. It has worked fine...I haven't had more than a millimeter or two of hair in over a decade and I have absolutely NO shame in being bald...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    No worries, Creeping Past. You didn't offend me, it takes a lot to offend me. I'd just hate to be thought of as a xenophobe when that isn't the case in the least bit. Sometimes quality can be judged somewhat on point of origin, and I think that modern American boots and leather jackets...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    You asked for opinions, and then lecture when answered? :eusa_doh: My response is DIRECTLY related to the products you are are asking about, and have nothing to do with politics. I have owned USA made Chippewa and imported Chippewa. The USA Chippewas were better made. I have seen and...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Wescos are among the best made. They are VERY pricy, but you get what you pay for. All made in the USA. Chippewas are a great boot, especially for the money. They have begun to contract overseas for some of their boots, so make sure you get a pair that is made in the USA...they are much...

    Help buying a pea coat online

    Actually, the sizing on the 740 is in Chest Size, not Small, Medium, Large, etc. So you will be doing yourself a favor by making sure you get the correct size and having them help you order the correct size. They also sell a "Long" version if you're taller than average. They are VERY helpful...

    Help buying a pea coat online

    I can't comment on the Sterlingwear or the Fidelity, but I love my Schott 740 What exactly do you mean by "real thing"? Schott produced Peacoats for the US Navy during WWII. They claim they still make them to those specs. How more "real" can you get? As a matter of fact, they still...

    The Joys of JURY DUTY!

    I have been called twice, and was chosen once. The case was dismissed before we got to trial. I am often surprised by the disdain and/or apathy about jury duty. I look at it much like voting: Many people have and are giving their lives so that I have the right and privilege to be able...

    Why is the Bum Look Popular? (formally the unemployed look)

    What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing? -Can't you tell that your tie's too wide? Maybe I should buy some old tab collars? -Welcome back to the age of jive. Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey? You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of money. Everybody's talkin'...

    Favorite Christmas movies

    Oh wow, I forgot about that one! great movie, I need to watch that again. I saw the Deniro/Penn movie of the same name and thought it was a remake. When I saw the 1955 version, I was PLEASANTLY surprised.

    Dr Martens

    I've never been a fan of the yellow stitching and yellowish soles, especially on the darker boots. I have a pair of Gripfast (made by TUK) rangers that have black soles and white stitching, but their soles are much more rugged than the DMs (of course not as comfortable or "bouncy, either...
