    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Thanks, mayserwegener. I remember my father used to wear a Homburg when I was a kid in the late 50s/early 60s. Nice to own one from that period.

    Source for Goat Leather

    And are we happy about that! (One of my uncles in the resistance was shot, another one incarcerated for 4 years. But that was by the bad Germans :( ). And we still respect the high quality of German products :) When the jacket is finished, I will absolutely post pictures. Probably in early fall.

    Cortina - Cappelli Sportivo, Italy

    Thanks for the input, besdor. A little correction concerning the age: the city's name change took place in 1930, not 1939. SteveAS As long as I have the pictures I am not emotionally attached to this hat. (And I believe my wife will be happy to know that I am not also starting to collect...

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    After some testing I believe this is a "anti bouncing" device. Very handy when I have to run to catch the bus! The backpack conversion idea is interesting, but the original shoulder strap is much too short for this. Thank you for the ideas :)

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    Swiss Army - Corporal's Leather Bag Got this bag off eBay a few weeks ago. It's rather small, 24x17x6 cm, but it's just what I need when my shoulder hurts too much for carrying a heavier bag. Very thick leather and sturdy construction. Very Swiss Army :) . The lid has a small pocket for pens...
