    The New National Museum of the Marine Corps

    I've got to stop... ...somtime. I'm always going past it on my way to Fort Fumble. I remember when they were building it, I'd see it from I-95 and say: "what the hell is that?"

    Something I've noticed

    My dad... ...was in the Army for 26 years. I've never seen him in person or in pictures wear a civilian hat, except a base ball hat or staw hat working in the garden.

    Felt hats in summer..

    The difference... ...for me between a fur felt fedora and a straw is the difference between stifling and just hot. Marc C had a thread on ventilating fur felts. He'd done a pretty good job of it. Wearing no hat is worse - I went for a short walk the other day and the sun was very...

    Straw Hat Day

    Seeing as... ...we spend plenty of time here discussing the merits of wearing hats at all, does it really matter? In April/May I begin to wear straws as based on the weather that day. Over 80=Straw.

    Irrational hatred of hats

    Well... ...it sort of depends on who doesn't like the hat. If we're talking comments from strangers, there's another thread for that. I think what we're talking about here are close friends, significant others, wifes, parents, etc. The issue is that they don't want to be seen with someone...

    How to calculate the cost of things in the Golden Era

    I read... ...an article a few years ago on this that explained the changing ratio between things. They used the example of a string quartet playing for an hour. That would be four labor hours in the 1700s. It would take a shoe maker several labor hours to make a pair of shoes. Fast...

    Bad Table Manners

    Marc... ...insist your daughter practice good table manners as early as she is able to understand. It's not negotiable. My daughter is ten and she has very good table manners. Both my wife and I enforce it. We set the table with a full set of flatware even if we don't intend to use a...

    Show us your suits

    A new... ...non vintage suit I got recently on-line. Being 6'4", hunting vintage is pretty much a waste of time for me. On the good side, I was able to buy two pair of pants with it. Generally I wear sportcoats to work, so this is to wear just for fun.

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I'm... ...lucky. My "vintage" is really only coat and tie with a fedora. I have never had anyone say anything bad. As I said in another thread, a nine or ten year old friend of my daughter asked why I was dressed like Abraham Lincoln (in a Federation). That's as close a it gets to negative...
