    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    The pipes I've been smoking recently are my two Missouri Meerschaums and Captain Black. I can only smoke outside or in my smithy, and it's too cold to sit outside and enjoy one of my briars or calabashes and a nice tobacco. The cobs I'm not worried about banging up. I had an old briar I used...

    The Vintage Tailoring Thread

    I added a belt and action back, and pleated the pockets, but I'm going for a particular style. You should know that the pattern runs a little large, the chest measurement on the 38 was 43", which is quite a bit of ease but the pattern has extra ease under the armscye from the underarm dart not...

    FS: BSA campaign hat, 7 1/4

    I got this campaign hat when I was a youth, but my head never quite made it to 7 1/4, so I'd like to sell this one. Good condition, rarely used, a small spot on the back of the crown which may clean up (I haven't tried.) $60 + shipping. These are almost $100 new these days!
