That pic was taken in Co Clare - Ireland. We just came out of Ailwee Cave. -
adventurebilt advice
I too have an Adventurebilt. I needed a brown hat that would put up with day-to-day wear, in all sorts of climates. I am very, very happy with it. Here are some pics: It is a tough hat, very well made and it looks great. I asked that Steve put an Indy-esque block to it... -
Funky old suit
Thanks Salv for the advice... Febreeze? Hmmm... I'll ask Mrs. Matei to pick some up while she is out and about. I thought that the dry cleaning would've done the trick - but I admin that I don't know all that much about the process. -
Funky old suit
I recently purchased a '50s vintage suit off of eBay. It arrived in good condition, but with a problem. It smelled of old funk. Imagine an old basement or attic - a deep-seated, musty funk. I brought it to the dry cleaners, and they initially balked at cleaning it. However, in the end... -

The American Way
Hmmm... this is an interesting statement. In a country that prides itself on democracy and freedom of speech, many times any alternate point of view or dissent is discouraged. That is a shame, as the country itself was born of an alternate point of view. If the founding fathers toed the...- matei

Is my avatar "dodgy"? (i.e. "shady", "seedy", "questionable")
Who - me? ;) Nah, yer avatar is grand. If you were wearing a Burberry baseball cap, with a velour tracksuit and some thick gold chains - then we'd be talking dodgy. Dodge City. :p- matei

The American Way
Very interesting thread... I usually avoid such threads, but this time I will chime in with my .02 pence. For me, the US is a fun place to visit (it is also a hassle thanks to immigration and DHS, but I won't go into that). There are lots of things to see and do, and the people are very...- matei

The American Way
This is what I like about the lounge... ... this is a pretty divided subject, and there has been some spirited back and forth - but so far everyone has been civil and mature. :eusa_clap Hopefully it will stay that way! (touch wood)- matei

Duxford - thanks Paddy
Hey all, I didn't get to meet up with anyone else there. If any present on Sunday saw a guy with a brown fedora and his wife gabbing together in Romanian - that was us! ;) The Staggerwing was sweet, I wouldn't mind having one meself! It was something else to see the Spitfires come... -
French coach in World Cup
Domenech was rather stylish - didja see his specs? :offtopic: It is a shame that yer man made a comment to Zizou at the very end. If someone would've made a comment about me mum (as is rumoured to have happened) I probably would've done the same. In any event, the Italians looked better...- matei

Career changes, anyone? Stories, Advice, whatever...
Ahhh... Physicians Assistant - interesting! Good luck! It sounds like a good idea, and you would be helping people who really need it. I.T. can be really unfulfilling...- matei

Nice suit Salv! I remember it from the event, it made an impression! -

A big thanks to Paddy who arranged for my wife and I to attend the Duxford Flying Legends airshow this year. Paddy - you are a class act! We had a wonderful time, thanks again! :eusa_clap I'll post some pics soon - there are quite a few to go through! The show itself was great... -

Vintage SB suit pics?
Preferrably peaked, but notched would be OK as well - save that they're not the wee ones that are in style today! -
Career changes, anyone? Stories, Advice, whatever...
Cousing Hepcat, My wife recently changed fields. She basically realised that she wasn't happy where she was, and that life is too short to do something 8 hours a day that you don't like! She took some time to step back and think, long and hard, about what she liked. From there, she...- matei

Vintage SB suit pics?
Hello all... I got hold of some nice grey wool material yesterday, and I'll be off to me tailor in about 3 weeks to have another suit and some trousers made. Would anyone happen to have any pics of a vintage, single-breasted suit that I could reference? I've used the search function and... -

Fair play to those who take the chance and go for a career change. :eusa_clap It is never too late, you only live once and if you don't risk - you don't win. Cliches, sure - but they are true.- matei
