    Remember that "barn find" car thread I posted?

    A recluse or a car thief? I'd check the registrations on those cars jut in case. But what a find! Such an eclectic collection. You wouldn't have to sell 'em off, just rent 'em to movie studios. You could populate an entire 1960s period street scene with what's in there.

    I bought Something Vintage! -Updated with new stuff.-

    Excellent, Hemingway! Regarding the piquet vest, mine is backless and it bows out when I sit down. I don't know if it's because it's a cheap vest or because of my build, but I suspect a full vest would work better on me. If in your search for a non-buckle white bow tie, you come across...

    HAT ADORNMENTS: ribbons, bows, pins, pugs, leather, etc.

    That's it for now. I'd love a Spitfire pin but I doubt I'd ever find one.

    1911 Niagara Falls, New York

    Slowly I turned around... Wow. Amazing picture.

    Foyle's War UK WW II period police drama

    I've liked Michael Kitchen's work in the past. I'll take a look at this series as it's available on Netflix.

    Covering A Song During the 20's, 30's, 40, and 50's

    I once compiled a playlist of every version of "Harlem Nocturne" on Rhapsody. Maybe 20 or 30 versions, from the familiar to twangy country. It was fun to listen to.

    Bowler

    Well, everybody else calls me that. :) Welcome aboard! I started wearing a suit to work when the weather got cold, and now I don't know what I'll do when it gets hot again. I may end up having a linen or cotton suit made for the 100+ degree days we get in the San Fernando Valley. Maybe...

    BATTLE OF BRITAIN (1940) - Respecting THE FEW.

    What a wonderfully subtle example of British understatement and of the famous "Stiff upper lip." It only reinforces my great respect for those who lived in those trying times. Good show!

    BATTLE OF BRITAIN (1940) - Respecting THE FEW.

    Thanks! One wonders where all those machine gun bullets ended up from those dogfights over populated areas, not to mention shot-down airplanes and parts.

    Monocles.

    I'd recommend that movie, too. (not just for monocles) Jimmy Cagney is great in it. Ya know, I need reading glasses, I may just get a monocle for that. Easier to store than regular reading glasses and more stylish than bifocals. ;)

    Monocles.

    My life's goal is to be that guy. ;)

    Monocles.

    The only person I ever knew who needed only one lens was my father, who lost the sight in one eye (and all of his hearing) in a motorcycle accident in 1925. His younger brother tried to talk him into wearing a monocle, but alas wasn't successful.

    Bowler

    I'm so known as the guy with the hats at my job, I probably could wear a tricorne and not raise an eyebrow.

    Monocles.

    Quick technical question: Is the monocle worn over the dominant eye? How is it looking through one if both eyes need correction?

    How to tie a bow tie.

    Is a narrower bowtie easier to tie? My white piquet tie is almost cartoon-ishly wide, and it was a nightmare to tie, and it only looked barely passable the two times I wore it in public. The white ties I see in the 1930s movies seem narrower than mine as well.

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    Oh, and trust me, don't be part of a group of guys in suits and fedoras around drunk women. Particularly not at the Observation Bar on the Queen Mary during a ghost hunter convention. lol lol lol I've only gotten the Blues Brothers comment when I wear my black suit, black stingy, skinny...

    Just bought my first iron

    Great fun, wasn't it? I got to fly a Stinson L-5 and to ride in one of the FAA's DC-3s and a DeHavilland Canada Beaver. I'll have to take up flying again when I lose some poundage.

    "Piece of Cake"

    It's out on DVD now. Pretty darn good, but then again, seeing four Spitfires flying is always good.

    For the smokers in the lounge

    Yes, little bits of it. I usually use a holder. When not using a holder, I have to make sure my lips aren't wet or little bits of paper will stick to them. I finally saw "Sunset Blvd" last night. Norma Desmond's holder/clip thingie seems like a great idea for keeping the ciggy smell off...
