    The Big Christmas Can of Worms

    My all-time favorite band is X. They use X as shorthand for "Christ". The female singer, Exene Cervenka, was originally named Christine.

    Space heaters.

    The guitars were my roomate's. Only one person in our entire building had renter's insurance (the actress Amy Carlson from "Law and Order"). Everybody else was ass-out as our cheapskate landlord's insurance only covered the repairs of the building. I spoke to a lawyer about recouping my losses...

    Space heaters.

    I was re-reading my post and realized I had calculated the months wrong. It was twenty months ago, not fifteen.

    Space heaters.

    Man that thing gives me the shakes. My former roomate had a GE space heater VERY similar to the one pictured, perhaps the same model, in what seemed to be fine working order. He used it regularly to my dismay. Fifteen months and sixteen days ago it shorted out and then set our ground floor...

    Dress Scarves

    Edward Fox rules. What a great film DAY OF THE JACKAL is. And that crazy gun... Oh yes, rayon scarves are quite nice as well.

    Since this is supposedly the right place to say it

    My friend Yojiro does not like being called a Jap but oddly is not offended by Nip. He regularly refers to me as Honky tho I prefer Cracker. I am not making this up.

    Vintage baseball cap.What team ????

    I've been a customer of Cooperstown Ballcap Co. for several years. They are the real deal. 100% wool flannel, perfect period patterns, hand embroidered emblems, and HORSEHIDE sweatbands. The craftsmanship on these caps are so damn old-fangled and cool. The inner crown taping contains hemp twine...

    Poll - How old...?

    I recently purchased a small apartment here in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The building was erected way back in 1827.

    Better fit

    Regarding what Matt and Martin were discussing about A-2 a few posts back, my recently acquired Buzz Rickson's Rough Wear is patterned WAY more authenically than any Eastman or even Aero I've owned. The armholes are extremely high and quite narrow, the torso is snug without being constricting...

    Superman Returns

    Superman Stuporman. Eh, he's alright but... Hopefully some visionary genius will make a 40's era film about the greatest superherp of the golden age, C.C. Beck's Captain Marvel (who actually outsold Superman for a deceny chunk of rhe 40's). Unfortuately the Cap'n been all but forgotten for...

    Belts and Belt Buckles

    Yo FT! All of my books are packed for my big five block move next week (fingers crossed, closing on a small condo on Tuesday), but I'll scan the photo when it's all over and settled.

    Belts and Belt Buckles

    I have a book of old Daily News photograph. In it is a photograph from 1938 two teenage boys hanging out at a taxi dance hall. Both wear their belts buckle-on-the-side. Both of their belts are jeweled and studded as well. This was a popular style for motorcyclists (and aspiring motorcyclists) of...

    WWI Aviator Look

    Type A-1 jacket (woolen or leather) or Barstormer coat, moleskin or duck breehes, silk scarf, googles, leather puttees, low quarter boots.

    My Next Jacket?

    Have owned both. Personally I like the regular halfbelt better for more of a simple late 20's to early 40's look. The long halfbelt was more common from the early 40's and to the early 60's and just never looked quite as compact or neat to me. With their exagerrated length and extra pockets...

    Got Genealogy?

    A few years ago it became clear to my sister that she was eligible for DAR membership (my paternal grandmother Virginia was a long time member). My father fowarded me a copy of our family tree that was to be submitted with the application. When I came across the familiar name Howard Robard...

    Who Are Your Style Icons?

    I'd go about ten years further back in time. The 1950s brought dungarees to the fore. City school officials didn't like jeans, but "juvenile delinquents" (or were they "greaser hoodlums"?) wore them anyway. So did bikers, motorhead WWII vets with wanderlust and a taste for combat adrenaline...

    Who Are Your Style Icons?

    I see your point, tho I don't entirely agree with you. Looking at "golden era" photographs (or Victorian photographs for that matter) of big cities you'll seen plenty of folks young and old in functional sporting or work clothing as everyday wear. Obviously I don't mean photos of the Stork Club...
