    Current USAF Issue A-2s

    That's a really nice A-2, TheBeak! It does look like it fits, not too baggy or tight. This is definitely one of the better fitting modern A-2 jackets I've seen. Is Cooper still a good quality company, and are they particularly expensive?

    Show Us Your Handwriting - Vintage Penmanship!

    Unfortunately, with regard to this, I'm a product of my own generation. I can't actually claim too much of a know-how when it comes to handwriting. It doesn't help that I'm already very busy going on with my college studies, but I intend to tie up this one loose end sometime, and improve. I...

    Could you survive?

    If I were dropped into the year 1937, I'd just be another young man in the midst of the Great Depression, who happens to have knowledge of the occurrence of World War II. I'm not sure in what ways I could benefit from that, though. I'd most likely be drafted into the armed forces, and I would...

    About the jeans: I own only one pair, but I happen to be wearing that single pair about three to four days a week., washed once a month. I do wear chinos on other days, though. What I don't own: Twitter account Hoodie jacket TV set (used to have one, then it was taken from me) Laptop (I just...

    Is this a bad idea?

    Thank you for your opinions. I didn't think that this jacket would be all that impressive, and it doesn't specify the type of leather used. But as I've said, this was meant to be a gift if I received particularly good grades on an exam. It looks like I really blew it this time, despite the exam...

    Last WWI Combat Veteran Dies

    R.I.P. Claude Choules. I'm sure that this is a man who must have served his country well, and deserved his honor for it. It is almost difficult to fathom the death of the last World War I veteran, though. They are now gone, unless perhaps, there is somewhere a participant that is not known...

    Is this a bad idea?

    Hmm, yeah, I just read that, thanks. I think this style of jacket is something I'd be comfortable wearing a tie with, too. Not that I do it too often, but there are days that I do sometimes.

    Is this a bad idea?

    Tomorrow, I may have an opportunity to purchase something as a gift, on behalf of my parents. It could be something pretty big like a new hat (well, not too pricy anyway), or another leather jacket (I only own one, Sporty's G-1). I'm leaning towards another jacket for some reason. I don't want...

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    In my opinion, the only three tuxedo colors worth considering are the basic black, navy, or maybe a white or off-white dinner jacket with black trousers. That's all I believe to be presentable in any occasion a tuxedo is required, or appreciated. Anything else is just the by-product of some...

    What are you wearing today??

    What I wore on this hot day: dark blue Levi's 505, oxford shoes, a Van Heusen dress shirt, and my vintage Stetson. It got up to 85 degrees, but I was still OK with felt! After my last class, an older lady, a professor I believe, told me that I was dressed very well. That was nice. In between...

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    Maybe this is a bit different, it does seem to be a similar idea behind that, but at the risk of being ridiculous, I was initially into the fedora style of hat because of it's gangster, tough guy associations. The Mafia, and all... Of course, the detectives and lawmen assigned to bring them...

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    Perhaps not exactly, but I've always thought that you sort of resembled Humphrey Bogart, Mario. The stance, the shadow... these pictures you posted definitely have that look.

    Hair cuts

    Sure, I'm thinking maybe this summer, I'll allow it to grow like that, and cut where necessary. I think having somewhat longer hair is more practical for me, as I don't exactly have the commitment it takes to maintain a short back and sides cut all the time. I go to get my hair cut every three...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I think you're seeing the difference between American and British hat sizing, there... I'm not sure how to explain it, but if you're 7 3/8 in the U.S. for example, you're 7 1/4 in British sizing. Correct me, someone, if I'm wrong about it.

    songs that make you shiver/cry

    Amazing Grace has long been my favorite gospel song, and it is actually a very moving piece in many renditions of it. However, my favorite version of Amazing Grace is the one sung by Elvis Presley: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3XdXEJEI4E My heart swells with feelings of both joy, and...

    The Mummy clothes

    I'm not sure if this has been addressed in the same thread before, but is Rick O'Connell's jacket in The Mummy 3 supposed to be a U.S. B-3 jacket? Does anybody know a manufacturer that offers the same color tones as his in the movie? Most I see are generally darker than that.

    Hair cuts

    Alright, thanks for the input. Even my dad said he liked it too, later in the day. He must have noticed something different going on. It seems that the amount of Royal Crown I used was just enough to hold it in place, and my hair did not look particularly greasy either, just a bit shiny. I'm...

    I'm pretty sure regular oval is the standard everywhere. It's even harder to come across long oval or wide oval and such.

    Hair cuts

    OK, so does the middle parted style look decent this way, or is it no good? I used Royal Crown Pomade, but not too much. Just a dab as Yeps suggested. To get a similar look of the pictures I posted of Presley and Depp, I've got to grow my hair down longer.

    the morning routine

    8:20 AM: Wake up, and choose what to wear for the day. 8:30 AM: I'm already starting my shower. 8:45 AM: Brushing my teeth, getting dressed, and fixing my hair. Perhaps I'll have enough time to have one piece of toast for breakfast, or a bowl of oatmeal. 9:00 AM: My grandfather picks me up to...
