    This is great! I can't believe that a place like this still exists.

    Auction of 'Hitler' watercolours

    Had he been admitted at the Vienna school of architecture, history would have been changed. Anyway, there are legitimate heirs. Read the story of William Patrick Hitler: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Hitler

    Suspected FL member sighted in Copenhagen(to be confirmed.)

    I'm not him, it wasn't me. I was never in Copenhagen, and I am not there. Not me.

    Hats of the 30's

    The hat type that is most popular today is without a doubt the snap brim fedora. However, when looking at Esquire illustrations, I realized that there were many other popular hat types, which have mostly dissapeared today. Take for example two hats that I like very much, and I can't find them...

    Glove-Quest has ended

    I found the perfect place for gloves:http://www.chesterjefferies.co.uk/index.htm It's an English manufacturing company. The site doesn't say much, but if you e-mail them your address, they will send you a brochure, and you can have any gloves you can dream of custom-made for you. They even...

    SBPL Harris Tweed Suit from J Press

    A spectacular suit from J Press. It's a 2-button, light brown herringbone Harris Tweed with slanted pockets, a ticket pocket and peaked lapels. The lapels are great, because they are wide and balanced. At first, I thought it was a sportscoat, but when I received the catalogue, I realized it's...

    Hideki Okisaka: Master '30s tailor !

    I like everything I see. Although the lapel is straight, the point of the lapel is rounded, not pointed. I especially like the natural width of the shoulders, and the roping. The angular, dramatic lines are very typical of the 30's, very art-deco looking. The alpaca wool lining is great too...

    Where were you on 9/11/2001?

    I was home having tea, when I heard on the radio that there'd been an accident, a plane had flown into a building. I went downstairs and turned on CNN, saw smoke coming out of the building, only to see minutes later a plane hitting the other building. My first thaught was that it was a replay...

    The covert coat...

    That jacket was in the catalogue last season. It's suede. It will surely show up discounted on the site, just be patient. Their leather jackets are interesting; this season there is a longer one in the catalogue, with big pockets with scalloped flaps, that looks very good. I saw it in the...

    Chesterfield for a tuxedo

    A navy blue or dark grey with velvet collar is better for a toxedo. I have a navy blue chesterfield with a velvet collar from Pakeman, and I like it very much. It seems from the web site that they only do a plain collar this season, but you can always ask them, usually they're very flexible.

    The Victory of Communism!

    The New Deal and FDR were far from being communist. At times, social reforms are needed, and the fact that they benefit the working classes does not make them communist. First secretary K, my answer is no, and that was the point of my starting this thread. I was amazed that someone could be...

    The Victory of Communism!

    I can't get over this "they chose to" argument, the more I think of it, the more mad it gets me. You can't say that the population chose not to evacuate, chose to live there, and chose not to stock supplies, and therefore it's their own fault. Choices are not that easy to make, and are not...

    The Victory of Communism!

    This thread has gone way beyond the original topic, and it's become very interesting. After reading the last few pages, I was surprised to see that some are of the opinion that the victims of Katrina chose their fate and what happened to them is their own fault. That is plain stupid, and I...

    The Victory of Communism!

    The situation of the poor in Chile is unaceptable, and the same situation occurs pretty much in all developing countries, and also in former communist countries. I think this system is called "savage capitalism", i. e. a capitalist system similar to what the industrialized nations had in the 19...

    The Victory of Communism!

    It is true that workers of the industrialized nations in the late 19th century had a very hard and unfair life, and they paid a heavy price in blood for the reforms they got, such as the 8-hour workday. I think it's coming back, at least some aspects of it, under different disguises, such as...

    The Victory of Communism!

    Yes! I totally agree with this, and take it further, on 2 different levels. First, the phenomenon is global, not just American. Second, after the middle-class, followed the upper class and even royalty; look at Prince William, for example, proudly wearing proletarian attire and following...

    The Victory of Communism!

    Well, well, well. I guess that the inhabitants of the above-mentioned countries must be reactionary fools, Stalinist hacks, etc., because they do consider their countries to be or to have been communist. And, no, I didn't put the question personally to all of them. Maybe there is a...

    The Victory of Communism!

    You look at communism from an academic point of view, not from an everyday's person point of view. From an academic point of view, there is the planned economy, the state-owned business. But the worker at the bottom does not see any of this, he just sees that the lawyer and the doctor live in...
