    An elusive detail of early 1900s mens fashion

    Good on yez! And, if you do, I hope you'll show us the results, as worn and with the vest opened up so we can see the inside.... "Skeet"

    An elusive detail of early 1900s mens fashion

    Good point. And I assure you--it's not because I'm a great fan of the current President, by any means! It is the office, or position, that should be respected. I am very grateful to our colleague Evan for his knowledge and very generous assistance; but I am sure he would agree that gentlemen...

    USAuthentic Goatskin A-2, XXL, worn twice

    Sounds good so far.... Dear Tangerine, As much as one can tell, that seems like it might work for me. I'd like to see the pictures; so let's take this off-the-board. You can send them to me at finiancircle [you know what goes here] mac [you know what goes here] com. Let's hope it fits...

    Dear HP, My pleasure! So glad you're pleased. Send a picture of the pot and the results, why don't you? Next, you'll be having pie for breakfast.... "Skeet"

    An elusive detail of early 1900s mens fashion

    Dear Evan, Thank you for taking the time to write out such a good description, which is certainly very easy to follow. I always like to examine original garments whenever possible, however...as the devil is in the details, and many things which "they" did as a matter of course don't naturally...

    An elusive detail of early 1900s mens fashion

    I'll second that. Does anyone have one of these in their collection who could give us a few images of the "working details"? "Skeet"

    USAuthentic Goatskin A-2, XXL, worn twice

    I'd be interested in those measurements, for one, and pictures: if, by chance, it should fit....consider this a "dibs"; as you can't PM yet, I guess we'll have to do it right here. Sort of like the transparent fitting-room.... "Skeet"

    Show us your Guns!

    You'll be wanting something OTHER than a single-shot then; Skeet requires you to shoot doubles. I wouldn't doubt you might appreciate a second shot on ducks, either....for waterfowl: definitely 12g. For Skeet....anything you like. "Skeet"

    Show us your Guns!

    Ugartechea.... Dear Alexi, While, as the dollar has plummeted, the price has risen: the Spanish guns by Ugartechea currently imported by Lion Country Supply are the best you will get, new, for the money....and besides being one of the last places in the world where guns are still made by...

    Recipes from Old New-England

    Durgin-Park Injun Pud...again, and better, I think In the wind-up to Thanksgiving, our small local paper printed an unascribed "Durgin Park Indian Pudding" recipe...which strikes me as better than that I referenced before, in terms of being more traditional....in a number of ways: It cooks VERY...

    What Are You Reading

    Dear Wally, Well....let's start at the start! You can't beat the Bible. I speak as a believing Christian...but whether you are or not, the simple fact is--even though our society is trying to deep-six it as much as possible--Christmas IS a Christian holiday; to have any appreciation of it on a...

    Recipes from Old New-England

    You may be a crypto-New-Englander.... Or at least you seem to be well on your way.... ;) Ummmm....we don't call them "grits" up here...."indian" or "corn meal"...but, of course...it's the same stuff. Durgin-Park has the iconic Injun Pud in our neck of the woods; here's the recipe...

    Recipes from Old New-England

    Bean Pots Galore.... Not so hard as you'd think. Up here, you can find old ones pretty easily; less so in your neck of the woods, I'd imagine. First up: Tourist ware, which JUST makes it into the period most people are interested in here: http://www.potshopofboston.com/aboutus.htm All...

    Recipes from Old New-England

    Rather expected we'd hear from you on this one, Lizzie! Yes, my 90YO father, son of the Ocean State, would have bread-in-a-can as a treat when I was growing up; although my mother, now deceased may she rest in peace--daughter of the Bluegrass State--never made pork and beans. But...

    Recipes from Old New-England

    Good luck, CB: whatever that move is, and for whatever reason: it's good to know you won't starve.... I know, I know: more "relevance/diversity" sh--te. But, of course: cambodian lemon chicken IS, presumably, a traditional cambodian dish...and, Heaven knows, there is a large cambodian...

    Recipes from Old New-England

    Just received, unexpectedly, the email newsletter of "Historic New England"...who--particularly sadly for a very early organization whose entire purpose is to preserve the past--felt that they had to ditch their original name of "The Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities."...

    Walking Sticks & Canes.

    I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to see them, Paddy. BTW--not that I get around antiquing with the fervor I once did--but at the Brimfield show back in September I saw the first bog-oak cane I've seen in a few decades; it was low-middling tourist grade: decoration of shamrock and snakes...

    11th Hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month

    http://gallery.me.com/finiancircle#100014/RLMRIBlueStar My father joined the Army the day after Pearl Harbor; the eldest of 13 Irish slumrats in Depression Providence, RI, he mostly got through his days on a piece of toast and a cup of tea because he gave his food to his younger siblings. He...
