    Velour Jogging suits

    OFF TOPIC ?? Well maybe off topic but anyway...... with regard to the current craze of wearing all these tacky 'designer' sports garments, here's a 'lil joke I heard :- Two Irish guys, Pat and Mick, are travelling through the jungle when they come upon a river. Down on the river bank...

    First Hat

    Positive ! Thanks guys for the responses - particularly you James for the dating - I really must see if there are any books relating to hats and their history. I read the book 'Hatless Jack' about how JFK was supposed to have helped the decline of the hat ( I dont think he did - it was already...

    First Hat

    Yes, its a small eagle pin - does that pin down the date a little more accurately ?( no pun intended !) It just says Mallory cravenette - premier quality on the sweatband - no mention of Stetson Its a 7 1/2 long oval

    First Hat

    Well here's the Mallory I got from Mr E Bay - I'm a little self conscious in the pics, not least because the photographer, my long suffering daughter, was making wisecracks about Al Capone and Frank Sinatra - guess I have to get accustomed to that kind of thing ! Now all I have to do is wear it...

    Malodorous Hat

    THANKS !! Well this certainly elicited a good few responses ! and all of them very interesting - Thankyou ! I'm going along with the fresh air and sunlight approach initially and I feel that will do the trick - its already improved and I've only worn it a couple of times. Thanks to you...

    Malodorous Hat

    Just received a hat today which I bought off of 'the bay' Its a vintage Mallory Eagle which is in virtually unworn condition but has obviously been stored for years and has quite a 'musty' smell to it :eusa_doh: - possibly in a smoking environment. Apart from this, it is in super condition and...

    The BEST shoe color !

    My old shoes Believe it or not, I bought these shoes back in 1991 and wore them once before stowing them away till this year !!! Pity is, the colour doesn't really 'go' with too many clothing colours ( or so I'm told ). I've only worn them with some Mushroom coloured Bills M1 khakis. What...

    Soundtracks Film soundtracks are a good idea - for starters I'd recommend the soundtrack CD from the movie 'Devil In A Blue Dress'...

    Lenny And George Fedoras

    Hi Major Please tell me that you've only seen the 1939 film with Lon Chaney as Lenny - or one of the made for TV version ( 1970 & 1981 ) because I can't see the 1992 film starring Gary Sinise as George and the amazingly talented John Malkovich as Lenny being bettered to be honest, but that's...

    GREAT AERO half belt thread.

    You know, I seem to remember hearing that before some place.........lol lol Just think, if Art had worn Bills M1 khakis instead of tight levis, he mightn't have sung so high !

    GREAT AERO half belt thread.

    Thanks Paddy (and everyone else) for your positive comments. As it happens Paddy, I had decided to get a 'newsboy' cap to wear with this jacket, they seem to go together well. As for cutting a dash in the streets of Birmingham, well thats easy - just shower and shave and don't wear a baseball...

    Another reason why wearing a Fedora RULES!

    Sharp Dresser Gets The Dame I have to guess, right ? Ok, it's the kind of ad Mallory would be running now were they still in business, only the caption is missing ! How about : "Get yourself a Mallory hat - they're real head turners !" Seriously though, it's a great photo - you really...
