    What women think of mens hairdo's?

    Well, ok. Another reason I deleted it was I don't like drawing attention to myself, but since the context is men's hair styles and facial hair, I'll put it back up. I apologize for the quality of the pics, they're scans from past and present driver licenses (I keep my old ones). They were...

    Roaring 20s/Prohibition party attire

    That helps, thanks! I have actually found one using "grandad", only problem it has stripes, which I detest. I'll keep looking. For some reason, they are all turning up in England. You don't realize it, but you just made a pun! The party is for our scuba diving club's annual banquet!

    Roaring 20s/Prohibition party attire

    Thanks, I put them on my watch list. All I need now is a shirt to go with it. I believe they're called "Grandad" shirts. I've been searching high and low on the net and can't seem to find them, at least not the kind that go with the collar.

    What women think of mens hairdo's?

    I deleted my post (along with the pics) since it seemed to revolt you so much. FYI, I don't wear a "Caesar". It doesn't even come close, my hair is straight, short, parted and combed to the sides and back. You need glasses and a few lessons in "vintage" manners! Men have feelings too, deary...

    Do you hunt for free vintage artifacts?

    It's not uncommon for privy-diggers to offer to do the digging and excavating for you in exchange for splitting the find, property owner getting first pick. You may want to check into that if you don't want to do the digging yourself. In your case, the really good stuff will be at the bottom.

    Do you hunt for free vintage artifacts?

    They did that from boats too. There was a guy here in Seattle (who has sinced passed away) who used to go out in Lake Washington and dive along the paths of the old ferries. He had a houseful of artifacts, everything from tokens, coins, zippo lighters, anchors. He even found an old French...

    Do you hunt for free vintage artifacts?

    There are three methods that I'm aware of to do this. One is using a metal detector to scan beaches and old homesteads or historic sites. Another is what is called "privy-digging", digging up old outhouses or old garbage dumps to search for antique bottles and other artifacts. Here's one of...

    Loss of a Seattle institution

    I didn't know they existed. Thanks for tipping me off to a vintage hat dealer in the area, I'll try to pay them a visit soon. Any others I should know about?

    The ones that got away

    Here's my latest frustration. These have been selling for anywhere from $300-$400 in my area, sometimes upwards of $800 if in mint condition. I tried calling as soon as the ad came out, but the phone just rang. Tried again the next day and left a message, but they called back and said it sold...

    Men's Hairtyles: I'm Having Difficulty Finding Useable Photos.

    Interesting topic, and I feel your pain. Even trying to get a barber to cut it short takes some convincing these days. I've found that even when you say "taper", they tend to do a "tapered but full" look. NO, I say, I want it SHORT. I don't understand the squeamishness of some barbers to cut...

    French Cuffs and other questions

    Didn't know there was such a thing as 2-sided cuff links. In addition to looking better, they seem like they would stay put better. I can't tell you how many pairs of links I lost because the lasp would straighten and cause the link to come off.

    Klatuu, mirada nikto, Dude!

    That must be Jaden Smith. IMDB lists him as being "rumored" to have a part.

    Klatuu, mirada nikto, Dude!

    My hearing isn't the best. Mirada, mirata, verata, whatever, they sound the same to me. My biggest fear is it will have a "pc" twist to it and end with Klaatu giving us a lecture about global warming and being overweight.

    Female Crooners

    I don't know her name, but she sings in a few songs in my Artie Shaw collection. Deep Purple and Just My Bill are two.

    French Cuffs and other questions

    If you're going to wear fc's for work, be careful with your cleaner. I used to work driving limos and wore fc's. The fold of the cuff would naturally get dirty. I had a bad experience with one neighborhood cleaner. When I picked up my shirts I hung them up and didn't inspect them (didn't...

    How Did They Do It?

    I was going to mention that but you beat me to it. Large families were an economic asset. My Dad's family had 9 children. His grandparent's had 16 children. Everybody pitched in with the chores.

    Favorite type of Steak

    I'm not real picky about the type of steak as long as it's tasty and cooked well. "Well" in this case meaning cooked with skill. I like them medium rare. I like my beers dark, Black Butte Porter being my favorite.
