    Facial Hair or Goatee in wwII?

    Surprised no one thought of Gen. Carl "Tooey" Spaatz of USAAF fame - he had some wiskers

    Happy Day!

    I just taught my oldest son to shave! I gave him the option of using canned cream and a disposable razor or wet shaving. He opted for the wet shaving and started off with a Gillette Slim Twist (T-4) and didn't like it. He asked if he could try a "heavier" razor. So he moved on to new (to...

    hat band question

    Folks, I just converted a Justin 2X cowboy hat into my first fedora and have a question about hat bands. The conversion was so easy and inexpensive that I plan on getting a couple of more hats to match my typical attire and was wondering if anyone matches their hat band to their shirt color...

    What do you use to shave?

    I am a recent wet shaving convert and after a week of it I will never go back to canned shaving cream or modern razors. I alternate between a 1966 Gillette DE and a 1920's Gillette Milady (prefer the Milady as it gives a better shave). Using Williams soap in a 1950s Old Spice Mug with a...

    Spit and polish

    I used kiwi for 20 years with no problem spit shining. Even went as far as to use neutral kiwi as a "clear coat" if you will on my jumpboots (one they were spit shined) to add what amounted to a wet appearance.

    Gillette Milady Safety Razor

    Used it today myself (first time using a DE) and it worked great.

    Gents: Do you feel comfortable with a woman who is taller than you?

    My wife (married just a month now) is a few inches taller than me.

    Gillette Milady Safety Razor

    Hey folks, I just became the owner of a vintage razor that a close friend used as a travel razor while he was a fighter pilot in WWII. The oddest part is it is a lady's razor with a sliver barrel and a gold plated ball at the end. It's very short (which lent it's self to the pic up and move...

    'Orphan' A-2 jackets

    VLJ? I actually really like the FAI jacket. There is something about it that just does it for me, it's much better than my coopers and it's nice knowing I am not banging around in my Jeep in a $1000.00 leather jacket.

    newby looking for advice

    I am new to the lounge and have been interested in fedoras for a while but do not have any as yet. My avoidance comes from the fact that I typically wear an A-2 jacket in the fall and winter and have an inordinate amount of khakis / chinos in my closet. My concern is that I will look like I am...

    Whaddya think of 'Corcoran'-style jump boots?

    Wore them with my Class A's in the Army. Pretty comfortable but no where near as comfy as my jungle boots were LOL I would actually like to find a pair in brown someday.

    'Orphan' A-2 jackets

    Mine looks like either HH or Cow, not really all that stiff so I am inclined to think it is Cow (no real grain in the leather)

    Your Drinking Partner From The Golden Age?

    None of these folks would pay for a drink the entire night: Claire Chennault And the crew of Hey Moe And last but not least, my Grandfather who died, when my mom was 2, as a result of wounds received in WWII.

    Can anyone identify this Canadian beret patch and badge?

    It is 5th Special Forces Group. The confusion may come from the fact that back in the early days we did import our Berets from Canada. Looking at the sweat band and the way the flash is sewn on I would guess it's a mid to late 60's beret - if it still has the liner inside it can be worth some...

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    My favorite one is depicted in my avatar - and yes I got some stick time on it. Any Aeroplane nuts know what it is? Here are a few that I love: L049a Connie DC-3 / C-47 DC-2 P-40B P-51B/C B-17G B-24H F-4 Phantom F-100 F-16

    Any Leaf-Peepers Out There?

    Colors in Vermont weren't as bright as in past years, but it was still a memorable fall for me (got married :) )

    'Orphan' A-2 jackets

    Yup, my FAI size 44 was like that so I got it zipped and wore it basically two days straight. Stretched the waist out enough that it fits quite well now.
