    Vintage car observation.

    I'm not sure if it's by state to state, but any car over 25 years is considered antique. Here in California cars don't die so you see alot of them. In the midwest, you're lucky to see a car 25 years or older because they just rust out. I consider any car without a computer somewhere on...

    Age of a Resistol?

    I don't think that hat box looks 1950 at all. It looks more 30's to me.

    Working Men's Hats

    I think tradesman should have their each original hats too, like they use to. Dress the part. Now days the only "tradesman" wearing hats for the job are sports. A kid today can tell you the difference between a football helmet, baseball cap, Bike helmet... But Police, Taxi? nodda.

    BROOKS BROTHERS

    I've always gone to thrift stores since I was a little boy, but I never bought clothes. I'd buy toys and such. Then about 10 years ago I discoved clothes. Now If a pair of jeans cost over 10 dollars I freak or a shirt more than 5. That being said, I will buy a pair of vintage levis for 200...

    Work and a family

    On the same thread but another spool. I was raised by two parents up until it was fashionalble to get a divorce. But I mostly grew up in an Amish community where their view on children is probably much like that of the "golden age". Amish have for the most part a lot of kids. 12 is very...

    Nose art on an A-2

    Very nice work. I'd be too nervous to paint on the back of my jacket. I had enough trouble sewing on a patch! On a side note, my old graphic's lady's uncle use to paint jackets and nose art during WWII. She said she had some of his old brushes, but alas no photos of his work, but I'm...

    The A2 Hall of Fame

    If you want a REAL US made one, buy an original. Personally I like to buy the best I can afford. For me that's Aero. It's American Horsehide and made In Scotland which is only a few generations away from being American if you do your generational math. Remember America is only 200+ years...
