Begging your pardon sir. Please excuse the political overtones.
Mr. Paddy, after you justifiably moved this thread I noticed an existing and well used thread in the General Attire & Accouterments section and titled Concealed (Weapon) Fashion (Not that I am suggesting moving this thread...
A-2 Clone and CCW
My personal experience with using my old Avirex A-2 while carrying anything like a small Glock, a Colt OM or even a J frame S&W, using an IWB holster, is that it's just not a great jacket choice. If, like myself, you are an aging, sort of porky size 44 and 36[+] through the...
Creme Yvette and the Aviation
I need to look through more of the receipe books for an Aviation using Creme Yvette. Everything I've looked at so far is more or less like the Savoy book: 2/3 gin, 1/3 lemon juice and 2 dashes of Luxardo (Or maraschino). Mr Rumblefish you must have a different...
Luxardo - Frugal MacDoogals; English 75?
Last time I got some was in upper South Carolina at a big shop under the name of Frugal MacDoogals. That has been some time ago.
I cannot find any reference to a drink called English 75, including my reprint of the 1930 Savoy. Given that the French...
Meyer lemons
Say, Rumble, what is the story on the Meyer lemons? I can see that those are large but is there more to it than that? I tried a couple to use for twists but the rind was not the greatest.
Are you able to find Luxardo for the Aviation?
Boodles...most excellent
If the oppotunity presents itself try a bit of Lillet Blanc instead of vermouth. I do mean a little. With that try a lemon twist which you have worked on like crazy to get off all the pith possible.
Thanks Nick D
Given that you needed a size 10 (Also UK I assume) to cover a UK size 7-1/2 shoe I'm now sure I'd have no idea what size to buy unless I can find a shop which sells them. This news will save me from making an error on the 'bay. Maybe someone will join in with more details...
Sorry I never got back to you.
Happy to see that you sold these and I'm sorry I didn't get back to you. As it turned out I have a pair identical to these.
Nick D - Really Sharp Look. Spats Sizing?
Nick D sir, can you share any information with us on how spats are sized? I recall one pair on the 'bay sometime back which was listed as a 5. Do you know how that translates to a shoe size, say in my own case of being a size 10? Thank you.
Bourbon in SS flask
My experience has been much the same as Mr Tomasso describes below. I often leave bourbon of one brand or the other in stainless flasks with no ill effects. Two of the flasks are those cheesy Soviet era things which were sold for pennies after the Union was dissolved. Years...
Angostura Bitters still available here
Because of the discussion about the shortage of Angostura I looked for it in the two of the supermarkets I frequent. One store has a full shelf, maybe a dozen bottles, the other seems a bit lonw with only two or three bottles. Both markets have the bitters...
Van Winkle anything usually suits me
I don't have any Old Rip Van Winkle in the house at the moment but I do have a few other versions called Van Winkle and Pappy Van Winkle. Also in the photo are a couple other versions of bitters, Fee Brothers and Peychaud.
Indeed I do, but only on the weekends
I do enjoy boosting my coffee with some kind of hooch. But which one to choose? Decisions, decisions.
Mr. Fletch, I really enjoy adding Kahlua to coffee.
Gees Hastings, I mean MM, are you listing that one on...
Say Mountain Man should I look for that gem on the 'bay? Fat chance, I guess. I really like that dog's tooth pattern. I've got two jackets with similar patterns, one is an Orvis the other is Dunn as I recall, both in Harris cloth.
The...
Calvados in NC or SC
I understand. Lets talk again close to the time you go to Columbia. Maybe I can find a dealer for you in NC or SC close to the road you take.
I-40 is bombed out. I hope it can be repaired soon.
