    Ramsbury At War and the 101st Airborne Division

    I came across this interesting site dedicated to the Wiltshire village of Ramsbury and the surrounding area where the 101st Airborne Division were based before and after D-Day. http://www.ramsburyatwar.com/ The site owner has written a book, also called Ramsbury At War, which was used for...

    youtube addictions and delights

    This one is long - 26 minutes - but well worth watchng. It's a 1970's documentary about the Wigan Casino Northern Soul all-nighters, but it goes beyond just filming a bunch of kids dancing. There are some excellent interviews - although the accents may be a little challenging for non-Brits...

    Children of Men

    It was easily the best film I saw last year, and the DVD is due for release in England next Monday. I normally wait until the price of a DVD drops a little, but I'll be getting this one on the day of release. A brilliant film!

    Road to Perdition style vintage men's ankle boots...advice please

    These are nice, but lower than the others shown here. http://www.samuel-windsor.co.uk/ProductDetailInfoWithOptions.cfm?ID=BV37&ShopRef=73&Prime=Yes&shopListRec=33295 The best thing about all their shoes is that they cost £99.95 and you get a second pair of shoes free. They have a very...

    The Dark Side to Vintage...have you 'that' urge for a Gothic look..?

    From what I can remember Specimen came out of the remains of the New Romantic movement with the Batcave opening in 1982. Ah yes, here we go (google is your friend) - some pages from the Blitz Kids archive:Specimen and Batcave

    The Dark Side to Vintage...have you 'that' urge for a Gothic look..?

    Ah, sorry - re-reading your post I see what you mean now :o Was it written by Dick Hebdige - if it's the book I'm thinking of it's called Subculture: The Meaning Of Style, and I thought he made a fair amount of sense, even though, like almost every commentator on youth cults, he ignored the...

    Just reviving this thread to share this delightful little tune from late last year: Koop - Come To Me The song is absolutely charming but the video is a little chronologically confused - flappers swing dancing?

    The Dark Side to Vintage...have you 'that' urge for a Gothic look..?

    In the UK there was a short-lived swing revival in the late 70s that grew out of the soul and funk scene in the London suburbs in Essex. The larger revival in the early 80s was also partly via the soul scene in London where clubs like the Dirtbox, the Beat Route and the Wag were playing soul...

    Need help in identifying a cap

    There are a couple of cap threads active here in the Lounge at the moment with lots of links and tips, so you should find something you like - thread 1 and thread 2. I wear a brown wool felt 8-piece with my Barnstormer that I found on UK eBay.

    1930's Flat Caps - Where to Buy Them?

    If it's the cap in the photo I see what you mean - maybe the typical Bates customer just doesn't like a larger cap. I'm drawn towards those Big 'Uns as well. In fact I have a suit in a fabric very much like that one at the bottom of Speedsters page, although the check isn't quite as large and bold.

    1930's Flat Caps - Where to Buy Them?

    Well, they are in St. James' - they have to find the rent somehow.

    1930's Flat Caps - Where to Buy Them?

    The traditional hatters in St. James' are the obvious place to try - so obvious I forgot about them - although they are the most expensive. Edward Bates Ltd at 21a Jermyn Street have various tweed caps starting at £48 for the Gatsby James Lock at 6 St. James' Street have a larger range...

    Caps

    Nice cap Charlie and a steal at just $18. It looks just like my brown wool cap, quite heavy and not as floppy as one of my tweed caps - you can't go wrong with a black one either.

    Pinup ties.

    A (censored) Marilyn Monroe, U.S. made rayon tie, bought in a UK high street menswear shop (it may have been Top Man, or possibly Burtons) some time in the 1980s. They've never sold anything like this again, and they had the same tie in blue or green. There's a printed label on the back...
