Military style hair brush
As has been mentioned before Kent operate an eBay store where they sell off slight seconds at knockdown prices ...and by seconds you might find one or two slightly discoloured bristles, nothing major. I have always used Kent military brushes - even now when I have a lot less hair than was the...- Micawber

The covert coat...
All carefully trapped so as not to damage the tiny pelts or specially bred in mole-farms then hand-stitched together by nimble fingered children in candlelit cottages out in the woods? Er no. As Alan says it's a hard-wearing, warm cotton material with a furry nap often favoured by country...- Micawber

The covert coat...
A peruse through some of the British field sports magazine will bring forth a plethora of companies that can supply moleskin, cords & tweeds but here are a few (as per my post on Ask Andy).. John Norris stock moleskins including their own brand which I find at 25 quid a throw are ok for...- Micawber

Hand washing suits.
My grandmother shrank quite a bit as she got older, I don't think it was the rain either. -
Hand washing suits.
Over the years I have also carefully handwashed several all wool suits including bespoke outfits from Savile Row houses. Cool water, careful handling, drying and pressing have resulted in some good results. -
well date with the gorgeous gal went great last nite, sans a lesson learned
Exactly - especially in such a relatively public place too.- Micawber

Agreed. Fifty to seventy quid will buy you something remarkably similar new from many Hight St outfitters. -

A-2 Jacket Art question
From talking to veterans that either actually did it or who were involved with those that did I would agree that they used whatever was easily available on the base and out and about in the wider community. Little regard was given to long term durability but a relatively quick drying finish was...- Micawber

My boy Jack ~ Harry Potter
I believe the article in the Radio Times which was written by Radcliffe said the moustache was care of the make up department and that they had trouble with it during the filming of the scenes in the rain. I agree, it was a moving programme. Not that many years ago veterans from the Great...- Micawber

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Probably too provincial for most here but I just re-watched Peter Hall's Akenfield which is based on the book of the same name by Ronald Blythe. Why? Because I just finished reading Return To Akenfield by Craig Taylor followed by rereading the original Blythe book. Both are documentaries of...- Micawber

WWII P-38 Fighter Discovered in Wales
Absolutely. I dislike seeing trinkets made out of recovered bits of wreckage being hawked for sale at airshows and alike. Some things are best left undisturbed. -

Secret Pockets in Tailcoats?
I have 19th Cent Frock coats with pockets let in the tails but carrying anything bulky in them would make walking decidedly uncomfortable. I have hunt coats with pockets in the same area.
