    How to wear gloves with tite cuffs?

    Thanks much guys, some good insights here. Still haven't made up my mind. Saw some really nice lined deerskin gloves today, may go back for them. Guess it'll just end up being a matter of what works best. I was out today for a long walk in -10C with wind and it was pretty chilly, had fingerless...

    How to wear gloves with tite cuffs?

    Nobody? I can't believe I'm the only guy on here who wears gloves with an A2 or G1 or whatever. Or maybe I am?

    Hair cuts

    Best example I've seen of the old time 'cut is in "Treasure of the Sierra Madre." There's a scene where Bogart is in the barber shop and you get a real good look all 'round of the generic haircut of the period. If you could get the movie online or something and capture a still or two and take...

    How to wear gloves with tite cuffs?

    Hey all, as the weather gets colder, it's time to break out the gloves. Lately I've been wearing my new G1 under a generously cut over coat and it works great, should be all I need for the majority of the winter. But I'd like to ask if gloves generally should be worn tucked under the ribbing of...

    Love that Boralino Alessandria...

    I have two and wish I had more. My absolute favorite hat in the world. None better in my estimation. Mine are both from the fifties. One is pearl grey and is as new, was my Dad's. The other I scored off the 'bay and have worn it almost daily for the last 4 or 5 years, milky coffee colored. Only...

    Vintage Eyeglasses

    Tomorrow I'm picking up my new glasses. They are clear aviator type, which I have found I need when shooting because I was loosing the top of the view over the barrels due to the small view through my old timey wire rims. Anybody tell me when aviators came into general use and if there is any...

    Why is my jacket warm?

    I still think it's something to do with the leather. Day after posting this, I was out again in the same jacket and again, I was warm, and it occurred to me that until I sold my Barbour recently, I found that it was not nearly as warm, and this with the belt, sleeves and neck done up tightly...

    Show us your Guns!

    Undertow, I saw that piece and immediately alerted all my friends and family members. I also once upon a time worked in the gun biz and only heard of this once or twice, but I take the evidence presented in that doc as evidence enough. When even the inventor tried to get them to change the...

    Why is my jacket warm?

    Thanks everyone, lots to think about. In response, I have to say that I've spent inordinate numbers of hours out of doors in all kinds of weather and have mostly relied on wool and some sort of windbreaker until it gets seriously below zero, then out comes the down. I have lots of wool and I...

    Why is my jacket warm?

    I was out for a walk today. The temperature was in the high thirties. I was wearing an A shirt, t shirt, light cotton dress shirt and my 1990 Cooper G1. I was warm. What is it about goat skin that accomplishes this feat without any insulation? I was rather pleasantly surprised and somewhat...

    Vintage hunting and fishing photos

    Great pics! Very interesting that in every single waterfowling photo there's not a single double gun. A-5's, M12's and M97's. Don't know if it's just a matter of a small group of friends and relatives, or a certain location, but it sorta gives the lie to the notion of the ubiquity of double guns...

    Buried Treasure

    Back in the early seventies, soon after moving to B.C., my brother and I took a six week road and hiking trip all through northern B.C. and the southern Yukon, up the Alaska Hiway before it was paved. Kicking around one day we came upon an old trapper's cabin in which we found lots of old frying...

    Favorite type of Steak

    Tonight I had filet de mule deer, hung for 15 days in average temp of 40degrees, burned the outside, the inside still quivering, done on the barbe. Could've cut it with a fork. There's no cow meat on the planet that can compare.
