    candid film of a South dakota town in 38-39

    Just great. What jumped out at me was how tiny the hat brims were.

    Comments on my new Cooper type G-1?

    Well, as to pics, my daughter's fancy new camera that I bought her for Grad packed it in after two weeks, so no joy there, sorry to say. As to fitting, I can only comment on the fact that my Avirex A2 size 44 fits very tightly, just, I suppose, as they were originally meant to fit. But I find...

    Comments on my new Cooper type G-1?

    Wow, thanks a million Gents, that's great info. I'm much clearer on the whole thing now. As to pics, my daughter is here visiting right now and if I can talk her into it, I'll get something up, but otherwise I'm an illiterate. There are pics on the web here and there though. Is this a great...

    Comments on my new Cooper type G-1?

    Hi all. I do not know a lot (very little actually) about leather jackets. My first and only other is an Avirex A2, but I recently acquired a Cooper G-1 in goatskin, made in the early 90's. The guy I got it from said the jacket was made during Cooper's contract with the Navy and is precisely...

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    Hang in there, Dan, and good on ya. Do have a look at snuffhouse.org as there are lots of guys there who've used snuff to quit the fags. Without trying, my pipe smoking has gone way down with the snuff use, and although I am not wanting to give up the briar, I would find it easy with this...

    WTB Silver snuf box

    Hey all, although there's a pile of these on Ebay, I am finding that outfit real hard to deal with anymore, (I don't use paypal) so am trying here. Need a nice functional sterling (or alpaca or nickel silver or silver plate or even brass) snuff box, one that doesn't leak and holds at least...

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    "Smoke when you can, snuff when you can't" - Wilson's Lately I've been getting into nasal snuff, trying lots of varieties and finding this odd behaviour increasingly pleasant and rewarding. It is a discreet, tasty and fulfilling way to take tobacco and incredibly inexpensive compared to cigars...

    Are these shoes any good?

    ...And tradition. They started in 1834.

    Are these shoes any good?

    Thanks for the reply Tooch. I read your link and found some other info also, they are colloquially called "longwings." Apparently a very good shoe, compared with the best American and British companies, sold for around $350-$400. They went bankrupt recently, the reason given was that they could...

    Are these shoes any good?

    Hiya folks, just ran into a pair of shoes at the thrift store and am looking for a bit of info. I am not a suit and tie type, so I've never owned any flash footwear, but these look to be quality and have a real nice vintage vibe. I think they are what you city fellers call "wingtips." The...

    Show us your Guns!

    That's a cool link Stearmen. BTW, Naphtali, what's the twist in that thing?

    Show us your Guns!

    Naphtali, I will be some serious impressed if you can manage to regulate those barrels to hit same poi without using different loads, a job considered the province of only the most skilled in Britain. Please keep us posted. I will be very interested to hear how you manage it. Good luck.:eusa_clap

    "Tea Pots"

    Hope this ain't a hijack, but it's about tea pots. Did some trading last week in an antique store and came up with an unused vintage Yixing tea pot because I liked the looks of it. Since, I have done some research and found that they have been around in China for around a millenium...

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    I have generally over the years steered clear of aromatics, but was recently given a couple ounces of 4noggins 'three blind moose.' What a delightful tobacco. Mild, tasty, not cloying, nice room note, tried it in a couple of new pipes, a BC and a Jobey. Ordered more. My usual light english...
