    The Thread to Display Your 1940s Suits

    Not exactly. Barathea has a pebbled surface, and grosgrain has a ribbed surface. When the ribs are thicker, it's called grosgrain; when the ribs are very thin, it's called faille.

    1943 schoolboys' knickers

    They began to be mass-marketed in the 1920s, though they existed before then.

    1943 schoolboys' knickers

    Yes, it existed back then, especially for kids' knickers. Easier to put on and take off, and slightly cheaper too. I've rarely come across web cuffs on vintage adult-sized knickers, but web-cuffed vintage kids knickers show up all the time on the vintage market.

    Poetry

    There's a race of men that don't fit in, A race that can't stay still; So they break the hearts of kith and kin, And they roam the world at will. They range the field and they rove the flood, And they climb the mountain's crest; Theirs is the curse of the gypsy blood, And they don't know...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    And furthermore ... what's up with eBay buyers? They're asking such questions as, "I'm not going to bid on your item, but I have a friend that might. How much do you think your item will sell for?" Good Lord. They're asking questions about measurements and shipping fees that are already...

    The best and worst vehicles for the hat wearer

    . The Chrysler PT Cruiser is a good car for hat wearers -- particularly in the back seat, where the roof is higher.
