Reproduction classic workwear
Sleeve problems... Aha- sometimes, it's not ONLY the depth of the armhole/sleeve connection... sometimes the angle of attachment is problematic- many modern shirts(suit coats, too)have a downward-pointing sleeve/attachment, rather than a sleeve at the horizontal. But a "batwing" type sleeve...- BellyTank

Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom
Yes, it didn't look so old from the photos, the plastic is a bit of a giveaway and the "old", British ones were a bit bigger. I would not recommend soaking any "Pith helmet", modern, or antique, it will be destroyed. Keep on hunting- the pith is out there... B T -

Opinions about Johnnie Walker

But then I have some difficulty deciding which blends are better, considering they contain a lot of non-malt(non-Scotch)product. Also, I don't personally see "value" in blends, so don't...- BellyTank

Opinions about Johnnie Walker
You totally disagree... Do you usually drink single malts, or blends..? Blend drinkers tend to be caught up in the whole "smoothness" thing, which is kind of at odds with Malt drinkers tastes. This could contribute to our opinions differing so much. Red tastes like Scotch, Black tastes...- BellyTank

Opinions about Johnnie Walker
Blends vs. Vatted Malts "Blends" are blends of Malts and grain spirit, as Dermann rightly states. Harder to find, are "Vatted Malts", which are blended only from malts. I actually prefer JW Red to Black. Harshness and "Smoothness" are red herrings as far as I'm concerned- taste some of...- BellyTank

Swedish Tweed- a 1930s that could be 1950... ...and a 1920 tweed with bells and whistles that could be 1919. Photos when the camera surfaces. French work jacket... and I forget the rest. You..? B T- BellyTank
