CONELRAD-CONtrol of ELectromagnetic RADiation
Just replace "Soviet Union" with [x]... 1. Iraq 2. Taliban 3. Al-Qaeda 4. Libya 5. Syria 6. China 7. North Korea 8. Iran etc, etc, etc. We're living a perpetual Cold War, with hot "conflicts" every decade since WWII. As far as I'm concerned, we were never in the path of nuclear war...- Undertow

Dr. Seuss, Ad Man: the hidden past comes out
Fantastic thread! See the similiarities between his ad work and his children's books; he most certainly had a style of his own. There are the animals with elongated necks and large upper lips, the men with nobs for noses, the wide eyed smiling creatures, the simple V-shaped hands, etc. These...- Undertow

Help, Can't wear wool
Wool was used primarly due to its obvious durability and versatility. If you're looking for "vintage" suiting alternatives to wool, you can find seersucker (cotton), silk, mohair and linen. Although Rayon was invented prior to the 1900's, it wasn't really used in clothing until the 1930's... -

Going to work in vintage apparal
My physical size and limited wallet tend to keep me away from actual vintage. But if you mean vintage and vintage style, then yes, I have the option. I DO NOT work in a job where I A.) enjoy my surroundings/duties and B.) enjoy the daily questions about why I would dare wear a suit and tie...- Undertow

Kicked off a watch forum!
I guess I'm lame. [huh] I wear a Timex most days. Replaced the leather strap a few months ago - the strap itself cost 1/2 as much as the watch, which should indicate something of costs here. For formal occasions, I can choose from a dual-tone Bulova or a gold Bulova. The dual-tone was my...- Undertow

Although not exactly related to the topic, I thought this might be useful for gauging the actual "feel" of a certain weight during a particular year. Or perhaps, how practical a certain weight would have worn, so to speak. Unfortunately, as far as I know the following link is only useful for... -
Bring back the clotheslines!
We use a clothesline at home. Love it. We have an indoor porch area in our apartment where we've strung a few lines up. Works well and it's protected from blowing debris. Best of both worlds!- Undertow

Articles says men lose fashion sense at age 37....
Typical fluff article brainstormed as a piece of filler. I remember spending hours going over this kind of crap. Every news posting or printing agency must fill space and in order to do so, they must brainstorm a trove of pedestrian articles that can be assigned, researched and printed. This...- Undertow
