    1930s vintage in today's gyms

    Sadly, people that go to gyms are more of the first two of three types as I have noticed. 1. Narcissist Jocks,...that look in the mirror at themselves 50% of the time while the other 50% is used to act like an ass and gawk at others pointing out a gal's endowments or poking fun at others...

    WWII Boots - Service, Jump, etc.

    Actually the double buckle are an easier boot to work with if you are a reenactor doing late-war european theater impression late 1943 and into 1945.
