    Walking Sticks & Canes.

    Leah, to the best of my knowledge the use of canes by the fairer sex during your time reference was limited to those elderly ladies, grand dames and others who needed them for legitimate medical reasons.

    Leather Sport Coats

    So anyhow Charlie, mine is a 500, made by Coast Sportswear in Vancouver, Canada. I'm ignorant as a post on all that fancy stuff, but this is a real nice jacket, the label says "genuine english suede." Think they skinned out a couple of nice fat young sheep to get the leather. HTH.:)

    Walking Sticks & Canes.

    Keygrip, sorry old Bean, but I'm an all film and bullets kinda guy, the 'uter is my one bow to the moderne. If you just absolutely had to have some pics, I could shoot a couple and drop some prints in the Post. As to sticks for defense from rabid dogs and such. I wish! This spring/summer I've...

    Walking Sticks & Canes.

    I make my own, mostly they're quite rustic. My two favourite approaches are crown stag for the handle, either as a knob or horizontally, and rawhide covered round stone knob with a Plains Indian war club aesthetic. As to sword canes, I wouldn't want to pull one unless I was well educated in...

    Trouble Connecting to the Lounge?

    I have only been able to get on twice in the last several days. If it takes some kind of cyber-genius to fix the problem, then I for one am hooped.

    Reproduction classic workwear

    Great pics Riley, I especially like the Spud Cellar. What I wouldn't give to be able to walk into a joint like that today. As to work pants, I recently found some "Hamilton" pants from Carhart. Save that they have zippers instead of buttons, they are a spittin' image for the old stuff. Mucho...

    Lefty, that recommends them to me!:D

    What color ink do I need?

    Gracias a todos. Miss N, I went with your recommendation and ordered some Pecan. The Pendemonium website says it might not qualify for air burst nuclear event proof, but close enough for the girls I go with. And DM, thanks for the info. None of my pens have a true flexible nib, and there's...

    Who, what, where, Allesandria?

    Well, except with the Dobbs or Adam they're completely different companies than Stetson, whereas in the Alessandria case, they're still a Borsalino whether or nay they're marked Alessandria.

    Who, what, where, Allesandria?

    So at the end of the day, If you have an OR clone Borsalino hat of whatever mark or vintage, and whether or not strictly right in a legalistic sense, one could legitimately refer to the hat as an Alessandria?

    What color ink do I need?

    Wow, DM those links are great! One thing, what pen/nib did you use for the Empire Red test? The only way I can get a line like that is from my dip pens.

    What color ink do I need?

    Thanks lots, Gents. DerMann your exhaustive reply and listing of lings is most kind. I shall peruse them with attention. As to the acidity question. It is worthy of note that your citation says that iron gall ink was effective on vellum. Perhaps that is the key to the survival of all the...

    "Rules" for newsboy caps use?

    Thanks much Feraud. The depression makes sense, but for that one pic with the Yank, Brit and French flags flying from the buildings. I'd take that for 'Teens or early Twenties if I didn't know better.
