    VINTAGE MALLORY FOR SALE!

    Is it as light brown as it looks in the picture? Cause I'm interested. Gotta go sell some silver.

    Vocabulary Today

    I do think there is a negative effect to language drift, the loss of precision in meaning. Particular words have particular meanings, often with important nuances not captured by supposed "synonyms". Without precision in language and definition, maintained by retaining a deep and varied...

    Buttoning your jacket

    I think it's a cane being held almost point on to the viewer (though my first thought was the same as Rooster's until I considered apparant context). Anyway... If all my suits and jackets (3 and 2 button SB's) are "modern" and don't change fit when the bottom button is buttoned, does that...

    MEN of the LOUNGE

    I posted this in the trenchcoat thread but it is one of the few pics of me in a lid. And that's actual rain you're looking at on the coat. I'll not post the one for Maj. Strasser. :p

    Charcoal Fedora?

    It looks like Jeff's avatar picture, but without the brownish tint. Lighting is tough, as has been shown, the grey tones can pick up ambient tints easily. Bright light can cause a silvering effect that makes them look lighter than they really are.

    Charcoal Fedora?

    The Akubra Federation is a darker grey. I have one. Definitely medium-dark to dark.

    Still looking for mid- dark grey fedora

    You've looked at the Akubra Federation in charcoal right? That's what I have. What size are you?

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Looking again (thanks Wiki), the Mill's Bomb (the quintissential British grenade of WWI) didn't even have a striker spoon, just a pin with ring. I can't see how you'd hook a grenade to it. Also, if you look at Carter's picture, in order for the belt tail to go correctly to the left the rings...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    I dunno. [huh] In the pic Carter posted of his actual coat they were up as well. With only the two cloth belt loops on the sides and the belt being fabric as opposed to webbing, you sure aren't hanging much weight off those belts from a d-ring without a lot of sagging. As far as the...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    In the picture above, showing the front of the soldier, it looks like suspenders are attached to the d-ring, which makes more sense than "accessories", especially since there are two in back as well. (remember, the guys who write the text in ads are not necessarily the guys who use or make the...

    Can't blame 'em. Given the context, it sets off my "Don't make eye contact, don't get involved" alarm just hearing about it. :D

    Halloween Costumes

    Sweeeeet.... Thanks Story. Actually, I'd need to track down a DB suit, or at least a suit with a DB vest, I need to buy the graphic novel to be sure. To be in character it also needs to be green, which I wouldn't mind owning. Apparently in the graphic novel there are actual plans for the...
