    When they say "Butcher's cap", do they refer to a newsboy styled cap? In the 1930s

    Is it possible "butchers' caps" were stiff cloth at one time? And by that I mean as opposed to their paper "envelope" counter parts? I ask because my grandmother's nursing cap was stiff starched cotton but could be easily mistaken for thick cardboard.

    does anybody know

    Go ahead and tell those interested that it's a button specifically employed for the attachment and function of a plastic red or yellow propeller...that spins.

    I'll have a Scotch...

    Something about the French Oak is simply superb compared to their regular line. When I used to be in liquor sales, I would have alot of resistance to the Glenlivet by serious Scoth drinkers because they felt it was a weak Scotch. In fact, one guy even told me he wouldn't use Glenlivet to wash...

    I'll have a Scotch...

    God, I hope it's not perverse! I'm also a fan of bourbons and Scotches. I would say The Dalmore Stillman's Dram is my favorite but the bottle price of roughly $150 is a bit steep for me. So I'll take The Dalmore 21 year instead. Most bars that carry single malt scotch carry at least the...

    Zoot Suits?

    I think this is a good distinction. From the little information I've read, many of the gangs formed during those years were merely a matter of protection from racists, hoodlums and rival neighborhoods. In other words, these people were good working class individuals that couldn't simply rely...

    Hats at Burlington Coat Factory

    Well, if anyone is in the Des Moines metro area, our BCF has a pretty nice selection of fur felts. All have cloth sweats and I'd say the felt is 100% rabbit, but for a $16 starter hat, not bad. The felt, in my opinion and from my experience with fur felt hats I've purchased from BCF, is a...

    Preservation in Iraq

    Interesting set of cards. Raises the question: Do GI's still play cards? One would assume so, but I've never been over there and don't know. Anyone with some feedback?

    What makes a proper haberdashery?

    On the same par as BK and Luv, I think quality should come far ahead of quantity. I'd like a place full of surly men, quick wits, cigar smoking; somewhere out of the way, in the city, maybe downstairs of a popular market. No need for windows as there should be nice lamps. Good displays, well...

    Necktie Knots

    I would say, and I think most would agree, you're safe keeping the end of your tie either just above, slightly on, or just below your waistline (and I mean an overall length difference between shortest to longest of only an inch). I would stray towards just above or just on. Try not to go below...

    Amazon 50

    I'd pretty much stick to used items to maximize my spending, stick to paperbacks and maybe a few cds/movies. A list? Oh no... I don't want anyone snatching up the cheapies I've had my eyes on lately! :p

    35% HEMP...will feel like what?

    My limited experience with a hemp/cotton blend is that the shirts are relatively durable and breathable, soft and decent quality; differing little from current 100% cotton counterparts. I think much (not ALL) of the hemp clothing and accessories in the current market are purposely made rough...
