"Chaplin" moustache
No. James71 nailed it. These were ruined in May, 1945 for white dudes. Well, really, they were ruined in January 1933, weren't they?
1940's house
Yes, there is Manor House (Edwardian- early 1900's: a very interesting split between 'upstairs' and 'downstairs') and '1900 House'. It was an eye opener to see how much work was required just for daily living, cooking, laundry, heating, etc., let alone the 'Gerries' dropping...
Living Color
I agree, although most of the footage I've seen has a 'washed out' quality to it, it does make the past more immediate.
Not to detour too far:
On the blitz, I have had the pleasure of visiting with a woman who endured these. What a great opportunity! She's still living...
Smoke and Mirrors
Looks like a fun read, from the Amazon squib. And, it touches on a reason why it's so easy for the public to dismiss the whole thing: the believers themselves are locked in endless argument about who's telling the truth and who is spreading 'disinformation'! If there is a...
Ditto
Just my 2 cent ditto to the Baron's recommendations for AVC and the sister site. I have bought quite few hats, suits and topcoats from these sites and am seldom disappointed. The descriptions are accurate and the prices, while not cheap, are fair.
Scuderia UFO
One of the more amusing myths is the story about the Italian UFOs.

As if they would be any more reliable than their automobiles.

This is absolutely true. I work at a bank in the headquarters and such small things (like a good spit shine too) do not go unnoticed. The rainy days that take the crease out of trousers from the knee down are H.ll! (I have posted before without satisfactory...
Hogan's Heroes
The German uniforms in most TV shows and movies are wrong, only in varying degrees. No SS officers were capering about in black Allegemeine uniforms during the war years, certainly not after 1942. No one wanted to advertise his 'in the rear with the gear' status. (No, I don't...
Collections
Reproduction military uniforms of all periods, and movie/TV costume replicas. These are not cheap 'off-the-racks' but researched and commissioned pieces, with props. There are a few commercially produced props and costumes of good quality, but very few.
Too many, too expensive and...
Shave and a hair cut....$34
I am reporting my first (and probably only ever) straight razor barber shave. I have heard this practice may be dying out because of legal concerns over liability for unfortunate disease transmission and the general lack of demand. Anyway, my barber, Frank, owner of...
TUXed out
I have learned something. I just never thought of a tux as a 'dinner jacket' which I have imagined as something less formal. Tomasso, thanks for the link to the site with the history of the tux.
