    Chaplin Mustache in Modern Day Society?

    "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?

    Color Footage of the Blitz

    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...

    Color Footage of the Blitz

    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...

    Trou Congrats on getting a pair in that condition that fit so well. And the shirt-does it fit also?

    UFOs and WWII

    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...

    Source for Vintage 40s Era Mens Suits?

    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.

    UFOs and WWII

    Scuderia UFO One of the more amusing myths is the story about the Italian UFOs. http://www.naziufos.com/NEWSCL/BELLUZZO.HTM As if they would be any more reliable than their automobiles.

    Favorite Uniforms

    Sharp Dressed Man [/COLOR][/B] 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...

    Favorite Uniforms

    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...

    What else do you collect?

    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 of the Day

    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...

    Do you own a Tux?

    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.

    Do you own a Tux?

    Tux tales Where is the tux in all this, which by the way, seems spot on? It's not tails and somewhat more than a dinner jacket isnt' it?
