    Is this a military belt? Rare? Valuable?

    Stooged Not to hijack the thread, which seems done anyway, but I concede Curly was the finest third stooge, although Shemp was better than the lamentable Curly Joe, and after all, he was Moe's real brother with a slightly better haircut. Really though, stepping into Curly's shoes was an...

    Magnoli Clothers 3 piece suit

    Pix I can send you an actual picture but I am ashamed to admit I don't have the tech to post one here. The blue is lighter than navy but not 'royal' blue. The tweed texture makes for a nice, more casual look. I will try to see if I can find the sample jpg Indy sent me of the sample.

    Is this a military belt? Rare? Valuable?

    Belted Yes, that's a "King's Crown" device. I thought it might be a regimental motto, but dependable "Google" says it's the royal motto.

    Magnoli Clothers 3 piece suit

    Magnoli Last year, I purchased five suits from him, including a single breasted, peaked lapel, dark blue tweed suit. The fabric has a silk-like hand to it and it fits beautifully. I wore it to work here at the bank on a wintry day in December and got some compliments on it.

    Of Sheep-Dip, Rot-Gut, and Furniture Polish. The worst of the worst.

    A co worker loved plum wine. It was only one of his many peculiarities. On the other hand, compared to sloe gin and Zima,(now thankfully dead), it is champaigne. As for the two bottles in your bar, don't we all accumulate the wine our guests bring? I can only hope they were 're-gifting'.

    Closing jacket vents

    Many of us have learnt some basic sewing skills-buttons, the odd button hole or a loose lining searm. Generally, cuffs, sleeves, anything very visible, I somehow just think the professional makes it look better, even if I could do it nearly as well. And there is the economy boost by giving them...

    Gun Boats - like them or dislike them?

    Sink the Gun Boats I must count myself fortunate to never wear them again. I paid my dues for over 15 years. I wore them every day as part of my work ensemble: Florsheim Imperials and a suit. I am just not that 'sole-full' anymore. Too much of a good thing. I will never again wear wingtips for...

    Rick Deckard Costume, more than just a coat

    Sean Not-So-Young Anymore Another alchohol related accident? Maybe she'll sit near Kanye West at the next awards banquet.

    Bloody Mary Mix

    Bloody Mary There is a wonderful recipe posted on a neighboring thread but Tomasso asked about a mix, which I take to mean a commerically prepared and bottled concoction. I admire the purists who take the time to procure the ingredients and mix their own. I admire their aesthetic sense and...

    Rick Deckard Costume, more than just a coat

    Sean Young I agree with this opinion. In this movie, Sean Young looked as good as any woman needs to look. I had and still have a crush on her. My wife says this is harmless. I assume she is referring to the crush on a younger, very distant woman who could easily get a restraining order...

    Rick Deckard Costume, more than just a coat

    Bladerunner redux No more posts on this? This movie is a cult classic-great for repeat viewings. Ridley Scott created a dark, haunting, very 'dense reality' world! Those purple puppets from Avatar would be rolled and robbed in a heartbeat in Blade Runner's LA. Come to think of it, there are...
