Class rings, onetime popular mementos, losing popularity
Jostens: the Madoff of youth Mine too, although most of us don't equate 'gem' with plastic. Not that I ever wear it now. Maybe I'll wrap pastel angora yarn around it and Google my high school crush to give it to her. No, wait. Mrs. Foster may object to that. On the other hand, she doesn't...- filfoster

Bloody Mary with a Beer Chaser

Repro WW2 German Panzer wrap anyone ?
mea culpa Not shy on the booklearning-read shelves of them on WW2. No matter how many more millions of souls Uncle Joe sent to the hereafter, (more Soviets than Germans, per Mr. Conquest), the Red Army doesn't have the same onus in the popular mind here that the Wehrmacht conjures. (They...- filfoster

WWII Boots - Service, Jump, etc.
ETO boots I've still got my dad's. Had 'em refurbished a few years ago. They evidently had holes on the inside where the ankles would occasionally rub. There were small leather patches put over them. They look so much nicer than my 1981 issue USMC boots and no platoon sergeant yells at me to... -

Bloody Mary with a Beer Chaser
Anyone else love this combination? Yes, it's a signpost on the way to a twelve-step program, but I love the taste. Ever try it?- filfoster

Class rings, onetime popular mementos, losing popularity
Class, no ring Yeah, that class ring. It's like a souvinir you get at Disney World or some vacation spot. It looks like something you'd always like to have, but isn't*. * Does not apply to any Service Academy ring! Wear those with pride 'til you die.- filfoster

BAAAAAAAD Reenactment...stories/pics please
Diecke Fallshirmjaeger Looks like he knew where to hide out until they found him. I don't think he'd make the push: he'd have to wait for it to come to him. And definitely not jumping or taking off in a plane. -
What the heck does Jughead wear?
Not every crown wears a king Let's see: Goober, Jughead, that Bowery Boys guy, Huntz Hall....I'm not sure I want to emulate them with this headwear. My grandparents gave me one when I was a kid, late '50's. They never liked me. I can't remember if it lasted one or two days on the playground. It... -
What Color Trousers with that Blazer?
Navy? The picture shows light blue gray, not navy. I agree cream is a great trouser shade with either. -

Mystery solved! Bogart's weird suit in "The Big Sleep"

Crusher caps
linked in His site is under SLOW construction. You have to call him. His number is on the site under "contact" and shows his scheduled hours in the store. I know he's headed to Thailand next week but he's in today and tomorrow. Give him a call. He's an encyclopedia of knowledge on WWII... -
BOGARTS FEDORA
Bogie hat Doesn't the related Golden Age site have a bunch of shots of Bogie fedoras from different movies? They all look generally the same; high crown fedora, snap brim with a deep diamond bash. There are some nice rear/top shots on that site. For some reason, even the Fed IV's don't seem to... -
Repro WW2 German Panzer wrap anyone ?
Risky Business They are very unique and attractive jackets but I would be afraid of offending some sensibilities. Much better off to wear a repro Russian telogreika, which is one very cool jacket. As Joe Covais used to say in his New Columbia advertising, "Possibly the coolest thing ever...- filfoster

Jeremy Brett-Sherlock Holmes Top Hat-How Tall?
It's a matter of inches The consensus on the companion thread in "Hats" is 6". I have a 7" topper and it looks very, very tall when actually worn, even though it looks like the prototypical top hat when on display. Similarly, the 5.5" looks a little short on a table but looks very similar to...- filfoster

$99 MTM Linen Suit. Could this be true?
Borrowed pictures My experience with replica uniforms confirms this. You'll get something but it won't look like the pirated picture. -
Crusher caps
Crusher I've had a few of these and the absolute best copy I've seen, based on the construction of the inner band and the peak and the tricot material, is offered by George Petersen of NCHS Inc of Springfield VA. The cap is great; the eagle not so much. The only problem is getting him when...
