"Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)
MAD at MEN Two thoughts on this show. Jon Ham is one of those actors who manages to look perfect in his part and yet nothing like his character in real life. Amazing. I grew up in a very small Ohio town in the fifties and sixties but I tell you this: these 60 minutes are like a time...- filfoster

Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!
Jerkin' the jerkins What Price Glory? still has these jerkins of WWII pattern. Edward Fox's character, Gen. Horrocks in "A Bridge Too Far" is wearing one in some of the scenes.- filfoster

Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!
Rain, Man I've read through this thread and finally decided to settle for a 'gently worn' (hopefully not by a recent fatal swine flu victim) Burberry that has most of the features except the double gun flap ('gun', 'storm'-let's not have a flap over the flaps). It has only one flap, over the...- filfoster

When does it become a costume?
Life is a Cabaret-and many are dressed for it. I am old enough to imagine what my grandparents, simple small town farmers and shopkeepers born in the 1880's, would think if they could return and spend just two minutes at the local mall: "What are all the carnival workers doing here?" Mohawks...- filfoster

Worst Golden-era inventions
Rumba seat Come on. You just know some dads let the kids ride in it too. Where was Child Protective Services back then, eh? "I'll let you ride in it, if you promise not to tell Mom we stopped at the bar."- filfoster

Now I'm really cheating on my wife!
Headless Hatman Nice hat. Doesn't it feel good, admit it, to buy a hat (or anything else) knowing you're going to get away with it? And, having a lot of hats or whatever, means she'll probably never even notice it. "Is that new?" "It was- once." -
Federation Deluxe IV Size

The Great MacArthur Debate/Discussion
Big Mac, with extra sauce Machester's book says Roosevelt/Marshall ordered him to leave Corregidor. If he stayed, wouldn't he have been disobeying a direct order from the chain of command? There is the heroic appeal of going down with his ship but saving him seems to have had two significant... -
From Brooks Bros.: "Dress Like Draper!"
Search Me Tomasso: Thanks for the link. I see others have also had OK experiences with Baron. I am old enough to still be amazed that we can get anything, let alone a tailored garment, made on the other side of the world, in the Himalayas, ordered and paid for on a computer, delivered to us... -
From Brooks Bros.: "Dress Like Draper!"
MadMen shop at Brooks? I agree and I buy my daily work suits at Brooks (OK, I do wait for the sales!)-still pretty pricey. I just got two suits made by Baron Boutique in this '60's style for a small fraction of the Brooks price and with nice details like vented cuffs with working button... -

Bullion Insignia
US aviators in WWI wore mostly bullion wings on their uniforms and these originals (the usual caveat about new made fakes here) are very expensive. Some wore sterling silver wings badges but these appear from photos to be the exception. Joe Weingartner makes great, and not inexpensive copies of... -
Replicaters in India, How good are they?
Sanjay isn't surey Draws writes: the repro shopper has no choice unless someone were to find a large bolt of original western left-over material to work from and the availability of a quality tailor. Your observations are valid. I recommended George Petersen (NCHS inc) because he has... -
Federation Deluxe IV Size
Akubra cadabra This thread left me insanely curious about these so I ordered the Federation IV 'standard' models in moonstone and dark brown, I wear a 7 1/8 so I am gambling on the 57. It will be interesting to see what arrives. Julian: Nice hat indeed. I hope it will be as much fun fondling... -
Replicaters in India, How good are they?
Replican'ters What Price Glory is definitely better. Sanjay's best product is the NSDAP brownshirt but why would anyone want that? WPG: Be careful of arm length if you are over 33" sleeve length. For slightly more cost, George A Petersen, at NCHS inc. in Springfield VA can also make... -
