    The Spanish Civil War

    SCW I read Orwell's book last summer. A very readable, intimate look at the war and its less glorious aspects.

    The Spanish Civil War

    SCW C J Nohai is the reenactor vendor cited. He is the friend I referred to in the original post reference to La Columna. He can make great, accurate stuff but he's not making any Nationalist uniforms and very limited Republican items. I have practically begged him to start this project but it...

    The Spanish Civil War

    Spanish Civil War This is an awkward fit in the WW2 forum, but I think appropriate for the Lounge because of its romance and place in history and literature. The Spanish Civil War was a 'rehearsal' for many of the combatants in WW2. There are virtually no reenactor uniforms available...

    WWII Army Officers Dress Shoes

    Military shoes The What Price Glory site has good, wearable miiltary shoes, British and US. WWII Impressions does also as does At the Front but sizing can be a problem. German officers, for 'walking out dress' often wore pull on ankle boots that looked a lot like Beatle boots with a rounded...

    Pencil Mustache

    pencil moustache No split. This is a good, vintage look. These are not seen as often as they deserve to be. I blame Floyd the barber on the old Andy Griffith show.

    wwII Crusher hat restoration?

    crusher restoration Thanks for the tip on this maker. A few years ago, there were several decent sources of reasonable reproductions, that didn't have the plastic inside bands, etc., for example NCHS, Inc. of Springfield Va, and Garcia, and even WWII Impressions. Now these are hit or miss...

    Procrastination Station

    procrastination Dawdling is an art form. Unfortunately it's one lost on my neighbors, annoyed at seeing my patio furniture beneath six inches of snow.

    The "Two Martini Lunch"

    two martini lunch You must be an entrepenuer-owner, certainly an exception. Managers at big corporations are more prone to toxic careerism that creates so much unnecessary harm. Perhaps the banking industry here in the Midwest harbors a climate that spawns so many middle senior managers who...

    Who is today's Cary Grant or close?

    Cary Grant Hugh Grant has some of the sophisticated charm. George Clooney is more like Clark Gable, glamorous but not slick.

    Do you see your Indy hats as "formal" or "casual" hats?

    Indy hats I wear vintage fedoras almost daily in cold weather but I think the Indy high crown fedora is too vintage looking to wear to the office. I might (but have not yet) worn it casually, as I prefer the horrible knitted 'baseball cap' or even more anachronistic looking 'newsboy' cap to...

    Golden Era look-alike Peter Lorre would be lucky to look like me but he'd have to be taller.
