    U.S. Army considers new uniforms

    I'd like to see the US Army make a move back to the WWII uniform. Even during Vietnam (I was serving in Korea at the time) the green Class A uniform was a poor second to the WWII uniform. When the army went from the khaki-color shirt to the current mint green monstrosity, it went from bad to...

    Morality, hat size and the thrill of the find

    We cannot save them all but... I DID? :eek: :rolleyes: :whistling Well, OK, maybe just the "Project Bin" part. We definitely need ethics. I buy hats based on size 1st but also based on rarity and felt quality. Some of the hats I have will never fit my larger noggin but they are too...

    I want to have my Resistol rebuilt.

    I have not dealt with the Grant at Optimo in Bisbee, AZ. I ran across several recommendations for them while looking for someone to help out our friend in AZ. I'm thinking of giving them a try once I have a response to the email I sent this morning.

    A Safari Jacket Potpourri.....lots of pics

    My 2 cents worth #1 Woolrich:Best length, 4 large pockets, sleeve tabs, epaulettes, belted. This most closely resembles a traditional safaari jacket as I remember them. #2 Banana Republic: A tad short for my taste, no sleeve tabs, internal drawstring @ waist. This would be my second choice...

    I want to have my Resistol rebuilt.

    I just sent an email to Grant at Optimo (in Bisbee, AZ) asking this same question regarding a very old (70-80 years) felt. I wonder what he'll say.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) directed by Peter Weir. Two Australian schoolgirls and their governess go missing while picnicing and are never found. Weird pan flute music by Zamfir.

    What hat do I wear?

    You can always try a newsboy or a bowler, however... Wear what you like and don't worry about the comments. After all, Bogart wouldn't. :cool2: Our ability to comment on the look for you is hampered because worthlesswithoutpics

    Bringing service back to Department Stores?

    Not that I go shopping at a bricks and mortar store that often but, when I do, I'd appreciate having a sales associate in the area/section where I'm shopping. Personally, I'd prefer that they appear to be doing something/anything related to their job. Far too often, the sales personnel in a...
