    What Price Glory USN G1

    Does anyone have the skinny on the current version of WPG's G1? I remember their A2s were highly praised when they first came out, then less so later on. I'm looking for a G1 type specifically for a bit of a fun project (a sort of variation on the AVG theme, but a version I can actually wear in...

    Red Wing Iron Ranger Sole and Heel Repairs

    So, checking in with the hive mind on this one as I'm second guessing myself. The photo below is of the soles of my old Iron Rangers, which I bought new in I think the spring of 2013. As you can see, the heels are -finally, after over a decade of hard wear, needing repaired. Where I'm second...

    Auschwitz Anniversary

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jan/27/among-monarchs-and-presidents-focus-of-auschwitz-anniversary-is-on-50-survivors Seeing the coverage of this, I'm so pleased the focus has been not on the heads of state and the politicos, but the survivors themselves. There's a real sense that this...

    1930s Mugshots: Newcastle Upon Tyne

    https://www.bygonely.com/newcastle-upon-tyne-mugshots-1930s/ Stumbled across this link looking for something else online. A set of photos of criminal mugshots from Newcastle Upon Tyne (for those unfamiliar with England's geography, that's up in the NE corner of the country - traditionally...

    Yul Brynner's Magnificent Seven / Westworld 'Gunslinger' shirt

    I'm interesting in finding a shirt the same as this one, worn by Yul Brynner in two of his iconic roles - his turn in The Magnificent Seven, and his appearance as 'the Gunslinger' in Westworld, which echoed the same character. This is the actual shirt: Any leads? It's not especially Western...

    Snugging up penny loafers fit

    Question for those who wear penny loafers. I have one pair that are a little loose in the hell (but fit great everywhere else. Would a pair of those silicone heel-cups you see sold for joint pain snug them up more successfully than a stick-on heel pad?

    DEEP Ribbons.

    This fellow may be familiar to some: Mr Dave Vanian of The Damned, the first of the acknowledged English punk bands to get to vinyl, beating even the Pistols. Dave has always been the best dressed man in punk rock - and the only man I've ever known who dresses *down* to go on stage. Lovely...

    Any Hebrew speakers in the Lounge?

    Bought a hat on eBay last week. A wide brimmed, high crown Borsalino in black, lovely hat. It came with a plastic hardshell hat case. Seller also in England, but either the case or most likely case and hat together originated in NY given the branding. It's a style of hat that would be comonly...

    Turnbull & Dunn Caps

    https://www.turnbullanddunn.co.uk Any one familiar with this brand? I can't find any sign of pricing on their website, which likely means I can't afford them, but curious to know of anyone here has seen them? I stumbled across the website on a random google...

    The Daisy Mae work hat, denim to HBT 1941 - did the pattern change?

    Many years ago, I had several Nam-style boonie hats that I wore a lot in Summer. Those went by the wayside eventually, but earlier this year I decided to experiment with their predecessor, the Daisy Mae. Picked up a denim Bronson one online, and found it a great, practical hat for dress down...

    Knit T-shirts / short-sleeve sweaters

    So. Over the last couple of years I've picked up five of these knit-cotton t-shirts with a motif machine-knitted into them. (Mine are all from Collectif.co.uk , purchased in half-price sales. Lovely things, machine-wash really well.) This one is a favourite: Scuse the context of the photo...

    Studio 180 : Asteroid City Exhibition, London, July 2023

    At time of writing, Wes Anderson's Asteroid City is playing in UK cinemas. I adored it myself - though I'd happily have watched it for the wardrobe alone. Studio 180 has an exhibition of costumes and props from the film currently running in London https://www.180studios.com/asteroid-city . The...

    Stratton straw Police hats

    Anyone got any experience eithexoerience with the Stratton police campaign / sheriff hats, particularly the straws? Curious as to whether these 'civilianise' well, the sheriff model in particular. Are the holes in the brim for the chinstrap especially obvious?

    Peter Fields clothing

    Anyone familiar with the Peter Fields brand? I quite like the look of these - https://peter-fields.com/products/ghurka-pant-in-military-herringbone?variant=33302280699986 Can't quite tell whether the waist has been cut down to modern lows, though. (Don't care if they're milspec accurate, but I...

    Harry Palmer's Coat: the 'car coat' length mac

    It's funny the things you occasionally develop an interest in after never liking them before... I'm a big fan of the traditional, DB, belted trench coat. Sometimes, though, the minimalism of the unbelted, single-breasted option - especially on a rainy day in Summer - is just the ticket. The...

    Olderbest.com corduroy suit

    Has anyone ever bought anything from olderbest.com ? They have a fair few nice pieces, including a relatively inexpensive corduroy suit, on offer, but I've seen one too many websites advertising on Facebook which are clearly based on the business model of lifting someone else's photos, and then...

    Pendleton 49er Jacket for Men

    I've had a couple of these Pendleton 49er jackets over the years and loved them very much. I'd like to have some made for me going forward. Have looked for repros, but they all seem to be the ladies' versions. I'd be happy to find a pattern, but again can only see ladies versions online. Can...

    Bob Dong Wabash Cap, Sz 55-56

    This is Edward. Edward is sad because a silly company on the interwebs sent him a cap that was too small.... and another that was wrong entirely. The kindly god of Aliexpress only required him to return one, so Edward now has a full refund on his purchase price, one hat which is lovely but -...

    Henry Jones Snr's Grail Diary

    Seems the best place to put this one.... I've fancied the idea of a Grail diary repop for years, but all the ones I've seen for sale have been fairly scary money. This looks to be a reasonable balance of nice and price...
