    Typical Trousers cuts of the US Civil War period?

    Having seen some mid 1800s pants I can state that they were worn slightly higher up the waist than modern pants. Most were slightly baggy but the legs tapered from the crotch down to the ankle. Also, they were worn with braces, no belt loops on pants until the 1920s, apparently. No idea what the...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Caught my first Christmas ad on TV yesterday evening. That is so wrong.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Good luck on that, buddy. I lived in small apartments my entire life until I became tired of that lifestyle and bought a small duplex with a grass garden. Sitting in the grass, and cutting it, were a novelty and fun.....for a while. Now, twice a month over the summer you'll hear me whining "I...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    Regarding 'new stuff' in the 1980s, I was a consumer of quite a lot of it back in the 1980s and still remember the thrill of buying brand new things that I had saved up for. I still have several items that I purchased in those far off halcyon days of the 1980s. Yep, I refer to them as halcyon...

    Old love - Show us your oldest T-shirt!

    I have a Mickey Mouse T-shirt from 1978 which my cousin gave me after a trip to Disneyland that year. It still fits me (it was too large for me at the time) though I don't wear it as it is sentimental and the cotton is, after all this time, beginning to get fragile.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Watched John Wick (2014), 'starring' Keanu Reeves, the other day. Darn it, that's an hour and a half out of my life that I'll never get back! Caught a film today that I last saw as a kid over forty years ago but which I have remembered ever since. I thought that it was a American film but it...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Watched the first episode of Deutschland 86 last night. It carries on from the previous series, Deutschland 83, and continues with the further adventures of the East German Stasi agents of Martin, Lenora and the disgraced Walter. It is 1986 now and the Stasi agents Martin and Lenora are in...

    Brill Bros. G-1 label questions

    Hi. Your guess is correct if I remember rightly. I have seen this label modification in another forum (maybe here?) and the conclusion was that these were jackets that weren't used for the Navy contract and sold on to the civilian market. This jacket is a E series and the two digits after the...

    (KNIVES) Let's see some sharp pointy objects

    I bought this knife in a local thrift store the other day and am somewhat intrigued by it. I wonder if somebody can help me ID what it is, or perhaps rather what it was. To me it looks like a WWII USN knife but I'm thinking that it has been modified after the war and turned into a hunting /...

    Bad things on TV, then and now.

    As a kid in the 1970s I used to listen to my local AFN stations wherever we were living at the time. Some of the radio shows which were broadcast came from the 50s & 60s, like 'The Creeper' or something like it. One radio show I still recall was played over the Easter period and was a Sci Fi...

    75th Anniversary of Operation Overlord - D-DAY

    Hope they do better than the British post office who produced a series of D-Day stamps, one of which had an image of US troops landing on Dutch New Guinea in the Pacific! That stamp, needless to say, will not be issued after having it pointed out to them after the first draft was published.
