    Best Bottles to Age

    That makes sense about whiskey, I see how it wouldn't age past the barrel. I don't think I could find any real absinthe around here, unfortunately. Just the stuff that tastes waaay too anise flavored. Anise just isn't a flavor I like at all unfortunately. So far it looks like I should...

    Best Bottles to Age

    I've decided to think waaaay ahead, and buy some good bottles of whiskey, wine, etc. to age for several years. I plan on giving some as gifts, and of course, enjoying some myself. I am a very occasional drinker, and I usually stick to a few favorite drinks. Martinis are the staple. I know...

    True Blood

    I can't believe I missed this thread. I'm really liking this show!! I've seen all but the first couple episodes, and I plan to watch them online eventually. I've still got no idea who the killer is, I just know I'm pretty certain it's a human.

    Bringing service back to Department Stores?

    Funny you use that particular example. Our McDonalds has a prerecorded greeting at the drive thru with a generic "May I help you?". It's fine as far as a greeting goes, but I know it's fake, and it bugs me that they can't even greet me, but they're more than happy to take my money. Just one...

    Loungers' Pets

    Lee, Does your new friend have a tuxedo pattern? I'm a little nuts for tuxedo cats. I have a calendar of them and that picture would fit right in! Here's my tuxedo clad friend, Henry (more pictures earlier in the thread I think)

    Khakis - which ones?

    I got two pairs of the vintage twill as well. I think they are light, yes, but still seem durable and quality items. I may just have to put them away until Spring. They will work great in warmer weather.

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    Well, this thread in particular has convinced me to buy a pipe and some tobacco and give it a shot. I don't smoke cigarettes or cigars or anything, but I've always liked the dashing look of a pipe smoker. I bid .99 cents on an estate pipe on eBay and won! $5 something total. I'm not sure the...

    Khakis - which ones?

    I went ahead and ordered two pairs of the poplin M1s on sale from Sierra Trading Post. They were 53something a pair I think. I got them in British Khaki. I've got pretty high hopes for these pants judging from what I've read on Fedora Lounge. if they pass they test I want a pair in the...

    Pipe newbie

    Well thanks a lot guys, after all this pipe talk I went and won an estate pipe on eBay. So, when it gets here and I get set up with some tobacco, I'll be sure to report back with details.

    Ever yearn for a vintage name?

    I thought he was always called Jeremiah in the Bible as well. But I'm not sure. I always heard the shortened version, Jeremy, wasn't really around at all until the beginning of the 20th century. I think there was a character in some 60's TV show called Jeremy, and that spiked the popularity...

    first kill of the year

    Hunting small game, such as rabbits, squirrels, etc is very popular in my neck of the woods, which is Missouri/Iowa/Illinois.

    What are your plans for cooking it? Squirrel stew? Squirrel fricassee? Squirrel kabobs?

    Old fashioned names new again....

    Oh gosh, I've gone and opened a can of worms. lol I'll have to give this some thought and report back. I'm curious to hear what some of the others have to say. This thread, covering baby names from the 20's through 40's is great to reference for some name ideas. Does a vintage pet name...

    Ever yearn for a vintage name?

    My name is Jeremy... not Jeremiah, just Jeremy. There are a few people who call me Jeremiah, and I don't mind it, but I'm not big on biblical names. The name Jeremy really didn't come around until the 1960's, so, not very vintage. I really like traditional English names, such as Cornelius...

    30's~40's Work Boots

    They just arrived today. Here's a picture of them laced up pretty much right out of the box. They're far from broken in, but so far, so good.

    30's~40's Work Boots

    Thanks for the pics, Dave! I'm hoping my GTs will arrive by the end of the week. By the following week I might have them broken in enough to post some pictures.

    Waistcoat Pockets: Without Purpose?

    Quite functional! I carry all sorts of things ranging from pocket watch, cell phone, to tickets, and of course, plenty of Fedora Lounge matches to pass out!
