    An Inconvenient Truth - Moved From The Motion Picture Forum

    Another Alternative view I must admit that I have not seen this movie and probably won't, however I am aware of it and have heard discussion of it in various forums. I have just finished reading a great book by Michael Crichton (of "Jurassic Park" fame) called "State Of Fear" it is a good...

    High waisted trousers w/ short inseams

    Your Most Misunderstood Piece of Vintage

    I too wore Clamdiggers! Funny that men's calmdiggers would come up here! My cousin has a 4th of July picnic every year and he has become the keeper of my grandfather's super 8 family movies. My grandfather filmed family get togethers and took slides at every opportunity and all of us used to...

    Vintage White Suede Shoes GREAT!

    I bought a pair of these shoes late last summer and was very happy with them. They seem to be NOS shoes and were very clean and in an original box. However I will say that shipping seemed to take longer than normal. I'm used to buying Ebay items from sellers in the USA and receiving same in a...

    Seeking some advice!

    I've seen some 100% silk pants on our favorite auction site by both Tommy Bahama and Nat Nast and was wondering if anyone has experience with their fit (long rise?) and construction details? Any help would be appreciated, I've come to value the opinions and ideas expressed here highly!

    SAFARI SUIT II

    Can anyone provide some insight on this item that just ended on the famous auction sight? I was outbid but I must confess to a little hesitancy on my part. It looks kind of like the suit Chad Sanborn won some months ago if I remember correctly but those images seem to be gone. I can't tell...

    Circa 1900 - 1910?

    Try these for starters Welcome to The Lounge! Sounds like a great idea. People in the cowboy action shooting hobby regularly attend the equivalent of Victorian Dress Balls after major competitions and consequently there are quite a few vendors that supply such clothing. Victorian fashions (at...

    Were They Really White Fedoras Back Then ?

    Or Green? I was watching the 1933 fiilm "42nd Street" with Ruby Keeler and enjoying the great suits, hats etc. The director in the story, Julian Marsh was at the first audition for the chorus girls in a great medium toned double breasted suit, that I assumed was gray or blue and had on a very...

    A cool, classic knife

    Feltfan, Try a Chive! Hey Feltfan have you seen the Ken Onion "Chive"? Seems to fit some of your criteria, my son has one and it's a cool little knife. It has a saftey lock to keep it from opening in your pocket but that sort of defeats the speed factor of the torsion assisted opening. If I...

    Adding a rope?

    Try the cotter pin method ;) Hi! People in the cowboy hat world attach stampede strings with small cotter pins included with many of the ones for sale. I believe the pin is spread slightly to pass around the stitches between the sweatband and the hat and then spread at 90 degree angles on the...

    Double Pistols

    Just My 2 cents Well let me try to give some perspective. In the days of single shot, flintlock and later percussion pistols, it was common for people going into harm's way to carry several pistols because reloading was slow, cavalry soldiers carried pommel holsters with pairs of pistols...

    Howdy folks! I have a question and if its already been asked and answered feel free to redirect me. How much can we stretch a quality felt hat? I'm always seeing hats I'd love to have on Ebay that are smaller than my 7 3/8 or 7 1/4 long, can I expect to make a 7 1/8 work without removing the...
