    Why were the 70s such a tacky decade?

    So true, the 70s and 80s were tough all the way, Holyoke Mass paper mills were going out of business. Ware Mass had a shoe factory that my mother would take us to get seconds but we didn't care. getting your new Pro Keds was a really big deal back then. I remember back then adults complaining...

    Why were the 70s such a tacky decade?

    About 1972 my mother tried to get welfare but we were refused because we lived in a rural area, She was told we would have to move to Holyoke Mass which was and still is a dangerous city. We did get large tins of USDA peanut butter, butter, spam and some other foodstuffs. That was some of the...

    Pinky rings

    I have noticed in quite a few old movies from the 30s and 40s a lot of well dressed men wore pinky rings. I happen to really like them and wear one but I get a lot of nasty looks as this seems to turn a lot of people off both male and female. Anybody else here like Pinky rings?

    Why were the 70s such a tacky decade?

    advice wanted on Samuelson suit

    Thinking of buying this as a summer suit for church and whatever else. All the measurements seem right except the length of the jacket would need to be shortened as my other suits are 32" in length in the back. Can this jacket be shortened without making it look goofy. I am 6'1 215 with Muscular...

    Nice jacket that would fit me. I'll see what my meager tax return brings

    PLEASE..I'm Begging..someone buy this before I do!

    I messaged the seller about outside sleeve length and he said 23.5" which seems very short to me. They may be closer to 25" the way I measure but just can't take a chance on that one
