Historical clothing that Hollywood has trouble with
ah of course, the infamous buscadero holster. As far as I know, this has no historical parallel, and was invented on a movie set to facilitate the legendary "quick draw" — another hollywood contrivance. Gunfights in the real west were about who could aim the best, not who shot first...- Bustercat

Berlin, 1927
What a time... like climbing out of a crevasse barely alive, vowing to live like never before, with a precipice just a few feet ahead under your feet... -
Historical clothing that Hollywood has trouble with
In westerns, thou shalt not show pants worn too high, stances too delicate, or hats too reminiscent of grandma's sun topper, despite how authentic. If you dare towards authenticity, careful application of enough dirt and profanity to cover a whitechapel chimney sweep does wonders to restore...- Bustercat

Dating for Fedora Loungers?
I'm always wearing at least something vintage, my fiance does sometimes. I think we're more about what we feel looks good than trying to emulate any single era. I'm getting deeper into it. I can't remember the last time I wore jeans. We spruce up vintage for every special occasion, usually an...- Bustercat

Manhattan's gashouse district
My pleasure! I've asked about part 3, haven't heard back yet. Hearing something like this really stuns you, makes you realize how fast things move in a city — how easily history is lost. There's no hint of any of what he's talking about unless you look for it, and know what to ask. Here's more...- Bustercat

How to use real vintage phones on your cell phone line
I hope you like it as much as I do! It is exactly the same as the xlink. You can download the update software from their site and it will do the rest automatically. Besides being cheaper from radioshack, you can easily return it if it gives you problems. BTW, solved my static issue by...- Bustercat

How to use real vintage phones on your cell phone line
I am pleased. There have been some hiccups, like last week after an update I couldn't receive calls (straight to voicemail.) Re pairing the bluetooth seemed to fix it. Cons are a slight hiss on the line sometimes, and a crackle if its farther away from the unit.. but could just be some...- Bustercat

How you may live and travel in the city of 1950.
Too cool. Funny though, that the height of progress was never having to leave your building.- Bustercat

What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?
Smoking Margate all day long and being busy. Been badly needing an extra pipe or two in my rotation so I grabbed a bent stem Dr. Grabow canadian on a whim at the drug store. Smokes great. Package comes with pipe cleaner rebate card and MADE IN AMERICA BY AMERICANS in big letters. How the hell...- Bustercat
