    during the golden era what was worn at a horse farm

    Dennis, Actually the modern, non-flared, would be better for my application. Here's my problem. Without going custom, the uniform stores are getting their breeches from the same few suppliers. These are made by Frontline. The Dac/Wool, and 100% wool are great material. They are designed...

    Why is the Bum Look Popular? (formally the unemployed look)

    Maybe not the manners, and morals, of the wearer. But, the manners of the people that the wearer has contact with. Whether we like it or not, we are judged by our first impression, at least until actions prove, or disprove that impression. If you're the person that polishes your shoes to a...

    during the golden era what was worn at a horse farm

    I'm curious, and I figured this would be the place to ask. Is it possible to have a pair of regular pants tailored into breeches? Or would that not work?

    Patton assasinated?

    Only in poems does the knight die in the last battle, of the last war. The only thing wrong with the assassination theory is that, we would have to believe that, the men who had a problem with Patton, for not playing by the "rules," would themselves throw away the rule book, and order him...

    Valkyrie

    I thought I was the only one.... Pearl Harbor rubs me the wrong way. Half of it was a remake of "Tora, Tora, Tora," and the other half just rewrites history. There were only 7 American pilots that fought in the Battle of Britain. The Eagle Squadron didn't come until later. None of the seven...

    U.S. Army considers new uniforms

    I was in the 28th Division PA. A.N.G. for 8 years and never heard of them. Of course Philly, is almost like a different state.

    Ladies in Vintage Jodhpurs and breeches

    Reagan may have made realized the power of media perception, from working in the movies, but he never really "saw the light." When one reporter mentioned Reagan's California ranch, and the word "cowboy" in the same breath, Regan replied, indignantly, "we ride jumping horses at my ranch." He...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Nice find, Paddy! Looks like it was made for you. Put that first picture in B&W, and I can almost hear the voice over. "The streets were dark with something more than night."

    The belt looks a little dainty, to be a decent gunbelt. Unless you're carrying a Walther PPK. Try checking out some of the Single Action Sport Shooting/Cowboy Action Shooting websites. You should be able to come up with something.

    Today in History

    Something I found interesting today. I was looking at the headlines that LizzieMaine post for us, and was wondering if, somewhere there is a December 17th, 1903 headline proclaiming the Wright Brothers first successful powered flight. I did some reading. I found this... The Wrights sent a...

    during the golden era what was worn at a horse farm

    Draws, Welcome to the Lounge! Who makes your your full dress uniform? I'm interested in getting a tunic, and breeches in dark gray. Or the dark blue breeches with the yellow stripe, and gray coat.

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Here's a good website for the Wesco boots. They offer the engineer, and the harness style, and motor patrol. They can be customized too. Also have the Dehner motor patrol boots, in the stock, and custom versions. Wesco harness .... http://www.boot.com/bwharn.shtml Wesco Boss...

    U.S. Army considers new uniforms

    The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery. (Though they have adopted the hussar uniform) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqPKBT6DDd8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fw7jeXy17KQ In all seriousness. I think a ceremonial dress uniform is all the more important, now, because the uniform of the...

    U.S. Army considers new uniforms

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Henry_William_Paget00a.jpg I think the Army should bring back the Hussar uniform. At least for the cavalry. The Marine boatcloak doesn't come close to a Hussar dolman, with the ornamental braid, and a fur lined pelisse slung over one shoulder. Then again, the...

    Westerns & Singing Cowboys?

    Hmmmm. Well,,,,,it may not be exactly 'period correct,' but, I always thought that Sharon Stone, looked pretty good, in "The Quick, and the Dead." About the only reason to watch that movie. Then again, it would qualify as a B-Movie. ;) Then again, 'period correct' for the ladies of that time...

    I haven't seen it yet. I understand Ms Kidman wears a pair of the three-strap riding boots in a few scenes. I have it "from a reliable source" that, Dehner, made her boots, for the movie. Four pair actually. Two for Ms Kidman, and two for her stunt-double. I mentioned it in the Australia...

    Western, anyone?

    Nice hat! Cowboy hats are like wine. You don't always have to spend a lot to get one that suits your taste. As far as the setting... two words, photo shop. Maybe a nice shot of Monument Valley in the background?
