    The Breakfast Martini

    I'm more of the Mimosa for brunch, type. If I had a martini for breakfast, I'd have to go back to bed.

    "Steak & Kidney Pudding"

    Care to translate, for those of us on this side of the Pond? I know, a Yorkshire pudding, is more of a side dish, than a dessert. What exactly is a Kidney Pudding?

    Yikes. Looks like that fellow, lost a fight with a longshoreman. The neck looks a little thicker than I had in mind, but getting close. Something along the lines of a RAF pilot, or U-boat commander, except in "commando" black instead of white.

    What is your favorite Scotch Whisky?

    Thanks for the tip! I'll have to try the 18 I did a Jameson's Irish whiskey taste test, and found that the the "regular" 12 year old was good, then they get stronger as they age. Except, at a certain point they start to mellow again, and become really good. Of course, that's the point where...

    The question is, where can I find a decent turtleneck? I want one that isn't, as thin, as a t-shirt. If I could post a picture, it would be of Michael Keaton's, Bruce Wayne. He was wearing one, in the Bat Cave. It had a ribbed knit, and was about the same thickness as a Commando sweater...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    It's not a UK/USA difference. The proper Private-eye trench, is double-breasted! The original "trench," was part of the WWI British officers uniform. Thus, the "trench" designation. By WWII, American officers had them too. By then, they didn't see much "trench" usage. They were more for dress...

    What is your favorite Scotch Whisky?

    Glenfiddich, 12 year old. I prefer it to the 15 year old. Served in a proper, Glencairn glass! http://www.whiskyglass.com/ I haven't tried the 18 year old, yet. I prefer it to the Glenlivet, and any blended Scotch.

    David Niven always comes to mind, when turtlenecks are mentioned.

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    I always wear mine unbuttoned, for quick access to my shoulder holster. ;) But, I have to stick the buckle in the coat pocket, or it has "issues" with the car door. I've ruined many a buckle that way. I don't know about the original officers coat, but the newer ones have plastic buckles...

    Rubber Bowties ? But of course!

    Does it come in a Pirelli?

    splattered paint on my Aero cafe racer

    Felix03, you'll have to let us know if the WD40 works. Or if you have to resort to other measures. It sounds like it wouldn't hurt to try it.

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Does this call for a separate thread? So, far the thread has been about the classic Good Guy/ Private Eye/ Super Spy, khaki double breasted trench. What if your taste runs to the dark side? What if, you want to be the guy, in the black trench and fedora, that is always chasing Dr Jones...

    splattered paint on my Aero cafe racer

    I think you are S.O.L. The care instructions with most of my leather jackets, warn to stay away from wet paint. Turpentine and mineral spirits will pull color, out of the leather. However, if Aero does repairs, it may be possible to have part of the sleeve replaced. I have a Taylor's...

    Travel Suits (airport and waiting around)

    (When flying) There's a school of thought that you should wear your suit coat while traveling. They way it wont get lost with your baggage, and it would be less wrinkled than packing it in a suit case. So, your mileage may vary. I'm in the market for a new suit. I'm always looking for...

    Just Who Can Wear a Uniform?

    After seeing the final results, I'd have to say Carslile, is right on target! Great pics Maggie! I'm sure your grandfather would be honored.

    was the A2 leather jacket ever worn by tank crewmen?

    Indeed. I'm sure there was some horse trading, and miss-appropriating going on there. At the end of Kelly's Heroes, one of Odd Ball's crew, is wearing an SS Panzer jacket, that he got from the German tanker. My girl-friend's father, was a pilot in the CBI theater. When the family asked him...

    Size standards changed for US clothing?

    Yet when you look at some of the high end catalogs, like RL, and A&F, the "models" all look like they are wearing clothes two sizes too small.

    Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds

    It all looks a little too "over-the-top," for me to waste $10. Reminds me of Val Kilmer, in Top Secret, with gratuitous violence.

    Coffee/ Espresso/ other

    I agree! John, we have two big chain stores, the one has very good coffee, and they do keep it fresh. The other chain, well, all I can say is that, you can eat it with a spoon.
