    Goatee anyone?

    Personally don't care at all with modern clothing. With a vintage style outfit...it jumps out and doesn't work. It's kind of like wearing a nice suit with a baseball cap.

    Brims - How do you like them

    I just got my Akubra stylemaster a couple days ago and it came with brim up. As mentioned above, attitude plays a big part I think. I feel a bit more jaunty, for lack of better terms, with it up and more stylish with it down.

    I will try to get some more photos of the jacket soon. As for the pants, yes...the color is off. I've thought about dyeing them, but not sure how the faux shearling lining and leather straps would look.

    Those darn moth nips......

    I will assume most of you have picked up suits at one time or another that have small holes from moths or whatever. Is there recommended way to fix these? Thread and needle and just sew it up? Backing piece of material? Any pointers would be great. Thanks, Marcus

    20's fashions??

    Gents, So I'm getting pretty lucky on ebay lately and have managed to score 3 suits in the last couple months for the 30's-40's era (pic coming as soon as alterations are done). What I was wondering about is what does one do for reaching back into the 20's era? I notice that there are...

    Vintage WW2 Mustaches

    If I were writing a handbook for a US reenacting unit, I would discourage, if not ban, the wearing of moustaches all together. I have to say they are WAY over-represented in the US reenacting scene. Way to many 'staches and sunglasses running around. Did they exist yes, majority of photos say...

    Just Who Can Wear a Uniform?

    Let me premise this by saying I'm a former Marine, 1996-2004. Personally I have no issues whatsoever with a woman dressing up in a man's uniform for what you are doing. In fact, ALOT of guys I served with (including me) have had our wives or GFs dress up in our uniforms because we thought it was...

    LUFTWAFFE jackets - Eagles who Dare to Wear..!

    My wife and I actually made them. It was a PAIN!! No pattern, just photos and a couple of measurements. Color didn't turn out the way I wanted, but it has all the features of the real thing. Currently want to make a summer weight version, because it's just to hot for these (fully lined) in...

    LUFTWAFFE jackets - Eagles who Dare to Wear..!

    Not sure. Did they ever make a Brown version? You can't see it in the photo but mine has zippered sleeves and the SoF version looks like the buttoned type.
