    Cape Sheep Leather question..

    I have an Eastman Leather/Levi Vintage jacket in cape sheep. Mine is actually a much heavier/thicker hide than I expected. A bit stiff in the beginning, but it softened pretty quickly. Maybe somewhere between a cowhide and horsehide. Mine also has a lot of surface grain/texture. It's a...

    My Hats

    Would you mind coming to Texas and wearing it? We could use some cooler weather :D That $2 hat from Lebanon is pretty slick. Very nice find. Marc

    Second-thoughts on vintage wearing in public...

    :offtopic: That get-up should get you plenty of positive attention. Not to discourage you from dressing up in the least, but don't be surprised if your in the minority. I went to my brothers wedding rehearsal dinner with my Dad and we both showed up in suits thinking that most folks would...

    How do you take your coffee?

    I've tried a few (my parents are flavored coffee nuts). If I drink flavored coffee Hazelnut is my favorite, but I prefer a basic cup of joe. Flavored coffees seem to work best in a light roast and really get kicked up a notch when you add a little cream and sugar. Flavored dark roasts are a...

    Maybe you were around back then?

    Interesting discussion! I'm not really sure about this one. I've alsways had this strange feeling I was run straight through with a blade when I lay down. Never really been able to explain it based on my experiences, so I've wondered if it's a lingering memory. But I remain unconvinced as of...

    HAT SIZE 7.5 ANYONE?

    7-1/2 to 7-5/8 Big noggin here too. I waver between a 7-1/2 and 7-5/8, usually landing on the side of the 5/8. Sure makes vintage hat buying a real chore! Marc

    Do your best/worst!

    Sideburns and fedoras... When I was heavily into the rockabilly scene I'd hear a lot of Elvis comments. They were always meant to be a negative, but I kind of got a kick out them. On the other hand, comparisons to the 90210 guys was something I always hated. I had sideburns long before those...

    More surrealist fun!

    "The item was select! Very fine packaging. August delivery. Seller is optimum. A+!" Funny stuff. When set to "frivilous language" it reminds me a lot of those bad Japanese to English translation websites.

    Vintage music with a Latin flair.

    Salv, Tin Tin Deo is a true all time classic. James Moody's version is great, but I'm partial to Dizzy's take on it. You ever heard the version by Mike Longo at the Detroit Jazz Festival? Good stuff. One of those live recordings that really captures the energy of the crowd. Mjr. Nick, I...

    Vintage music with a Latin flair.

    Latin Jazz Great topic - I love latin jazz! Tito is classic, I dig his stuff. You should give Eddie Palmeri's early stuff a listen (think 60s). Good stuff. It's a little hard to come by, but thanks to the internet can be found. Cal Tjader also has some incredible stuff if you like your...

    Are We Not Male?

    Hello folks, This is my first post here at the "new" digs - a good topic to start with. I'm so tired of all the ninnies with their finger wagging about how I should behave as a man. This combined with the rampant PC nonsense makes me want to run for the hills! My only saving grace is...
