    men's delicates (no women please)

    In a brazen attempt to rescue this thread... Having a waistband that is NOT elastic makes for very comfortable shorts. They're also not as full as elastic topped shorts so they feel much "trimmer". There's no support, per se, but there is also less freedom; think boxer briefs that have...

    Am I truly a "Golden Era" guy?

    I hear you loud and clear! In response to Simon82's comments: We have the knowledge of what the "modernity" of the time led to (and may think it good or bad; opinions differ). This gives us a totally different outlook that those who were pushing the envelope back in the "good old days"

    Powder room Finishing School

    I found it!! I was pretty sure Emily Post had something funny (and practical) on this subject. My copy is the 1956 edition: Etiquette of Gloves and Napkin Ladies always wear gloves to formal dinners and take them off at table. Entirely off. It is hideous to leave them on the arm, merely...

    In the spirit of the Queen Mary...

    It's not a movie but one episode of the "Poirot" series (The Million Dollar Bond Robbery) is set on the maiden voyage of the Queen Mary. It has some great original stock footage of the ship sailing in and out of harbour.

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    A question for the watch buffs I have an old watch that I got several years ago. It's 40s (old new stock) ; labelled FIJO/antimagnetic/Swiss made. The problem is the wristband. I've worn it out and need to replace it BUT the pins don't come out (jewellers and watch people don't believe me...
