    Priestly Clothes

    Good to hear! As someone who has accepted (although on the Protestant side), I wish you well in your path. My suggestion for you is to examine one of the very few sites on the web that sells Amish clothing, or clothes made for that specific sect. Their clothes are hand-made, no brand names, and...

    Your Favorite Band of Brothers Episode

    Wish I could remember the name, but when they find the Eagle's Nest. Just the sight of all that grandeur of long vanished houses and hotels, combined with the well deserved vacation our boys got...good stuff.

    A saetey razor, a safety razor, my kingdom for a saftey razor!

    I inherited my grandfather's entire shaving kit, and have been nervously eyeing the DE. What have you to say on whether or not this will become a blood bath to the inexperienced? I don't want to use the vintage blades he had, as I'm not quite sure if they would be servicable (he died in 1964!)...

    Book Recommendation: Summer at Tiffany

    Sounds delightful! I will actually make a trip to the Library to see if they have it.

    New Air Force Uniforms to be made by Brooks Brothers

    Good gravy is that how much they cost?!? Well, no such luck on a reserve Second Lieutenant's salary. :(

    FS/FT: Good Wear Bronco repro A-2, size 44

    Sure wish I had something you wanted, or a few more dollars. On to the real question though: The size is really off that much? I'm a 40 in most coats...so a 44 is what I'd need? Hmm...

    SchoTT "A-2" Question...???

    Uuum, from what I've heard the Castro district may be where you want to go to find guys who are INTO leather, if you catch my meaning. But I've never been, so just a little heads up! ;)

    Briefcases

    Now I know why Saddleback has a sales pitch instead of a price list when you hit products! I'm very impressed with what they put together, and I'm sure its top notch. But for $1500 for a SUITCASE, I could buy a vintage suitcase every time I travelled, throw it away at the end, and still have...

    Stiff Starch Shirts: The Japanese Method

    Choeki, a simply fantastic tutorial. I recommend this for "sticky" status! Absolutely top notch. I may print it out and keep it in my dressing-room!

    Should I sell reproduction WWII paperwork?

    Hey all. Before my shift into the ministry and the education there, I was a graphic designer. I've inherited a fairly massive amount of WWII era paperwork, from ID cards to ration books to all kinds of stuff. I see from some websites that people are selling repro paperwork at a decent price...

    Oklahoma & MO Ice Storm

    I've never been one to comment on a ladies age, but you're either very tech-savvy for a senior citizen, or you've got a Delorean in your garage I'd like to take a look at. ;) And yes, we here in Missouri are hoping the temps stay up so it doesn't get too bad. Wife and I both commute about an...

    How much stuff did these 40's guys own?

    Thanks for the stories Bill! I really enjoy the first hand accounts. Glad a thread I started so long ago can still generate good conversation. That said, in the time since this conversation, I've fond the most "vintage" thing I can do is cut down on my stuff! I find it easier to live a...

    Anime anyone?

    Well, all these are pretty cheesy to me. Go back to the golden age of anime – the 80s. Maison Ikkoku is a great series for romance, Ranma for comedy, and Macross for sci fi action (especially the latter half of the series. Go back to when flash wasn't such a big part of things – and story was.

    Instead of Where is Waldo! Where is Jesus?

    Hmm. Well, as much as I'm a representative of the man upstairs' fan club, I refuse to send Christmas cards at 47 cents a card, or whatever it is these days. I'll just put them in the boxes at church. Yeesh! No wonder email's so popular.

    My New 1926 Apartment

    My jealousy runs into the profound depths. I cannot believe your luck! I second the demand for decorated photos.

    How do I shine the chrome on a 1959 Kirby?

    I've written to a number of sites/experts asking about how to do this. Anyone with some suggestions? Thus far, my tools are a dremel with polishing bit. Not sure about what sort of polish I need, or if its a good plan to use the dremel...

    Gentlemen: The most beautiful actress from the beginning of film up to the 50's....

    It's really not fair to mortal women to bring the name up, but Audrey Hepburn of course. But I would more place her among "goddesses" than mere mortals. I think this should be called "up to the 50's (excepting Audrey)". I have no bias, I assure you.

    A-2 Wannabee Jackets

    Looks wonderful! Please show the back soon. I'd love to try my hand at this, and I'd like to see your efforts.

    Found: Schott A-2 Style Flight Jacket, IS-674-MS

    I had to get mine pre-bar fought in, if that's a phrase. A Nazarene minister doesn't have too much occasion for bars (or hopefully fights) so glad I got those in early. LOL...how would I ever get it looking this great without someone to help me along? Pics forthcoming if wifey will cut my hair...
