Origins of The Military Hairbrush??
Does anyone know the origins of the oval, stiff bristled "Military Hair Brush"? Was this a standard issue part of the DOP kit at some point? Thanks!- B R A N D X®

A new member's new hat, or, always check out vintage stores!
My friend, it is my opinion that the semi-colon is the most underused punctuation in the English language; you don't overuse it at all, but simply use it correctly! Now I hope I used it correctly!!!:) Thank you for single-handedly restoring my faith in the younger generation!- B R A N D X®

A new member's new hat, or, always check out vintage stores!
That is truly a great looking hat and a remarkable find. :offtopic: I hope you will take this in the spirit that it is intended, but I have to also say that it is very refreshing to read something so well written by someone in your age bracket. I think the ability to use proper grammar...- B R A N D X®

An effective, modern alternative (gasp!) is Jack Black's Pomade. Okay it's not The Real Deal, but it holds well, washes out easily and has no real scent to speak of so it doesn't interfere with the wonderful smell of my Pinaud aftershave powder.....which my wife loves.:D- B R A N D X®

Old Radio Anyone? Help or Advice
This is the best source I have found. Michael is a detail fanatic. I'm working with him now to have a console restored. He is trying to figure out the best way to wire in an Aux In jack so I can play an iPod though it. I have one iPod that is fully loaded with nothing but old-time radio...- B R A N D X®

WWII Khaki Trousers - Originals and Reproductions
Unfortunately that's a free market system at work.......the market dictates what survives and what doesn't. Minimal demand equals a discontinued product. And yes.....their prices are steep, but this is primarily because they are made in America and Americans won't work for $5.00/day. Oddly...- B R A N D X®

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Moss Green Trackside I know there are always questions about felt colors etc and I received a couple of PM's about Art's Moss Green looking darker and more brown on his felt strip sample card. If your monitor is calibrated (and if it isn't it should be) these shots will give you an accurate...- B R A N D X®

ideaguy, I use a Nikon D2Xs and this shot was taken with the NIkkor 28-70mm f/2.8 lens. I shot aperture priority mode so I chose the f/stop and let the camera vary the shutter speed as the light changed due to clouds passing overhead outside my window. I also shot test frames for each light...- B R A N D X®

toobacat, I'm not sure about the crown height, but the Sterling Beaver is slightly higher than the other two. I believe Art lists the Trackside at a 5 1/2" height. On my calibrated monitor, the Trackside's felt color is exactly as it is in real life. On the swatch card that Art sent, the color...- B R A N D X®

Viper Man, I won't state an outright favorite, but I will say that b/w the Optimo and the VS the VS represents the better value at a couple hundred dollars less. The vintage ribbon of the VS also makes it seem a bit more special and the rich red lining is gorgeous against the Moss Green felt. I...- B R A N D X®

'The Hatters' from Sunday's NYTimes
I bought my first Fedora from the gentleman in the first photo......... And Besdor....just so you know, they were a little less than friendly to a man who at that time knew little about fedoras. I guess they get a lot of tourists wasting their time so I am more than happy to cut them some...- B R A N D X®
