    The Martini

    For a historical version I just happened to find this on the side of a 30s shaker. Martini 1/8 Italian Vermouth. (1/4 oz) 1/4 French Vermouth. (1/2 oz) 5/8 Dry Gin. (1 1/4 oz) 1-Angostura I added the oz information. Dolin Dry Vermouth is a good French vermouth Tanqueray 10 Gin would make a...

    The Martini

    Just had a Martini at the Ritz in London and it was fantastic. I'm pretty sure they use one measure of vermouth and that it is stirred and not shaken. Tanqueray 10 Gin, Dolin Dry Vermouth, Orange Bitters and Garnish of Lemon after a twist.

    The Fedora that fits your face.

    I'm not sure that this has not already been posted here but I found this just before I went on my recent holiday as I was looking to do some colour matching when deciding to take a hat. Upshot a steely grey looks petty good with everything. There is also some information on colour matching as...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Yamazaki 12 Year Old which was a recommendation and I must say a good one. Very well priced and a nice smooth drop, especially for the price.

    FS: Wested Indy Jacket in UK

    I would grab this myself if A: I lived in the UK and B: If I didn't have one in Goat. It's my everyday beater leather jacket and I wear it more than my much more expensive jackets. All it gets is a rub down with leather dressing a couple of time a year and it is aging nicely after 3 years of...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Mountcastle slouch hat with puggaree removed. I picked this up off ebay for a summer hiking hat because it has a wide brim and a chin strap. A quick clean and steam and it was ready to go. Well that and I had to redo the chin strap. It seems many owners get lazy and just staple the strap to the...

    ruined 1940s uniform

    How about you frame the whole thing, much like a jersey/sports memorabilia. You could include the service record and medals.

    Fishermen's sweaters site

    I picked up a Gansey from the same batch which is a little big and Pete gave me some instructions to shrink it down a little. I also have a Ecru chunkie on order as well and if that's spot on will get a navy and green as well. Peter is a nice guy to deal with and doesn't even take payment until...

    Berets, Anyone?

    It was raining again today and I for some reason thought back to the weekend and how my beret performed in the rain. 3 hours and it was fairly damp on top which is fine but what if I'm out hiking in the rain for 8 days. I was then thinking about police covers and wondered if I could MacGyver a...

    Johnny Depp's Latest Hat...

    I also find it hard to believe he has no idea of his hat size. That's like saying I have no idea what size my pants are.
