    Please help me source a western belt buckle set like this one?

    My grandfather had a number of western spurs, bolos, and belts w/ similar designs from 1950's Mexico.

    Debacle On 34th Street

    This is why shopping in London, Paris or Rome is better than the U.S. I mean that. Period hands down. I will continue to shop when I am on holiday.

    Moments of Doubt...

    I can see your point, because occasionally it happens to me as well. For example, the wife and I have a events to get dressed up. She says, that we don't match because I want to wear vintage. So we find a way to compromise.

    The Best Looking 1950s Field Cap

    The Ridgeway field cap reminds me of the Fidel Castro fashion statement. The M-1951 would be my choice you have shown. I would lean toward the A-3 mechanics cap which surely must have been worn into the early 50's or until supplies ran out...

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    Sorry too many Indiana Jones movies. I remember one is worn by a black boat Captain. They were trying to find "a boat for passage" at night on a wharf. Looking forward to wearing mine on the motorcycle this fall.

    The lost art of dressing for the occasion

    Regarding the wedding picture. It seems especially out of place considering her choice of a traditional wedding gown. At the least they should be consistent.

    Cute Retro Appliances

    Olive that looks like one of the first generation electric ice boxes. You can see it retains the original ice box design w/ the compressor on top. Included is a little information on ice boxes and the ice industry. My grandfather's family were poor so they went to a lake in Wisconsin and cut ice...

    The lost art of dressing for the occasion

    It is amazing how (hypersexual) tight and short girls clothing is today. Including clothes in sizes made (ages 7-14) for elementary age children. I recall in 2011, the uproar in the media over Abercrombie selling thongs that were adolescent sizes and w/ "cherry's", "eye candy" "kiss me" and...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    We did a blind taste test. Only I knew the brands. I served my buddies the following in order Grey Goose, Ketel One, Stoly, Monopolowa and well I can't remember the fourth brand. They each ate a soda cracker and a sip of water between each sample. All either preferred or had Monopolowa tied for...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hey James, I beg to differ. Research the process of distillation. You will see that the starches in potatoes convert to alcohol more pure than wheat. Plain and simple. Proof is in the pudding. Just try it blind. Monopolowa

    Golden era mug shots - Newcastle.

    One upside is, you can now tell something about the person by their clothes. Back in the day, thugs dressed well to project a positive image of themselves. Now that has changed. I have heard in inner city's the Jehovah's Witnesses have currently been falsely been identified as CIA or FBI due...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Vodka tonic w/ lime made w/ Monopolowa. A Polish recipe vodka made from distilled potatoes. So very sweet and clean. I cannot buy it here in Iowa. But stock up whenever I travel West. Do a blind taste test. It will win every time, even against Chopin brand which cost's 3X more. FYI, I have...

    The Cap Faction

    I ordered four newsboy caps from The Village Hat Shop during the Labor Day Sale. Looking forward to receiving my 8 panels. I was informed they have already shipped. Very pleasant to have fast service and a update.

    Park service hat reuse?

    I would say wearing a full uniform of any kind w/ in its specific jurisdiction is inappropriate. For example, a military uniform worn on a govt. base or a DNR/Parks uniform in a state park. But wearing a part of a uniform, such as a hat or jacket to the store or around town should not...

    Opinions: Legendary Brand Buco J-24 D-Pocket H.H.

    A update: my jacket arrived and I couldn't be happier. The jacket was true to size w/o guessing what to add or subtract. The horsehide is superb. As for the stitching, it is symmetrical and correctly spaced; as should be expected. I see no imperfections in the the leather. I have owned a...
