    Does anyone own one. Their site says made by Schott USA. Brown or black available, lifetime warranty, 10% life time discount, free shipping and one free shipping exchange. I am really thinking hard about getting on of these...

    A close up of the shoe vents. Even the tongue has a pinked edge on top. Beautiful details. http://s1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg580/enigma5086/?action=view&current=SearsMensFurnishings003.jpg

    Any idea of the age of the suits? I believe they are late 50's. They are all single needle tailored. The labels read "Individually Tailored Sears" The shoes are called "Gold Bond Deluxe" The ties have no brand name.

    Pictures of My Grandfathers Sears Mens Furnishings

    My Grandfather worked for Sears for over 50 years before retiring. I went through his skinny ties in the 80's when that was in style and also have his fedora. Recently it crossed my mind to ask if I could go through his word robe again and select clothes that I might wear. He gave me his...

    How to handle yard/estate sale thugs?

    Why not talk to the regular violators. Let them know in advance or before the sale starts, you will call the police or intend to end the pattern they have established.

    Cigarette Cases... anyone?

    This is military related, you should post this on a thread there. It has a army corps design, country, and the year 1945 which was the end of WWII.

    I have never attended Brimfield or Round Top in Texas. I am told by those who been there both are overwhelmingly large. Maybe someday congrats.

    mens wearhouse

    I should make sure I'm clear on the suit status. If no alterations have been done yet, NOW is the time to act. Call the store and ask them to suspend the tailoring. Now get yourself there ASAP. Ask the manager to confirm this suit is a best match for your size and build. I am sorry but IMHO you...

    mens wearhouse

    Once the alterations are done normally no refunds or exchanges are given. That is why I recommend talking to the manager. Tell him you relied on the expertise of the salesman. If he recognizes his sales staff steered you to the wrong size, he may make a exception. But then again he may not be...

    mens wearhouse

    I am trying to follow you here, and from what I am understanding you are questioning whether it is a correct fit. I would like to ask the following, did they measure you? That is the old fashioned way to determine size. As we age our shape changes. Most of us have a rough idea what our size is...

    What's for Dinner?

    We had the family over for Anniversary. My bro. and Sister in law were celebrating and we hosted. I went old school nothing expensive. My feelings were, let's do something that feels like a family dinner. Salisbury Steak with mashed/mashers and gravy. I must add, tons of gravy. It was a hit...

    How to handle yard/estate sale thugs?

    My pet peave which has virtually ended my yard sale and estate shopping is the following. The ad says "no early sales or no early birds". So I think, even playing field and show up early the day of the sale. Upon the start of the sale I say where are the antiques you advertised. They seller...

    If I like A-2's would I like a Schott Perfecto?

    A better pattern and a better value is, the "Legendary USA" horsehide leather made D- pocket Buco Pattern. Kicks Serious ass. The Schott has a very narrow waist, so the "Black Stallion Horsehide" is a much more modern fit, for a modern build.

    Has Anyone Attempted A Group Discount?

    Lets just say, you wanted to order from Eastman, Schott, panama hats or another vendor. Could we collectively get a group discount/rate? Has anyone tried? Sure it won't work because of price point. What if one individual collected all the moneys and we became our own buyer? In other...

    In the vintage WWII category my first would be "12 O' Clock High" made in 1949 when original era uniforms were still available. The movie trys to help americans understand in reverse history how low morale actually was overseas and what airman in certain theatres endured. If you enjoy Army Air...
