    Let's see your mechanical watches

    Thanks! It took me a while to gather those. They're all 40'ss or 50's vintage. All were unused. I treated all with mink oil a while before placing them on the watches. At least two of them are pigskin and at least two more are pigskin lined. - Ian

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Seems the jacket is ruined with that embroidery on the right breast. Otherwise, it wouldn't be bad at all. - Ian

    Something new at Good Wear?

    Pretty damn neat, as long as you don't have to wait 2 years for one. Seems like an item like this could just be made in the specific sizes and sold. - Ian

    N-1 deck jacket ww2 carriers photos help

    ^ Speaking to that, I've seen many 60s-80s U.S. Navy permeable deck jackets with quite similar black ink stening on their backs. This WWII example, done with paint, is very similar in style. It may be a legal example of WWII era deck jacket stencling. - Ian

    That's the place! I almost mentioned that it was in the basement, but decided to leave that out. My wife, who is from NYC, went in there with my family and myself saying that she really isn't a BBQ person. However, when they brought her ribs and put rolls on the table, she did not resurface...

    Memphis! Cannot recall the name of the place, but it's within easy walking distance of the famous hotel ducks. - Ian

    Washing Unsanforized Jeans

    I don't get it, I guess. We used to always get raw/shrink to fit denim; wash and dry it. It was no big deal. This was done on a regular basis. In fact, we did it with all of our clothing. It was fine. - Ian

    The last TV series that I watched (meaning drama or comedy), and it's the first that I had watched in quite a while, was "Mad Men." I thought it was great! - Ian
