    Finnish Mugshots from the 1920s and 1930s

    straight neck or roll neck nautical style pullovers under a suit jacket with a flat cap was a popular look among dissident working class youth in Britain and France in the 1930s. They were typically worn tucked into the trousers with a belt not braces. Check out Chevalier as an Apache here, from...

    Proper made trousers!

    I saw some Hebtroco trousers when they first started - good quality modern trousers using some of the fine fabrics still available in the area. But totally modern in style and of no interest to me personally. If you are in the area I recommend a visit to Spencers Trousers situated on the A646...

    Windows10, anyone having probs after downloading it ?????

    I had a ton of trouble which wasted two days of my life. First issue was the actually download which kept failing. When it finally installed, the AV (Bitdefender) appeared to have been deleted. In fact it was just the shortcuts and icons, AV was there in programs but no way to open it. So I ran...

    Denim is Inappropriate for the Golden Era

    not just "before the 1950s"...throughout the 1950s and 60s jeans were looked upon as low class and associated with rebelliousness and juvenile delinquency. Plenty of cafes and pubs here in the UK wouldn't let you in wearing jeans (or leather jackets) well into the 1970s. Which is exactly why we...

    Why does Indiana Jones wear a leather jacket in the dessert?

    I can think of several reasons why you should rethink your position on this.... 1] Harrison Ford made these films as a middle-aged man (36 when he made the first, 58 when he made the last) 2] The Indiana Jones character is supposed to be the same age as the actor playing him (i.e. born...

    1920s WIDE BRIM BRITISH FLAT CAP (EU 57-59)

    yes, there will be Christmas after all chez NATC! I wasn't surprised, the last one I sold went for about the same. While 1940s caps can be found without too much effort, these '20s caps are really rare. Incidentally, a little detective work tells me the buyer is probably a Lounger. I...
