    I bought an old leather bag today at a vintage clothing-shop. I managed to hack $15.00 off the sale-price, by virtue of me being a regular at said-shop, even though I rarely buy anything. The bag is in whole condition, but I would like to treat it somehow, to preserve the leather. I wonder how...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I was wearing my new Panama today. It must've been very hot, because I saw two other men (both older chaps. One in his fifties, one in his 70s/80s) wearing Panamas as well. One at the supermarket, one on the tram.

    Question about fountain pens

    I rarely post caps. It can make the pen unbalanced and that effects my writing.

    I love the binoculars. Very snappy! Haha! Thanks. I was going to use one of the hemmers (that long row of identical bits and pieces in the middle) for a sewing-project I'm trying to do. But the fabric was too thick. Had to do it the old-fashioned way.

    Good strong everyday bag?

    My dad has like four or five bags. he chops and changes between them according to what's happening. As a result, a simple request of: "Son, could you get my 'phone?" could turn into an oddessy lasting several minutes. Since I never have any idea where his phone is, or which bag it's in.

    Movies set between 1933 and 1946?

    Do you mean MODERN 'period films/historical films/dramas' set in the 1930s and 40s? Or films FROM the 1930s and 40s? I'm a bit confused here.

    Violin played on Titanic revealed for first time

    Violins are held together purely by glue and pressure (I heard somewhere that nails etc, affect the sound-quality). After being in the middle of the Atlantic, I reckon it would take a while to get it back to working order. Even if they wanted to do that.

    Ascots

    I'm not a green or a pastels colours sort of person. And the 70s seemed to be injected with that stuff everywhere. One reason why I never liked it. Although I did grow up in the 80s and 90s, which were still suffering the hangover from the 70s.

    Ascots

    That looks nauseatingly like the 1970s, an era which makes me queasy at the best of times.

    Ascots

    I think Grantway is right. They're neckerchieves or neck-scarves or something like that. Cravats are wider. I assume the dressed look would be something like this:
