    What time period would you live in, and where, if you had to for one year?

    I voted for the Depression; 1929-1939. A lot of the things I collect (or covet) were manufactured during this era.

    Show us your photography

    I was out on the town a couple of nights ago, and photographed this along the riverbank: The carriage is actually navy blue. I'm not sure how well that shows up in the picture. Yes, it is a real coach-and-pair. Not some sort of model. The coachman had parked it here at the end of a run, and...

    Any vintage alternatives to the trench coat?

    Hah. They'd hate a friend of mine. He's got one of those jet black, floor-length overcoats.

    Any vintage alternatives to the trench coat?

    I suspected as such, but didn't want to say so.

    Any vintage alternatives to the trench coat?

    Why can't you wear a trenchcoat to school? Is there some sort of uniform going on?

    Could you survive?

    You could immigrate to England. A lot of places in the 1930s were scary or dangerous. China, Japan, Germany, and perhaps to a lesser extent, India.

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    Yes, that's correct. I object to it because well, it just seems unnecessary. I don't see why they have to do it. That's all.

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    I'm not saying that it's effeminate to carry a bag. I'm saying that it lacks sexual security, if you get my drift, to call it a "manbag". Why do we have to make all these stupid words up these days? Man-cave. Mansscaping. Mantiques. What, we don't have any balls anymore?

    The Cap Faction

    I thought I posted these SOMEWHERE, but I can't find the thread. So here's my caps... This is my Irish 8-panel tweed cap... ...And this is my blue (corduroy?) flat cap... This one has no indicator of place or person of manufacture. Just a size-tag: 59.

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    I bought this wooden box at the local charity-shop for $8.00. It looked the right size, and I bought it, sides-unmeasured, for the specific purpose of housing my inkwell and pens and other such nicknacks... As you can see, the results are excellent. My inkwell fits into it as if the box...

    The Orient Express

    Congratulations on the wedding-anniversary. According to a travel show I watched once, they said that the Orient Express is on the 100 things to do before you die. So it must be good. It may not be the original one, but what we have today is still great. Frankly, I'm amazed it survived this long.

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    Unfortunately, I carry a lot of things with me when I go out, and for a long time, I've relied on a satchel or a bag or something to carry my crud around in. Not a man-bag. Not a murse. Not a man purse. A bag. Call it what the hell it is, please. None of this famous 21st century masculine...
