    What era of dress or style doyou prefer?

    I'm a sort of 20s-40s kinda guy. I like the simplicity of it. It's simple, elegant, classic, without looking like it's trying too hard.

    How to handle yard/estate sale thugs?

    Some people are just bitches. Ignore them. Or put up a fight. Either is all they deserve. Personally, if someone that coarse were to start up with me, I'd be perfectly willing, and prepared, to give it to them right back to see if they enjoy it as much as they seem to do. And I wouldn't feel bad...

    What are you wearing today??

    Bought a really awesome ivory waistcoat yesterday at a vintage clothing-shop. Here it is. I'm going for a sort of black-and-white summer look...even though down south, it's the middle of winter!

    Nice VTG 1940s Brown Fleck 3 Piece Tweed Suit

    I never thought I'd say this...but it actually happened. Something so small that even I wouldn't be able to wear it!

    Restoring my Grandmother's Singer Sewing Machine

    My machine's a Singer, but it was made in Scotland. Would that count as a 'European' machine? I don't think it's possible to BUY the extension-bed, so I'm hoping that I'll actually be able to *make* it instead. I have measurements, and I've seen photographs. I don't think it'll be that tricky...

    My Old-Timey Shaving Odyssey

    Remember that you're buttering toast, not carving roast. A smooth, light, back-and-forth motion. No heavy-handed hacking.

    Hi Everyone! Well, we're off at the end of the month! Hotels have been booked, sights are lined up, markets and shops double-checked...for London and Edinburgh, anyway. We're staying here in London: The Grosvenor Hotel, in the heart of the West End! Built in the 1860s, it's a real...

    A Question about Typewriter Ribbons

    I've read a lot about Royal typewriters and they seem to be the best quality so far, but can anyone provide information on what quality I can expect from prewar models of these manufacturers? I'm thinking of names like... - Remington. - Smith-Corona / L.C. Smith. - Imperial. - Oliver. -...

    The devolution of our society through fashion in just two pictures.

    I'd say both. But the thing is, I refuse to go out looking like I'm a homeless bum. THAT is what I find REALLY embarrassing.

    The Original SPAM

    Invented by a Frenchman. Somewhere along the way, French cuisine must've taken a real nosedive...

    There should be a word for a person who likes old clothes

    I believe someone coined the term "Retrophile".

    Anybody Else Collect Sewing Machines?

    Hi Lark, Yes I know that. The issue is convincing my FATHER that it can be done. He's such a pessimist with this stuff.

    How old is your house?

    My house is 47 years old. Built in 1965. There are a number of houses around here that date back to the 1920s and 30s, though.

    What are you wearing today??

    This is more like what I was wearing *yesterday*, but here we are: This photo was taken by my friend, outside the charity shop where I do my volunteer work. The light grey jacket was something I bought from the shop yesterday for just $10!! It's in almost perfect condition (one teensy...
