    1930s Cavalry- Mechanized and Horse

    Just a thought. Since this topic is 1930s Cavalry, I would suggest that a new topic be opened for WW1 and prior Cavalry (Mexican and American). There is much info being held back because it may be for that time period. Any other thoughts are welcome.

    Vintage Riding & Equestrian Apparel

    Last Fall This is what I would usually wear when riding for fun with other members of the troop. A variety of outfits can be worn based on personal preference. For this ride, I chose a pair of vintage green whipcord breeches with grey suede knee rolls and black field boots. My horse is a 15...

    What are you wearing today??

    Chanteuse, great shots of the family. It is so rare to see the entire family involved and dress to a "T" as usual. It's great to see our past being lived through family projects and you should be proud of both your children. Make them proud you as well. The influence of you and your husband...

    1930s Cavalry- Mechanized and Horse

    Story, in addition I did take note of the McClellan saddles the mounted unit had. They looked to be real Macs and the brass beautifully polished. I don't think they'd be riding repros for sure. Beautifull mounted unit.

    Bow Ties

    Self Bow Tie - Problem? Hello all. I just purchased a black self bow tie and simply cannot figure out how the two pieces come together. The short section has a simple hook. The longer section is a straight section with the strap threaded entirely through a rectangular metal piece...

    Quirky Shirt Design?

    wintergreen, where do you get your white soft collars? I have looked around but most of them are the stiff variation. I'm looking for some that are washable and will last longer than a couple of wears. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Quirky Shirt Design?

    Shirt Design These loops are not for hanging the shirt. These shirts were designed for detachable collars and backless waistcoat. Once the collar is attached, the bow tie or four-in-hand-tie and the top waistcoat strap are threaded through this loop to prevent the tie and waistcoat straps...

    Vintage Riding & Equestrian Apparel

    My preference is based on experiences learned over the past 40+ years through trial and tribulation. First of all, it's always going to be the felt helmet with as ample protection for the skull as I can affort. This would be for general purpose riding, trail riding, etc. with no...

    Vintage Riding & Equestrian Apparel

    As for the old Mac the farm has, the key is to look closely at the saddle they do have. If the tree is in good condition (i.e. all upper straps, buckles and stitching are solid) then you have the makings for a very nice rebuild . All that is needed is to buy new lower sraps and stirrups and...

    Vintage Riding & Equestrian Apparel

    Lone_Ranger, per your request. Enjoy! As for comfort, I have ridden in McClellans for the past 3 years and find them very comfortable. The longest ride so far was the Paul Revere Ride in Boston at 16 miles as well as many rides of 10 to 12 miles as part of training. If you will be...

    Vintage Riding & Equestrian Apparel

    I will be posting that photo later this evening since I've got a concert to prepare for. I should be able to post photos by later this evening. All we ride are McClellans and I personally find them quite comfortable, in my opinion, but they do take some getting used to if you have only...

    Good points, Lone Ranger. As in everything in life, we could really break each of the three categories into numbers of differing sub-categories as you mention. I guess I was attempting to position myself at a higher level rather than getting into the weeds. For example, English breaking down...

    Dinerman, Great Photo of your grandfather. This is exactly the point I made in a previous post that there was Western Equestrian Wear, Elitist Equestrian Wear and then every day regular folks riding wear. It looks like he was also ex military but that is just an assumption on my part...

    America's Best Pizza Joints - Article from GQ

    I forgot to mention that the $13.50 is for the LARGE pizza. The small is about $9.00. The price is unheard of.
