    Sanforized shrunk

    There was a time when you could go to a high end store and buy a shirt that was all cotton and would not shrink. You see the ads left and right in 1930's Esquires and Life magazine for the shirts that are guaranteed to shrink less than 1%. The process was called Sanforizing and you see the label...

    The American Way

    When I was growing up and lived in Texas and then moved to California the American way was a strong statement that stood for the good that other countries saw within the US culture. It truly stood for truth and justice, in my mind that was what the US was all about. This is the place where...

    New U.S. Air Force uniform protoypes

    They are the one branch that doesn't really need to swithc over to a strict camo policy as they don't really head out into the field carrying a rifle... Reproducing the Hap Arnold and Billy Mitchell styles that the Army wore in the 20's and the 40's. I like the high collared 20's style...

    Here's a stocking question

    My mother remembers that women in the 1960's would be getting their stocking mended rather than buy a new pair... even in the US women just tossed them for new ones, though in Europe they were mended. Now when I was in France last i saw many ladies taking joy in buy stockings at the local...
