    Where to find high waisted trousers

    Got myself a pair of vintage RAF braces/suspenders. Now I am looking for some nice high waisted trouser to go with them. Not heavy uniform trousers - more in the line of jeans or chinos. Any web suggestions?

    To draw the line.

    A very intersting question was raised in the Blazer thread. Is it or isn't it ok to wear regimental buttons, ties, suspenders etc. if you have not served in that regiment. The question came because I have some vintage RAF buttons sewn on my blazer. They are the kings Crown WWII types. And not...

    It's my face - isn't it?

    Ladies (especially) and gents. I have a question. Something has puzzled me during the last week. How come your face becomes public property, the moment you start growing a beard or moustache? The moment it's there it's like everybody is free to tell you what they think about it. (Especially...

    Ace in a day

    Not many pilots became ace in a day (= 5 EA shot down on the same day). But Pilot Officer Albert Lewis made it even twice. First time was on the 19th of may 1940 when flying with 85 Sq. in France during the Blitzkrieg, where he bagged 5 Bf 109E's. Second time came with the 249 Sq on...

    Irvin jacket disappearing from e-bay

    How come the auction for an original Irvin jacket, suddenly ends several days before it should end? Can the seller withdraw it? Can somebody contact the seller and give him an offer, he can't turn down? The price for the jacket was 10£ or $ - just dont remeber. There were no bids and the...

    Why closed threads?

    I am still wondering why so many threads are being closed down. Some just after two or three entries. Lately a very interesting one. "Photo to drawing." An intersting subject to all who wants to create different portraits. Drawn portraits are vintage to my mind. We still have a thread "Show us...

    No more girls and gents?

    I see that two large threads have been cleaned out in the aftermath of the crash. Maybe it's right trying to keep this lounge as a pure vintage/golden age thing instead of a kind of social / "cyberdatingsite". And then again: I think it would be nice to have a picture to add with a name...

    Airwar over Denmark

    Just posted this link http://www.flensted.eu.com/ in the Danish movie thread. It's a very interesting site with information on all the planes shot down/crashed/landed in denmark from 1939 to 1945. Both allied and German. The author also tells the story of what happened to the crews. Lots of...
