    Horween FQHH and shoulder bags/backpacks

    This would explain the tensions in the South China Sea.

    The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.

    Old Uncle Bill! I met him a number of times in the '70's in Manhattan. One time I ducked into the bar at 1 University Place to escape a downpour only to discover him, Ginzberg, Terry Southern, and Taylor Meade sitting at a table having lunch. They invited me to join them, and, well, it was...

    What would a Janitor wear in the 1950s

    Exactly. One time my mom came home form Finckelstein's (in Baltimore) with a pair of industrial jeans and the minute I put them on my legs started to sweat. I could never understand how anyone could wear such things.

    Fedoras afield

    You're a better man than I am, Blackthorn. As I was just looking at the photos I was counting up my phobias: fear of heights, small spaces, etc. What also occurred to me was the extent humans will go to in order to protect themselves from their fellow humans. When I sailed around the Baltic some...

    What would a Janitor wear in the 1950s

    There were stores that catered to blue-collar workers: remember, we're talking pre-Walmart days. The clothes a janitor wore weren't any different from what most factory workers wore, and were made specifically for work: the only brand I can think of off the top of my head is "Big Yank," but I'm...

    Seb, you're starting to sound like my old man.

    Himel Bros. Grizzly Jacket Review

    I'd forgotten about those. When the cooler weather comes, one of my favorite combos is a pair of bottle-green cords, a brown herringbone Harris Tweed vest, a tie, and my brown Aero LHB. I get quite a few comments when I wear it, as people down here think of leather jackets as strictly a biker...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I really like both the weave and colors of that hat. If only they'd do one with a 2 3/4 brim and in a size 63 I'd buy one. Looks good on you, though.

    Budget A-1 jacket

    ^Man's right. If you want an excellent A-1 at a very reasonable price, you couldn't do better than Hawkwind Mfg. (see Merchants' section). It's a fairly new company, and they're obviously in love with what they're doing.

    I wonder if that's right.

    Beads, jewels and other adornments on M/C jackets

    I think this thread's getting back to the true meaning of leather jackets.

    Horween FQHH and shoulder bags/backpacks

    I've got two leather jackets, a brown one and a black one, and I think my wife's just commandeered the black one. I know exactly how you're feeling, though: for the first couple of years that I owned the brown Aero LHB I spread it out on my desk every night (no kidding) and checked out that...

    Himel Bros. Grizzly Jacket Review

    The Grizzly's a jacket that seems strange when you first see one but becomes more attractive the more you get used to the idea, especially with one as nice as Dude's. One combo I'd like to see more of is leather and tweed. I remember reading about a shop in Argentina that specialized in it: I...

    Freewheelers San Mateo

    Really nice design. The minute I saw it I thought of motorcycle messengers in the 1930's.

    Horween FQHH and shoulder bags/backpacks

    I usually carry my bag on my right shoulder (I have to carry a lot of heavy anthologies), so every now and then I wear it like a messenger bag to give it a change. To tell the truth, though, I don't even think about it much and just figure it's normal use. I haven't noticed any problems with the...

    Goorin Bros caps?

    Just thought I'd mention that I was down on Lincoln Road on South Beach today and stopped in at the new Goorin shop. The saleswoman was very nice and I told her about this forum, just after she paid me a nice compliment on my VS Milan. The Goorins really aren't anything special, although I saw a...
