Nick, that's a nice looking, crystal ashtray. Cigars, cigarettes, or Tiparillos?

I've been retired for 4.5 years. Every day is a Saturday, except we only go to Mass one of those Saturdays. I'm losing my socialization skills. Nothing quite like coffee and B.S. first thing in the morning. So, I'm planning to go back to work part time when the current District Attorney for LA...

My jumper with the cigarette pocket. UCLA Bruins Baseball cap, 1940-41, Buck Compton and a lad with a bit of promise, Jackie Robinson. My new 37-J1, fits just like John Wayne's in They Were Expendable. They put the zipper box and slide on the wrong side (more on that if I don't get a response)...

Very nice. The shirt's a nice shade. Wash the pants a few more times, maybe in a capful of bleach or color remover. It's the first thing I do after I've tried the fit and know it where it will shrink. Cold water if there's no room for shrinkage. Slowly, and gradually, not a big dump of bleach on...

I love my jumper (dungaree jumper, taken from 1941 regs). Goes great with well-worn khakis, uh, karkees. They look very nautical over a chambray shirt. You might even look like Cary Grant in Father Goose. But those split rings will snag the crap out of a knit sweater worn underneath. Beware. And...

Ensign Pulver meets They Were Expendable. The shirt arrived from China the other day. The seller is VTGDR. I've gotten a couple chambrays from them. This has shrunk, in hot water and hot dryer, to my size, which is getting lower, and the shirt began as a XXL. It arrived in an acceptable...

Sorry, I didn't see this till today, 6 April. I ordered 34 waist, and that's what they were, with a wee bit of slack, and still are after numerous normal wash and dryer on high. When I get repro stuff like this, I beat it like a red-headed stepchild. First is test the fit. Then wash with small...

The Japanese, whatever segment they were, started buy our worthless WW2 surplus junk in the '80s, like the 1918 canvas .45 pouch that I still have that's marked 19¢. They paid zip zilch nada for it. There was so much money in their economy at the time, half of the Hawaiian Islands were bought by...

I have the dungarees from SM Wholesale. They're perfect and very affordable. My chambray shirt is made by Jinruishi, but I can't remember the seller. It was a reasonable price, $75 or less. I'm 5'7", 140 lb, 18" shoulders, 23" sleeves. I first got a large, but it was too small after...

The mittens look terrific, and so does the fleece. I didn't know they used read fleece since my 6552s have the blend. I've been pleased with all of my jackets from 5 Star. And they're good about responding, unless the guys in Pakistan are off for a holiday. When I don't hear back right away...

That's a pip of a jacket. Is it a repro sold somewhere or an original? Cheers

Just like my signature says, "Politicians..get respectable..." Arnold is a pillock and a wanker. In the long run, he was no friend to California. During the lock-down, he did a PSA (public service announcement). He was sitting in an in-ground jacuzzi in one of his sprawling back yards. He had a...
