    Evisu modding/customising questions...

    (Please excuse the streetwear newbness) I just paid the equivalent of $20 for a pair, after quickly trying them on, at my local Salvation Army. The idea is that the cloth is supposedly superior, so I bought them mainly for an experiment in custom-fitting jeans, done by my local Vietnamese...

    Vintage and other shopping in Lisbon?

    I'd better post this in MC as well: Leaving for three weeks in twelve hours. With the little wife. We're staying at some hotel called Eden, which is smack in the middle of town, for the first four or five days, and we'll then decide on excursions by train or rental car. I've never been to...

    What to see, do and buy in Lisbon/Portugal?

    Leaving for three weeks in twelve hours. With the little wife. This is sort of a belated honeymoon, so we're willing to spend a bit for quality. We're staying at some hotel called Eden, which is smack in the middle of town, for the first four or five days, and we'll then decide on excursions by...

    After-dinner speech - please help

    Right, so next Saturday I'm supposed to hold a speech after a very traditional lutefisk club dinner. Background: This is an annual event for enthusiasts (around a hundred people, I think), most of them far older and more important than me. As I'm the new boy, it's a bit like an initiation...

    Wedding photos!

    OK, so this was almost a month ago - I've been receiving pics in my inbox since then, so this is a digest of the least untolerable ones... Question: First or last pic to be sent out with the thank-you cards? .

    I found an 18thC table in the attic - pictorial

    My fiancÃe and I went up to see my parents last week, and to show her where I partly grew up. So I showed her around, and we opened up an old outhouse on a farm that was last inhabited in the early fifties. Seeing this gave me quite a start: It turned out to be a late rococo/early Louis XVI...

    Another "my new apartment" thread

    If SoCal can, so can I, so...here's my redecoration thread. Here's the "blank canvas", as it stands - the electrician's coming in tomorrow, then carpenters, painters...it will be interesting to be confined to the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen while they're doing up the living-room...

    Max Raabe! German 30s show music

    I think he and his Palast-Orchester deserve a mention. They do classic "Comedian Harmonists"-style ca. 1930 dance/show music. A search here turned up no youtube links, so here goes: Oops I did it again Maybe their best work Super Trouper (Horrible sound and no images on this one, but if you...

    Oslo 1945 film shoot - took lots of photos

    This is from the shooting of a film about the Norwegian war hero Max Manus, they did the scenes from the 1940 invasion and the 1945 victory celebrations around the corner from where I work. It was a bit unsettling to sneak out for a coffee and find the parliament building like this (not my...

    Vintage shopping in Berlin, anyone?

    I'm going there for the weekend - any tips for good vintage shops (OK, and other shops)? As stated before, as I actually prefer older stuff to new, I wondered if anyone has tips about thrift shops, flea markets, vintage clothiers and places like that. I'll cross-post this in the MC and SW&D...

    Roman holiday - pics of 40s Italian men's clothing

    By chance, I found a very nice exhibition about daily life in Italy in the earliest post-war period. Lots of art, posters, stills and clips from the neo-realist films, etc., and quite a few period costumes. It was inside the Vittorio Emmanuele monument: For iammatt's side in the key-hole lapel...

    Japanese translation, anyone?

    This is the signature on the tang of a Japanese wakizashi (mid-length) blade: I've probably posted the photos upside-down, as I don't read Japanese at all - the pencil-on-Post-It beside it is my own faithful reproduction of it. Sorry if it's presumptuous of me to use the forum for this, but if...

    When in Rome...vintage shopping?

    I'm going to Rome with the beautiful, intelligent girlfriend (K: Yes, I did suspect you read this) for Christmas and New Year's, and as I actually prefer older stuff to new, I wondered if anyone has tips about thrift shops, flea markets, vintage clothiers and places like that. Most people I know...

    Chinese translation needed

    This is a text inlaid in mother-of-pearl in the stock on a flintlock fowling-piece that I have my clammy hands on at the moment...the value is more or less a given, unless the inscription is particularly interesting...any takers? TIA, LS

    Worst fakes and rip-off labels

    The other day, I saw this while out thrifting: (I suppose it could be a legit brand, but still...) A few classics: And who would fake those ugly rubber bands? I'm glad that fad is over.

    Some amateur classic car pics

    Walked around a classic car meeting with my dad earlier this summer, and took some photos of smaller details on the cars. They really don't make the details on cars as elegant now.

    Art dealers and their "Belgian Shoes"

    Funny article from www.artnet.com, by way of Devil's Island - it's a bit of a clichà like the Wall Streeters and their HermÃs, I suppose. What art dealers really want A black-tie version: http://www.belgianshoes.com/menstyles.html
