Whenever we see a preacher portrayed on TV or in the movies, they're usually denoted by the "dog collar" white band with a black shirt. This, however, is really only applicable to Catholic priests…Continue
Meeting Other Makers

I use the term "other" loosely, as I don't deem myself skilled enough to be called a "maker", but. . .One can only learn so much on the Internet. How can I find local people who like to make stuff…Continue

Do any of my contemporaries (or elders) recall a certain television advertisement? The spot opened with two or three gentleman relaxing at their club. Cut away to a steaming kettle. Back to the…Continue

Bryan Paul Sullo posted a discussion“Kipling in America, 1892 to 1896” A Kipling Society Symposium, October 7th-8th 2013
Though often un-credited as such, Rudyard Kipling is one of the granddaddies of steampunk literature. Having not only documented, but helped to shape the Victorian and Edwardian ages, and with an abiding interest in technology, Kipling and his work both reflect and criticize British imperialism, adventure, exploration, the mechanization of life, and other classic steampunk tropes.That's my introduction.The academic symposium, taking place at Marlboro College, as well as at Kipling's home…See More
CoastConFan replied to Bryan Paul Sullo's discussion Non Anglican, 19th Century Preacher Neckwear"I'll wear suspenders on occasion too -- they are very period clothing items. In fact, men's pants didn't have belt loops* as they either fit naturally (tailoring) or you used galluses (suspenders) with most pants having buttons…"
Leonard Solomon replied to Bryan Paul Sullo's discussion Non Anglican, 19th Century Preacher Neckwear"I'll stuff them! Good grief: I wear suspenders too; something must be wrong with me."
CoastConFan replied to Bryan Paul Sullo's discussion Non Anglican, 19th Century Preacher Neckwear"Yep, along with suspenders -- you remember Urkel don't you? Also Gordon "Greed is Good" Gekko, ah those were days."
Bryan Paul Sullo replied to Bryan Paul Sullo's discussion Non Anglican, 19th Century Preacher Neckwear"Though they did make a brief come-back in the 80's."
CoastConFan replied to Bryan Paul Sullo's discussion Non Anglican, 19th Century Preacher Neckwear"Vests start disappearing about the early 30s and by 1940 they had disappeared from most middle-class men's casual dress suits. It could be blamed on improved central heating, possibly. The three piece suit became business dress for…"
Leonard Solomon replied to Bryan Paul Sullo's discussion Non Anglican, 19th Century Preacher Neckwear"As far as buying cravats, I make mine from a strip cut from the tail of a shirt, suitably hemmed and dyed. I was at dinner at my brother's once, and his wife looked at me and said, "You made your neckcloth out of a shirt!" I'll…"
CoastConFan replied to Bryan Paul Sullo's discussion Non Anglican, 19th Century Preacher Neckwear"You are quite right, the neckcloth or neckstock was the predecessor of the tie, as we know it. Some of the Georgian neckcloths could have elaborate knot work and could be initially six feet long before winding and knotting. By the early…"
Leonard Solomon replied to Bryan Paul Sullo's discussion Working with Sheet Brass"I'm always glad to share my arcane interests with kindred spirits; you'd be welcome. Beware the Wimshurst machine, however. Is nicht fur gefingerpoken."
Leonard Solomon replied to Bryan Paul Sullo's discussion Non Anglican, 19th Century Preacher Neckwear"A cravat, or neckcloth, was often worn under the shirt, as opposed to a tie over the collar. Any kerchief-sized soft cloth, tied with a simple overhand knot and tucked neatly under the shirtfront, will do. Dickens mentions, in A Tale of Two Cities,…"
Bryan Paul Sullo replied to Bryan Paul Sullo's discussion Working with Sheet Brass"The festival was great. It's one of the highlights of my year.
Careful inviting strange people to visit your lab. I'm liable to show up!"
Leonard Solomon replied to Bryan Paul Sullo's discussion Working with Sheet Brass"I'm not sure how I got here either; I think it was a fluxion in the aether. The Watch City Festival was a humdinger. I hope you can come next year. If you're in the Concord MA area, stop by and see my laboratory of philosophical…"
Bryan Paul Sullo replied to Bryan Paul Sullo's discussion Working with Sheet Brass"Thank you, Mr. Solomon.
Incidentally, I had no idea you were on this site. I wanted to see your performance this past weekend, but I couldn't make the schedule work. Maybe next year."
