    (Don't know if this has been done before but) Movies so Traumatizing You Could Only Watch It Once.

    Joker was like that for some I know who have had familial experience of a close relative with significant mental health issues of a similar nature. For the last several years I've done a screening of The Eichmann Show https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4163668/?the-eichmann-show for my students...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Raging at eBay. Three times now (three different auctions) they have rejected my complaint about sellers misusing a brand. Specifically, it is agsinst ebay's published rules to use in an auction title a brand name which is not that of the product for sale. All three of these were random hats...

    Help! Quick opinion on Kreosote boots.

    I liked Tommy's caps. Completely wrong for the period in the English setting, but that's another argument! The wardrobe otherwise was pretty good on the period front. The other way boots are safer is, well.... in my adult lifetime, just over three decades now, I've been fourteen inches smaller...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Society of the Snow, (via Netflix) a 2023 picture about the 1972 Andes mountains plane crash, where the survivors were rescued after 72 days, having been presumed lost and dead after about a week. Everyone remembers the survived by eating the bodies of the dead after their minimal food supplies...

    The toughest hat

    They do look nice for the money, if they could do 'em without the holes in the brim for the chinstrap. I quite like the idea of one of the vented felt type with a puggaree. As in regular Western hat stiff, or solid-solid, moulded, like they'd break if crushed rather than soften over time...

    Help! Quick opinion on Kreosote boots.

    Three-piece, black or grey, early deacdes 20th century - something 2024 style wouldn't look quite right imo. This sort of *slightly* slimmer, Edwardian vibe - (Slimmer than 30s/40s, not modern 'skinny'.) Something like these options from Darcy...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I think it's fair to say the tone of it won't be for anyone. I think the reason it wiggled my wire is that it felt like something of a sweet spot between the 'real world' Nolan approach, a slight turn closer the source material in terms of the aesthetic, and a willingness for a new...

    Help! Quick opinion on Kreosote boots.

    Interesting boots. I like the look of them. They would pair well with a suit - but only the *right* suit. Specifically, something in a late teens / into the early 20s style (think: first couple of series of Peaky Blinders). Very common back then for working men to wear boots like these with a...

    Sunglasses that work well with a Fedora?

    Cathcart Heritage (formerly Simon James Cathcart / SJC) have just launched their first sunglasses. Two styles - one white, 1920s style pair, one tortoiseshell 1930s style. 30s: 20s: As always, they ain't cheap - £125 a pair. To be fair, that's in line with the likes of RayBans and so on...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Question on the Stetson Kendrick (brown hemp). Does anyone have one? I'm curious as to what it looks like head on, and whether it bears any resemblance to the Stetson Temple in shape. The temple used to be available in a milano weave hemp, but doesn't appear to be any longer.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I'm definitely overdue a trip to the US; I've been to Vegas (2000), Boston (though only for about three days for work) in 2002, New York on holiday in 2004 and most recently DC in 2011, for a work conference but managed to fit in three days' sightseeing. Been meaning to get back since but...

    Boring Aero Sizing Question

    Holly knows what she's doing with sizing and patterns. @Tom71 's rule of thumb is a pretty good guide if you can't try one on, but always check with Holly. I tend to find the key measurement that I go by if I'm unsure between two p2p sizes is the hem / waist measurement. I'd always take a...

    The wrist watch.

    Not bad. My daily driver for about three years was an Invicta homage to the Submariner. Fairly decent watch. The movement gained five minutes across about a fortnight, but I fell into the habit of always correcting the time against University Time before the start of my Friday morning lecture...

    Riding gear enablers!

    They're a great concept. Perfect for a vain old bird like me that just looks in askance at so much modern stuff.... :D

    Traditional Men's Suit Styling and Cut

    There are some great repro / vintage adjacent brands in the UK as well if you don't mind shopping at a distance. Cathcart Heritage I'm particularly fond of. Not cheap, but nice. They do a wide range of options in M2M now as well. Cathcartheritage.com At the more affordable end of the scale...

    Riding gear enablers!

    Yeah. Wouldn't go near a bike without a fullface myself. My dad rode for years. He knew a Pastor up round the coast, NW200 territory who could have told you about enough funerals he'd done that would have put you off not wearing the right gear. There was one he did for a young lady rider who got...

    "Being Henry"

    I've always meant to catch him in panto some year. I should the next time I get the chance. It's an interesting situation, a performer being so successful and so associated in / with one role that it holds them back from others. It seems to happen with a number of big sitcom stars in...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The look was beautiful. I've enjoyed almost all screen versions of the Bat (big exception: Adam West's. I LOATHE everything about that with a passion - not lest because it put me off Batman and bothering to go look at the source material for YEARS). This one, though.... I thought the Batman with...
