    Foreign accents by non natives in movies and TV

    Nope, not even close. Not even remotely close. The worst accent is Robert Conrad's French accent in centennial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GwCucnZ6mA

    Unappreciated masterpieces?

    Of course he does, he has to. That's how you sell fiction and stay in business as a writer. I like the David Hackett Fischer book myself.

    What's For Breakfast...

    Almond raisin Muesli to which I added extra raisins. It's an odd cereal, very much akin to uncooked oatmeal sparsely supplemented with fruit and nuts. Can't say that I'm really enjoying it, but I'll finish the box nonetheless.

    Happy 20th Anniversary to TCM

    Goodness, be grateful for what they do show, and commercial free at that. I've also been enjoying GetTV after I only recently discovered it among the many extra (mostly inane) channels we receive from our cable provider. Usually if I don't care for what's on I take it as a sign that I shouldn't...

    What's the meaning behind your Avatar ?

    Re Avatar - Shortly after I started wearing a fedora I was twice in one week addressed by strangers as "Mr. Welles". When I asked what it meant I was told that I resembled a young Orson Welles. News to me, go figure. So I went with it. Interestingly enough, my dad, who I see more and more...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Update - Well, the hat arrived (6 days!). A bit loose, but certainly not overly so. The foam strip provided will work quite nicely until the hat tightens up with wear. As for bash, I started with a center denth wit a fairly tight pinch and it evolves back and forth with a diamond and a C...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I've gotten a lot of compliments, regrettably none of from whom it would mean the most.

    Headwear for hot, rainy weather?

    Tilly has a couple of quite attractive raffia hats that they claim repel rain. (fyi they also claim their shantung hat repels rain as well) http://www.tilley.com/R11-Fedora-Hat.aspx http://www.tilley.com/The-R7-Tilley-Town-Hat.aspx I should think that raffia would hold up better than...

    If I had to pick one girl from the golden era

    The negative is having to narrow it down to just one. Frankly, the more posts in this thread the harder it gets!

    Grandparent hats

    Are you sure that's a lock of hair tied in and not simply a super frayed end? As for getting the wrinkles out of that one hat, I say don't do it. It has a lot of character the way it is and I wouldn't be so sure the 'wrinkles"aren't stylistically appropriate for the hat. I'd gladly be wrong on...

    Interesting Incident at a Hat-Shop

    Interesting indeed. If they offered you $200 for it, imagine what it's really worth! Sounds like fun little mystery you have on your hands there. Please do keep us informed should you fine out more.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Thanks, I actually find it reassuring.

    Would "Raiders" have been as popular if the character had been hatless?

    I would venture to guess that the appeal of the character and the movie came first followed (at the same time but as a result) by the costuming (fedora and leather jacket). And the costuming, particularly the fedora, only because it was so unlike anything being worn at the time, and it tapped...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Just yesterday pulled the trigger on a Carbon Gray Fed IV. Though I'm excited to replace a well loved and well worn hat that was recently lost in gale force winds, I'm on pins and needles about the sizing issue. I followed all the instructions and ordered accordingly but just how much shrinkage...
