    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Greatest Show on Earth on TCM. They don't make them like that any more.

    Pocket Watch Question

    I have a few watch chains with swivel lobster claws on the belt end similar to this (a keychain from Ace Hardware). The are heavy duty enough and hook to a belt loop and very secure. But they are more suitable to a biker wallet than a dress watch chain to my eyes. OK for jeans, but not...

    Pocket Watch Question

    Here's your solution prototyped. Just parts from a couple of really cheap watch chains for this prototype. All I did was remove the waistband clip and linking ring from one chain and put right on the exact same place the target chain clipped to the watch clip. Opened up the clip above...

    Pocket Watch Question

    Interesting idea, Tomasso. Worth an experiment, surely. On that clip on the pictured chain the chain connects to a loop on the clip via the chain link directly. I'd replace that link with a slightly larger ring and then add a small section of chain ending in the watch clip. The clip (the...

    Pocket Watch Question

    Here's the way I've solved the no watch pocket problem for my Hamilton Railway Special. Note the extra thing between the chain end and the clasp, shaped sort of like the number seven. (Where the arrow points.) I cannibalized that piece from a key chain I received as a kid in the 50's...

    Colorizing Old Movies

    For me it really depends on the film in question. If the film was just a run of the mill b&w low budget film with no special camera, lighting or filtration work then colorization can only help. On the other hand, colorizing Citizen Kane would be a big artistic mistake as would doing it to most...

    Rara Avis - What rare WWII aircraft would you like to see flying?

    I'd love to see a P-39 Airacobra in flight and up close. I always thought it was a beautiful plane, but I guess the Russians appreciated it more than we Americans. Sort of the A-10 of its day.

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    No "if" about it.

    I'm horrified.

    One man's treasure is another man's trash. And always will be.

    Hawaiian shirts and fedoras

    I have a Biltmore that looks just like that one and I love it. A very soft and comfortable hat. Looks good either dressing up or dressing down. Looks good on you.

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    I probably wouldn't wear a hat to an interview. That's not really the time or place to appear eccentric in any way. Regardless of how we who post here feel about our hats I think we all realize that wearing them is not the norm in much of the country. Just look at the threads about comments...

    Trouser/Pants Leg Length History Lesson

    Maybe to civilian eyes, but as an ex sailor I'll point out that the actual reason for bell bottoms in the Navy (besides tradition) is so you can get them off in a hurry after abandoning ship, tie the legs closed, inflate them by holding to the waist band and waving them over your head, close the...

    Trouser/Pants Leg Length History Lesson

    Sorry, I don't understand that statement. What length do you think the correct length is then?

    Social not political

    In practice (at least in this state) seated judges are mostly reelected. It's not like the public is actually tracking the judicial decisions and putting lenient judges in office. In fact, the bias is towards tough judges. About the only thing that will remove a judge is improper judicial...

    The Open Road Guild

    No doubt. But mine is probably only worth that now. Except to me, of course, since I bought it new.
