    Akubra Stockman

    Any Akubra hat will be very well built and, honestly, a good value for the cost. I have never seen their slouch hat in person, but I'm sure it's a good hat; the half-dozen Akubras I have owned were all great. Some other folks here do have them and will hopefully report. But yeah, it would be a...

    Akubra Stockman

    Benz - I agree that the Stockman is similar to the those short-brimmed western hats of the sixties! I love mine, just wore it a couple of days ago. Okay Correus, all of those are definitely taller and wider than the Stockman. You want a proper safari hat. Some other Akubras that might work -...

    Akubra Stockman

    It's not especially safari-esque, I think other Akubras are better shaped for that look. (Shouldn't a safari hat be more of a humped-crown center dent with side dents than a flat-crown teardrop with front dents?) The Stockman is more like a fedora-esque outback hat. That said, I've got a...

    Akubra gray felt hat $75

    I believe it's the C.E.O. model. You can almost read the name at the front of the sweatband, and it looks like it. https://hatsdirect.com/collections/the-akubra-range-1/products/c-e-o

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Binged a couple of back halves of seasons over the last few days: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend season 3 (DVR'd from The CW) - I remain really, really impressed with this series. It's got tremendous guts and ambition, and awesome talent across the entire cast and production. That said, I don't think...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Of course, I've been a fan of Chase for nearly fifty years, though I am much better versed in his twenties silent shorts than his thirties talkies. My seventies Super 8 collection includes Blackhawk prints of "Crazy Like A Fox" and "His Wooden Wedding". And I saw plenty of other Chase shorts...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Atomic Homefront on HBO, a horrifying documentary about radioactive waste in St. Louis County, MO and its effects on nearby residents. The situation there is unbelievably awful.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Grahame made a bunch of interesting flicks, but I submit that the first one to try and see is In A Lonely Place - I also think it's one of Humphrey Bogart's best films. But I haven't seen this film yet, so I can't comment on Annette Bening's portrayal.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Blade Runner 2049 I went on the record a couple of days ago as never having liked the original Blade Runner, not even back in the eighties. Sure, I admired its visual style and importance as an influence, but I thought its story and characterizations were pretty weak. Well, now I think it's a...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Blade Runner: The Final Cut for a film group discussion along with Blade Runner 2049 (which I haven't watched yet) next week. Okay, let me put this right out there: I didn't think Blade Runner was the masterpiece it was considered back in the eighties, and I still don't. Sure, its visually...

    L.L.Bean scraps lifetime return policy

    Honestly, I'm astonished that they didn't end this policy years ago. I've been wearing largely Bean stuff since the eighties, and in the very rare instances when something hasn't worn like iron, I've never considered returning it... Because the vast majoity of their stuff has been seriously...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Hey, I thought the second episode of The Alienist was considerably better than the pilot. I plan to keep watching.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Shape of Water. A beautiful, unique film that smooshes together a half-dozen ideas that shouldn't even be in the same movie... but it works wonderfully. An instant classic, and finally another Del Toro masterpiece to put next to Pan's Labyrinth. It pretty much deserves all the praise and...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Via TCM, the 1934 film of Liliom. Made in France (and French) and directed by just-having-fled-Nazi-Germany Fritz Lang (and other Jewish film artists who'd also soon end up in Hollywood: cinematographer/director Rudolph Mate, composer Franz Waxman, etc.), starring a young, charismatic Charles...

    Current Alpha Industries MA-1 "Classic" Review

    Alpha's mainline MA-1 is indeed cut very large... for an overweight population at a time when baggy oversized fit is familiar to lots of them. I got one in 2010, and went for a 2XL because I'd just given away an Alpha B-15 (mainline, with removable fur collar) XL that was tight at the gut and...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I've already liked a bunch of other Black Mirror eps - Be Right Back, San Junipero, USS Callister - but like many anthologies, it's an uneven series. At its best, it's very good, but not every episode is a winner. No, Black Lightning is very of the moment. And it's appropriately schizo for...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I'm periodically working my way through the episodes of Black Mirror, and I watched the extra-long holiday special "White Christmas". This is a particularly good one, with a great performance by Jon Hamm(!) and suitably creepy future technology and well-handled story twists.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    That term is used repeatedly by the Italian gang boss (Sol Polito) in Miller's Crossing. Leave it to the Cohn Brothers to unearth great old slang! "You think that I'm some guinea, fresh off the boat, and you can kick me! But I'm too big for that now. I'm sick a' takin the scrap from you, Leo...
