    Greetings everybody!

    I'll add my note of welcome to the pile. Nice to have more female voices in the mix. (The link works if you get rid of the period and slash at the end of it.)

    Future of hats

    I was in a hat shop in Palm Springs a few weeks ago, and they carried a few modern Stetsons. The felt seemed pretty nice on it (and was very well finished). Of course, they were about $200. We also went into a men's shop which had a large selection of panamas. no felt fedoras, though. I...

    New DVD's

    ah, yeah, sorry. I should've posted a link to that as well: http://www.thegoldenera.net/Golden_era_store.html

    Sex in the media

    Ren- I check in with MTV from time to time, in hopes that they'll play something where someone actually sings. (They don't.) You're right in that MTV is greatly to blame for many of the things you've mentioned - but to me, I'm more appalled by the glamorization of material goods (you know...

    New DVD's

    Ren - you would do well to start with that new Film Noir box set that just came out. It's got: Out of the Past The Set-up The Asphalt Jungle Gun Crazy Murder, My Sweet Those are some of the best you can buy. I would tell anyone to start there. It's got almost every facet of the...

    Ambassador Hotel featured on NPR

    Naturally, everything happens when I go out of town. Thanks for the link, though. Some great photos of the Ambassador which I hadn't seen before (some of them are new). They are really starting to keep the grounds nice over there. It didn't look that way six or seven months ago, I can tell...

    Big 'Ol Bogie posters

    I have a couple of gigantic, door-sized Bogie posters for sale. I won an auction for three posters, and one of them is so cool that I don't need the other two. They're in good condition, with a little wear at the edges where I clumsily unrolled them. These are scans from the auction. The...

    Inflation is tough...

    ...yeah...my house is pretty much full of 'em. Incidentally, I just lost out on some Borsalinos (because I couldn't be home when the auction ended) which both went for...$21.50. I paid $79 for my favorite vintage Borsalino. The really really nice ones always end up being sort of...

    Inflation is tough...

    ...but maybe this is a little extreme: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=52370&item=8122497516&rd=1 When thinking of fedoras that cost $999...this is not what I picture. In fact, note the elastic-y ribbon on the crown, and the burgundy exterior? Here's a hat I...

    Ok, I won.

    Congrats indeed! I love that hat. You're lucky.

    Hats for sale.

    Yes, it took me a while... ...but these are all on eBay now.

    One of our own to make Fedora's

    A thought for those of us who frequent this board, as opposed to COW: Steve's block is great, and it's not just for Indy fedoras. Matt Deckard can attest to this, as I wore a hat blocked with Steve's custom Raiders block to the Casablanca screening, and as I'm sure he'll attest, it looks...

    Show us your suits

    When you live in Arizona... ...you CAN forget the topcoats. OK, it gets cold enough in the winter that you can wear 'em. I will say, though, that I have way too many coats in my closet to live in Arizona. WildRoot, you guys look fantastic. I thought it was an actual vintage photo for...

    That is one great photo.

    Isn't that the kind of hat Chico Marx wore?

    Absinthe

    I read a big article about absinthe quite a while ago, where a writer tried it. I can't recall what he said it tasted like...but he said that the rumors about it causing temporary blindness (the result of an absinthe hangover) were true. Isn't it...you know...poison, essentially?

    Stupidity Awards

    Vince Neil's not gay. I would not listen to him on matters of attire. There's lousy dressers on both sides of the fence, fellows.

    How brave/dumb is Michael Moore

    Ren, I just read your newest "rant" (from the link at the bottom of your post). Some points I don't agree with, but overall, really great points were made. Folks spend too much time arguing about whose fault it was that the Wolf blew our house down, not enough trying to find the Wolf and...
