    OK...so what is your oldest hat?

    I've had my Dad's '50's Penny's 'Marathon' around since I was a kid. I officially took possession in 1966. But, my oldest hat of my own in my felt Indy...I think it's a Dorfman, but the lining came out years ago. I bought in 1983 and still wear it regularly. I have a couple of 1940's...

    Why you love Bomber Jackets. (its bomber jacket season again!)

    Why do I love bomber jackets? Well, when I was about ten or eleven, B/Gen. Frank Savage (Robert Lansing) taught me how wonderful a bomber (flight) jacket looked. So all these years later I still were my bomber/flight jacket as often as I can - mine even has the ciggie pocket on the left...

    From The Mail: SS Uniforms Cause Stir at Dambusters Event.

For instance, though there may have been some hushed talk and some raised eyebrows, these gents were not hassled or asked to...

    Tales of the Gold Monkey

    I a TOTGM fan! Geez, it was worth watching for Jake's outfit alone, never mind that beautiful "Cutter's Goose"! Again, I'm not critical of "fantasy" scripts that get the dates wrong - heck, even Boragora in the Marivellas was just made up out of whole cloth! I too believe that the DVD set is...

    PBS Masterpiece theater Mr Selfridge

    I am not sure what all the critical fuss is about regarding 'Mr. Selfridge'. I find it fascinating....I realize going in, it is NOT a documentray - it is a drama about the interactions of people of various class strata inside the first high end department store in London. It is just a glimpse...
