    Lust, Caution

    How did you like "In the Mood for Love?" I read or saw something about some time ago. Is it worth renting?

    Lust, Caution

    I just rented this. The reviews seem encouraging. It looks good. I'll post after I watch it.

    1940's Big Band Brilliantine!

    Thanks for the link. Definitely let me know how this works for you--pictures would be great. I'm looking for a new hair product and don't know where to start.

    Who is She?

    Can anyone identify the lady at 1:14 in this clip? She looks so familiar, but her name is escaping me now. On a side note, does anyone recognize what films these clips are from (besides Casablanca). Thanks!

    Valkyrie

    I don't really like Tom Cruise. He's too famous to really inhabit a role, and I don't think he's that great. But I'm watching this one on the big screen. It's just eye-candy: WWII, all things vintage--you just can't pay too much attention so he ruins it for you.

    Vintage Men's Hair Care

    What kind of product can I use to give my hair some body without weighing it down? Now, I'm using a very waxy pomeade.

    Shave of the Day

    I thought you straight edge shavers would appreciate this from today's New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/11/fashion/11skin.html?_r=1&hp I tried the old school shaving, and it didn't improve my skin. I have sensitive skin, so I'm still stuck with: Gilette disposable double...

    Vintage Men's Hair Care

    Thanks for the links. Can I get a military hair brush in stores? Do the bristles have to be made from a special material? Also, does Royal Crown help keep your hair up. I need something that will keep my hair up just a little, but give it a shine and allow me to slick it back.

    Vintage Men's Hair Care

    I have two questions regarding vintage men's hair style: 1) How did they keep their hair shiny? I've heard it's a special type of brush, other times I heard it was the product they used. 2) I slick my hair back but not with a comb, with my fingers. I usually use a waxy pomeade of sorts...

    Male Identification in Film

    For the gentlemen in the lounge: Often when watching a film we associate with a male character in the film. What male protagonist do you most associate with or wish to be. What character has what you want (clothes, style, lady, home, job, etc)? Which film do you return to with a sense of joy...

    Your (vintage) Room

    I thought it would be interesting to have a thread where everyone can show off their room. I think rooms tell about a person's character. What's your favorite room in your house or apartment? Which room is most vintage? Bedroom, living area, library? For the students, is your dorm vintage? Or...

    Men's Boots

    I'm in the market for some winter boots. What kind of boots do you fellas wear in the snow? I'll be pairing the boots with slacks, wool pants, etc. I don't want any industrial, vortex, really chunky boots, but I need something that looks nice in winter weather. What would Bogie have worn?

    V-Neck pull over

    If by v-neck pullover, you mean sweater. I say don't do it. Don't tuck sweaters in. They're not meant to fit like shirts. I've never seen sweaters tucked in. You may enjoy it in that catalog shot, but as far as classic style is concerned, leave it out of your slacks. Don't worry: it won't look...

    Custom Hide briefcases

    I'm more interested in the quality of the bag and its perceived durability. I have a bag that used to belong to my father, and I'm sure it wasn't very expensive--I know it's genuine leather (I don't know if there are different grades)--I use it everyday, and it works just fine. It only suffers...

    Custom Hide briefcases

    So for those of you who are disappointed with Custom Hide, is is that they messed up your order or that the manufacturing is poor? Are there other, comprably priced, vendors you recommend?
