    What storage space? I have to move hat boxes to find my bed when I go to sleep. :)

    Yellow O2 Tank

    That' so cool! I love watching old movies and seeing something that I own. For me, it's usually a telephone.

    Welcome aboard, and I wish it were that easy. You can't tell what kind of hat will look good until you've tried a few. I've gotten compliments on everything from top hats to bowlers to straw boaters, and I have over 50 fedoras of every brim width. It just depends what mood I'm in, I guess.

    Men's Underwear Basics: Underwear, Undershirts

    I'm convinced. I'm going to find some bow ties to go with my cuffed trousers and braces.

    Oh Dear Me...

    For me, the turning point was when I started working for H&R Block back in 1991. I had to deal with many new people each tax season, and got to meet some very interesting people. Prior to that, I was very much an introvert. It does seem to have gotten easier for me as I've grown older.

    "Aviator" shirts

    OK, now you really need to take flying lessons! Find a Stearman to train in. :)

    Wanted: vintage 7 5/8 PLEASE!!!

    To add insult to injury, I once got a Dobbs Homburg that was advertised as a 7-1/2 and it turned out to be a 7-5/8. I sold that to a Lounger. My big green 1930s Dobbs has a tag inside that says 7-5/8, but it must have shrunk over the years because it fits me fine, and I'm halfway between a...

    PET PEEVE HAT

    The tweed fedoras aren't my cup o' tea either, but some people, like Rex Harrison and Terry-Thomas can carry them off. Other than trucker caps, I really can't think of a style that I truly dislike. I really wish those folks who put a lot of money, time and sweat into restoring a classic car...

    Forget Indiana Jones, the greatest hat movie ever must be The Sting,question follows

    I think the average guy in 1936 didn't consider a suit and tie as being "dressed up," it was just his normal outfit. My favorite hat movies are the ones that were shot back then, they depict what was current, not some art director's vision of what it was like. Watch the final scene in...

    Dare I start a thread on vintage Beer signs?

    I've never tried it, but I applaud Falstaff for naming their beer after the most famous drunk in English literature. :)

    Vintage Phones

    Does it involve singing "PEnnsylvania 6-5000"?

    The myth!

    My fur coat may date back to the 1920s and it fits me fine, and I also have a suit jacket from 1951 that fits great, as well. I think that like most things in this world, it's a cyclical thing. In WWII, there was a huge problem with young draftees who were 4F because they were underweight...

    Maybe stupid question (+intro)

    The Federation is a great hat, it has a wider brim and a taller crown which ought to work. They're sold by Hats Direct in Australia, and if they have your size in stock, you can get your hat very quickly. They're sized in metric, your tape measure (cloth is best) probably has metric as well as...

    Sears Christmas 1945

    Yep, and it's still there at the Nixon library. Richard and Pat are buried nearby, it's amazing to think of a life of over 80 years with the beginning and ending points so close together.

    '30s Vintage German Homburg, non-Homburg and Fedora

    My Borsalino from Saigon has a very similar brim treatment. I don't think it was uncommon in the teens and '20s.

    Show us your vehicles

    And what's the deal with grafting some mid-'70s front suspension parts on and calling it "Modern"? Parts that were engineered for a completely different vehicle and which aren't particularly "hi-tech" anyhow? Off brand engine swaps mystify me as well. If it's a Mopar or a Buick or a Mercury...
