    Go To Hatter in San Diego, Los Angeles?

    I've heard and read a few good things about Hollywood Hatters. http://www.hollywoodhatters.com/ I've wanted to visit for a while now, but just haven't been able to get down there. Give 'em call to see if they can work with your hat.

    A Prairie Home Companion....Again!

    Tonight's the night! Prairie Home Companion hits LA. (Los Angeles not Louisiana) Special guests at the Greek Theatre will be Martin Sheen, Sheryl Crow and K.D. Lang. It's been raining a little (!) and thundering a little (!!) so I'm concerned about which fedora to wear to this open air...

    Lincoln's Boots

    From the paper a few days ago: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-lincoln-boots14-2009may14,0,6654965.story A step back in time with Lincoln boots An artisan gets a rare chance to examine the famous shoes and discovers new details. 'Amazing,' he says. By Michael E. Ruane...

    Aero real deal Hide

    Since there are not as many suppliers of heavy weight hides as there use to be, Aero and Lost Worlds almost have to make some purchases at Horween. But when you make as many jackets as Aero, they get approached by a variety of suppliers. That's one of the reasons that from season to season...

    A Prairie Home Companion....Again!

    It's coming to Los Angeles on June 5th at the Greek Theatre. This will be the second time I've seen the show live. It's vintage radio at its best, great music and comedy. How do you explain to someone that you actually look forward to commercials about 'ketchup,' 'rhubarb pie,' and...

    30's~40's Work Boots

    Creeping, Thanks for bringing those Wolverine boots to my attention. They look great: http://www.wolverine1000mile.com/default.htm I forgot they had such a great tag line, "Wolverine, relentless by nature."

    The Occult, are you a believer?

    Hey Stephen1965, I think you missed my point: By and large, the esoteric is not the occult. Esotericism helps many people because it's you (or maybe a group) working on you. As you improve your awareness and health this helps everyone. Occultism a la Dr. Strange and other sorcerers...

    The Occult, are you a believer?

    Is there a Wizard in the house? I've enjoyed everyone's thoughts on this very open ended question. It's difficult defining "occult" and it's hard to say to what is meant by "believer." But to me, the "occult" implies a type of power over some aspect of the world we live in--maybe even another...

    Why are you selling off all your precious collections?

    King Tut It's better if the owner sells it at 20% off rather than someone else after your demise for even less. Surely Tutankhamun built his tomb because he knew that if he didn't properly stash his stuff, the missus and kids would have a yard sale and let his treasures go for 25 cents a piece...

    The Blues

    Floyd Lee Band I just picked this up the other day, "Doctors, Devils and Drugs" by the Floyd Lee Band. I just love it. Has a tinge of the R.L. Burnside thing.... The blues is the reason I had to subscribe to Sirius/XM. It's so nice to have the 'blues' whenever you want. Not only that...

    Screenworn Australia costumes

    Thanks for the shots. I saw the film for the first time last night and I enjoyed it. The only bit of costuming I didn't like was Hugh's hat, which you see in the window above. Everyone else had great hats. I particularly liked the way the Aboriginal culture was woven into the story.

    The Clothing of Miles Davis

    Evocative thread. Reminded me of a quote from the movie, "Russian Ark," where the ghost narrator wanders by some rumpled 'businessmen' from maybe the 17th century, "Why do they dress so badly? Clothing like that kills the creative instinct in a man."

    My new Cafe Racer...is it you?

    Jan, that's a beautiful jacket. You're definitely designer material. I'm surprised that the jerky horse looks so smooth. Thanks for some great ideas.

    One reason why I would never buy from LOST WORLDS..

    Authentic A-2's A-2 makers are like barbers (excluding Sweeney Todd), you have to find one that naturally cuts they way you like it because it's impossible to get them to change their style. You would probably better off with Goodwear given the generally accepted notion of A-2...

    One reason why I would never buy from LOST WORLDS..

    (Is this firm becoming the leather jacket maker version of the Soup Nazi from Seinfei John from Covina you of all people should know better. I know you're a loyal supporter of the "Beer Nazi.". (Sam at the Stuffed Sandwich in San Gabriel, CA.) It's the same situation exactly. Sam has an...

    One reason why I would never buy from LOST WORLDS..

    I've purchased many jackets from Stuart over the years and for the most part they are fabulous. I've had more trouble from Aero than I have LW. If you love vintage stuff, especially jackets, Stuart and LW are to be treasured. No matter which forum you read, Lost Worlds is always mentioned...

    Willis and Geiger A2`s

    If you like oversized jackets, the newer Willis & Geiger A-2's are OK. I would estimate that you would have to downsize at least one size to get the fit of a WW2 A-2. Those jackets were my first A-2's, <sigh>, I eventually donated them to charity.

    Can you help me find the belt from the movie Taxi Driver?

    I totally understand your quest. Everything about that film is fascinating in a strange way. I even bought one of those Bickle T-shirts from Japan : http://item.rakuten.co.jp/vari/br-ts-br71982/ Maybe Bickle is the ghost of a samurai...... Fortunately, if you can find a better picture you...
