    Hats in restaurants

    If by old fashion you mean attitude, then yes. If by old fashion you mean... old clothing styles then it's a bit harder to say that. I never saw my Depression era Grandfather wear a t-shirt. His younger Korean War/Vietnam war brother (and my only living great Uncle on that side) never wore them...

    Retro Revolution

    For a type of style to last you need a few people who follow it. Which is why places in the UK and here on the East Cost in America seem to have a larger vintage subculture, then other places. That and there seems to be arise in people who simply enjoy one piece of vintage clothing, whether...

    Hats in restaurants

    I'm not saying their aren't guys who can't pull off the fedora-t shirt look. I know I'm not one of them though lol. Admittedly some hats are probably easier to wear dressed down, and I recall a guy around here in the past who could even wear a homburg with a t-shirt. and shorts and he looked...

    Hats in restaurants

    For those of us who enjoy wearing suits, and dressing vintage it has nothing to do with wearing a hat. Although I'd say a felt hat looks best with a suit, and quite frankly odd with some t-shirts, especially the "funny" t-shirts. As the Chap says. When you have progressed beyond fondling...

    Do hats get women?

    Confidence get women more then anything else. If they think your simply peacocking they may ignore you, if you look confident though and it's your normal look it will probably be an opener. "Nice hat!" Every woman is looking for something a bit difference, but confidence is defiantly the...

    The nicest comment I ever heard

    lol Popped collar, multi shirts, headband, and sunglasses when it's obvious a night party. Yup looks like yuppie larval scum to me :p . The kind of people who aren't happy if they don't have the "right" wrist watch on, and most conversations start with "dude", or "Did you see that...".

    Do You "Like" the Indiana Jones Comment?

    The times I've gotten it, it's always been from a group of guys my age or younger who are just act like jerks to people in general. Just growl a little bit, or give them a verbal smackdown and their isn't any more to it then that. Some people though have said it in an attempt to be friendly...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I wish this was showing in more theaters here in the States. It looks like a great movie. Then again I like the whole "older generation showing the young punks what real war is" theme :p.

    "The authenticity hoax"

    I think it's something even more basic then that. I think it's almost a part of human nature that when something doesn't feel right about the present we look to the past and try to revive what we considered to be the better aspects of it. Including the culture and styles of the past. We...

    Screen Grabs of Public Enemy Fedora?

    I agree that's a great hat. I'm going to have to buy that movie on DVD and watch it again.

    1900-1930 forums?

    Personally I like most of the styles from the late Victorian Era to about 1964. Now idea what you'd call that :P. The Goth's actually have a fair amount of cheap reproductions of certain Edwardian styles... if you don't mind wearing black... and black... with black.:p

    Hats in restaurants

    That could be true, I didn't really think of that. Some people are more worried about their lack of hair then manners lol.

    Hats in restaurants

    I agree. I know this isn't the entire board, but many of us indeed are interested in bringing older ideals back into the main stream. What's interesting about that is the fact that on this board you will find many from all points of view arguing for the general same idea. Most of us believe 2010...

    The Chap movement

    I always thought the Chap magazine was a group of Situationist who were making fun of the old Young Fogey movement.

    It's Derby Day in Kentucky

    Considerably disappointing.

    Wearing vintage pieces without looking too dated?

    I've learned as time has gone by that I care less about what people think then most. It is ironic though since when my friends and I started dressing like this back in 03-04, it had alot to do with a bunch of kids that we didn't like dressing hippieish (if that's even a word lol). So we decided...

    Poll: Dean Martin or Bing Crosby?

    In an ironic way now, Phil Harris could be remembered more then Benny in a few generations. He will always be known as the original voice of Baloo the bear for generation after generation of kids who are raised watching Disney :p.

    Poll: Dean Martin or Bing Crosby?

    I honestly can't make up my mind on this one, if pushed I'd say Bing. It's the debate about an originator against a preserver. Although Bing was a preserver of the style in his own right with all that he did, Dean's tv show did a lot to keep the style in the mainstream for as long as it was...

    james cameron's AVATAR in 3-D

    If you say so, I watch movies for the stories they tell, and for no other reason. Special effects should be a way to heighten an already good emotional dish, it shouldn't be the main course. If I was going to see something just for the visual experience I'd go on a theme park ride.;) But...

    james cameron's AVATAR in 3-D

    I'll just say a few more things about this film. As I've said before I only saw in in 2D, but I am a bit worried how everyone is know talking about 3D. Is that what movies are going to become now? Like theme park rides? Story be damned, as long as it's pretty enough, and you feel a part of the...
