    Sanitizing used hats?

    Fresh hats taste must better than frozen.

    2nd Lifers.... Explain.

    Voila.

    2nd Lifers.... Explain.

    Can someone explain the appeal/purpose/potential of Second Life? Is there any vintage, retro or time travel appeal to it, or is it all boxy, tie-dye-looking, thrown together hideousness? Just wondering.

    Beowulf

    Yeah, it looks awful, just hideous. Every one of Zemeckis' films should be in that thread that just won't die, you know, the overrated movies one. Gimmicks and gimcrackery, every last one of them. This one looks particularly heinous. Anyway, why do we need two Beowulf's in as many years...

    James Ellroy on TCM

    It is often the cause of those long nights of insomnia.

    James Ellroy on TCM

    It was interesting, I think, that a writer chose four films that all contained the line (or a slight variation of the line), "I never write things down."

    The Man Who Wasn't There in Colour

    TMWWT, the Coen Bros. film noir riff set in 1949 was shot in colour then transferred to B/W. It is now available in France as a 3 disc collectors set including both the B/W and colour versions. Here is a link to some stills. I wish the poster of those stills had chosen a few more of Billy Bob's...

    New Job...but how to dress??

    *parody alert* I love it that when someone asks for job clothes advice there is a mix posts that actually give advice the new job guy can use and posts that go right to the default position of "suit+tie+well-shined shoes". NEW THREAD: Hey, I just got a job shovelling quicklime, what should...

    James Ellroy on TCM

    Did anyone else see the four films James Ellroy programmed for his day as guest programmer? They were: Stakeout on Dope Street (1958) Murder by Contract (1958) The Line Up (1958) Armored Car Robbery (1950) The first is about a lost stash of Heroin and the boys who find it. It was...

    Changing my 'everyday style' to that of the Golden Era?

    Some looks are... um... well... ... likely to result in many and severe pummelings. Case in point Good luck.

    PET PEEVE HAT

    I swear she is not a father of twins.

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

    That might also have something to do with the price of tickets in a hockey-mad city. A hockey game has become an event as expensive and exclusive as a night at the opera used to be. People in Toronto are generally not very well-dressed (myself notwithstanding ;) )

    Anyone Familiar with the "River Runner"?

    I've had a Chatham for years and years and it's held up very well. I have absolutely no complaints. I've had other hats that didn't perform well, that turned into leprechaun caps in the rain or that just plain fell apart, but for some reason my Chatham keeps on kicking. (Must have been made of...

    PET PEEVE HAT

    I don't mind Greek fisherman caps at all. I don't like baseball caps much, or trucker caps, but I hate hate hate them when they're in denim, and "decorated." All of the following are so hideous that a single viewing of any of them in the flesh will cause one's eyes to dessicate and drop out...

    What About the Smoking CAP?

    Fedoras in France

    I'm green with envy. I hope you crossed the bridge to Shakespeare & Co. Their Hemingway's been missing for years.

    I can get you some Royal Crown if you can't find it. What about Wildroot? It's classic.

    The Cap Faction

    If you ever visit Toronto I'll give you one. Edited to add: or if I ever visit the land of white van exhaust fumes etc.

    The Cap Faction

    Sorry about the quality of the pictures. I don't have a camera at the moment so I'm using old shots from my old camera. I asked a friend who had a vintage clothing business to keep an eye open for Taylor hats or caps, as I'd seen these ads in some old magazines. (Hey, who couldn't use...
