    What are you wearing today??

    Been a while since I posted. I'm casual compared to a lot of others here, but when I "dress up," often all it takes is to wear a hat or nice jacket. Stetson Open Road: New desert boots from Land's End Canvas came in the other day, too. Much nicer than the beat-up Dockers and Bostonian...

    The nicest comment I ever heard

    Some here might find it offensive, but someone nicknamed me cowboy (and "The Man With No Name") while I was wearing a Stetson Open Road (modern), Levi's, desert boots, and a railroad stripe work shirt. I identify quite a bit with the cowboy image even if I may be a city slicker (or an "Urban...

    My first hand crafted fedora

    That is very nice, Cane Rod Maker. Someday, I might have to attempt learning how to do this myself. In your experience, is the cost of getting all of the stuff together to make it actually cheaper than a good custom-made beaver hat, about the same price, or more?

    Cowboy Boots

    I realize every cowboy's got to start somewhere, but are boots like these just junk, or are they pretty decent for the price? http://www.sheplers.com/Brands/Old-West/Mens-Old-West-Boots/Old-West-Smooth-Leather-Cowboy-Boots-medium-toe/pc/447/c/316/sc/317/3883.pro Is it much more worth saving up...

    James Bond: Skyfall

    I've read on another board (Commander Bond) that James Bond will still be ordering a Vodka Martini, and that the Heineken bit is only one part involving a non-descript beach bar.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Midnight Cowboy (1969, starring Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman); it was a dreary, pretty depressing movie. Watching those peoples lives ruined by immorality and poverty was an experience. I found both the main theme and the music during the party scene kind of catchy, too. Anyway, I don't...

    Show us your TIES

    Thank you for the advice, and John in Covina, I agree with you about the length of modern ties, but I have never seen any as long as that before. You say that they are 70-72 inches? I think all of my modern ties at present are just 59 to 60. I only do a four-in-hand knot anymore, so I don't need...

    Show us your TIES

    I would like some advice. Would a 3 inch wide tie be considered conservative enough for the workplace nowadays? I don't have a job right now, but I'm going to be ordering a custom-made, plain midnight blue grenadine tie by Sam Hober in that width; 3 inches wide, and then maybe 54 or 55 inches in...

    James Bond: Skyfall

    Some thoughts: I'm really looking forward to seeing Skyfall in theaters. I missed that chance with Quantum of Solace, because I've heard all of the negativity about it, and it put me off of a theater viewing, although I did see it later on DVD. Skyfall is the first film I've ever obsessively...

    Metropd, I'm very sorry about that happening to you. We're glad that you are recovering though.

    Who is today's Steve McQueen?

    I think Daniel Craig might be the closest actor to Steve McQueen there is today. He even looks a little bit like him. Craig is "cool" because of his association with James Bond, and I like some of the styles he wore in the movies.

    Spearhead Jackets

    Does Spearhead make a decent quality tanker jacket? I'd like to buy one that's affordable, and relatively authentic. I like the color tone too, the khaki color with the olive knit cuffs and collar. Anyone have one of these...

    What are you wearing today??

    Thank you, Short Balding Guy! Your hats are nice, so I think they fit right in with the jacket.

    We need bigger caps

    Does anybody know if the Sicilian coppola style of cap has always been consistent in size since the 19th and early 20th century, or are modern versions smaller too?

    What are you wearing today??

    Do you wear a fedora with your Harrington jacket? I was thinking of wearing a light grey one with a navy blue jacket, it should look good. Also, are they generally OK to wear in the rain?

    does it ever bother you that vintage clothing is a deceased person's clothing?

    Not really. I have a problem with wearing other's shoes/boots though, and if something is particularly dirty, I wouldn't want it either. I do occasionally think about what sort of people the previous owner of my Stetson St. Regis hat or McGregor Anti-Freeze jacket were, though. I don't think...

    What are you wearing today??

    Sharp, everyone. No pictures, but today I wore something what I would consider not unlike the casual attire Daniel Craig sported in the recent James Bond movies (jeans, deck shoes, navy polo shirt, and same crew cut haircut), and I wore an Open Road and a vintage McGregor jacket for a while too...

    Hair cuts

    It's been four and a half months since I had a haircut, and my hair's starting to look long on the sides and back now, going below the ears. I'm likely going to try something different than my usual taper-cut, and I'm thinking of going crew cut, something like the cut sported by Daniel Craig in...
