What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
A few minutes ago, I just finished seeing The Best Years of Our Lives (1946). It's a powerful film. It makes a statement about the types of problems returning soldiers might have experienced after the war was over.- The Good

Which Presidents Wore Hats>?
Just a thought, but since Obama got a second term for example, wouldn't a President in his position be able to get away with things like this more without worrying about alienating future voters? Is there some kind of rule that forces the President to conform to strict standards? President Bush... -
What are you wearing today??
Here's a couple recent pictures: Akubra Fed IV, a possibly old London Fog raincoat that came like new, brown corduroy sports jacket with a custom-made grenadine tie, dark grey chinos, and beater black dress shoes. Akubra Snowy River (bought it recently), Land's End Canvas work shirt, khakis...- The Good

What reaction do you get?
I think I got this a couple of times the job interview one a couple of times. I wasn't wearing a hat then, but in my opinion a hat will go a pretty long way in warding off the interview/wedding/funeral comments. I think in modern culture, a hat may make it somehow less stern and businesslike...- The Good

Stetson 100-From Blah to Bling!
The hat looked good before too, but it definitely looks cool now! I like the way homburgs look, but not enough that it stopped me from converting my Stetson St. Regis to a fedora nearly two years ago. I didn't iron the curl though, instead I cut the brim with scissors. It looks good after... -

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I saw that too, last Friday! Just right now, I finished watching Taxi Driver, starring Robert De Niro. I wish he was in another movie like that now.- The Good

I watched the original Public Enemy starring James Cagney. It was a very good film, I thought. Great performance, and the ending was very clever.- The Good

Undertow, about 1930? I may be way off. I'm still learning how to date old photographs and suit/hat styles.- The Good

Halloween Costumes
Some neat costumes. I wish I had "The Man With No Name" gear, but I haven't even started collecting it yet, apart from a lookalike pale blue shirt with railroad stripes. If the weather were cooler, this is what I'd do: Obviously not a double-breasted coat, but I think the overall...- The Good

Ask a question, get an answer
Any recommendations for which color fedora would look best with a dark green plaid tweed overcoat? I bought one several months ago, and here's a picture of it: The color is lighter outdoors. So far, I own a dark brown, pale grey, and a silverbelly one. Would all three tones work? How about... -
What are you wearing today??
Today I just knocked around in light khaki chinos, a black polo shirt, belt, and chelsea boots, while wearing my pale grey vintage Stetson fedora. Apart from wearing that hat so much (I should get a Panama for a warm weather dress hat), this is basically my uniform for hot weather days. I live...- The Good

The nicest comment I ever heard
While at the Getty Center, someone in an elevator told me my pale grey Stetson St. Regis (mine is a fedora now, not a homburg) was a nice hat. I just said thanks with a bit of a smile. -

Akubra Overload
OK, thanks. I think I'm ruling out the Snowy River style. Now it's between the Silver Spur sandtone fawn hat, or Federation IV in tawny fawn. I think I'm wanting a western style this time, as the Fed IV is essentially the same as my brown one, only a different color. I thought about the... -
Akubra Overload
Nice, that's what I'm going for too. You're getting the silver spur, is it the sandtone or black one? I've seen a couple pictures on the internet of black ones, but not the sandtone tan hat. My concern is that Everything Australian has the hat at 4.75 inches, and this website below has it at 5... -
Akubra Overload
Another hat I'm thinking about is the Silver Spur. I like how it doesn't have the holes on the side so common to Akubra hats. It kind of reminds me of some of the hats John Wayne wore too. I'm thinking that the Snowy River or Overlander hats are too low crowned, and the brim is too... -
Akubra Overload
Maybe it's been said, but does anyone know the crown height of the Akubra Snowy River/Overlander (same hat, right?) when the crown is popped up like an open crown? It's supposed to be 4 inches the way it comes, but does that refer to the dome in the middle created by the teardrop crease, or is... -
Paul Newman's suit?
So what are the chances of a guy knowing about Paul Newman to begin with, finding the suit, only to apparently have it fit as well as in the picture? This could be real, but that's a very big coincidence. Could it possibly be the suit of another Paul Newman? Have any members here found or bought...
