    Light weight felt hats

    I'd be up for one, especially if you added a sage green or a sky blue. Or if not, I'd go with a natural color.

    Foreign Films

    I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Un homme et une femme (A Man and a Woman) yet. It stars Anouk Aim?©e and Jean-Louis Trintignant, and I'll bet you recognize the theme music when you hear it.

    new car, bit expensive

    They all are, these days. I think the designers in recent years have decided that chassis rigidity is more important than light weight when it comes to handling. They may be right, I dunno. I still can't get my head around a 2900 pound "Mini." :eek: :D

    Light weight felt hats

    Well, if you're looking at vintage hats, the lightest felt I've found is my Royal Stetson Playboy. It's extremely thin and it's the weapon of choice when the temps go over 100F and the humidity's low. I think it provides more sun protection than a straw. Of course, if it's muggy, out comes...

    Movies That Make You Smile

    Tucker is the movie that first came to mind when I read this thread. I was beaming for hours afterward when I first saw this movie.

    Adam Derby, Not

    That reminds me of a nice black Dobbs fedora I snagged on the 'Bay some months back. It was also described as a "Derby" or "Bowler" but I could easily see it was an open-crowned fedora. It turned out to have a 2-1/4" brim which suits me better than a true "stingy" when I'm in a short-brimmed mood.

    Are you a Fogey, Old Boy, Old-Boy-Hip, Hip or a Slick

    I wore my brown pinstripe 3-piece suit to work last night, along with my brown Homburg. Put me down for "Fogey." lol

    How we dress and what we drive

    1966 NSU Prinz and 1961 Morris Minor 1000: The picture is from 1966, when the NSU was brand new.

    Getting a californian driverslicence?

    Look into something called an "international driver's license." I'm not sure if you have to get a license from your home country first, though.

    The tie, a date-killer??

    LA Times says ties are out, so that means they're coming back. I go through phases of wearing them on a regular basis and then not wearing one for quite a while. Since discovering the Lounge a year ago, I've re-connected with my inner grownup and I'm back in suits and ties with a vengeance...

    Have You Ever Met A Movie/TV Star or Celebrity?

    I've seen a few, but never really met any, apart from one or two I've talked with in my business. Recently though, I attended the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony for legendary Los Angeles radio DJ Rodney Bingenheimer, and there were quite a few musicians there, and also actress Pauley...

    This was parked out my front door today...

    That is a nice Caddy. :) Anybody ever ride in one of those modern "Stretch Limos"? I can't find anything luxurious about sliding through a standard car door and crawling on my hands and knees to my seat. :rage:

    The Quintessential WWII Era Hat?

    L.A.'s blowing away ...

    It's amazing how a dry-rotted tree can look just fine, right up until it blows over and shatters into many pieces on the ground. Fortunately in the case I saw yesterday, it fell on a lawn and didn't hit any structures or cars.

    How we dress and what we drive

    That 300C caught my eye, too. I'm partial to that vanilla ice cream color they offer.

    How we dress and what we drive

    I only get tickets in 4-cylinder cars, so they're out. Seriously, I've never gotten a ticket in a V-8 or a 6 or even my Mercedes 5 cylinder Diesel, but I've gotten at least one ticket in each of my 4-cylinder rides. Oh, and in the last few days I saw an Aston DB6 and a late '50s Mercedes...

    Revisited: The Double-breasted Blazer

    So that was you? One appeared in my coat pocket while I was strolling the deck of the Queen Mary, but I chalked it up to ghosts. lol

    Need a new idiot box.

    I managed to snag one of the last of the Sony CRT tube-type HDTVs for less than $500, a floor display model at a local independent electronics store. I absolutely love it. Yeah, it's heavy and it's only a 34" but the picture is superb.
