    Let me run this by you...

    Hey Art, Any chance you'll be making a Stratoliner or 1940's Open Road style hat?

    Chihuahuas Attack!

    I nominate the Patterdale Terrier as bar none the nastiest, toughest, gamest dog on Earth (this is coming from a life long Pit Bull owner).

    DOWNFALL

    I rented DOWNFALL a couple of months ago (it had just come out on dvd). It's been stuck in my mind ever since. Best factual historical film I've seen in many years (and in some ways, maybe ever). That it features an non-judgemental attitude towards portraying a horrible moment in time is very...

    NYC - only one fedora sighting in midtown yesterday :-(

    Hey Greg, Take a bike ride across the bridge to South Williamsburg. You'll see a lot of fedora-wearing there!

    Cinderella Man

    This isn't quite quite correct, although it had long been the opinion of Baer's critics and detractors. Baer identified himself as Jewish because his father was Jewish, despite the fact that his family was not religous towards any faith. He grew up being picked upon by other kids because of his...

    1940?Ǭ¥s US Navy chambray shirt-comparison

    I bought a few of the chin-strapped, scalloped yoke Sugar Cane shirts from HPA earlier this year. Beautiful stuff. The pattern is based on an old Montgomery Ward design (I've come across several originals). They are my favorite shirts.

    1940?Ǭ¥s US Navy chambray shirt-comparison

    The Rickson's shirts are worth the extra twenty five bucks. Nice and hefty and cut very well.

    avirex?

    Also, be aware that there are two Real McCoy's currently operating, one in Japan and one in New Zealand. Personally I think that RMJ has an edge over RMNZ, but both of these companies along with Buzz Rickson's are at the top of the heap. BTW, the Avirex A-2s made for the Japanese markets are of...

    Cinderella Man

    Baer was certainly no Gene Tunney in terms of scientific boxing, but then again he was no Fritzi Zivic either. He actually fought a lot like Jack Dempsey minus the crouch. As portrayed in the movie, he was a noted clown both in and out of the ring but not quite the vulgar lout Howard would have...

    What do You Styling People Drink?

    Mostly Mexican beer and tequila, tho I'll not often turn down cheap red wine. Sake with Japanese grub, naturally.

    Since this is supposedly the right place to say it

    Ah. My mistake. My grandfather Arthur lives in an area of San Francisco which has long hosted a large Japanese population. When the relocation of Japanese-Americans began many of my grandfather's neighbors left family valuables with him for safe-keeping. More than a few of the people being...

    Since this is supposedly the right place to say it

    I find it ironic that you invoke the names of these particular historical figures in the name of your worries concerning the scant useage of the word "Jap" on this site in defense of a nation that has more officially sanctioned racism and apartheid than Saudi Arabia. Excuse the run-on.

    King Kong:reviews

    That IS surprising. I like Uma Thurman very much and didn't mean my comment as an insult to her, but she looks like much more of a world-wise/weary woman than the spunky and girlish Watts (at least to my ogling eyes).

    Since this is supposedly the right place to say it

    My friend Randall once drunkenly beat an Englishman senseless on Avenue B after being called a "Yank". Randall is from Arkansas and thought that the poor chap had called him a Yankee.

    The Big Christmas Can of Worms

    May the eye of Odin shine brightly upon you and your kinfolk. Happy Winter Solstice and, gods willing, may we all meet againa in Valhalla!

    Spiewak & Sons

    Jake, Next time I'm near 42nd St I'll stop by and see if they have any left in a 44 or 46 if you are interested.

    Spiewak & Sons

    Occasionally Kaufmann's Army Navy on 42nd Street will have a few of the Spiewak-Japan items. The B-10 and B-15a are not too shabby and were priced reasonably at around $150-$175, but they aren't in the same league as McCoy's or Rickson's.

    The Big Christmas Can of Worms

    Being an confirmed infidel, Christmas for me is essentially a bonus Thanksgiving. I am always happy to indulge in a feast with friends.
