Band of Brothers question
Hello all, Does anyone know what kind of leather jacket David Schwimmer's character is wearing in "Band of Brothers"? I have never seen any episodes - me da asked me and he is internet-challenged. I tried to find a picture on Google and the only one I found it kinda looked like a dark...- matei

First vintage lid - age?
Thanks - I plan on keeping it for as long as possible. It is a classy hat compared to some of the things available on our side of the pond. -
Guys in clogs.
Brian May is a well known clog wearer... But I don't think he wears his with a suit. I don't think I'd go for that look myself, but if that is what floats your boat...- matei

First vintage lid - age?
Arghh! Thanks for letting me know! I have not the patience to faff around with this now, so I just linked right to the shared Yahoo album! -

First vintage lid - age?
Finally! Downloaded the fuzzy pics off me mobile... Royal Stetson - 1 Royal Stetson - 2 Royal Stetson - 3 Okay, so it doesn't look too Casablanca-esque in these shots, but in person it does. It is my favourite hat so far. It is straight as can be, I had to introduce a wee bit of... -
Brought suit in for cleaning - question
Hola amigos, I recently brought one of my suits in to the cleaners. Instead of the short exchange limited to "when do you want it back", I was asked how I wanted it cleaned, just standard steamed (?) or "hand brushed, finished and steamed". I was a bit unprepared - has anyone every heard... -
Shopping in London?
Hello all! I am posting this question on behalf of my wife... Would anyone know where to get some well-tailored, well-made "classic" women's clothing in London? We arrived here in Dublin a few months ago and my wife has tired of the same old, mass produced "High Street" fashions. Cheap...- matei

G-8 jacket anyone?
Greetings all, Does anyone here have a G-8 jacket? I'm curious to find out more on them. I've always liked the way they looked, especially the similarity to the Raiders-type jackets. Never much cared for the elastic on the other WWII-type jackets either...- matei

Fedora Lounge Merchandise
The pint glasses look good! I got the mug not too long ago as well. My friends have commented favourably on the mug. It is, however, gigantic! It is much larger than I thought (a good thing), and much larger than my other mugs at home. Now I know which one to use when I need some extra...- matei

Coen Bros
What Feraud said above is spot on. I really liked the film, but more for the visuals than the actual storyline. Until I'd seen this film, I wasn't too keen on Billy Bob, but I think he was very good in this film. I remember seeing it in Dublin at the UGC... The fact that it was B/W...- matei

Body Shop hair slick?
Has anyone here tried the Body Shop's "Hair Slick"? It is a "medium hold" product. I was using Murray's, but my wife doesn't really care for it. I have to admit that it is rather... emm... like using tar. I tried the "Hair Slick" and I'm not too thrilled with it. It smells nice, but that...- matei

Screen Names...
My screen name is my name. Matei is the Romanian version of Matthew... I use Matthew/Matt when I introduce myself to English speakers, but with family it is always Matei... or Mateias (mateiash - diminutive)...- matei

Shiny suits?
Greetings all, Question - what makes a suit "shiny"? I mean an undesirable type of shiny... For example, the other day I was waiting at the bus stop with my back to the sun. I noticed a high proportion of the suits worn by people coming in my direction displayed an underlying "shinyness"... -
old fashioned packages
Here in London we still have milkmen (!) and I've seen them deliver the milk in bottles... I think getting a parcel wrapped in twine and heavy brown paper is the coolest thing. Sadly enough I don't often have the opportunity to send them!- matei

First vintage lid - age?
... just an update on this old hat. After I cleaned it up a little with some steam and a brush, I shaped the brim a wee bit to give it some taper and a front pinch and voilá - an authentic "Casablanca"-looking hat! The brim seems a bit small and the ribbon a bit narrow to compare to the... -
First vintage lid - age?
Thanks for the reply. Yes, the edge is bound and there is plastic in the top of the liner. No XXX that I can see on the band... I'll see if I can look under the band for any clues. Cheers! -
First vintage lid - age?
Greetings all, Just thought that I'd post about a new "old" hat that I recently acquired, incidentally my first vintage hat. As some lowlife stole my digital camera, I can't post pictures as of yet, so I'll do my best to describe it. Maybe some knowledgeable soul can estimate its...
