    Moving to the East Coast, Might wear the fedoras more

    Come to think of it, I probably would wear fedoras a little more if I moved to the East Coast, especially one of the more populated areas. Lately, I've been on a sort of country/western kick, wearing an Open Road and wide-brimmed straw Sunbody more often these days. I reserve my best fedora, a...

    We could use a chat room on this forum, what do ya say????

    I didn't read everything, but is this idea dead? I think it really can work if a couple more moderators were enlisted, if there currently is too much work for the ones at present. I'd rather not have to start a whole new thread for every single little thing I'd want to discuss, and I'm pretty...

    The general decline in standards today

    When did reality TV start to take off, anyway? I'm young, born in 1989, but I still remember how in the 1990s, sitcoms were still very much popular. When did the drastic change take place? It seems like all anybody talks about these days, with regard to television, is some reality show (Jersey...

    Is this a decent suit to start with? (modern suit)

    I'm back. I just came back from a week vacation up in the mountains. Let me try to respond to some recent posts. I had recently checked out Paul Frederick's website, and this is a model that seems good enough for me, below. I'm wondering if you were referring to their suit separates as being...

    Why are black trousers so unpopular?

    While this isn't necessarily regarding proper slacks, recently I opted to buy the navy blue chinos rather than the black ones, probably a subconscious decision made in the moment. I guess I thought that the blue in the navy (though dark and close to black) would look more interesting than the...

    What Kind of Hats Can't You Stand?

    Yeah, that seems to be the board preference as far as fedoras go. Don't get me wrong, there are many fantastic looking hats of this variety on the board, but I think straight sides doesn't look as good as they could on some faces, mine probably included depending on the hat. Same goes with crown...

    Is this a decent suit to start with? (modern suit)

    Of course, thank you. That's why I had asked. What do I know about measuring suit quality, with my amount of experience? If any of you can however, try to find me a decent quality and affordable (that is, below 200 dollars) suit for my budget, and post a link to their website. I'd prefer to be...

    Is this a decent suit to start with? (modern suit)

    I'm looking to purchase my first suit, as I'll be heading off to USC next spring. While browsing around Ask Andy's, I found a link to this: http://www.mensusa.com/products.aspx?id=1377 It seems like a good price, right in my range. It's supposed to be a somewhat slimmer fit (even on their...

    Hair cuts

    Gene and Twill, sharp looking haircuts in those pictures, and Locklear, what movie is that photo from? As for me, lately I've been thinking about growing my hair a bit longer before getting my next haircut. Something sort of like Clint Eastwood in the mid/late 1960s, but not quite as long as...

    What Kind of Hats Can't You Stand?

    There are only certain hats that I might seriously want to wear. They've either got to look absolutely acceptable on me, or have a perceived novelty value that I just can't miss the style for (my Indiana Jones style hat is a borderline case, as while I do wear it sometimes, I think these styles...

    Sure, why not? There are lots of other boards that do it. They should be moderated somewhat, though.

    Pomade

    You're talking about Dax Wave & Groom, right? It does have a tendency to dry up in a matter of hours. In fact, with almost a year's experience using the product under my belt, I'm thinking that it's a decent product for achieving the James Dean look, although it isn't completely dry; there is...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Apart from the fact that I like science fiction and westerns, Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig starring together are the main reason I would be interested in watching the film. From some comments here, Loungers like it. Would you say that their acting was good here? The film isn't supposed to be a...

    Tampa Rays wear fedoras, ride train to Boston

    I notice there's a mention of "1950s style fedoras" in the article. Are there any pictures of them wearing the hats? They're probably going to be stingy brims at least, but most likely wool felts or those plaid ones. I think this is cool that they're doing a throwback thing, but Maddon could...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I had just finished watching a 1966 episode of The Saint, starring Roger Moore (my second favorite James Bond actor). The episode was the one about the Loch Ness Monster (I forgot the title), and unfortunately, the version I saw was actually with the Polish dub done over the regular English...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I had just seen the 1931 Dracula film, starring Bela Lugosi as the Count. It's definitely the best Dracula film I've seen so far. I know that there's a few more I'll probably see eventually, especially Nosferatu which came before it in 1922 (is he supposed to be Dracula?).

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    Is there any idea how long Netflix will have Mad Men on instant play, Netflix? This is the reason why I've started watching Mad Men recently, and I'm actually pretty impressed. The show is almost like watching a good movie, and each episode feels like a short film. I'm almost through watching...

    Coming this fall: ABC's "Pan Am" -- "Mad Men" in the skies?

    Because I'm already into Mad Men (and I've only started watching that one recently, as in last week, Season 1), I might try to watch this too. Any idea which year this show is supposed to be set, at first? I can usually guess a decade, but I have a harder time with individual years.

    Pleats and cuffs are back babay!

    I actually don't wear pleats as much as I used to, because I believe flat front pants look and fit better on me. Around the waistline, the fabric would "bulge" out somewhat, and flat fronts do that less on me than pleats. Of course, the pleats I'm referring to are the modern reverse style, not...

    Vintage re-imaginings of Star Wars toys

    I've got to admit, the creepiest version of Darth Vader is in the Noir Wars line... I wouldn't want to cross him. He has that Arnold Toht look about him that's just so menacing. My favorite two versions are Noir Wars and World Wars, those all make the characters look a bit cooler than their real...
