    What are you listening to?

    Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but "A Day in the Life" by The Beatles, the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCUeia-nEio For some reason, this is my favorite Beatles song. It's got catchy lyrics, a good melody, and a hauntingly suspenseful orchestra...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Oh, I agree... I actually think The Mummy is a much better film than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Maybe even Mummy Returns too. I'm not sure how the third would compare to it though, and I've seen that discussed elsewhere, debating whether the third Mummy was better than the fourth Indy...

    R.I.P Marshal Matt Dillon

    R.I.P. I have not watched too much Gunsmoke, but in recent years I have managed to see a few episodes of this classic TV western. I vaguely remember watching it on Nick at Night years ago in the late '90s, I watched just about anything on that network, from I Love Lucy, to Andy Griffith, to The...

    What did you dream about last night?

    Whether for better or worse, I generally don't even remember my dreams/nightmares. I just forget them within five to ten seconds of waking up, most of the time. Whenever I do remember my dreams though, they're always strange and make little sense.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Last night, I watched The Mummy (1999) for what may be the third time ever. I enjoyed it; it's not quite like an Indiana Jones film, but it doesn't really try to be either. It's got it's own style, and is based off of an older film I think. I guess it helps that the study of mummies is an actual...

    Crown height ?

    I think western hat conventions generally favoring a slightly higher crown, from what I've seen and read here. That also happens to be the way that they're generally made. I personally go by the rule of wearing a fedora that is not quite half as high as my face, but almost there. If a fedora is...

    100 years ago today

    That's incredible to think of. As a matter in fact, I was thinking just yesterday of adding Titanic (Leonardo Di Caprio version) to my Netflix que to see it a second time. I have also seen the Nazi film about the Titanic as well. One thing that is saddening, is the fact that there are supposedly...

    Akubra Overload

    Off topic, but I just had to share this with you all. Even the popular online video game network Xbox Live has an Akubra hat now! http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Akubra/00000040-f393-a2c3-cf99-9db558580855 Hmm, I wonder which model it'd be?

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Le Samourai (Jean-Pierre Melville, 1967). Possibly one of my top five favorite films of all time, and maybe even features my favorite movie hat as well.

    Achieving the Indiana Jones look...without looking in costume??

    Right, it's likely just a coat from the 1980s, not vintage, but couldn't such exceptions to the rule have existed even then? Nowadays, you see both narrow, moderate, and wide lapel jackets being manufactured. Now it seems, sartorially we live in a more "tolerant" society. Would this have been...

    Achieving the Indiana Jones look...without looking in costume??

    I think that's cool. Apparently, you've made it a part of your style. Not all of us have the nerve to do that on most days though. I know I still haven't become accustomed to wearing one every day, even though there isn't anything really wrong with it, outside of maybe embarrassing two or three...

    It's that time of year !

    I'll still wear my felt hats this summer, but I've got to get myself a new straw hat to replace my first one from two years ago, which is pretty much ruined after getting wet and misshapen. Now it's only a really casual yard work hat.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Hitting the Open Road today. I went for a hike, just a walk's distance from the house. I still do keep it in the original hat box, too. I don't tend to do the same with my vintage Stetson or Akubra though, they just sit on top of a shelf until I grab one.

    Current Day Distractions - Teens Suffer From "Facebook Depresssion"

    I don't go on Facebook too much these days anymore. Even then, it's usually to check updates from close friends and family. It was fun creating my leather jacket user group though. I think I have 30 or so people in that one.

    i shrunk my cooper g-1 (on purpose)

    Just for your information, the leather on my jacket is marked as goat skin, and was made in Pakistan. It's a G-1 jacket by Sporty's Pilot Shop. I think it's of relatively lower end quality, in no way an Aero, Eastman, or anything like that.

    Achieving the Indiana Jones look...without looking in costume??

    I like both styles of jackets, but I tend to think that the non-elastic/knit cuff jackets like Indiana Jones look and drape better when unzipped or unbuttoned. Knit cuff/elastic jackets can get a bit baggy looking at the sides when unzipped. Also, if you ever come across that particular photo of...

    Achieving the Indiana Jones look...without looking in costume??

    No problem. I don't wear my fedoras with my leather jacket either for that reason, except very rarely. It's just outside my comfort zone (right now, anyway).

    Achieving the Indiana Jones look...without looking in costume??

    This is a very good topic idea. It's clear to me that you don't quite desire to be dressed to the nines in Indy gear: You want to achieve the general style, but you don't want to be seen in costume... Well, with that said, do you frequently wear a fedora with your clothes? Absolutely nothing...

    i shrunk my cooper g-1 (on purpose)

    I wear size medium jackets, and my jacket is one (size 40-42r fit). If it feels a little baggy on me, especially the sleeves and sides, would it be a bad idea to try doing what you did, but maybe not soaking it as much, then put it in the dryer? Would you say the difference in size on your...
