    Afghanistan Brown

    As much as I like it, aesthetically speaking, would the classic olive drab colors even work with modern U.S. military uniforms? What I mean is, would it actually be any more or less functional than it had been in the past?

    Do you wear a fedora with your leather jacket?

    That sure is a good point, "he's bagged it for himself!" Some looks are so identified with one person or character, it's a stereotype. It doesn't have to necessarily be just Indiana Jones for example. Contrast collar and cuff shirts are often associated with Wall Street's Gordon Gekko, for...

    Unpopular movie opinions...

    I'm not into Pulp Fiction myself. I wasn't even able to finish watching it for a film class I had going on three years ago. I watched about half of it, and decided on a good night's rest instead of staying up to watch it all. I did OK on the quiz though. I think Tarantino's best movie is...

    I don't have a girlfriend either. As a matter in fact, I've never had one. I have been approached from time to time by girls, and chat before or after a class, but I've never got into a relationship. I have to admit, my lifestyle has never been very social. I usually keep to myself, at home...

    HELP!!!!! Homburg Troubles!!!

    Yeah, the Stetson St. Regis is usually grey in most of the ebay pictures I've seen of one. Even my own is light grey colored. It's definitely a nice hat, and if you could get one yourself, that would be great. There are sometimes other brand's homburgs on ebay too, but I mostly see these St...

    HELP!!!!! Homburg Troubles!!!

    You're talking about the "curled up brim," right? I think a lot of modern manufacturers make them this way, for some reason. But the ones up top are cheaper, wool felt hats, what you might want is something better quality. I think Stetson still makes a homburg, as well as Biltmore, Dobbs, and...

    "It's Indiana Depp! Johnny... in brown fedora and leather jacket."

    Sorry for the stereotype, but I think Johnny Depp here comes off as pretty steampunk/dieselpunk looking, more like that anyway than Indiana Jones. The pinstripe vest, trousers, and scarf have a lot to do with my perception...

    Congratulations, Doctor Doran!

    Ancient history? Congratulations, Doran! Ancient history interests me as well, although I may pursue either a more general history degree, or archaeology and classics. I would have went to Berkeley myself, but apparently, my application was rejected outright for "not being on time." It was...

    Do you wear a fedora with your leather jacket?

    I definitely understand where you are coming from. I even do this myself, out of habit. The "dressing for yourself" thing's fine with me, but I'd like to try to appear as well-dressed as I can, practically speaking. Timeless, classic attire aids in this, whether of a vintage or more modern fit...

    vintage first names no longer in use today or not popular anymore

    Two names don't seem particularly common these days, among my generation here in L.A. Richard Lucy I meet, or hear of people with these names more from the older crowd.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I just saw Taxi Driver (1976), directed by Martin Scorsese, and starring Robert De Niro. It was a great film, very deep. I can actually identify somewhat with the main character, Travis Bickle, with regard to loneliness, depression, going on and on with the grind of day-by-day life, and so on...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    That is a very nice porkpie, Sans Witt! One of the nicest I've seen so far. How wide is the brim, and how tall is the crown?

    Dressing Up for Eating Out - WSJ article

    That was an extremely interesting article; a social commentary on the dress that seems to prevail during our times. Typically, my style is almost completely "business" or "smart" casual, anyway. I enjoy dressing this way, so I don't apparently have the problem most men may have with regard to...

    Tom Brady and his Panama

    The hat's cool, but I think the longer hair's just OK on him. He probably likes it that way... I mean it's not ideal, shorter hair would look better with the hat, but it doesn't look awful for his kind of look.

    Do you wear a fedora with your leather jacket?

    I get you, it's a very good style, it really should be, but it's one that you know will almost certainly have automatic associations drawn towards it... I have worn my brown Fed IV with my own jacket just for fun, one particular day, though. Not one single Indy comment.

    How often did the average man get a haircut?

    Hmm, thanks for your input. Myself, I tend to get my haircut every two or three months. That's been pretty usual for me since the past two or three years. I used to go less often, but not to the point of every having hair extend to shoulder length (a cousin did/does though). It's been so far a...

    Hat Sightings

    I saw a man wearing what looked like one of those Official Indiana Jones hats, probably the fur felt version. I said to him, "Hey, cool hat, man!" I heard him say, "Thanks." That was cool, I don't actually compliment others too often. I'm kind of shy, but I think I'll take up complimenting more...

    How often did the average man get a haircut?

    This is a history related question I have. I've been wondering out of curiosity, how often the average man during the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, maybe even 1950s and '60s to a point, had their haircut at the barber. I suppose there's no way of knowing an exact statistic, but does anyone here have...

    Do you wear a fedora with your leather jacket?

    How many of you wear your fedora hats with your leather jackets or coats? For some reason, I have a bit of an aversion to wearing one with a leather jacket myself. I have on occasion worn my Akubra Fed IV, vintage Stetson St. Regis, and Open Road with a G-1, but these have only been about a...
