What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
A film I've always wanted to see, but fate keeps conspiring to prevent it...repeatedly! It was even on TCM recently and I, again, managed to miss it!- DNO

Black Book (2006). An exceptional Dutch film about the Resistance in WW2...well worth watching. Great story, excellent acting. Very glad I didn't miss this one.- DNO

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
I don't know of any store on this side of the pond that sells Bates. I was lucky enough to find this pristine Burlington model at a local thrift store for an embarrassingly low price. Beautiful quality hat but some loungers may find the crown a tad low. -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Well, I've never posted in this thread before but it was such a beautiful day today I thought I'd use my cell to snap a shot of today's hat...my Bates Burlington model. That little touch of red on the side is my Remembrance Day poppy. So...here's my first post on this thread! No way I can... -
What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The Big Sleep. My current favourite Bogart movie. The dialogue is sheer delight. As long as you don't agonize about following the convoluted plot, it's a joy to watch.- DNO

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I'm not familiar with Mon Colonel. I'll keep an eye open for it. The conflict in Algeria seems to be much ignored yet it had such a strong impact on the French political scene. It was really one of a number of 'minor' wars fought by former imperial powers trying to grasp some of their former...- DNO

Interesting co-incidence. It would be interesting to compare Intimate Enemies and its examination of how one can be hardened by exposure to brutality with Breaker Morant (1980) and it's treatment of a similar theme. Mmmm...I have a copy of Breaker somewhere around here... "We applied rule...- DNO

Shaping a fedora?
I have successfully reshaped/creased/bashed several wool hats using the same technique used on fur felt hats...steam and patience. They are certainly not as easy to work with as fur felt hats but they can be done. The links are broken for me as well but I know there are lots of threads on... -

Just finished watching Intimate Enemies. Exceptional...one of the best films I've watched in quite some time. Highly recommended but disturbing.- DNO

If you can find them, try The Trench (1999) and Beneath Hill 60 (2010). British and Australian films (respectively), they're both well-done WW1 movies.- DNO

THE SATIN FINISH/LONG HAIR CLUB
Here's my contribution to the long hair club. It started life as a more Alpine looking hat, but I changed the crease and replaced the rope hatband with grosgrain. I still have to get around to moving the bow more forward. -
Berets, Anyone?
Great hats, in my opinion. Love my fedoras, but I love my beret too! -
Ask a question, get an answer
I know I'm tuning into this conversation a little late but I would highly recommend checking out any thrift stores or estate sales or church rummage sales in your area. I have several Stetsons, a Dobbs, a Knox, a couple of Borsalinos, an Akubra, a Bates of London, a Christies, and more...all...
