Second-thoughts on vintage wearing in public...
I used to worry I'd get rolled and wake up in an alley wearing nothing but my non-vinatge socks and underpants. I worry that the sun will ruin my ties and jackets. I worry that my son will lay one of his baby-snot boutonnieres on me. Life's too short to borrow trouble. Wear what you...- jake_fink

Golf, the game not the sport.
I like golf. I mean playing it, not watching it. It's relaxing exercise in the open air with the birds singing and the sun shining. It's one of the quintessential Golden Era pass times since it grew in popularity with the rise of the car and when land was still cheap. The golf sequence in The...- jake_fink

Yeah, I know what you mean. Is the avatar you're referring to the one of my son with one of my hats? I needed a little change. Too much cute can only be cured with a little HORROR. :D -
Book o' wool
I have a couple of sample books from the 30s. Some of them are missing the fabric samples - just a yellowed sqare of old glue, but the ones that do have fabric are astonishing. The suiting is so heavy that - in this weather - I can only think of how hot they'd be. Of course, there were no... -

New (Vintage) Champ
Hi Besdor, The shape, the height of the crown with a short brim, made me think this was probably from the 30s. Can you tell me a little about Champ history so I can place the hat better, as I'm not very familiar with them. And can anyone hazard a guess as to how popular a wintergreen... -

Give My Rebukes to Broadway
The Three Penny Opera and Brecht's work as a whole is by nature politcal, and a play has got to be able to survive multiple and re - interpretations, otherwise it dies. Having said that, I'm sorry that this production was not successful. The Three Penny Opera is a great peice of work and...- jake_fink

New (Vintage) Champ
I don't buy a lot on Ebay anymore, especially not hats, but my brother bought me this little number using buy it now. It's a very light minty green champ with a 5 1/2 inch crown and a 2 inch brim. It's a soft fuzzy felt with some slight moth damage to the underside of the brim. The pics, if... -

Soccer/Footy fans?
Things would be pereptually quiet in our household (every four years anyway) if we were to wait for Canada to qualify. Pick a neighbour, pick a bar, pick a condiment.... do you like salsa, sauerkraut or kimchi... now you have someone to root for. :D- jake_fink
