    What are you wearing today??

    I love it! Very Eve O'Connell from the Mummy! A PERFECT and casual look for the Summer! Then to throw in that it was hand made.... Did I say perfect?? My only complaint is that we cant see your eyes. There's nothing more alluring than a woman's eyes! As my old photography instructor always...

    Most attractive 30's - 40's movie star (dolls for the guys, guys for the dolls)

    I personally have always had a thing for Rosalind Russell. Probably because she had that “cute-yet spunky” attitude, to where you could take her out to meet the fellas and she would be able to have a good time and hold her own, without being too clingy. But if I had to pick one, I’ve also always...

    Does vintage clothing attract a rude/violent response?

    Don't pay the Barbies any mind C-dot. I'll bet you looked like a million bucks!

    Theme song

    OK so there have been others. But since Jan 5th when I got injured on the job and the doc said no work for 6 months to a year, my theme has been Man of Constant Sorrow! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08e9k-c91E8 You know those days when you wish you didn't have to go to work.... be careful...

    The Streetcar/Trolley/Tram/Electric Railway Thread

    OK I have to add this place for all those in the area or that want to come and visit the Chicago area! It's called the Union Illinois Railway Museum. They have constant running streetcars, a zephyr and a steamer! Here's the website! http://www.irm.org/schedule/index.html Last year on August...

    Does vintage clothing attract a rude/violent response?

    It’s funny. I remember as a kid I dressed “retro” or “vintage” out of necessity more than choice. Bottom line is that we were poor. And coming from a single parent household, I received three nice pairs of pants (Two for dress, one pair of jeans) and three shirts every school year. So at a young...

    What are you wearing today??

    I couldn't agree more! BTW: it's good to see more folks here from Wisconsin! You ever get over to the Milwaukee or Janesville area?

    Does vintage clothing attract a rude/violent response?

    I'd have to say that's pretty much the kid stuff and cookie cutter looks of the current "It" girls. People in the know, know the difference between what's sharp and what's not. I've always liked to see folks who have their own image. I also think that fellas feel self conscious when they're...

    The Curse of Indiana Jones

    Regrettably that's the only reason I don't wear brown fedoras. Yet I have also received the "Hey Indy!" comment when wearing a natural colored straw fedora. However the more complements I get and the more my hats have become a regular part of my wardrobe, I've pretty much got to the point where...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Excellent idea Chicago! I like it because it's a style you don't regularly see fellas wearing. I also always liked the rolled edges of a bowler or derby, but until now was reluctant to bash a crown. I actually wouldn't mind one in a pecan or taupe with contrasting ribbons! See! Now you got me...

    Night Owls only

    I'm getting too old for this Well at least someone is still up to talk to. Anyway, yesterday i get into a pretty good knock down drag out at work. (LEO stuff) Well, needless to say, I must be getting too old for this crap. Because my left shoulder and bicep are messed up and my left...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Starting a hat shop From the sound of it, there are more than a few regulars who either work in or are fortunate enough to own their own hat shop. Now I'm sure that there has to be some good advice that could be shared for an entrepreneur who would like to retire from the rat-race and instead...

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    Now all jokes aside, I have to say that what you did for those newly weds is very VERY cool and selfless! At the very least, you gave them something they'll always remember! And since you're giving things away.... how about the pink slip for that sweet sled of a car! Just look at the chrome!!!
