    check out these home cinemas...wow

    Nautilus for me, it's the best of both worlds, vintage plus diving/aquatic. Titanic after that.

    I hope it was a natural death and not the doings of one of your felines...:eek:

    Where did your user name come from??

    It's an evolution of a handle I've been using for years. Aquatic-sounding because my primary hobby is scuba diving. My first choice was "brinydeep", but so many others used it as a handle when I tried to register on various forums such as Yahoo, et al, that I went with "brinysea". I used that...

    Roaring 20s/Prohibition party attire

    Thanks, those help, but yes, far out of my price range. I've been finding vintage "grandpa" shirts and the collars here and there on eBay, but they're all in merry ol' England and after shipping, cost nearly as much as the second link. None of them have been my size anyway. Interesting that...

    New to the forum! A couple questions..

    It's common practice, depending on how "hot" the item is. Most of the time though, I will decide what the most I will pay for an item is (including shipping) and just put a bid in and let it run its course. But if it's a prized item, I make no apologies for "swooping". It's even fun at times...

    New to the forum! A couple questions..

    That's the way I do it. I call it "watch and swoop". If I see something I really want, I put it on my watch list. Hopefully, the auction isn't going to end while I'm at work or someplace else. (I don't use any of the fancy stuff like being notified via text message if I'm outbid). I wait...

    What Are Your Exercise Programs?

    As a matter of fact, that was one of my New Year's resolves, change my diet and exercise. I've done it before and lost 32lbs, but went back to old habbits and gained most of it back. To answer your question, I put on exercise duds and just walk out the door. It's cheap, easy, and the cool...

    Am I doomed to no hat?

    Ok, I promise not to use the word "dork" anymore. Some good news - I got positive feedback from a lady friend whose opinions I trust: From: Robin To: Greg Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2008 12:16 PM Subject: Re: What do you think? Very nice, I think it looks better than a golfing hat or...

    Am I being paranoid?

    Not sure I understand. Are you staying in one spot the entire time? If so, then why would you leave valuable stuff in the car? Are you planning on buying a lot of stuff on your trip? If so, rather than lug it around with you, ship it home. It may add to the cost, but it'll set your mind at...

    Am I doomed to no hat?

    Not bad at all! I like it! It's even green (or it looks green on my pc) like that "how to choose a hat" website suggested (because of my grey). But I wonder if the suit makes a difference. I rarely wear them. In fact that pic was the last time I wore one, sadly to my Dad's funeral...

    George Brand Trousers

    I see you're wearing button-type suspenders/braces with them. Do they come prepped for them, or did you have to add the buttons? They appear to have belt loops also.

    Am I doomed to no hat?

    I actually saw one of those at "Old Duffers" in Pike Place Market! It was just missing the propellor!

    Am I doomed to no hat?

    Funny you should ask. It was RD as the young Vito in Godfather. The "newsboy" he wore struck me as a stylish "working class" appearance. But like I said earlier, he had a staff of pros, lighting, and camera angles working in his favor. As far as Fedoras, it wasn't a movie, but seeing some...

    Am I doomed to no hat?

    That pretty much describes my visit to Byrnie's. The young gal helping was good at retrieving hats in my size, but offered no advice on what suits me (but I didn't ask her either). Looking more closely at RD's pic, (granted, he's an actor with a staff of pros helping) it's not just "sitting on...

    The Cap Faction

    One of the things I like about FL is many times I have to look up terms that youse guys use, like in the post below yours, Shaul referred to a "B-cap", yet another name for the newsboy aka herringbone aka driving cap. When I googled "b-cap", I found this site that might be of interest to you...

    Same here! It looks like a still from a movie.

    Ah shucks I forgot about that "Tombstone" pic. The patch wasn't there for very long. two months in 1994:

    Am I doomed to no hat?

    When not at work or going out, I usually wear a baseball cap. But since finding FL, I liked the idea of switching to something more stylish. I managed to get downtown (Seattle) today to Byrnie Utz Hats. To get to the point, I tried on a few and honestly, I did not think I looked good in...
