    out of the past

    Hmm? I'm not familiar with the movie but would venture to say that in most period films there wasn't any difference that I ever noticed. The thugs and the detectives wore similar hats in my memory.[huh]

    "Take your hats off, you are indoors".

    OK most of my going out consists of taking my Packard to classic car events. Usually there is casual restaurant adjacent that the goers patronize. I'll pop off my fedora and sit it on the table while I eat. The guys mostly don't remove their ball caps. Some with Panamas or planters hats do...

    I inherited this hat.

    At any rate it is a men's dress hat that will go with anything anywhere.:)

    Women without hats

    In So. Cal. you will see an occassional wide floppy brim felt fedora-style woman's hat worn. In the summer many will wear "sun hats" at outdoor events. They range from inexpensive to fairly decent. So while we see some resurgence in men in fedoras or Panamas the women are not going back to...

    Who cares about the boardroom?

    Dressing for normal business means a suit and tie. It depends on your company as to how lavish you need to go. How many people really need to wear $3000 suits for the ivory tower sessions in a corporation? I was involved in visits to customers, business-related functions from dinners to...

    Enough with the logos

    Small embroidered logos like the Izod 'gator never bothered me. It's the huge ones plastered on items nowadays that looks retarded.

    The shoulder belt

    Carebear I've seen an inexpensive kind of fuzzy material pad piece that you can put over the belt. I suppose it velcros or snaps on. Anyhow it is actually made to keep the neck from chaffing due to the sharp belt edge. I know I've seen them in those mail order catalogs which have all sorts of...

    PC vs Mac - Apple looks very attractive right now!!

    Anyone contemplating switching to a Mac from a PC should bug a friend with a Mac and ask them to load the software YOU will be using on a regular basis to see if it is going to work. The hardware is only the 1st investment. It's not just about reliability or friendlyness. If you have to...

    Ridiculous prices

    Well I gotta figure that there are a LOT of fedoras out there. They've continued unabated on Ebay for the past couple years that I've been looking. You can always see plenty. A check just showed 332 "vintage fedoras" and 952 "fedoras" so I don't think they're rare. But they are like...

    A treasure restored...

    Hey Tony I'll have to look for one of those old burlap dessert water bags. We used to see a lot of them on the cars in the 50-60s when we'd travel. I ought to find one for my Packard. I got the curb feelers, red crown valve caps and the Thermador swamp cooler everyone had in the 50s before...

    A treasure restored...

    There is nothing wrong with putting modern running gear in cars yous actually desire to drive more than just around your home area. The main thing is you gotta get modern brakes. Way too many cars are destined to put around the block at 30 MPH beacuse they can't go and stop with modern...

    Sartorial Objections

    Well there is a difference in dressing casual for any era and dressing like a clown.lol I have no problem with very casual dress unless it disrespects the venue like a fine restraunt, playhouse etc. It's the shake-your-head attire that looks like a retarded 3 year old dressed in the dark from...

    The Evergreen Aviation Museum

    You know I can't figure out why they moved the bird up there. The site under the dome near the Queen Mary was full of other historic aircraft and memoribilia that made for a great atmosphere.

    Mission Impossible 3

    The MI formula has been one of pure non-stop entertainment for the sake of it. We need to sometime simply be entertained and escape to a movie like this forgetting all else. There is obviously a need for action for action's sake movies. They immerse you if you allow it and you don't need to...
