    What are you wearing today??

    I went for a long (roughly 6 hours) walk, it was a hot day here in Ireland, but i have no car so i have to make do. I got a second hand jacket and shirt from some folks in clare in a van and thats basically what i've got here. Nothing special, but i'm not trying to stand out more than i do already.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I just saw the Field. Great movie, really has parts of Ireland to a T, even now. The American managed to stand out completely with his fancy coats and hats for all you fedora loungers, and of course, everything else was set in Ireland at some point between the 1920s and 1950s i'd say, but since...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I won two hats on ebay last month that looked pretty nice for cheap too. I haven't seen them yet unfortunately, as they are waiting for me in NYC. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170466775519&_trksid=p2759.l1259 a scala. and...

    What are you wearing today??

    I finally finished up my working over here but i went cycling before i left. I figured the folks here might appreciate the photo i took over by the bridge during my cycle (it was a beautiful day out).

    Orlando, Fl:Any Hat stores Not to miss?

    I've got some folks in Apopka, i'm there nearly every 6 months until about a year ago- its a nice area. You won't find many hat shops to my knowledge- most of the shops there are the big malls, florida is, at least that area, one giant strip mall type environment with one big mall after another...

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    On the general question- i am not sure we'd all fit neatly under one category or another. there are some folks who are "stuck in the 1940s" in every single way, some who simply like a certain aspect, be it hats, the clothes, or the pinup models or the cars, for some i'd say it has to do with mod...

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    No worries, while this would make a worthwhile debate elsewhere, i don't want to go down that road myself- i wrote that last post when i was on the verge of passing out and drunk.

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    For the absolute risk of being out on a limb ( and i HOPE this post isn't political, but rather just informative), this should be clarified- nazism isn't "far right" in the traditional sense. nazism has two branches- the hitlerite branch and the strasser branch. Neither would qualify as "right...

    What are you wearing today??

    I've got a tweed tie or something myself i often wear back here. If you are referring to dr. who, don't! the guy we were working for for a month used to watch that show every single day loudly on his TV over here.... i couldn't stand it. Maybe i only say it as an outsider unfamiliar with the...

    American Accents in the Golden Era

    Well you still DO here various accents, you can still tell one one is from the bronx or brooklyn or whatnot (even for my generation i know folks who have strong brooklyn/bronx accents). I don't know what a queens accent sounds like, but i can say that Ireland is host to dozens of accents, one...

    What are you wearing today??

    Good stuff. We're holed up at another hotel until tomorrow then i'm back to square one living in a caravan with no internet access. The hotel is at Spanish Point so the view is ok but without transport i've kind of just lounged around here all day. i did get a good shot taken over by the beach ...

    What are you wearing today??

    This was during the day in Gort. I was trying to go for casual- only brought two suits as i said so i had to make due a bit here, with a friend i'm doing work with nearby now. Just a pullover sweater, shirt and tie and slacks.

    Pocket Watch Question

    Right that is the kind of hook i was referring to. You can't find new chains that don't have it, unfortunately, but you can put the watch on an old one. If you are putting a watch on workpants though, they are great.. and any watch you get that comes with those probably isn't too dear in price...

    Pocket Watch Question

    I've had this issue, i try to wear a vest with my suits so i can just slip it into it, but since many of my suits either won't match my vests or i'm not in the mood for the three piece, i usually use the pants pocket. Some of my suits have a pocket on the belt loop which works great, but most...

    What are you wearing today??

    thats a solid look sproily, but i can't imagine how people would receive boaters in Finland.. they'd probably even get an eye in the south of the USA these days. But if the weather gets warm enough, go with it, its only a dead style if no one has the guts to pull it off

    Speaking of reactions to vintage...

    I've been in really rural Ireland so i've tried not to stick out too much, i've only worn my fedora once in Galway City. No bad reactions really, infact i bumped into a fellow wearing a fedora as well, we doffed hats, shame i didn't get a photo. I got a few dr. zhivago comments from some young...

    What are you wearing today??

    Well i've been doing farmwork in ireland since january. I've been in the middle of nowhere for a month and mostly have been living in wellington boots. But i've been to Galway town and the Gort once or twice, and will be sticking around until May 2nd. I had 0 internet access for the time. It was...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    you like gilliam's other movies? It certainly was long and there was a plotpoint which stumped me but i thought all in all it was a good film. I agree with the folks who saw the road.. great film.

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    What i notice today is that when you are wearing a shirt and tie or clothing, people automatically assume you are "going somewhere" or you came from "somewhere", ie a job interview or a fancy job. If you are buying groceries or shopping you just put on a pair of jeans and a t shirt or even less...
