    Lovely color photos of Dublin in 1961

    Alot of americans in ireland or any irish coming back from America would bring back their cars with them, despite the inconvenience of changing everything from right to left etc. My father tells me about a few of his friends who did this, only to have the cars not last too long on the awful...

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    granny glasses: I think these are what some of you are referring too.

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    Maybe i've lost my mind or i'm seeing things, but is the man standing behind those two muslim women .. completely naked? what's the story there? I know some muslim hijabis, one went to the beach just wearing what she essentially wears everyday and just going into the water like that. It makes...

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    I agree with marc's assessment, i've noticed that myself in pre 1920s suits. But i really don't see what the issue is with the woman's clothes there. She's dressed very nicely as far as i can tell, and the hat is great. granted i can't imagine a woman dressing like that now, but one can always...

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    Oh i'm not talking about the suits. Stingy brims aren't so bad, i don't like them as much as the older styles but thats not what i'm talking about when i talk about style. If we are just talking about suits than its a different story altogether, i'm talking about in general. Thats why i...

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    Early- i'd say the time when the transition occurred. The Late 60s couldn't exist without the early 60s. The 70s couldn't have happened as they did without the 60s. In a way you can even blame the late 50s ( i don't believe the world suddenly went to hell as soon as the 60s came about...

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    While i'd obviously say the 2000s, i'd say the 60s were worse simply because they had precedent- for us today it takes a conscious effort to find a hat, get a proper suit, and wear it. In the 1960s it was only the other day that it was de rigeur. They had the chance to really maintain the status...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. If you like terry Gilliam, you'll like this movie. If not, you won't. Its a great Gilliam work, but its as usual, exhausting and overindulgent in length. But that is fine with me.

    What Are You Reading

    !!! I've been trying to get ahold of this one for awhile, is this an english translation, or an abridged copy, or whatnot? (apologies for the double post.)

    What Are You Reading

    I read Things Fall Apart and actually enjoyed it. (SPOILERS)While its obviously sympathetic to the natives and anti imperialist, it doesn't compromise in showing some of their less admirable practices. The main character is admirable despite this, merely because he refuses to compromise, and...

    What Happened to Chivalry?

    On the issue of morals and such, these things are not one long continuous slide into the abyss (or progressivism, however you'd like to see it), it swings from one way to another, the Greeks of the Hellenistic age would have seemed degenerated by their ancestors in the 6th century the same way...

    vintage FEDORA by Hughes & Hatcher 7-1/8ths size

    I just got this hat two days ago on ebay. Its a GREAT hat and i'd love to keep it (its in what appears to be perfect condition, as you can tell from the link on ebay) but for my slightly larger head size. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280442000892 Keep in mind that this...

    Television... who's sick of it? Anyone?

    I have a large television in my room but it doesn't get reception, i stopped watching TV gradually about 5-6 years ago and havent' watched it since. I'm better for it, everytime someone asks me to watch it or i sit down and a TV is on, its honestly mind boggling how anyone can sit there for...

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

    such SAD news, i really LOVE this hat. Its not huge like my fed IV, and not too stingy like my Knox, its the quintessential fedora you'd see on a cop in a cop drama set in the 50s or so. I emailed the seller to see if they have anything like it in 7 3/8ths. I have no interest in making a stink...

    So what did you wear to ring in the New Year?

    Normally i'd stay home , i'm not a big fan of parties or any of that but i went out with some friends and wore the same old fed IV with an overcoat along with my latest ebay victory, the 9 dollar blue pinstripe (no pics of it yet). Well no one there thought it was 9 dollars and despite not...

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

    I just won this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280442000892. I have no gripes about what i got, its a great hat, but for one thing- its a 7 and 1/8th size and i'm a 7. 3/8ths. IT simply will not go all the way down on my head. I've always been iffy about head sizes (some 7...

    Poll: Button or snaps on your suspenders?

    I wear clip ons if the pants don't have holes and i don't want to put on a belt. But i prefer button suspenders. I do not know how to sew, i usually get the tailors at the dry cleaners to put in buttons for me. Its a good 10-12 dollars but its worth it.

    Paranormal Activity

    Honestly i thought this was the worst movie i've ever had to sit through and i've sat through veritable stinkers. Nothing happens. My door creaks like the one in the film all the time, but you don't see anyone filming movies about me sleeping. I can't understand why people liked it, i liked last...
