    Bogarts Watch

    I found a link to an article about Longines watches that claims Bogie wore his own watch filming Casablanca and it was a Longines Tonneau like the one in the ad I posted. The one in the ad is the modern remake of Bogies watches style. Here is a link to the article...

    Longines is using Bogie in their advertising and even ran a contest to find the man most like him approximately 4 years ago. It was won by a retired New York City Police Detective. edited for spelling correction

    If I had to pick one girl from the golden era

    Stetson's 80s Indiana Jones official hat quality?

    I purchased one of these through mail order back then and was disappointed when it arrived. It was a low quality hat. It had a poor grade of felt. Eventually, I passed it on to Goodwill.

    I wear a hat year round I live in Winnipeg, Canada and it is hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I am talking about extremes of temperature ... summer temps will stay in the high 80's to high 90's and winter temps will drop to the -20's and -30's. In summer I wear a Panama straw when ever...

    Passing Indy's Hat

    Perhaps it is time to for Harrison Ford to retire from the role ... I am not surprised at Harrison Ford's comments. Indy is his character and Indy and the hat are inseparable. I think Harrison Ford will always be Indiana Jones but I would prefer a new actor take over the role of Indy much along...

    Do you wear all your hats the same way?

    I like my hats worn straight across the front from left to right. I wear them pulled low on the front mostly ... it keeps the sun out of my eyes.

    What do You Styling People Drink?

    While not a big drinker I do enjoy a dram of Whiskey now and then. I find the American, Canadian and Scottish version equally good yet unique. I do not have a preference between blended, single malt or single cask versions. I enjoy all types for their own uniqueness.
