    Which Suits Here are 1920s Period-Accurate?

    Argh, I let an assumption sway me! Like Flat Foot mentioned, I assumed the costumers would have had the good sense to be ultra-correct with the lead character's wardrobe. Fool! lol Sorry Marc, I couldn't see the picture you posted. Blasted work computer blocks everything. First place I...

    Which Suits Here are 1920s Period-Accurate?

    Wow - this reveals how badly I need to touch up on my era-identification. I see [*edit: someone] has responded, so I'll dip my toes in. Shout me down when I'm wrong, and PLEASE let me know where I falter. I say the two brown suits. Left suit: the higher button placement, as well as the...

    Anybody In A Hat Club?

    PJT113, what you need is a Fedora Lounge Meetup. I see you've posted in the Midwest Meetup thread. Just keep your eyes out. You'd be surprised how much fun those kinds of things can be!

    9mm or 45cal

    Great point about the misfires, FP. There are a line of firearms (Hi-Point) that one may purchase new for roughly $100 - I believe the 9mm is $95 and the .45 is $110. My county sheriff noted that these pieces of junk are often found in the waistbands of local crack lords and gang-stars. Now...

    German pensioner eats 64-year-old US lard

    I'll tell you what; when I stopped eating so much rice, beans, breads, margarine, vegetable oils, and soy milk, and replaced it with my childhood foods like butter, whole milk, eggs and animal fat, I dropped 40lbs, blood pressure went from 150/99 to 120/78, my blood sugar dropped below...

    Movies you wished you had never watched.

    Or what about in To Catch a Thief where Hitchcock uses fireworks? Boy, those were the days. Just sayin'. Oh, and careful with the homeschooling. Not that Catholic school's any better! lol (Heck I turned out just fine...just fine...)

    Movies you wished you had never watched.

    AH! I know it. Why ruin a perfectly good movie with a needless sex scene? Sex is easily implied in film without the camera lingering on naked bodies and loose cotton sheets fluttering. Can't stand it!

    Were there no 6'2" people born before the 1950's?

    6'3" 265, 50L with 40x34 trousers, 17.5x37 shirts and 14D shoes. 7 1/2 LO hats. Good luck finding vintage, haha. Even when I find a 50L jacket that's suitable, I have to have it tailored down through the waist because it's too boxy. Most trousers are of the 42x32 variety, so tailoring is...

    Movies you wished you had never watched.

    I have to agree on all accounts. I can't watch Requiem for a Dream again, nor Straw Dogs. I own Deliverance, but only watch it with people interested in film history, and I can't watch Deathwish again. It's a very, very fine line and it's almost always crossed. In any case, I think it's a...

    Movies you wished you had never watched.

    I watch many films, and particularly the "art house" kind that are really well shot, well acted, well written etc., but often controversial. I believe there is an absolutely razor-thin line when rape and violence can be used in a movie, and an almost impossibly thin line for graphic rape. When I...

    German pensioner eats 64-year-old US lard

    I saw this the other day. I love this story. Now if we could just remind Americans that it's okay to eat butter, lard, eggs, etc., maybe we could live as long as this gent? lol

    Is style stuck in a 2 decade rut?

    lol Okay, this Indian crying is just getting... ...way funnier, seriously! I can't help but laugh at that. Does that count as schadenfreude? You know what we need?

    A Day in the Life of the Massmans

    My goodness. This is a real slice of life! Thanks Lizzie!

    Is style stuck in a 2 decade rut?

    Good idea! We should pitch this to the Morton's people. Picture this: twenty something with cigarette, beer gut, tattoos and piercings; holding a crying baby in one arm and a very small packet of salt in the other. And she's madder 'n' hell!

    Synthetic suits - Thoughts?

    Well, there are two schools of thought on this - 1. A cheap suit is a cheap suit is a cheap suit or 2. A cheap suit is a cheap suit, but hey, it's a suit! There is one simple rule: You will not find a good synthetic suit that acts like wool, breathes like wool, or is as durable and timeless as...

    Is style stuck in a 2 decade rut?

    Although I see the point you're making with JP, I would argue that some of us (if not most of us) aren't entirely worried about fitting in or not. Perhaps the kid wearing Converse was not worried either, but in any case...

    9mm or 45cal

    I think it's good business that Taurus still has a lifetime warranty on their post-1984 firearms. I sometimes carry a Taurus .357mag hammerless snub nose. I've fired it many times and I've not yet had a foul up. However, having also owned a S&W 686 .357mag, I can say with certainty that there is...
