    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I saw Miller's Crossing last nite, which I hunted up because it was given raves in another thread. Decent enough, I guess, but they really (as usual) screwed up the guns and the gun fights. My favourite is when Finney's rivals send assassins and he fights them off with a Thompson. He must have...

    Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps

    There is a well worn "vintage stetson" on the bay right now that would morph into a campaign hat real easily. Right color et al.

    Men's Underwear Basics: Underwear, Undershirts

    Well, I've tried it over the last two days, and although it is counter-intuitive for moi, it works. Even went out for a mow this morning, and wore a flannel shirt over the A shirt to add fuel to the fire, and I was definitely cooler and less sticky than with shirt alone.;) Thanks for the tips...

    Non-suit wearers, lend me your ears!

    I agree whole heartedly with John. I have worn a fedora all day every day for thirty years, and if the clothes I'm wearing don't like it, that's just too bad.:D

    What are you wearing today??

    Dang, Bugsy, and here I thought it was mostly my native charm and suave demeanor.:D But seriously, when most folks seem to dress like it's Wild West meets Trailer Park Boys, I think it musta taken her by surprise.lol BTW, I still can't get over what a collection of BEEEUTIFUL women there...

    What are you wearing today??

    Yesterday I drove my friend down to the big city to pick up his new truck. While there we stopped at a nice dinner to get some lunch. I was wearing Blundstone boots, pleated khakis, blue and white striped oxford shirt, suspenders, pocket watch, fountain pen and my newest vintage Borsalino...

    Men's Underwear Basics: Underwear, Undershirts

    Hey Doc, thanks for that link, it's good to know where the dang things come from and they certainly make sense in that context. How they ended up being so widely used as an undershirt remains a mystery. Can't speak for OZ of course, but over on this side of the pond it seems that you shouldn't...

    Saw MY SISTER EILEEN with Rosalin Russell and Janet Blair on TCM last nite. Very funny and lots of great style. What a dame that Janet Blair was. Swoonsville.

    Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps

    Hey, great thread, thanks for bringing it forward, I hadn't seen it before. RR, your outfit is probly the best SASS duds I've seen. When I was in the game, the lack of historical knowledge/accuracy griped me so much I finally gave it up. Got any links to turn of the century to 1940 US...
