    Does anyone wear a sharkskin suit anymore?

    Wow, that seems a little odd. One button, notch lapel and bright green sharkskin? I'd wear it. ;)

    Forum Upgrade -- POST ANY ISSUES HERE

    Although I realize it's not as big a deal as some of the other suggestions, I too miss the member descriptions (One Too Many, One of the Family, I'll Lock Up). I thought those were pretty cool. Any chance of having those back, or perhaps something similar?

    Any writers?

    In fact, I'm certain of it! :eusa_doh: :rolleyes:

    do you ever go to restaurants by yourself?

    lol I agree; one person to a 2-4 person table seems a little irresponsible at peek hours. I wouldn't be offended if a waiter asked me to move prior to being served. Here, most bars serve food but typically the poorer variety you could literally buy at Wal-mart and make yourself (frozen...

    Is "yanks" an offensive title

    I actually like those "offensive" names in as much as it beats being called by the other, more common ones. ;) Yank = okay with me. As far as the US, I think you could call it America, USA or the US, or the States, or North America, or pretty much anything. Folks here don't usually get too...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Just watched M (1931) by Fritz Lang, and man, what an excellent film. Kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through! Peter Lorre was grand, and I really liked the criminals. Quite interesting, very enjoyable.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    As much as everyone makes fun of it, I saw this movie twice in the theater and really enjoyed it. Sure you need an open mind, but it's also a love story that rings true in so many lives, regardless of the players involved. It was well acted, and the ending was just heartbreaking. I very much...

    brand of sunglasses?

    Sparks, I think the idea is that your avatar happens to be the brutal dictator of a bygone era. You could put him on par with such men as Hitler, Stalin, Amin, Mugabe, etc. No one is railing against you as a member, and certainly you are free to choose your avatar... ...but as I've been...

    Replacement Hat Liner

    Technically, rayon is a synthetic material - it does not occur naturally. You cannot pluck a rayon leaf from a tree and you cannot harvest materials alone to create rayon. On the other hand, it is made from wood pulp and cotton linters (natural materials). The raw materials are converted into a...

    Mohair hat and is it considered a fedora?

    Although it's difficult to tell, it could very well be a fur felt. Stetson has put out long hair furs throughout history. I've encountered one 60's version that looked very similar to yours but in camel color, and one modern one. That's not to say it can't be wool or a wool fur blend...

    do you ever go to restaurants by yourself?

    I wish there were spots like this throughout Des Moines. Unfortunately, life here is so peculiarly dismal, people are only interested in going out if it's over $20. Anything less seems to offend Des Moines residents. I do go out by myself, but like Lizzie, if it's going to cost over $10, it...

    Oh, and I've also noticed that the brown folder to the right of a thread (which used to indicate someone had responded to your post) is showing up for threads I haven't even looked at.

    I've always liked what we currently have. If we're given the option, I would hope that we are able to set any changes in our profile prefrences so that we can choose back and forth without actually altering everyone's view. [huh]

    Multiple things I would like to say

    Welcome, MattR, you've come to the right place. I don't know what kind of experience you have with men's hats, but I strongly suggest you look at the stickies regarding this subject. They will assist you with care, terminology, fitting, etc. If you're looking for wool felt, you may as well...

    Unpopular movie opinions...

    I liked Plan 9 from Outer Space. [huh] Sure, it wasn't Star Wars, but hey, if I had a limited budget, I wouldn't have done half as well. Anyway, it beat Battlefield Earth. :eusa_doh: :rolleyes:

    Self-Conscious?

    I'm not concerned about others' opinions unless I've requested them (or deserved them ;) ). I wear a hat regardless of popularity or acceptance, just like I wear boxer briefs without a second thought. I disapprove of most folks' outfits and attitudes, but I let them keep on anyway. I expect...

    In Almost Every Picture #7

    It is a shame these pictures load so slowly. In fact, after looking most of them over, the pages stopped loading altogether. I suppose the increased traffic was too much a strain. :eusa_doh:
