    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I saw this film theatrically in its original run... oddly enough, on the actual date when the film shows Wells arriving in 1979! I like the film a lot... apart from its horribly schlepped-out third act, with the whole police and Amy's roommate suspense sequence. That's just an exhausting...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Past Lives (2023) A solid little indie picture, probably the best dramatic film I've seen in the last couple of years. This was my second viewing, but I don't think I posted the first time. Past Lives is an assured, fascinating first feature from writer/director Celine Song - I'm going to...

    Where has everyone gone to ?

    Frank, some of us long-timers (25+ years for me!) are still reading everyday but don't have much to write about. I'm retired with little disposable income, so I'm way past my period of buying jackets and hats regularly, and I can't really comment on the current market. I don't watch as much...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Worf, I remember seeing the broadcast of the Dan Curtis/Jack Palance version of Dracula and enjoying it... But the seventies TV adaptation of Dracula that's really worth seeking out is the 1977 BBC Count Dracula with Louis Jourdan and Frank Finlay. You've seen that one, haven't you? Despite...

    Akubra Overload

    Um, I don't think he's referring to the Akubra Cattleman, but to the traditional cattleman crease seen on many western hats, which features long center and side dents.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Edward... Don't get your hopes up about Renfield. It's essentially a one-joke idea, mainly notable for giving Nic Cage a shot at grotesquely overplaying Dracula. And we've discussed AMC's Interview with the Vampire series and how every decision they've made to take it further from a straight...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Edward, I dragged myself to a theater to see Nosferatu and I was underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong, I like Robert Eggers' films, especially The VVitch, but I didn't think he brought enough new/interesting aspects to this version. I've been a huge Dracula fan forever (I had a Bela Lugosi...

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    I've been wearing the Sterkowski wool "Fiddler" I got last month quite a lot. More than my usual fedoras or my old B!Wear wool caps.

    USAF N-3B parkas - Let's talk about them!!

    I'm sure I posted this on this thread MANY years ago. Alas, it's just anecdotal, but it seems appropriate to follow what Jon Crow said: I had two blue N3-Bs with orange linings, both purchased from the same Bronx Army-Navy store about five years apart, that I wore through high school and...

    sterkowski caps

    The Elvis cap is really more of a summer or three-season wearer. It's lined, but it's only made of cotton and includes four vent grommets. I already put it away for winter. In contrast, the Fiddler is unvented wool. Its warmth seems comparable to the two B!Wear wool newsboy caps I've worn...

    sterkowski caps

    Edward, there's definitely something inside the Elvis cap making those peaks, not just the stitching of the cloth itself. I can't tell what they're made of because they're inside the lining. No doubt they used something akin to cardboard in their caps in the past. Now it's probably some...

    sterkowski caps

    I liked wearing that Elvis cap so much that I got one of Sterkowski's "Fiddler" (as in "On the Roof") caps in gray wool for winter. It was 20% off for Black Friday, and arrived in NY 15 days after purchase. The materials, build, and sizing are all really good. A quick selfie: Anatevka...

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    I just got a Sterkowski "Fiddler" cap in gray wool. Quick selfies taken in open shade... with the color looking a bit more blue than this medium gray does in reality: Materials, manufacturing quality, and sizing are all just as good as I expected. The only thing I don't like is the...

    Do you wear a fedora with your leather jacket?

    I have worn leather jackets and fedoras together for over twenty years! Akubra Stylemaster with Gibson & Barnes black goatskin Civil A-2 (photo by Worf!): More recent selfie of the Stylemaster with Schott 654 "casual racer": Akbura Campdraft with Gibson & Barnes Historical M-422A under...

    How many jackets do you own?

    Six leather jackets and ten cloth jackets. None of them were purchased recently, it's already more than I can wear...

    Are Sterkowski rabbit fur hats legit?

    I think he means that it SAYS it's rabbit fur on an interior label. Not that it's a combination of rabbit inside and wool outside. That would be seriously weird! .

    Are Sterkowski rabbit fur hats legit?

    I'll take your word for it, I can't do that just now. Changes to MS Edge in recent days have made browsing a mess. (E.g., they removed ad blocking!) The Mosca product page wants to me use my Google ID - which I NEVER use - to login. I had no such problem ten days ago when I ordered a cap...

    Are Sterkowski rabbit fur hats legit?

    I've ordered a couple of caps from Sterkowski in the last year, and I noticed that sometime between the first and the second they STOPPED selling fur felt hats and now offer ONLY wool felt. So just be VERY sure that this "new" Mosca is actually an earlier rabbit fur specimen and not the current...

    Has anyone had experience with Wested Horsehide

    I agree with everyone else: leather isn't warm, it doesn't matter how thick it is or which hide. The type of lining and whether there are knits at the bottom/sleeves and a good closure at the throat are more important. (Not to mention what you're wearing underneath!) The Indy jacket in...
