    Chrysler "Style" Commercial

    The commercial made me say "yes....yes...YES!!" then they showed the cars that were to bring back this "style" then I went "oh". Blah. Just another tuperware box on wheels.

    Chatham Chatter - The Stetson Chatham

    Got mine wet not too long ago Well, I've had it for a while now. And I must say, it's holding up very nice. I got it sopping wet in this Washington rain and there was no bleeding, discoloration, warping, softening, fading, and what really excites me, no shrinkage!! This is the first felt hat...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    An Idea Just another option take it or leave it. Consider the Citizen EcoDrive. I got my brother and ex one for their birthdays. They aren't self winding but are solar powered. The face of the watch is a big solar panel (though it looks like a normal black faced watch, you'd never know it...

    Toyota Retro Commercials

    Reminds me of the Popular Science news reels they used to show on AMC 15 years ago. This could be "The Car of Tomarrow" or something like that.

    Wearing vintage pieces without looking too dated?

    Stop dresing vintage and start dressing classic Dress classic as opposed to vintange. That's my advice and it's what I do. I don't own any vintage clothes. Everything I have is no older than 6 or 7 years old. The key is to not look dated, but not in vogue either. Have newer clothes that...
