    Ask a question, get an answer

    A search on the brand name? It's a Stetson, I'll get the phonebook. I'm looking for a hat expert to say that Stetson made fedoras just like this one in the 1920's. Fedoras with very small brims and a raw edge, with straight non-tapering sides on the crown and a somewhat flat top that's...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Is this sale a fraud? I'm not an expert so I'm asking the experts: is this fedora a Homburg that's been butchered to scam some extra bucks? There's a number of things in the pictures and text that have made me suspicious and your help would be appreciated...

    Help, Can't wear wool

    Studio Suits fully lines their wool jackets in satin as standard and there's a check box for adding a satin lining for the pants down to the knee, with the ability to include further instructions. Since the half-pants lining only adds $5 I'm sure you could request a full lining for very little...

    What modern invention/innovation do you wish had *never* been developed?

    5 things: 1. Curbing your dog was fine before the 1970s and we all got by with that. 2. I'm not convinced by the water pollution study that is used to back this law up while precious little is done about the antidepressants, antibiotics, sex hormones and various poisons that end up in the...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    J.J. Abrams wrote and directed it and produced it so don't leave him out - Spielberg was just another producer on it. Pretty awful, yes.

    What modern invention/innovation do you wish had *never* been developed?

    Whenever I see one of those I think of this. What's the deal with this? I had one end an online friendship once because they found out I eat eggs and they refused to watch me kill myself, and they were smoking during the argument.

    What modern invention/innovation do you wish had *never* been developed?

    The first 20 that come to mind: Automated phone systems that make you talk to the machine Body scanners Auto-flush toilets Auto-dispensing paper towels Hand sanitizer White colllar fist-bumping Men who say "we're pregnant." Single entendre popsongs The forced first-name basis...

    Ok a hat I love but my wife hates it .....

    You can tell your wife she's going to feel pretty sick if you guys run out of gas on the highway one day and she's made you leave it at home. They don't call it a ten gallon hat for nothing.

    Favorite Golden Era Couples

    +1 for Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Taylor. I love this kiss. If she were my girlfriend I'd kiss her neck a lot so she could whisper into my ear with that ridiculous sexy voice of hers.

    Show us your suits

    Great suit Joshbru. Those are some classic design features and for $50 it really shows the great stuff you can win on eBay. I mean some people will be walking around having paid more for the jeans and t-shirt they're wearing and will look at you in that suit and think "damn, but I would look...

    The general decline in standards today

    That's totally unfair. Whenever I give customers the finger I get fired. It's supposed to be equal opportunity, not special treatment.

    How the Past Saw the Future

    I can see the artist of this one: "Hmm, well, yes of course the handlebar moustache will never die. Preposterous." *paint paint*

    Is this a decent suit to start with? (modern suit)

    I came across these 40R suits while perusing eBay for myself: These two JoS. A. Bank suits have small waists. This one in brown is listed as "barely worn" and is under $60, if you're on a budget...

    What are the lightest vintage felt hats out there?

    I'm not precisely sure how heavy my Champ Spaceweight is, but it feels about like a slice of bread.

    this is a question for the dames (gals)

    I like your reality, it sounds exactly like a romantic comedy. A good one though. And they always end happy.

    My home page redone

    Just checked out your "Statism Is a Sickness" piece. Whenever I see another human being that gets it the relief washes over me in an awesome wave. Cool photo of your girlfriend in the red T-Bird too. I'll have a look at the rest tomorrow.
