Thanks! The hat is a 1950s Stetson Ivy League.

Haven't posted on this site in a long while, so I have several suits to show off. I'll just show my most recent find for now. Bullock's Wilshire, likely from the 1960s. It's in great condition, not to mention that it fits perfectly. Found it at a thrift store in Pasadena for $40, a worthy...

This is my costume. Not at all era or screen accurate, but at least get brownie points for going to the location.

Found this Resistol Kitten Finish at a vintage store in Burbank this week. Only $40, not too bad. Fits like a charm. Not sure of the date on it... looks a bit too clean to be from earlier than the mid/late 1960s.

Sure, why not? I've done crazier things.

Hey... I live in L.A. and I fit those measurements. Do I win something?

Last films I watched: La Dolce Vita - First time for seeing this classic. The Circus - I've probably seen this film a dozen times A Night at the Opera - Astonishingly, this was the first time I'd seen it, and I've seen just about all of the Marx Brothers films, especially the Paramount films.

Saw this one the other day, I'll have to stretch it to a 7 1/8, but for 20 bucks, I had to get it...

There's plenty of stories and options for a fifth film. They dropped the ball on 4, I enjoyed it, but not in the way I enjoyed 1-3. I haven't completely given up on the franchise, as long as they find a good artifact that is... y'know... mythical. Especially when there is still Atlantis...

Right now I have The Louvin Brothers (1940s-60s Country) stuck in my head, like always. Other than that I've been digging on some Buell Kazee (1920s-30s folk musician) and Joseph Falcon (1920s-30s Cajun)... No sir, I don't need no big city music.

I got this NOS Stetson Ivy League in the mail today, it's a real beauty... and of course I had to do a self photo shoot to show it off. anyone know about this model of stetson? The patina on the hat box leads me to believe it is at least 30 years old. But the hat just looks too new.

I got this Ivy League Stetson in the mail today, what a great deal! check out my post in the new hats thread for the photos.

Today I watched: La Strada (1954) - First time I've seen this one, a real downer, but a beautiful film none the less. 9.5/10 and The Brother From Another Planet (1984) - I really liked this one, a strange social commentary science-fiction film. 8/10

I agree, it is a great film. The Boer war is an interesting and seldom covered subject. http://www.amazon.com/Breaker-Morant-Edward-Woodward/dp/B000X73NCM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1244858003&sr=8-1 My favorite obscure films: Streetwise - a documentary about homeless teens in...

Hats like that make the term "bash" seem appropriate.
