    Looking for a "Bogie" hat on a budget..

    I haven't heard much about this one, in terms of reviews and such. It doesn't look bad though. In Christ, Shane

    Radio and Phonograph

    Yeah, those vintage ones do get expensive - which is another problem of mine. Being only an underclass (9-10th grade) high school student, I don't have a huge income. But also, the reason I'd like one with say, a CD player in it, is because I'd like to replace the CD player in my room with...

    What's a Dobbs?

    Guild Edge? I'm pretty new to non-Indy fedoras... I do have an Akubra Regular, but as we all know, the edge on those is nothing special. I've been looking through some threads, and it looks similar to what we're calling a Cavanagh Edge. I remember seeing a guide to face shapes vs. hat shapes...

    What's a Dobbs?

    Wow - thanks everybody for the replies, and James, that was great. lol Yeah, my sweatband is like that, and the inside does look like that, only instead of white with black and gold, it's copper with gold. I'll try and get some pictures up. The liner is really dirty - I don't think it's ever...

    Radio and Phonograph

    I'm looking to buy a radio (thinking maybe Cathedral style) and also a phonograph or monograph. Art deco is a must. I don't want actual ones from that period... unless I have no other choice. I'm bidding on a combo radio/phonograph on Ebay. I hear that there's a company that makes these...

    What do you wear when it rains?

    Unfortunately I'm not as well established hatwise as you fellas are, but I wear my Akubra out in the rain, and it generally dries pretty quick. Actually, certain spots have darkened up, on the brim... unnoticable unless you know where to look, but a difference nonetheless. I'm afraid it'll taper...

    Inherited a London Fog

    My grandfather recently gave me 2 jackets, one being a light tan rain coat, one looking more like a cotton "Members Only" jacket. Now, I don't know the proper history of the Casablanca Bogie trench, but am I wrong in assuming this was the correct brand? I know the model isn't the same, as the...

    Best Classic Cars to Buy and Own

    Now, the Aston Martin DB5 is an awesome car - especially since it was a Bond car... but the car that I'd really, really like... that isn't on that list for who knows what reason... is a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12. Ohhhh! I'd love one of those babies... $35,000. In Christ, Shane

    Indiana Jones - shunned?

    LOL thanks for the forewarning, Michaelson! I think he has the same avatar - I saw it and was wondering if it was Jess - I guess it is. In Christ, Shane

    Also unreal

    But not quite as bad, for me. Today I went to get my hair cut - I'm growing it out a little longer so that I can comb it instead of "spike" it, so that I won't have such dramatic "fed head." (Any ideas how to prevent that, guys? Or am I on the right track?) Anyway, the woman cutting my...

    Looking for a "Bogie" hat on a budget..

    Hmm... I prefer the Casablanca fedora, myself. Actually, I don't think I can tell the difference between the two, but I know I like Mr. Bogart's style very much. What are the major differences between the 2 hats in Falcon and Casablanca? In Christ, Shane

    Looking for a "Bogie" hat on a budget..

    Wow - holy cow... I didn't mean to stir up any trouble or anything. Let me just publicly, briefly, explain why I sign off with that, and not "Cheers," or "Regards," or something to that effect. I sign off with "In Christ," because it helps to keep me in check. It represents the fact that I do...

    Unreal!

    By the way... personally, I prefer this kind of cap... does it qualify as a newsboy cap? It's not an eight-piece cap... I do have one of these, but mine was given to me by my Geography teacher last year - a huge Harley enthusiast. It's black leather. This one, in the picture below, is a cool...

    Unreal!

    I, like Strider, wear my fedora everywhere, save for church, and on occasion, when I go out with friends. Usually I get people looking at me as they drive by if I'm walking someplace, at school I get the occasional "Howdy," (drives me INSANE, I want to smack them and educate them on what a...

    Looking for a "Bogie" hat on a budget..

    I hear that Scotch Guard doesn't hurt the hat at all... you could just spray some of that on there. In Christ, Shane
