To a very large degree, that's what most of us are trying to do I think. Getting the exact right piece is almost impossible, especially if your not of average size and shape. In my case, my hat size is extremely small so finding a hat that fits is almost impossible. On the flip side, if your...

He did that war-weary don't give-a-S**T attitude and look very good. Bogart could do it too, But I think he was a little more put together. The tired worn-out PI look is now a trope and a bit of a cliche'. But still a good one. Pretty much any coat and hat that looks like it's been worn hard and...

One could make a case that Casablanca is still relevant today, at least in its broader themes

This was the first movie where the main character "got away with it" Before that according to the HAyes Code, if you killed someone in a movie, the character had to either go to jail or die, or in some way pay for it. At least that's my understanding.

As far as I know, it was one of the first to use first-person POV in a movie , I can only think of one other movie off the top of my head that uses for the whole movie. It's a Film Noir move; 1947 "Lady In The Lake" It shows the entire move form Marlow's POV, with only seeing him in mirrors...

BE WARNED...!!! Fountion Pens are a very addictive hobby. LOL THAT Said, I have a Pilot Meptrpolion that I got on Amazon for about 20 bucks is a very good entry-level pen. Amazon now has the Basic Fountain Pen, called that Amazon Basic Fountain Pen. It goes for about 10.00. While I haven't...

THAT IS ShARP. .. Now, THAT is Sharp..

Trenchcoatish Coats, anyways,,

Do you remember Simon & Simon On Tv in the early 1980s? Rick Simon wore a I know now is a safari jacket. Seems to me that would be a nice light summer jacket.

I will have a look at them. I know I've seen a lot of Chinese and other foreign-made pens show up favorably on my YouTube channels. I definitely want to get more pens. Also, I want to find some vintage pens.

I've been using my Pilot Metropolitan for the lt few weeks and have been loving it. It writes nice, with almost no effort. My writing is slightly improved to slightly more readable. I think it slows me down just enough to make me take just a bit more time, and It comes out in the writing. If...

I can't believe that this is a Thing, A Lamy Safari Pokemon edition Pen https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/616370858806211

Finally got my Pilot Metropolitan. It feels nice and solid. Has a good weight to it. Writing with it is a little (Maybe a LOT) like going back to writing class. It takes a very light touch, and you have to hold the pen just right. But eventually, My writing may become legible, even by me...

If it fits and YOU like, and it works for you. And is in as good of shape as the pictures look. That's all that matters. I'd love to find a nice cowboy hat like that, but my head is so small finding any hat that fit's me next to impossible.

Waterman is a brand I saw a lot on YT. It seems to be a well-respected brand, that's been making pens for many years. This is where learning about the brands and their history is important. Like stereos cars, guns, even pottery, and lamps almost everything we use today has a history going back...
