A lot of great "serious" boot suggestions here. I'm having good luck for business casual, casual dining with Clarks Chuka boots. Have a beeswax pair for my brown leather jacket, black for the black biker jacket. Very comfortable and only $80-100.
Got sold on Chuka boots after seeing pictures of...
As someone who drives a German convertible (Mercedes) while wearing a black leather jacket (Schott), I have had pretty good luck with a sunglasses company called Spy.

Escape From Alcatraz
My favorite, THE KILLER INSIDE ME scene, where the main character, a Sheriff who is a psychopath, reveals he knows everything in his late father's medical books. Up till that point he has given everyone in town the impression he is a country bumpkin. It's also implied that his father kept him...
Watched "Fall".
Two young women climbing an abandoned 2000 foot radio tower find themselves trapped at the top.
Decent high concept genre movie. Sort of like what would happen if you took the statue of liberty scene in Hitchcock's Saboteur and made it into a feature film.
Murder Book by Thomas Perry
Truly suspenseful. Sort of a modern take on a lone investigator looking into organized crime that is taking hold of a small town.
Thomas Perry can always be relied upon to deliver a good read. And he is often ahead of trends, gets copied by others.
THE SHINING GIRLS
with Elizabeth Moss
On Apple TV
"Newspaper archivist Kirby Mazrachi's dreams of becoming a journalist are put on hold after she survives a brutal attack that leaves her in a constantly shifting reality."
This limited series was almost too good, truly sorry when it was...
One of the best movies about making movies. Kirk Douglas as a despicable movie producer. Different segments show why a writer, actress, director, rightly so, hate him and yet are still drawn to work with him.
I mostly wear solid cologne, Fulton and Roark is good. Have also found some nice ones on Etsy, small companies/batches. They come in small tins, usually a good fit for the small pocket in jeans. The benefit is they tend to be mostly detectable by people close to you, not overwhelming on...
HOLLYWOOD PARK
By Mikel Jollett
A memoir about being born into a cult, Synanon.
I'm usually a crime novel guy, heists and noir especially. I'm even trying to write one.
I heard a song while driving that really struck a nerve with me. Didn't know the artist or song title but later, googling...
The Outfit (2022), a one location thriller with Mark Rylance, now streaming on Amazon Prime. An English tailor, settled in Chicago, falls in with gangsters. It all takes place in the tailor's shop, but there is good use of different rooms within the location. It turned out to be a real hidden...
No name/label jacket bought on eBay last week. Best fitting leather I've ever had, thick hide too. Just taking it off to sleep the last few days. My keys just fit the zipper pocket on the left cuff
Hans Landa the jew hunting nazi in INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS.
Mona Demark (Lena Olin) in ROMEO IS BLEEDING, a femme fatale who cuts her own arm off to appear to die in a fire. (Sorry, I know that one is a bit obscure. But I am betting a lot of Fedora/Leather Jacket lovers are film buffs).
