The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse
There were very few of these men's purses around. We carried as little as possible and put the stuff in our pockets. Very few men wore those little bags around our waists. It just was not that widespread. A friend of mine tried both bags for a short time, really hated the comments and looks...- Fast

The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse
Pocket man If a purse, by any name is found beside my dead body, I was murdered. Men had pockets and women did not. They had purses. Civilized people didn't carry everything they owned in large, bumpily overstuffed bags. One's "stuff" stayed home. Pens, pocketknives, wallets...- Fast

How Was Your Day?
Overqualified It's getting so hard to find incompetent people anymore! Worked at my school's registration/book day. One of the student workers said they wanted to steal my panama. On a high school campus in the 21st century in california, that's high praise. Carpe Diem Fast- Fast

Press cards in hats?
Press Card/pass A press pass is a credential, and very seldom if ever was a simple card with press written on it in sharpie. It lets the person giving a press conference know who is and is not supposed to be asking questions or taking pictures. If one tucked one in their hat band it was to be...- Fast

Wool Felt vs. Fur Felt
Hat for the money If money is the issue, why not look for a decent quality fur felt? Maybe there's a whole thread about inexpensive fur felt fedoras out there, but I don't know. I've had both and prefer fur. I had staining and shrinking problems with the wool, but not the fur. They... -

The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse
To bag or not to bag? I have three different briefcase/bags. I use a padded sleeve (in my case Eagle Creek) and slide it into whatever bag I want, or need according to the weather. It was especially useful when I had to use my leather backpack for 4 months of last year. Carpe Diem Fast- Fast

Valentino - I just don't get it...
Apologia for Valentino Valentino was to men's jewelry what Elvis was to popular music. Valentino wore a writswatch before almost anyone else did. Furthermore he wore it in period films, and is generally credited with the rise of the wristwatch and decline of the pocketwatch. As to his...- Fast

How old is too old ?
Vintage. . . or What? Dress like Holmes or Homie? Look at what most folks wear. Should anyone have anything to say, wouldn't it, if (and only for the sake of argument) true, be someone who looks like a clown saying that someone else looks like a jester? I have no desire to buy my wife...- Fast

How old is too old ?
vintAGE: in praise of khaki I'm happily stuck. The older you get, the more conservatively you have to dress. Much of the answer lies in Khaki!

Why do I hate the 1970s so much?
What happened to History? Strange debate. Just a little taste of reality here. The people of the U.S. forced the end of the Vietnam War. I know. I was there. The people forced the removal of a malign president. I know. I was there. I saw the godfather, in a theater, the day it came out. I saw a...- Fast

Bond "anachronistic"?
anachronistic? There are two ways a character becomes anachronistic (and holmes is): the character is so idiosyncratic and thin in humanity that it only serves the plot and setting. Bond's attitude toward women may be bad or unpopular, or many opther things, but it still exists. Violence...- Fast
