    Classic Style issue #2

    You're very welcome Marc. I love Classic Style on the whole and have recommended it to quite a few friends who are catching the bug. The magazine is how I found FL. It's my intent to build it up, so I hope my comments were seen as constructive criticism. I'd love to see it grow and come into its...

    Classic Style issue #2

    I picked my copy up an B&N this weekend and have read it cover-to-cover. Articles were generally good in terms of content and capturing my interest. In my opinion, the lounging article could have been shorter. I wish the piece on selecting materials were longer and more detailed. The same...

    How we dress and what we drive

    The P1800's sweeping lines are Italian. Going further back, the PV544 carries the design cues similar to many American classics. I wouldn't consider the Volvos to be lacking in style when compared to other cars in similar categories from their time. And in terms of sophistication, they...

    How we dress and what we drive

    Vonwotan, go for it! My roommate drove his '76 MGB daily for almost a year with a 15 mile commute with highway and city driving. They're fun to drive, easy to maintain and can be made quite reliable. You can't beat Little British Cars (LBCs) for an entry-level classic. Another classic that...

    How we dress and what we drive

    I find this discussion quite interesting. Thinking about it, it seems to me that most cars with a timeless, classic style are out reach financially from the general public. StanleyVanBuren's list of cars all come close to $50k new, yet most people seem to find sub $20-$30k as the range for...

    How we dress and what we drive

    The Crossfire in not an American car. It is built in Germany by Karmann and pulls its mechanicals from the Mercedes ('97 to '04) SLK-series cars. If one were looking for an "American" car, it would be quite a stretch. The Crossfire is, however, a very stylish car with a fine pedigree. I love the...

    Noir Novels/Hard Boiled Fiction

    Hard Case Crime publishes noir and detective fiction, bringing back lost classics and introducing emerging authors. Couple that with their wonderful cover art and cheap "pulp" prices; you can't go wrong!

    I purchased my first hat at Byrnie Utz!

    Thanks for the compliments, all! The store is located at 310 Union St. downtown and is quite easy to get to. There is a public parking garage directly across the street on the south side, so you don't have to tote the hat box around should you wish to explore downtown as I did. Rongoms is...

    I purchased my first hat at Byrnie Utz!

    It's a newer model, because the band is black leather. That is how you tell partially isn't it? The sales gal said it is an older hat, so maybe a discontinued color? I honestly don't know how new it is, just that it's not the latest and greatest.

    I purchased my first hat at Byrnie Utz!

    I'm on a trip to Seattle this week, so yesterday I went downtown to Byrnie Utz to get a proper hat. It was nice to go to a store with a friendly, knowledgeable staff who would let you try on anything and everything. According to my measurements with a tape, I'm a 7 1/2, but when I first tried on...

    On the Beat

    I have a different opinion of police than you do, but perhaps that stems from the police in my area actually walking/biking/riding their beats. For example, last night I went to a nice downtown area in Oklahoma City to see a movie and, while standing outside, saw pairs of policemen on patrol...

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    I carry a brown corduroy "messenger bag" made by Dickies. It has a single, zip pocket across the bag's flap and one internal compartment with two large inside pockets. It's a very simple design. As a journalist, I need to carry note pads and pens, my cell phone, plus documents relating to...

    Cities and Decades

    I'll second Berlin. Look at Cabaret and Isherwood's Berlin Stories.

    Whiskey

    I'm with you KittyT. Makers is one of my least favorites. I prefer Knob Creek, but it looks like there are a lot more brands to try based on these threads.

    What are your unreleased dvd wants?

    The Butcher Boy. It's modern (1997) but doesn't seem to exist. It's one of the best dark comedies ever made. Probably one of the darkest.

    The Earliest Film You've Seen

    I was a Film and Video Studies minor in college, so we watched a ton of the Edison and Lumiere films. But I got the most enjoyment out of a German Expressionism class I took. The professor was a Lugosi scholar by the name of Gary Rhodes and he passed his love of the topic onto his students. My...

    Camper shoes

    I have a pair of brown leather bowling-style Campers with thin leather soles. They're like wearing slippers. Very comfortable. As I have narrow feet, I'm always on the lookout for shoes that lace down to the toe. I'd post a picture but I'm at work and they're at home. The quality of the shoes...
