    Jame Dean Double Bash Fedora?

    I shot this pic of a pic at the Monterrey Aquarium. There is a display that that is an old 50's cafe with vintage photos on the wall. The reason I took it was the rear bash on James Dean's fedora. Anyone seen this double bashing before? [/IMG]

    I remember seeing a thread on Fedora Lounge a few months ago about a group of younger gentlemen in either the Netherlands or Denmark or Sweden or one of the Nordic countries who were very serious vintage dressers and drivers of vintage autos. They had a website with a ton of photos, but I lost...

    So what's in a correct shaving kit

    I think "toothpowder" was common. My grandfather had some in a red oval can (maybe Pepsident?) and I used it as I preferred the taste over tooth pastes of today. I now use baking soda. Either a straight razor or double edged razor should be in the kit. I've seen travel kits with nail...

    Cleaning Tips for your Vintage Clothes

    Just found this site while looking for some leather care info. I have to disagree with their recommendation of mink oil for leather jackets, however. I would never use mink oil on any leather. Several websites recommend bee oil and say mink oil is a no-no. But lots of good info on general...

    Vintage clothes in "Barb Wire" with Pamela Anderson

    I was checking out the 1996 movie over the weekend since Pam Anderson was in it, and noticed that one of the bad guys she takes out is dressed in 1940's clothes. He's sitting in the hotel lobby reading a newspaper when she comes in to capture a bounty. He wears a fedora, white shirt, high...

    I'm in Ventura County, just north of LA county. Wanted to take a trip into Los Angeles or the vicinity and get my hat re-blocked. Anyone got some ideas?
