    Golden Era Cuba

    If I remember right this was a pretty good movie set in Cuba. "For Love or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story". It stars Andy Garcia about a musician trying to escape Castro's Cuba.

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    I bought a pair of White's Semi Dress with an added toe cap about a year and a half or two years ago. LOVE THEM! Worth every penny. I wear them every day and they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I polish them every couple of months and they look like new again. I look forward to...

    Steel Pot

    Ha! Yeah it does seem to make one a bit top heavy. Think I might just use it to cook eggs in like Van Johnson in "Battleground".

    Steel Pot

    This is the coolest "hat" I've added to my collection in quite a while. Just got in from a big militaria show in Pomona CA. Excuse the quality of the pics they were taken with my lap top. This is a late war (WWII) swivel bale "Steel Pot" American helmet with a Korean war era liner. I've...

    "The Aesthetic of Attitude" Hey gang. Here is a new one I did for the annual California Screamin' show at Gasoline Gallery in El Segundo California. I'm particularly happy with this piece. It is oil on canvas, 16 x 20. I just finished it so it isnt in a frame yet. In fact the paint is...

    30's~40's Work Boots

    Whites Semi Dress Well after years of coveting from afar I finally pulled the trigger on these Whites Semi Dress. I had them add a toe cap. Personal preference for style. I'm really diggin' them! Bought them from a little place down here in San Diego (Actually the place is in El Cajon)...

    Any updates on the AWOL bag? I have read some reports that say the leather isnt as nice as the picture indicates. I need a bag for a trip to Australia in June. Want something kind of vintage looking. Thanks in advance.

    Lets see your Balloon Tire Bikes

    Here is my wife's Western Flyer we have been working on. We've cleaned it up and got it on the road. Not going to repaint or chrome anything. We like a little patina on it. Now we just need to find some fenders for it and maybe a new rack for the back because it is missing the part in the middle.

    If you put on a hat, you’ve changed everything.

    Many years ago a friend used a phrase that I have adopted. We were heading out from work for lunch and he had forgotten his sun glasses. He went back and got them and said "Never go anywhere without your image". Now it was a joke but it has stuck with me. A few weeks ago I was at a...

    How not to look like Indiana Jones?

    LOL! You are so right! Heck you could be naked except for a fedora and some knuckle-dragger would call you Indiana Jones. ...not that I know from experience or anything. I mean... I BET you could be naked except for a fedora and some knuckle-dragger would call you Indiana Jones. Oh...

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    For the life of me I will never understand people that feel it is okay to make negative comments on a strangers clothes. What are we in junior high school?!

    Willem Barents' 400 year old hat

    What's the big deal? I got hats off of ebay that look a lot nicer than that. And they were not near 400 yrs old. I'd say it was a rip off if the guy hadnt gotten the hat for free. I think they should sen it to Optimo and see what they can do with it.
