    What Makes You Choose One Decade Over Another?

    Hello Hello. I just recently signed up for this forum and saw your picture. I also am in San Francisco. I am sure there are others, perhaps we could meet at Sams on Bush for a drink. I'd be interested in learning more about where you shop as well. Take care. Sean

    knickers anyone?

    Knickers I was a volunteer at the US Open at Pebble Beach and we wore knickers in gold and red (49er colors) I have a picture of myself in them somwhere. I have to admit, they were comfortable and when I walked around the course, I didn't worry about tracking mud on my trousers or the cuffs.

    Required Music Collection

    Oakland? Nobody with any taste can just stop at the 5 I listed. I just didn't want to list my entire collection of music. So, since you don't buy hats on e-bay, do you get them at the Hat Guys on Broadway and 18th?

    How did you start wearing hats?

    Vintage in Eugene? I went to college in Eugene after leaving the military in the late 1970's. I would have killed to have a vintage shop to go to. I did wear hats and older type clothes even though I was only in my mid-20's. I just couldn't do the bell bottom thing or the rayon shirts.

    The Blackboard Jungle

    Blackboard Jungle I first saw this movie when I was 7-8 and I remember asking my mother why was Dad in the movie? He looked very much like Glen Ford. I on the other hand, have been told I look like Gordan Clapp aka Detective Medavoy in NYPD Blue.

    Feel like an enigma?

    Vintage in San Francisco I think it is easier and more acceptable to wear vintage or as I refer to it-"traditional" mens wear in San Francisco because a) the climate is cooler, making hats, vests, overcoats etc. more practical wear and b) wearing a costume is common place (not that I think I...

    Novels and Movies

    F. Scott I make it a point to read Gatsby at least once a year and unlike most, I actually like the 1974 movie with Redford and Farrow. "Look at all those lovely shirts." Oh and the best version ever of "What'll I do" is by Chet Baker.

    What Are You Reading

    A Great Book I read this book several years ago. It won the Pulitzer Prize and the author is a Professor at Stanford. It's on my to-do list to sit in on one of his classes to see if he speaks as well as he writes. I've passed this book on to a couple of my friends and they both liked it very...
