    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    If you watch the marathon, give the show some time. It didn't hook me until the 3rd episode.

    Kit Kittredge: An American Girl

    I gotta admit, this film looks cute as pie and right up our alley. The attention to period detail is right on. As I do not have a little girl to take to this, I guess I'll have to wait for the DVD.

    The Curse of Indiana Jones

    Tony, I think it's just the thin guys that get the "Indy" comments. The closest I've ever come was, "Hey, give Indiana Jones his hat back!"

    You know Edward, I must have looked at your answer a dozen times in the past month and never realized you were replying to me, as well as Classyguy. Thank you for the advice and forgive me for not noticing until now.

    Spectator Shoes

    Actually, I performed as a 40's Paparazzi, for a corporate function, at Hollywood & Highland Friday night and was on my feet for about 3 hours straight. The shoes remained quite comfortable the whole time. Additionally, no "break-in" time was needed with these. They were comfortable right out of...

    Spectator Shoes

    OK guys, I finally broke down and bought 2 pairs of these for costuming purposes (deductable don't ya know) and they appear to be well made and are quite comfortable. I don't know if I'll ever have the means to purchase anything more dear, but for now, these are just fine.

    Introduction, and question.

    Their shop is in Burbank and I've been in it a couple of times. The hats they have for sale there are unremakable; the usual selection you might find anywhere (and grotesquely overpriced). I have no knowledge of the quality their "custom" product, but I'd venture to say you can probably do...

    Spectator Shoes

    I'm toying with the idea of wearing my black & whites with a 3 piece navy pinstripe suit (winter white fedora to top it off). Would the brown & whites go with navy better?

    Spectator Shoes

    Jerekson, I bought a pair of the brown and taupe cap toes (on clearance for $13.99). They have a strange break/ fold where my foot bends. I also have to polish them after every wearing because these folds just look like Hell. They are not the Botany 500's.

    Sweater Fuzz

    I used to shave my sweaters with a blade. I had some unfortunate experiences with cuts and thinning the fibers. I've used one of these (or it's kin), exclusively, for the past 20 years. There are larger sizes availables.

    Spectator Shoes

    Has anyone ever seen/ purchased/ worn the Botany 500 Spectators available at Blair.com? The $49.99 price seems too good to be true. And yes, they are leather uppers.

    movie hats that inspired you...

    Mullholland Falls (1996) It's no L.A. CONFIDENTIAL, but it does follow the adventures of the "Hat Squad" Lots of great 40's/ 50's era hats and suits.

    Boater faction!

    Thanks funneman. That's me, in vintage Paparazzi gear, performing at Paramount Studios, for a private function. I'd wear my Boater if it were a 30's Paparazzi gig.

    Boater faction!

    I've got two 7 1/2" Italian straw, boaters from the 90's and though they aren't as light colored as they used to be, they still fit just fine. No shrinkage.

    Nobody Can Insult Someone Like....

    From Groucho: "Better yet, I'll go home with your wife. Outside of the improvement, she'll never notice the difference." I don't know to whom to ascribe these gems: "I've seen better faces on an Iodine bottle." "He's about as smart as a sack of hammers." "The fellow was descended...
