    Chrysler "Style" Commercial

    The commercial made me say "yes....yes...YES!!" then they showed the cars that were to bring back this "style" then I went "oh". Blah. Just another tuperware box on wheels.

    Chatham Chatter - The Stetson Chatham

    Got mine wet not too long ago Well, I've had it for a while now. And I must say, it's holding up very nice. I got it sopping wet in this Washington rain and there was no bleeding, discoloration, warping, softening, fading, and what really excites me, no shrinkage!! This is the first felt hat...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    An Idea Just another option take it or leave it. Consider the Citizen EcoDrive. I got my brother and ex one for their birthdays. They aren't self winding but are solar powered. The face of the watch is a big solar panel (though it looks like a normal black faced watch, you'd never know it...

    Autos of Never-were

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chevrolet_SSR.jpg How about if we took the SSR, got rid of the bed and replaced it with an extended roofline and a trunk (or boot). Top it off with chrome bumpers and white wall tires and we're set!

    Retro Revolution

    I've been noticing lately that our obsession for the golden era seems to be becoming more mainstream. In addition to the Fedora Lounge, there's the Art of Manliness, The Cad, and The Chap. I recently found a jazz club in my town and half the men wear hats. TV shows seem to constantly give a...

    Toyota Retro Commercials

    Cool comercial, but not fitting for a toyota in my opinion. American cars yes, but toyota in a 40's/50's setting? Replay the commercials again and mentaly replace toyota with Lincoln or Buick...

    Toyota Retro Commercials

    Reminds me of the Popular Science news reels they used to show on AMC 15 years ago. This could be "The Car of Tomarrow" or something like that.

    Wearing vintage pieces without looking too dated?

    Also, some people are genuinely curious, not meaning to be insulting. But then again some are insulting, epecially around alcohol.

    Wearing vintage pieces without looking too dated?

    Stop dresing vintage and start dressing classic Dress classic as opposed to vintange. That's my advice and it's what I do. I don't own any vintage clothes. Everything I have is no older than 6 or 7 years old. The key is to not look dated, but not in vogue either. Have newer clothes that...

    American Accents in the Golden Era

    Found some more info I was horsing around on youtube and stumbled on a lovely lady named Amy Walker who did a video of 21 Accents. The last accent she did was "Trans Atlantic" which she "was trained in 1945". I looked it up in Wikipedia and found that it was a trained accent. Its also known...

    drying out after the monsoon?

    I'm guessing it's velour? Make sure it dries on its own and make sure it stays cool. Don't put it by a fire, or blow dry it. Heat and quick drying leads to shrinkage. Spray some water repellent on it for future rain. I put repellent on all my hats and they're invincible!

    "Aid for Haiti" thread - where did it go?

    I have an uncle who says he was a Colonel in the Salvation Army. They kicked him out though because he tried to lead an attack on Goodwill. Bad joke, bad joke...
