    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...

    American Accents in the Golden Era

    I have always noticed but started thinking about more lately is American accents. I always found it interesting that certain parts of America developed accents despite everyone speaking English. What is even more amazing that a small country like England can also have different accents like...

    RAF Squadron carries a photograph

    I saw a documentary on TV many years ago talking about an RAF squadron. My memory is very sketchy about it as I was a little kid when I saw it. It told of a story of a group of ancient warriors who carried some sort of special cloth (a flag, banner, tartan perhaps) into battle. This cloth as...

    Now that I have time and a steady income, I am ready to splerge on a high quality hat. And THE hat I have always wanted was the Indiana Jones hat perferably the type in the Last Crusade. My Indiana Miller has served me well, but it's time to take the next step. My research has narrowed it...

    "Terry and the Pirates" & Steve Canyon

    In the school building where I am having my training,(I'm in the USAF) they have all sorts of 1950's Air Force recruiting posters as well as selections from Terry and the Pirates as well as Steve Canyon. Does anyone know any places on the net where I can read these old comic strips?[huh]...

    Any military Personnel here?

    I just recently joined the USAF. It's a pretty good life but I have beef with the BDU (Battle Dress Uniform). In the AF, we have dress blues and the BDU and that's about it. I am questioning why we have to wear a uniform officialy designated as a manual work/combat uniform when we have to...

    Shooting a pistol

    One or two hands? It seems to me that all the older movies and TV shows that have a hand gun the character uses on hand. Sean Connery's James Bond never used two hands with his PPK and Roger Moore's Bond only did it later in his career. The 1980's seems to have started a style of two hand...

    What if WWII didn't happen

    I don't know why, but I've been thinking about this lately. What if WWII didn't happen. Not just the U.S. involvement, but the whole thing. No invasion of Poland etc. I think some kind of stand off between Russia and the U.S. would have started as there was tension between the two before the...

    Strings

    What are those strings I see sometimes wrapped around the base of the crown at the bottom of the ribbon? They look like they use a slip knot with a bead, cork, or a piece of rubber on the end of it. What is the purpose of these strings? Is it ornamental like the ribbon? Thanks!

    Hot Rods, Rat Rods, and Classics

    We've had some pretty good conversations about cars in the past so I decided to start another one. What kind of vintige cars do you all like? I tend to float two ways: Rat Rods and classic originals. I'd prefer an original any day of the week with slight engine modifications to make them more...

    Vintage vs. Late Model

    I don't know if Late Model is the right set of words as this is more for cars, but I need to know the difference between Vintage and New hats. I have been attracted to late model hats because they are easy to find, brand new and complete. I'd be interested in vintage but they seem to be harder...

    Stetson Hampton and Chatham

    I'm looking into getting a fedora from Stetson but I'm not sure which to get, a Hampton or a Chatham. I have seen plenty of good pictures of the Chatham but only one picture of the Hampton and it was too dark to see anything. Does anyone know the difference between these two hats? The only...
