    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    To a very large degree, that's what most of us are trying to do I think. Getting the exact right piece is almost impossible, especially if your not of average size and shape. In my case, my hat size is extremely small so finding a hat that fits is almost impossible. On the flip side, if your...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    He did that war-weary don't give-a-S**T attitude and look very good. Bogart could do it too, But I think he was a little more put together. The tired worn-out PI look is now a trope and a bit of a cliche'. But still a good one. Pretty much any coat and hat that looks like it's been worn hard and...

    Your TOP Bogart movie..?

    One could make a case that Casablanca is still relevant today, at least in its broader themes

    Your TOP Bogart movie..?

    This was the first movie where the main character "got away with it" Before that according to the HAyes Code, if you killed someone in a movie, the character had to either go to jail or die, or in some way pay for it. At least that's my understanding.

    Your TOP Bogart movie..?

    As far as I know, it was one of the first to use first-person POV in a movie , I can only think of one other movie off the top of my head that uses for the whole movie. It's a Film Noir move; 1947 "Lady In The Lake" It shows the entire move form Marlow's POV, with only seeing him in mirrors...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Do you remember Simon & Simon On Tv in the early 1980s? Rick Simon wore a I know now is a safari jacket. Seems to me that would be a nice light summer jacket.

    Fountain Pen

    I will have a look at them. I know I've seen a lot of Chinese and other foreign-made pens show up favorably on my YouTube channels. I definitely want to get more pens. Also, I want to find some vintage pens.

    Fountain Pen

    I've been using my Pilot Metropolitan for the lt few weeks and have been loving it. It writes nice, with almost no effort. My writing is slightly improved to slightly more readable. I think it slows me down just enough to make me take just a bit more time, and It comes out in the writing. If...

    Fountain Pen

    Finally got my Pilot Metropolitan. It feels nice and solid. Has a good weight to it. Writing with it is a little (Maybe a LOT) like going back to writing class. It takes a very light touch, and you have to hold the pen just right. But eventually, My writing may become legible, even by me...

    Dunlap Drive-In

    If it fits and YOU like, and it works for you. And is in as good of shape as the pictures look. That's all that matters. I'd love to find a nice cowboy hat like that, but my head is so small finding any hat that fit's me next to impossible.

    Fountain Pen

    Waterman is a brand I saw a lot on YT. It seems to be a well-respected brand, that's been making pens for many years. This is where learning about the brands and their history is important. Like stereos cars, guns, even pottery, and lamps almost everything we use today has a history going back...

    Fountain Pen

    As I said, when I decided, on a whim, that I wanted to try a fountain pen, I knew nothing about them, other then generally what they are. I don't think I've seen one at least not that I can remember. certainly not to use for any length of time. So that required some research as to what was out...

    Fountain Pen

    The Lamy Safari was also listed as an excellent starter pen. I suspect that from what I've seen on YT there are a number of pens that will work well enough for one to decide if they want to jump down the Pen Rabbit Hole.. I'll get the Pilot Metropolitan and see how that goes. I picked the one...

    Fountain Pen

    That's one of the things I've noticed about Fountain Pens in general, they seem to last forever. I saw a lot of folks restoring and getting pens from the 1930 and that era working again. So it seems like if you take care of it, and keep it clean it should last your lifetime or longer..

    Show us your Guns!

    Question for those who carry every day. Are there particular challenges to carrying while wearing vintage or not "new" styled clothes. One would imagine that he dame basic rules apply it has to be comfortable, and have easy access, and be secure. But depending on the cut and size of the...

    Fountain Pen

    I settled on the Pilot because it showed up on several lst of best entry level,(Cheap) pens and was said to be not bad for the price. I suspect that a cheap pen today, is far better than a cheap pen many years ago..
