    Good-looking scary man.

    Borat- the new Sherlock Holmes!

    I was serious - I can imagine Cohen as a good no-nonsense Holmes. We had enough parody with Brett.

    April, 1948: Meet THE BOLD LOOK

    You came to the thread through searching a term, as suggested by your answer of yesterday, when the post before it is two months old. You included the word The in the search terms - rather uselessly so, given the forum software's limits - clicked the link to this thread, and the other...

    Men's Underwear Basics: Underwear, Undershirts

    The idea is if it's well made, it adds only little warmth, and so, sweat, while it soaks up the sweat that'll be there anyway. Might even provide a cooling distance between skin and shirt, and so reduce sweating. Probably so with a good cotton fabric, maybe profiled, and a bad polyester shirt.

    Men's Hair question

    Most people you see on pictures have thinner hair that would keep more or less on its own. We wild-boar haired men have to give up or use disgusting amounts of pomade. My hair isn't curly, but I have "cute" cowlicks. (I tried Layrite lately, and it really washes out easily at least.)

    Borat- the new Sherlock Holmes!

    I'd be curious about a non-parody Holmes film with him. Alright, I'm curious about it anyway.

    Telephone Number Cards

    Mine won't work - it's got a zero in, and according to my dial that's the operator only.

    But this is Copenhagen, not Malmö, or is it?

    Width of the hat band is the same, I take it?

    Men's Underwear Basics: Underwear, Undershirts

    I had asked myself the same question, and answered it with 1) and 2) mainly, where 1) includes protection from seeing sweat on a shirt. I never wore one, always what they call a gob style vest or "T-shirt". People who know wonder why in the heat of summer I put on another layer, and if so...

    Cologne and perfume

    Phog Allen, I concur about some of those, especially Trumper's Sandalwood, but are you sure you didn't fall for their line about Eucris? Though not my choice, I happily concede it's a nice scen; just a black-currant pie doesn't really evoke the idea of testosterone. (Also, it isn't "James...

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    That alone shold make you think… ;) Absinthe_1900 is right, as usual - didn't pick his name for nuffn. Whether you use sugar at all or not, is a matter of personal taste (I don't). If you like it a bit sweeter - perfectly fine. But if you don't, you shouldn't ruin your drink just for the...

    Wearing a wrist watch on the underside of your wrist

    I haven't been wearing one for some time, but otherwise always on the inside. The obvious reason is that that's how my father did it. For others, less obvious reasons might be that it's subjectively easier or more convenient to read it, or that it's a matter of understatement in case of a...

    Hat proportions in 1938

    Thinking again, while there were definitely all kinds of hats around, the ones in this catalogue might by kind of typical (the modern repros are more stereotypical), considering that this was a mass-market catalogue aimed at the average Joe. The company could only offer a limited number of...
