    or you could forget them and save yourself :) Only kidding, some people can pull off hawaiian shirts

    Bad Table Manners

    That's the problem is people don't even notice sometimes and get totally absorbed in their text-athons. Kudos for realizing putting your phone down isn't a mortal sin.

    Frock coats

    It appealed to me for many reasons you have listed and as for the lengthening and shortening of figure I've never much cared, I wear a long trench coat belted at the waist and it looks fine and I have worn short jackets that look fine. What I really love about frock coats is that they are so...

    Frock coats

    I read the entire site, my head hurts, I'm disoriented and I want to go eat a whole bushel of celery. It was a wonderful resource although I felt like a nerd reading it. for anyone else who clicked on the link the bit about the question marks really astounded me. Did anyone else know there...

    Bad Table Manners

    the cell phones bother me the most because they not only disrupt your table or those unfortunante enough to sit next to you but they disturb the entire restaraunt which is irritating if you are paying for a nice meal. texting also bothers me in almost all aspects of life. There's nothing...

    Walking Sticks & Canes.

    Sadly I am in the same boat, I would love a walking stick (swagger sticks always intrigued me) but there is no place or time appropriate for me to use it.

    Whatever happened to "coat and tie required"?

    To this day my father complains about a local long since closed jazz club that wouldn't let him in because he wore a shit and jacket without a tie and was told they wanted to "keep out the riffraff" this usually ends in a tangent about how jazz started in seedy clubs with no dress codes...

    Frock coats

    It's very helpful, I too have a love of the obscure and spend way too much time finding out interesting tidbits that will never help me in my daily life. Thanks very much and I'll look at these and see what there is too see. Especially since it seems hard to find good pics of this coat on...

    Frock coats

    new update I haven't sewed very much before but I know how and I am going to try to make my own coat. I will tell everyone how it goes and I'll probably end up crawling back to indy.

    Twilight

    it's also a question of who you are, I saw a short indy film a while back that showed two different guys and two different girls in the same enviroment. Both men did the same things to the girl (singing to her, literally sweeping her off her feet etc.) at the end of the movie one man was shown...

    Twilight

    very true, the whole burning up in sunlight Mytho is a big one because in the original dracula he walks through a London street in daylight and in Nosferatu ( the classic illegal version of dracula which was ordered destroyed after a snafu with bram stoker's estate) he burns up in daylight at...

    Twilight

    I have never read the books or seen the movie but I am in a drama class at my high school and there are two guys and the rest of our class is girls. At first I was patting myself on the back praising god for the fact that German had no open slots but my rejoicing has turned to weeping, this...

    New Star Trek

    I think all post TOS were fine and I though TOS movie uniforms were snazzy too, It's not that I hate the TOS uniforms I just think they are really dated and thought the others were nicer.

    The best films no one has ever seen.

    I won't name names But... I think there are people taking this thread way too seriously. If you haven't seen movies mentioned then they're something to look into, if you have seen them then good for you, you have eclectic, impeccable tastes but the back and forth and debates over whether or...

    New Star Trek

    one of the (only) things I didn't like about TOS was the costumes on the crew (always too 60's IMO) but I loved some of the monsters and your nero one looks great

    New Star Trek

    every time I get irritated by new developments... I remind myself that if it's bad I'll always have the original series/movies and if it's good then I can look forward to more decent Trek in the future. there was a story about raymond chandler that pertains to this nicely I think. When a...

    Young loungers

    I too am young, I'm only sixteen, but I was raised in an enviroment bound to turn out a vintage enthusiast. My parents are both very conservative (in a good way) I have a dad who never takes off his stetson except when indoors, a mother who hasn't worn pants since highschool and who considers...

    The best films no one has ever seen.

    ditto. One of the best movies I've seen that isn't well known is the Boondock saints. I've never met someone who didn't like it but a lot of people I known haven't seen it.

    The Classical Music Thread

    I like all Tchaikovsky pieces because the 1812 overture is what piqued my interest in classical music. I'm not horribly learned on classical music but I like all of Tchaikovsky music because whether or not you like it you can feel the passion behind it.

    How hard is it to find a nice DB suit these days???

    your title is nice DB suit, I can't imagine a nice DB suit for under 200. I hope I didn't crush your dreams but it has to be said, unless you have a stroke of luck this is very unlikely. Especially if you have a body not built for off the rack clothes, it's a plight I know all too well, I'm...
