"Bond,.......Fedora Bond"
So many hats, so few heads Thanks to all of you for the bucket-load of information on my Bond hat. I wore it today while out and about and received a couple of nice comments; Sean Connery move over ! I'm going back to where I bought it next week because the fellow I bought it from says he...- Frankie Lamb

Post New Hats Here!
"Bond,........Fedora Bond" I just picked up a nice chocolate brown "Bond" fedora at a local swapmeet. It's high crowned, rolled edge with a two inch brim and a two inch hat band, all in excellent condition with one minor problem; the sweat band is cracked and flaking at the edges only. Still...- Frankie Lamb

"Bond,.......Fedora Bond"
Just picked up a really nice cherry fedora at a swap meet this morning. It's a Bond "Fifteen" and is dark chocolate brown. It's high crowned with a rolled brim. The only thing amiss is the sweatband had begun to harden and flake at the outer edges a bit but is still wearable. It had been...- Frankie Lamb

Show us your TIES
"Find a limb an hang 'em !" Well Gents, after drooling over some of the ties I've seen here I'm thinking of throwing mine in the fireplace! So far I only have upwards of a hundred or so and it's already getting hard to find a decent way to hang them so they're easy to see at a glance when I'm...- Frankie Lamb

Calling all Rustics!
Being there I guess I may as well fling my Farthing into the ring on this subject. Forgotten Man, every time I see you at an event I get the distinct feeling you're deeply embedded in the period you speak of. It's a lot more than the correctness of your clothes, which by the way are always...- Frankie Lamb

What are doing at 7:55 AM Sunday, December 7th 2008 ?
Personally, I'll be giving a prayer for all of our men and women, both military and civilian, who perished at Pearl Harbor sixty-seven years ago. Hope I'm not alone. Bless 'em all Frankie Lamb- Frankie Lamb

Literary Leap Frog anyone?
What say you to a game of Literary Leapfrog. I'll start off with a short paragraph and whomever feels like adding a paragraph until something resembling a story results.

It ain't my "style"
Gee, it looked great in the dark last night I finally got frustrated with "interviewing" barbers today; It's amazing how many barbers in Los Angeles have cut Frank Sinatra's hair. They even have autographed photographs on the wall to prove it!! I returned to my old stand-by female stylist, and...- Frankie Lamb

It ain't my "style"
Can anyone who lives in the general area of San Fernando Valley recommend a good barber; one who can cut hair in the forties/fifties style? I don't want to go through anymore "Mondo the Magnificents" who call themselves "stylists" instead of "barber", and charge a fee equal to my car payment...- Frankie Lamb

Hair Tonic
Vitalis Shampoo I've recently gone back to using Vitalis hair tonic with very pleasing results, including a couple of positive comments from the Ladies. I found they also make a shampoo with a "thickener" agent, but when I tried to find it in my area ( Los Angeles ) nobody had ever heard of...- Frankie Lamb

Help, I need a needler !
I live in the Santa Clarita area of Los Angeles and I'm looking for a competent but not ultra-pricey tailor. I've used up most of the locals with varied results. Specifically, I have a late thirties/early forties suit that needs the pants shortened and the same with the coat sleeves; nothing...- Frankie Lamb

Just watched Chinatown...
Nicholson's best performance??? Well I may as well fling my farthing in while the debate is still going. "Chinatown" has been widely recognized as the best crafted screenplay, ever. As for it's follow up, "Two Jakes", it pales, but mostly by comparison, although for certain there were parts of...- Frankie Lamb

"Barton Fink" the later years.
I finally got around to watching "Barton Fink." For some reason I've never been able to get around to seeing it, but it was on last night and it blew me away. Great period stuff, from the desk fan, ash-tray/match holder, to the clothes the actors wear. The period is of course, early 1942...- Frankie Lamb

Where did it go?
Win some, lose some. RBH: Close, but no Fedora! I was all over several of their "Frank Sinatra in the 50's" look straws but I just couldn't draw that fourth ace so I saved my chips for another day. At least my "Champ" isn't so tight that it gives me a headache anymore. Frankie Lamb- Frankie Lamb

Is it a hit, or is it a miss??
I just bought a very clean, near mint fedora today. I did a little checking and found out it's a Resistol. The leather hat-band has the owners initials ( MFC ) stamped in it along with "Desmonds Southern California", and "Pace-Setter". In addition, it has "Self Conforming" written in script...- Frankie Lamb

Period correct question
Thanks all. Wow, thanks for all your great responses. I'm going to pop down to American Vintage in Hollywood this morning in hopes they'll have an appropriate jacket.
