Green Whippet #2
Hey Jimmy Could you please tell me what Optimo charges for what you had done to that hat? I have a pretty nice Whippet that could use the same treatment and they did a wonderful job on yours. Thanks from a former Detroiter. Jim -
Lets see your Balloon Tire Bikes
Here is my 53 Schwinn. My friend Louie GAVE it to me. I pinstriped his 53 Plymouth for free and he wanted to do something nice for me. What a great friend. It even has vintage 1950s saddle bags. Is this thing cool or what!?!- BigSleep

Your Favorite Band of Brothers Episode
As well as being a painter of Hot-Rods and Custom Cars I am an actor on the side. I recently shot a new movie with Ross McCall. He played Liebggott in BAND OF BROTHERS. He was a ton of fun on the set and my scene was with just him and myself. The film is titled "Knuckledraggers". Its a... -
Pasadena Hat Shop
Well, I broke my own rule and went back to Barrons hats. I have an Open Road that needs a little work. I dont know if they changed owners or what but I was greeted by a guy named Gunner Fox. This guy was so helpful. It was an entirely different experience from my last one. Which I swore... -

Classic Adventure Reading
A few years back I got on a kick of reading some adventure classics that I had heard about all my life. I got into it because I am a big N.C. Wyeth fan and found some editions with illustrated panels in them. I started with "Treasure Island", "Kidnapped", Robinson Crusoe", "Robin Hood" and...- BigSleep

Hat Boxes
Go to your local western shop. Most places that sell western boots will also have western hats. Where there are hats there are hat boxes. I suspect they will sell you a few. I cant remember where to go in Knoxvegas but if you go over to Seveirville you will probably find a place. Hope this helps. -

Count me in! Are yours made of 'The stuff that dreams are made of' or just some kind of resin?- BigSleep

Was there a gangster story in your family???
My Grandpa ran a speak-easy in Cleveland. He used to tell me how he would go and pick up the booze in two suitcases. He would take a streetcar to within a couple blocks of the boarding house where the speak-easy was, then transfer to a cab for the last couple blocks because you could tell he...- BigSleep

Just a recommendation
Okay this isnt a recommendation for a movie that features vintage clothes. But It does take place during WWII. The movie is called "Silent Night". It stars Linda Hamilton. It is the story of 3 American soldiers and 3 German soldiers who spend Christmas together in a German woman's cabin...- BigSleep

The Wild One
Ya. The Barron's one also has a weird looking bill. I think it's too long. I have a couple old 7 point service caps. One for Pet milk and another for the post office. But I think the Brando hat is made with a larger cloth section up top. With all the leather ones out there you would think... -

The Wild One
Hey guys Do any of you know what ever happened to the hat that Marlon Brando wore in The Wild One? This is an iconic hat/cap and I wondered if it might be in a museum or if its one of those pieces lost to history. Also wondering about the jacket he wore. Had "Johnny" painted on the front and... -
Pipe Smoking
My 2 cents I was at the Mooneyes X-mas party last weekend. For those who dont know, this is a hot rod and custom car show and drag. It's the scene that all the hipster hit! I saw more than one guy UNDER THE AGE OF 30 with pipes. Keep your eyes peeled. It think it'll be the next trend. But...- BigSleep
