Hand Blocked Stingy Hipsters
Makin Hats does a very nice job with the more contemporary styles. Not really my taste (or budget) but still a decent product.- Lance Uppercut

Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT
When Miller first started gaining notoriety, I enjoyed the stuff he was doing. I felt it was a big departure . . . until I started digging deeper and discovering several other artists that had been employing similar techniques to better effect for many years. If you've never see or read it...- Lance Uppercut

Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT
I'll grant you that Frank Miller's work on Daredevil (in the early 80's) was quite a departure in comic storytelling at the time. My personal feeling is that he's not honed his narrative craft at all since then. He regurgitates a lot of genre material without really bringing anything unique to...- Lance Uppercut

Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT
When you look at all these fictional characters and the you look at the sad pool of contemporary actors the disconnect becomes all the more clear. IMO: The ideal type of talent to play The Spirit needs to be someone like a young James Garner. Frank Miller's work lacks subtlety and there's more...- Lance Uppercut

Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT
I believe the Clive Owen character in Sin City also wore Converse for some reason . . . I don't know what the "logic" is but to me it's quite distracting. I hope Miller got a nice chunk of endorsement change.- Lance Uppercut

Hand Blocked Stingy Hipsters
A lot of these contemporary hats (and they are indeed hats) just don't strike me as very flattering. Depends on the wearer and what, if anything, they do to follow through with the rest of their ensemble. But all things being equal, it's a very subjective call. My personal feeling: I'm just...- Lance Uppercut

The Great Beer Thread
Oh, and here in Chicago you can occasionally find Pabst on tap. Not bad at all . . . much better than canned. I also enjoy the occasional Erdinger and Dixie beer.- Lance Uppercut

Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT
All the movies I mention have redeeming qualities here and there, mostly in the art/production design. Plenty of style but no real meat on the bone. Take a film like Raiders . . . inspired by and drawing heavily from an established (pulp) genre but becoming an animal all it's own. It exceeded...- Lance Uppercut

Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT
It's unfortunate that pretty much the entire Eisner/Spirit lexicon is being kicked to the curb . . . but I'm in no way surprised. This movie, like the vast majority of main stream films, is a mass-consumption product aimed at the youth demographic. It's making ZERO effort to appeal to a...- Lance Uppercut

Hank Kimball, khaki uniform fedora
Thank you all for the warm welcome! I've been a hat lover my entire life and have a great appreciation for the culture fostered by this site. That said, I'll be sure to post pics of my various hats in the coming days. I'm going through a bit of a cloth "newsie" period at the moment but I can...- Lance Uppercut

Hank Kimball, khaki uniform fedora
The hats worn by Alvy "Hank Kimball" Moore were made by the Bee Hat Company of St. Louis, MO. I own two of these, one purportedly from the Green Acres costumer that bears a "Western Costume" mark. Not sure of the model or style distinction but I'm still trying to run that down.- Lance Uppercut
