    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Hell, that hat would probably look good backwards and upside down! (What I'm saying is that I don't think it's capable of looking bad.) ;)

    Fed IV size advice

    I usually have good luck just doing a Google search and typing in what I'm looking for along with the word "fedoralounge."

    Collector's Weekly on Vintage Men's Hats

    Yeah, I know. Probably shouldn't even be talking about it. That's one where you wish you had the ability to do Jedi mind tricks on all the people that are watching it. "This isn't the hat you're looking for. You can go about your business. Move along."

    I keep trying to read the article, but my eyes keep being drawn to the image on the upper right...

    Fed IV size advice

    I don't own an Akubra (yet), so I'm the voice of ignorance here, but from what I've read, aren't the Fed IV's a little oversized to compensate for shrinkage?

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    They Made Me a Criminal (1939) and Flowing Gold (1940) back to back (TCM was showing John Garfield movies today). Garfield was wearing the exact same fedora in both movies, I'm pretty sure.

    What's your alltime favorite movie?

    I disagree about the characters being less compelling than in the first two. I think Eli Wallach as Tuco is more compelling than all the characters in the first two combined. I consider him one of the all-time great characters, played by one of the all-time great character actors. I love both...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Biltmore Pork Pie My first attempt at a self shot with my iPhone--it ain't easy since you don't have a viewfinder. The camera caught me in a particularly good mood today, because I usually come across much meaner in photos. :D The Biltmore didn't mind the snow today, which, as you can see...

    How Can One Protect the Liner from Pomade?

    Trust me, when I wrote the words "hair treatment," I was thinking about Ulysses Everett McGill. "Your hair treatment?!"

    How Can One Protect the Liner from Pomade?

    I'm assuming he wants to prevent squashing a pompadour down, so I don't know how well the condom hat would work. Wouldn't a light spray of Scotchgard or Scout Rain & Stain offer some protection from greasy kid stuff? I've never tried it on the liner of a hat, and I don't know what effect it...

    What's your alltime favorite movie?

    No one was better than standing on top of things and laughing than Errol Flynn. Well, except for maybe Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. "If they ever come up with a swashbuckling school, I think one of the courses should be Laughing, Then Jumping Off Something." —Jack Handey EDIT: OK, that's my new...

    Television Noir

    A fine director as well, although his films aren't to everyone's taste.

    Show off your Porkpies

    The Miller/Biltmore is sans feather now since I decided I liked it better without it, despite the fact that it was a very well-matched feather. I've got another Biltmore on back order from Bencraft, a Milan pork pie, also in grey (hey, I like grey--it's versatile) and I'm looking forward to...

    Is anyone else catching American Pickers?

    That wasn't an accusation; I just happened to have the thought the other day while watching Hoarders (a show I can't stop watching even though it disturbs me) that it would be interesting if they did a crossover with American Pickers and you reminded me of it. I live fairly clutter-free now...
