    You know you are getting old when:

    ...people start referring to you as "sir" (or "ma'am"). For no reason.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I'll probably get drummed out of the FL corps for this, but even though I own three leather jackets (and a fourth on the way), one of my prized possessions is the Pacific Trail jacket I bought on sale at Nordstrom Rack over ten years ago. I've worn it to the frozen spaces of Iceland, Denmark...

    The Real Reason Malls Are Closing

    I work part-time in a specialty store (running). Business is good, despite the existence of online merchants and big box stores. The key is the word "specialty." Where else can one get their gait analyzed, their running form evaluated, and be fitted properly in shoes that are right for both...

    Pocket Holster

    I too, carry a P938 in my right front pocket. I went through a drawer full of IWB/OWB and pocket holsters. I finally settled on Sticky Holsters. I can switch between my S&W 360, my P938 and my XD-s .45 without having to "learn" a new holster.

    If you could choose, what city would you like to see crushed by a giant monster?

    I'd prefer a neutron bomb. Leave the buildings and take the people. Then, the list would be nigh on endless.

    No. I confess my ignorance: What is Hats by the Hundred?

    Am I the only one who thinks that "Akubra" can only be pronounced properly by Australians? ;)

    It's a rainy weekend here on the US East Coast. And I've found myself in a bit of a (self-made) conundrum. To wear a hat or not? One of the reasons I decided to wear hats (as opposed to caps) was to keep the wind and rain off my head. But now I have hats that I really like and I'm afraid the...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I'm not much of a movie watcher, much less modern movies. But somehow my cable provider is granting me access to HBO, and I saw Hidden Figures listed. Based on the true story (stories?) of three mathematician women of color who were key figures in enabling the American space program to leap...

    The International Wool Felt Consortium

    No. I read through the thread and then, as most threads seem to do, as the topic strayed from the original, I simply went back to the original and posted my response. And I'm not meaning to poke the bear; I bear no ill will toward the OP or any of the other respondents. I simply don't get...

    The International Wool Felt Consortium

    Elitism, much? I have several wool felt fedoras as well as a rabbit fur felt fedora. And you know, I wear whichever hat suits my fancy and my attire for the day. I don't wear hats to impress others. I wear them for myself.

    Do you own a Tux?

    I own a tuxedo. I'm fortunate, in that I can still wear the same size I purchased some 20+ years ago. I have one or two formal events I go to every year, so after wearing it, I have it cleaned and then I put it into its hanging clothes bag. I have the whole shebang: patent leather shoes...

    What Are You Reading

    I read in spurts. Usually when I'm traveling, I check out a book or two from the library to read on the plane, in the airport, and in the hotel room. I just started a very quirky, debut novel by io9 (a Gawker web site) editor-in-chief, Charlie Jane Anders, titled "All The Birds In The Sky."...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I bought a Sterkowski fedora in black rabbit fur and it's a wonderful hat! Great fit, great looks, and well made. I'm a believer! Also, to keep on topic, I'm waiting for an Akubra Campdraft in Silverbelly. It probably won't arrive for yet another few weeks.

    A couple of fashion pet peeves...

    Two years ago I went to Maui on vacation. As part of my package, I was granted a "luxury upgrade" vehicle. Upon landing, I searched the rental car lot for my car. Lo and behold, in a separate lot, sitting by itself was a lone Buick Verona. It was my "luxury upgrade" (I own and drive a...

    How many suits do you own?

    No. The president of the company had a habit of walking around the office wearing a crewneck sweater, jeans and stocking feet. He threatened to cut off my tie if I wore one the next day... :confused:

    The Real Reason Malls Are Closing

    It's interesting to see so many suburban Washington, D.C. shoppers and business people here. This area has been "home base" my entire life. I remember when Landover Mall opened, and it was quite nice and attractive. But the crime and surrounding neighborhood ran it down to the point where...
