    Your favorite toys as a kid?

    Action figures all the way: Major Matt Mason (Mattel's Man In Space), G.I. Joe, Johnny West, Big Jim, all the Mego Comic Book and TV Series characters. Wow, too many to list.

    Show us their suits

    I was re-reading one of my old issues of CLASSIC STYLE today and came across a photo of Bogart's suit from The Big Sleep (Issue #2, Page 19) from an article on the collector who owns it. Measurements given seem very questionable to me. Jacket: 44" chest, 42" waist, 29" collar to skirt, and...

    Single-breasted three-piece suit, peak lapels

    Funny I find this thread tonight. Earlier this evening I was dining downtown and wondered into a Jos. A. Bank store next door to kill a little time. I asked the salesman if they had anything in single-breast with peaked lapels. That they didn't wasn't very surprising. What was surprising is...

    BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

    We're lucky enough to have the Alabama Theater in Birmingham. Built in 1927 by Paramount Studios, it mostly serves as a live music venue these days (I saw both Stevie Ray Vaughan and Lyle Lovett there) but still regularly screens classic films several times a month. This month they are doing...

    Hotel Noir?

    Just saw something about this today . . . http://youtu.be/seiC6OlIvUw Looks interesting. Anyone else heard anything about it or seen it yet?

    Hey, jamespowers. Still looking forward to seeing pictures of that bird tie if you ever get the chance to post them.

    Nice lot, jamespowers. If I had to pick out which were the modern ones, I'd say second from left and second from right, and maybe third from right as well. But that's just going by design.

    The beard

    Full beards or van dykes can be flattering, and a few guys can pull off a "stache" very well. But you got to have the right face for it. In my opinion mustaches worn alone in modern times, more often than not, make a guy look like either a cop, a fast-food manager, or a time-warped 70s/80's male...

    Fonzie's Jacket No Longer On Display At Smithsonian

    Well he might have well been coasting through those few scenes, but there was no board in them. It wouldn't be the first time a celebrity has recalled something that on-screen evidence shows to the contrary. Sometimes stars embellish and modify their stories for the sake of a good interview or...

    whats your favorite aftershave splash on fragrance?

    I've never been much for aftershave or cologne. I find witch hazel does the trick nicely without the perfumy after-smell. My father was an Old-Spice man, so on the rare occasion that I do use an aftershave it's usually Old-Spice, very sparingly. Though I have taken lately to using Old-Spice body...

    Fonzie's Jacket No Longer On Display At Smithsonian

    I assure you the rockabilly scene is alive and well, if a bit underground at the moment . . . and it's "revival" on this side of the pond started "up North" in Massapequa, NY, at the home of one Brian Setzer. In fact, the rockabilly crowd are some of the most die-hard retro fanatics out there...

    Fonzie's Jacket No Longer On Display At Smithsonian

    Henry Winkler may not have ridden well, but he did ride at least enough to get through a few scenes. He rides through a couple shots in the earlier show intros and is clearly neither on a trailer nor being pushed. As anyone who rides will tell you, it's much harder to control a bike while being...

    The beard

    I sometimes keep a beard, but not usually this full. I've been growing this for a couple months now in preparation for a role in an upcoming short film currently in production. The above photo is from wardrobe tests we shot for the film.

    Fonzie's Jacket No Longer On Display At Smithsonian

    I actually used to own an officially licensed Fonzie jacket back in the late 70's when I was a teenager. It got away from me somehow through the years - not that I could wear it today even if I still had it. As I recall the lining of the jacket had a bunch of Fonz-related nomenclature printed on...

    What gives you that vintage feeling?

    Speaking of smoking in old movies, we're currently in production with a film noir comedy short set in the late 1940's. One of the main characters needs to smoke, and I have to acquire the props. What brand available today best matches what would have been smoked in that era, or would at least...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    This is my latest fedora, a Barrister by Champ. Not sure of the year but I believe it to be genuine late 40's/early 50's.

    What sparked your fascination with the "Golden Era"?

    I grew up thoroughly a child of my era (born in the 60's, came of age in the 70's and early 80's), but the older I get, the more I tend to recede into the the ways and styles of the Golden Era. Everything just had so much more class and authenticity back then.

    What gives you that vintage feeling?

    I don't smoke. I have never smoked cigarettes (though I do enjoy a good cigar on rare occasion, and I don't mind pipes). I grew up in a household where both parents smoked and I thought it was a disgusting habit that never appealed to me. About the only place I've ever found smoking attractive...

    Don't wish to hurt any feelings, but I have to say those are all pretty hideous. I have a great disdain for camouflage on anything but BDUs or hunting apparel.
