I love drinking Jack Daniels neat, but it's been my drink for a long time and I'm looking to branch out and try scotch. I've always found the charcoal taste in scotch a bit much, so what is a good scotch to start out with? Something that won't turn me off and I can develop a palette for. Price...
I was watching The Patriot again recently, and I was curious what the purpose of the straps were that Mel Gibson's character wore above his boots just above his knee?
Anyone know?
Does anyone have a source for modern pocket watches? I like the kind with the closing lid to protect the face (I believe their called hunter's pocket watches?).
I've been looking on the Bay at vintage pieces, but I'd like to see what's out there for modern watches under warranty, etc.
So recently my interest in all things Victorian England has been rekindled, with all the recent movies like Sherlock Holmes, Young Victoria, etc.
Are there any sites like the Fedora Lounge dedicated to Victorian interests, or do we maybe start a new thread about this topic?
I'm looking for a quality leather motorcycle jacket. My preference is for the traditional, banded collar design, with no logos.
If anyone can recommend a website that'd be great.

Secondhand Lions
Cab anyone get screengrabs from the movie Secondhand Lions? I'm looking for shots of the brown western hat that Michael Caine wore in the movie.
Thanks!
Anyone else seen the preview for the new movie Get Low? Stars Robert Duvall (my favorite actor), Sissy Spacek, and Bill Murray:

Supposedly it comes out late July in LA and NY, and I'm guessing much later everywhere else.
Don't know the exact name for it, but does anyone know where I can buy a War Chest? I'm thinking of the kind Clint Eastwood stored his firearms in as portrayed in the movie Grand Torino. Can be about the same size or a little smaller.
So I just watched Mel Gibson's "The Patriot" for the third time and really enjoyed it. Does anyone know of other films taking place in this era? Doesn't have to be exact, just roughly that time frame.
Also really enjoyed Last of the Mohicans.
Thanks!
Great story about Sir Ian McKellen being mistaken for a panhandler:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/australia/7705972/Sir-Ian-McKellen-mistaken-for-tramp-outside-theatre.html
As a rule I don't give out money to panhandlers, but if I saw anyone with a bowler...
So I read the other day that using a clothing brush on one's suits can increase the lifetime of a suit by a few years.
1. Is this true?
2. What is a good, quality brand for not too much money?
3. Advice on technique?
Can anyone post a screen grab from Public Enemies? I'm looking for a shot of the guy wearing the beige fedora with grey ribbon. He was an extra in the scene when J. Edgar had promoted Purvis, and Purvis was giving a press conference outdoors.
I'm considering ordering one and I'd like to be...

Came across this in the NY Times, an interesting take on the personals ad, showing they've been around since Victorian times:

Thought I would post this as a counter-balance to my post about the Lost Art of Manliness.

Thought I would pass along this book I came across. Excellent guide to the lost art, and belongs on the shelf of "our people."

I'd like to get recommendations for modern films set in Victorian times, one of my favorite eras. I don't require high art, just great visuals and atmosphere.
Currently I own The Illusionist, From Hell with Johnny Depp, and the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes.
Any suggestions would be...
