    Ironweed

    Thought I'd post that Ironweed has been released on DVD recently. Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep and a very young Tom Waits in a period 1938 drama.

    For Sale: Men's Hamilton Jazzmaster Slim Watch 40mm

    For sale is a men's Hamilton Jazzmaster Slim Watch in 40mm. Perfect "as new" condition. I bought this watch about two weeks ago but was recently laid off, so it doesn't really fit my lifestyle (or my bank account) right now. The retailer doesn't accept returns either. My loss is your gain. Worn...

    XL AB Adventure Shirt for sale

    I received my XL AB Adventure shirt in the mail today. I washed it in cold water and dried it for about 10 minutes on low in the drier and it's too small for me in the shoulders. I'm 6' and have fairly broad shoulders, but if you're tall and lanky (or heroin chic) it'll probably work. I always...

    New GB Expedition

    Just received my Gibson & Barnes Expedition "Indy" jacket yesterday with special order nickel zipper. Getting GB to take my money was like pulling teeth I'm sorry to say. I had to take the zipper request up a level to a supervisor and had to pay an extra $38 for the privilege. Since I...

    Indy V

    http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2009/06/18/indiana-jones-5-in-the-works/ Empire magazine and Ain’t It Cool News are reporting that a fifth Indiana Jones film is in the works — at least according to producer Frank Marshall. Shia LaBeouf, who played the motorcycle-riding Mutt Williams in last...

    Evolution of the T-Shirt

    Does anyone know about the evolution of the T-shirt? Whence did it come? Am I correct in assuming it went from the wife beater, to the crew neck, to the v neck? For the period from, say the 1920-1939, what was generally worn? Thanks!

    What's a good way to get the shine off a new leather holster? I want it to look well-worn while not harming the color. Thanks

    1930's Fabric Weight for Modern Suits

    Hello All, I was curious if anyone knows about a current suit manufacturer that makes suits with the weight of old, 1930's era fabrics. As I'm sure most of you already know, fabric in that area was loomed differently so the fabric weight was heavier and more durable. I love the suits...

    Calling all fans of the Great Depression

    Okay, I have a secret to share with my peoples. I've always had a guilty pleasure: I have a lot of nostalgia for the Great Depression. Period movies, novels, works of non-fiction, I just can't get enough. I'm flying my freak flag high in the hopes of attracting others to my banner, particularly...

    Hasidic Jews and the Fedora

    I read this article this morning in the NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/16/nyregion/16bigcity.html?ref=nyregion and I was curious if someone could explain to me the connection between the Hasidim and fedoras. I've seen them wearing only black fedoras, and never any other style or color.

    Straw Hat Recommendation?

    I'm looking for a quality, straw survivor/adventurer style hat. Not for the city, more for hiking, working around the farm, getting dirty, that kind of thing. I need something well made, a wide brim, and it needs to be available in X-LARGE as I have a head with its own weather system. Col...

    Hard vs. Soft Hats

    Hello All, After an impatient year of waiting, I finally received my second Adventurebilt. Question: My first AB, 100% beaver, was relatively stiff. My new AB, also 100% beaver, is really soft to the touch and very pliable. What can I attribute this to?

    Anyone done business with J.L. Powell?

    On their website they list the Montana Drover Hat: http://jlpowellusa.com/product/38_41-Accessories/265-J-L-Powell-Montana-Drover-Hat.html For the price it seems a bit steep, but it looks nicer in the catalog than on the web. I was thinking I might go for it but was wondering if anyone...
