    Folding Money

    I found an interesting gadget called the "Smart Money Clip" which can be found here: http://www.storus.com/moneyclipoffer.html The only complaint I would have is that it has some rough/sharp corners that can wear a hole in your trousers.

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    I suggest Hamilton, an American classic. Check out their Khaki line of watches. You can find quite a bit on eBay.

    Folding Money

    I read about a great savings idea even better than not spending your coins. It suggests that you never spend your $1 bills. Spend coins freely but save your dollars, they accumulate faster and store easier when it's time to take them to the bank...

    Hey Scotsman, what exactly is a "Yuppie Foodstamp?"

    Folding Money

    Carrying cash for me is a budgeting tool. I have found over the years that it's just too easy to overspend when I carry my credit cards around with me. There's always that self-justifying "emergency" or "must have" item. These days I carry folding money wrapped around a drivers license and my...

    Folding Money

    I'm not sure if this is really a memory, or wishful thinking, but I seem to remember my grandfather carrying what today would be considered a lot of money folded up in his front trouser pocket. Maybe $500 in various bills. I'm curious what the habits are of Fedora Lounge members? As a rule, how...

    News about Marlowe project

    I think we're arguing the same point from different ends. As you said, most stories are modern interpretations of older versions (Greek myths anyone?). I believe it IS possible to breathe new life into old forms (westerns and noir for example), and it's possible for tv to pull it off. But...

    News about Marlowe project

    I'm not so sure I agree with you. Take your example of Blade Runnner, probably the best reinterpretation of the genre out there. Granted, the production values in tv are often far lower than film, but I happen to believe that it is possible to "do a modern take on a classic story" and have very...

    Is Josh Bernstein the New Indiana Jones ???

    As a professional working in the advertising industry I can say without reservation that a little media exposure, especially on TV, goes a long way. So yes, Bernstein wearing a hat will help the industry, but not to the degree Raiders did. BTW, the hat he wears was made by Nathaniels in...

    Josh Bernstein's hat from "Digging For The Truth"

    Actually it's a U.S. Cavalry hat. I've met Nate, maker of Nathaniel's, and had my cowboy hat made by him. Very nice guy, with reasonable prices and wait times.

    Concealed Weapons and Style

    You have three considerations when choosing a CCW piece. First is the weapon. I'm a big fan of 1911's, they have a very thin profile and conceal the best when you're talking a larger caliber. Second is the holster: IWB (In the Waistband) is the most concealable. I like this one...

    Novels and Movies

    If I can, I usually like to see the movie first, then read the book. The two are such different mediums, but I'm usually always disapointed with a movie if I've read the book before seeing the movie. Too many preconceived notions of character, ambience, storyline, etc. So if I like a movie I'll...

    What are your unreleased dvd wants?

    I'd love to see Lassiter with Tom Selleck, and High Road to China, also with Selleck and both set in the late 30's and early 40's.

    Best quotes - Merged thread - Keep it Clean! No dashes! No Symbols!

    Don't know if it's my favorite of all time, but a line from my favorite guilty pleasure, Last Man Standing with Bruce Willis, after his car is ruined by the bad(er) guys, goes: Finn: Did you get that car of yours fixed yet? Smith: I'm running a little short of cash, I was hoping you maybe...

    The New Gentleman: Good News for Classic Style

    Great article, thanks for posting it. I hope, and believe, the author is right about men's style experiencing a renaissance. It would sure be a nice change from the Uber-Slacker and Metro-Sexual ( shudder)of the 90's. I'm a grown-up and not afraid to dress like one!
