    military movies with non regulation hair cuts

    It drove me nuts when New McGarrett and New Magnum showed up in their dress whites with three-day beards or goattees.

    What's happened to Dinerman?

    Still no sign of Dinerman? His last activity with the Lounge is 2018.

    Recent Wested Quality?

    I have a Wested Washed Goatskin Indy jacket I got from Wested years ago. It looks very dry, giving it a very aged look. I don't wear it much these days, but it's quite nice.

    Akubra Campdraft

    I think the Fed IV is more of a long oval than the Campdraft. I too needed to stretch the Campdraft for more comfort, but the Fed IV of the same size fits like it was custom made.

    Have we digressed too far from the golden era?

    The original concept of this forum, I believe, was to post things related to the "Golden Era." I see a lot of posts these days that have nothing to do with it. Thoughts? Cheers to all!

    military movies with non regulation hair cuts

    Not to mention the three-day goatee that Jay Hernandez sports while wearing his navy dress whites in the reboot of Magnum PI. Same thing with the now-completed reboot of Hawaii Five-O, where Steve McGarrett had a three day stubble, again in his dress whites.

    I see. Thanks. That makes perfect sense.

    Watch chain: An unexplained feature

    But magnetic? Isn't that bad for vintage watches? I seem to recall a big feature of watches in the 60s and earlier was "anti-magnetic." Maybe someone with more knowledge than me can chime in.

    The handwriting of everyday

    Good points, Hudson. My hand-written notes are definitely for my eyes only -- all others get typed.

    Hair cuts

    Mr Natty, who has an interesting video linked to much earlier in this thread, when he worked in London, seems to have landed in NYC, at a shop called Tuft. $65 a pop is about $40 too rich for my blood, though.

    Are you sure this isn't a DC-3?

    Barbershops

    Great clip! I love it when his hat is suddenly too big.

    Barbershops

    Though I really like the ambience, I find a lot of what are labelled as "traditional" barbershops nowadays are filled with tattooed, pierced, lumberjack-bearded hipsters who only know how to do one cut and that with buzzers. I've been going to a salon for years as the barber there knows how to...

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    Looks like the Gorn from the original Star Trek series.

    My father told me never to lend a fountain as it can be ruined by someone used to a bic. Too bad you didn't have that excuse to hand!

    The handwriting of everyday

    I find that writing cursively is a great way to slow down my mind. It's almost like a form of meditation.

    The handwriting of everyday

    I agree, Edward. I have a very high-tech job, but still take a lot of hand-written notes -- with a fountain pen, of course!

    Comment by 'Harry Gooch' in article 'The Legendary.... Pencil. The Blackwing 602.'

    I bought a box of the Palamino Blackwing 602s recently -- gave one to my wife, a writer like me. She loves it and has reserved several more from the box. Thanks for the review, Scott.
