Anyone have wide feet? I have flat Fred Flintstone feet, and doubt if I could fit into some of the boots, as their toes are too narrow. I usually where Vasque hiking boots as my normal shoe, because they have wide toes and good ankle support.
Which boots would be a good choice for wider feet?

Indy fedora from Buckaroo Hatters?
I've only heard good things about Mr. Moore and Buckaroo Hatters. I am looking at getting a dark gray fedora, likely similar to the Pan Am Clipper, to match my dark gray suit. Have any folks had an Indy style fedora made by Mr. Moore? I'd love to see examples. I'm also wondering at the colors of gra...

Nice bag, is that an as-new old suitcase, or a modern reproduction? Cost Plus World Market has some cases already fitted with stickers. As I recall somebody sells reproduction stickers in sets as well. http://www.worldmarket.com/Vintage-Leather-Luggage/lev/4/productId/2583/Ntt/luggage/Ntx/mode+match...

I live in California where you can't even carry a toy gun that looks like a real gun. Even an orange cap is not enough here, it has to be some bright color or transparent.
