--- Quote from: Carl-E on 03 Sep 2009, 00:55 ---OK, it's a little off topic, but I finally figured out what's been bothering me about the "fancy dress" sequences. It's the hats! Not the women's hats, they looked great, it's the men's hats. The brims are too small!
Now, before everybody starts calling me a costume Nazi, it's really just an aesthetic thing. I only mention it because I know Jeph is continuously trying to improve his art. Of course, I doubt he reads much of this...
Back to the hats... a bowler/Derby like Will was wearing needs to have a wider brim that curls up on the sides. The same is true of the top hats, and the body of a top hat should curve in a bit on the sides. The stovepipe style was out of fashion when Lincoln wore one, but even it had a wider brim!

This. Also the fact that women wear corsets under other clothes, not AS CLOTHES in the victorian period. And they had sleeves and straps on their clothes.
HOWEVER, that is a BAR and so... it's not really historical as much as "some crap the guys who own the bar bought at a costume store". So I can let it go. Mostly.

Wil's hat brim has bugged me from the first, but I thought that maybe it was meant to be narrow or possibly I was misremembering the looks of a bowler.

Poor Sven. He's such a wiener. I don't think he's ever experienced true regret before. He usually just uses a girl up until he gets bored and moves on before they matter. That's gotta burn. I wonder if this will help his writing career. There's nothing like fresh raw emotions put to paper. Mayhap he'll actually start writing music for a genre he actually listens to.

Do you listen to Country? I think half of it is someone whining about someone they just lost.

...and the other half is about how good life/love/country is. It's either feast or famine!
Course, the same can be said of the blues... or early rockabilly. "Heartbreak Hotel" vs. "Viva Las Vegas!"
