I emailed the seller and asked if if was a "motorcycle" jacket and how did the sleeves close and the guy mailed back "Yes" and "Elastic?" I think I would want a jacket with zippered sleeves or some kind of old-fashioned strap or something. So how do the cuffs close on a non-zippered sleeve Highwayman and is it a motorcycle jacket? ]]> Outerwear Vespizzare http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?64070-How-Do-the-Cuffs-Close-on-a-Non-Zipped-Sleeve-Highwayman http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?64069-How-to-tie-a-Headscarf-retro-style.&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 22:52:17 GMT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOEbz...ure=plpp_video

This will be an everyday hat that could actually get torn up [I'm a Parole Agent that works the field]. So I am not going to buy an expensive Stetson, etc. I have used Cabela's shirts before and they are great, but have any of you used these hats, and if so what was your opinion on them.

I have a couple of Hat People newsboys arriving this week and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on shaping them into decent "over the brim" style? I'm not keen on the poufe on the head look so any tips and directions will be appreciated.

I know that 102.9 KLDE was like that that played 40s and 50s music. I remember listening to it with my dad on the way home from work. Sadly it is a different station now.

The only other station I know of, 88.7 KUHF that broadcasts a prairie home companion with Garrison Keillor Saturdays at 12:00 noon and rebroadcast at 12:00 noon on Sundays.

This 1960 F4 Toggle set is in really amazing condition. I hesitate ever to use the word mint, but this thing is really damned near pristine. The plating is excellent all over, and the paint is also all there. THe case is a little grimy in places, and slightly scratched, but overall excellent. The insert removes from the case to make a foldable travel roll for the razor. You won't find many like this!

This razor will come cleaned and disinfected and ready to shave with 5 brand new Personna lab blades.

Mr. Sharpman says: "Blade changes at the flip of a switch, with the Gillette Toggle."

I'm happy to ship outside the U.S. and Canada just ask for a shipping quote.

P.S. THis razor is sort of special, if you just want a great shave, I've got plenty of more affordable razors in my shaving section ]]> Classifieds mattface http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?64058-1960-Gillette-Toggle-Double-Edge-Razor-Set http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?64057-F-S-Dobbs-Twenty-7-1-4&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 01:07:39 GMT For sale is a beautiful Dobbs Twenty.

This hat was purchased on Ebay with one moth hole on the right side of the brim that does not go through the brim. A fellow Lounger graciously offered his services to repair the hole using his technique of shaving felt and mixing it with glue in the hole. The result is excellent. It is slightly darker but not very noticable. The photos in the evening sun accentuate the negative and I didn't do myself any favors but it shows it at its worst in the shadow so I chalk it up to full disclosure. The interior of the hat is absolutely mint. It has some slight wear around the points on top of the crown but otherwise is beautiful. I never wore it since its purchase on Ebay because it doesn't really fit with my style or wardrobe. I have not stretched it. I am on the border between 7 1/4 and 7 3/8 and this is slightly snug on me. I hope a fellow Lounger will enjoy it and wear it. $150.00 plus actual shipping costs via USPS. Please PM me if you have questions or wish to purchase!
