    Question about Trilbies and Fedoras

    In an argument about the difference between a Fedora and a Trilby someone had this to say: "Originally, both words were the names of the female leads in 19th century plays. Supposedly, both characters wore similar hats and the names of the characters came to be used to describe those hats...

    Vintage belts

    Hi ladies :) I'm wondering if anyone knows where to buy belts for vintage dresses that are missing or if anyone has a pattern to make them. Most of my dresses either didn't come with one or the belt is rotting. I've searched the internet and can't seem to find anything that looks like the...

    Kitchen knives

    Even being on this forum for three years, I wasn't sure where to post this, but my question is.... Where did people store kitchen knives in the 30s and 40s? I'm guessing they didn't have knife blocks like we have now. Were they stored in a drawer, on the wall.... ? If anyone has a picture...

    Are you ever tired of explaining why you live or dress the way you do?

    I'm not quite sure how to ask this, but this was really bugging me today, so I'll give it a try..... Very rarely, but sometimes, I don't want to go out of the house, because I don't want attention called to me because of the way I dress. God forbid when they realize how I live, because then...

    Tap pants

    I've been looking all over the internet for tap pants and all I can find are vintage ones. I have no problem wearing used clothing, but I have a bit of an issue buying used underwear. Does anyone know where to buy them new? Thank you :)

    Everyday Hairstyle

    In movies it seems like women change their hair all the time, but in real life I don't think they did judging by the pictures of my grandmother and other everyday women. I wear my hair like this everyday unless it's in a ponytail or it's a special occasion: Short or long still the same...

    Men (or women) What is your favorite perfume for women?

    I'm looking for a new perfume after getting tired of my old one and although I've gone back to wearing Coco again after a 10 year hiatus, I'm not sure I love it as much as I did either. So, I'm curious.... what are your favorite perfumes for women (other women if you are a woman)?

    One big Fedora Lounge family

    A lot of people, including myself, think of the Fedora Lounge as one big family. The subject came up in another thread discussing who we thought the different family members would be and why, so I thought it would be fun to start a thread about it. Soooo... If we are one big family, where do...

    Old homes

    Anyone that knows me knows that I have a deep passion for old homes. It doesn't matter if they are in good condition or not... sometimes they tug at my heart, but most of the time they make me smile. I thought it would be nice to have a thread where we could share pictures of homes that we walk...
