    Hey all, I didn't see this posted anywhere (if it is sorry), but I just found out a couple of days ago that TotGM is now on DVD. There's both a US and international release. I picked it up at Best Buy, but here's a link to the main site for info...

    Has anyone seen the new issue of GQ?

    I’m not sure if this has been posted, but the new issue has a picture of one of our very own FL members (not me) in their “people on the street” section. I can’t remember what page; 34 or 35 I think, just after a little article on how the hat is making a comeback.

    50's East German parade uniforms

    I have two 1950’s East German parade uniforms; shirt, pants, jacket (and I think a tie but I can’t remember) One man’s and one woman’s. I’m not sure of the sizes. They are pretty dusty and the men’s jacket does have some stains on it. There is also a pair of East German Army...

    Help from Loungers in San Francisco/ Bay area

    Hello all, My wife was offered a Post Doc. position at UC Berkeley so it looks like we’ll be moving after she graduates in December. I know it’s still several months off, but I really like to preplan these things. The most I’ve ever moved in the past (not counting when I was a kid) has...

    5000 members?

    The Lounge seems so big now with our numbers over 5000. With Marc having a “nostalgia day”, it got me thinking; how many of that 5000 truly are “members”, people who post on a regular (or semi regular) basis and are here to make friends and be part of a community? How many have come...

    Funny Quotes

    Does anyone know any good quotes from old radio shows circa 1937-39? Sort of a 30’s Homer Simpson, kind of like: Marge: “Homer!” Homer: “Doh!” It’s for a comic book I’m doing, but all the comedy shows I have are from the 40’s. I know the general audience wouldn’t know...

    4 more days…

    And I’ll be off to WDW in Florida. I’ll be gone all next week. I’ll make sure to take a lot of pics, and post them on my return. That is if the Lounge is still here when I get back. I hope my copy of Classic Style arrives soon so I have something to read on the plane.

    Curse like an actor!?

    Has anyone watched the blooper real on the new “the Maltese Falcon”? Now, I’m not naive enough to think people in the 30’s and 40’s didn’t curse, and it’s hard to get away from it in this day and age… But to hear Pat O’Brien, Jimmy Stewart, and a couple of others let out a string of swear...

    Connery’s “Allan Quatermain” Hat

    Well, there are threads for the vest and the belt, how about the hat? Any ideas? I know the one in the film was custom made by the costume department using felt form Italy. Does anyone know of anything close?

    what about buffalo?

    There’s rabbit and beaver, but what about buffalo? I don’t think they make fedoras out of it, but I just say an ad in the new issue of “True West” for buffalo felt cowboy hats. It’s says they’re waterproof. Any thoughts?
