    Been a while: trying to decide between Cabela's Stetson and Borsalino Casual Crusher

    Hi everyone! It has been a while since I've posted on FDL, but I do drop in every once in a while to lurk. Anyway, I want to get another fedora, but I have some relatively unique preferences -- a brim at or less than 2 1/2" and a lower crown (definitely no more than 4" at the front). I'm also...

    Jackets for the smaller guy -- 5'7" tall and shorter

    Please forgive me if this question has come up before. I tried a couple of searches and turned up nothing, but that could be due to user error! I'm wondering if you guys can help me out. I'm 5'6" tall and about 155 pounds, and I live in Colorado. Store-bought jackets -- both leather and...

    "Cowboy Christmas Party" tonight -- help!

    I'm hoping to get some last minute advice from the good folks here at FL. I have to attend my father-in-law's "Cowboy Christmas Party" tonight and I don't own a stitch of western wear and I'm not a big fan of the traditional yolked Western shirts. They just don't look good on me, and cowboy...

    Overused plot themes, scenes, character types in fiction?

    Hello: Edit note: I thought I should broaden the scope of this thread, because "plot devices" was a semantics error on my part. I've been working on a fictional novel concept (fantasy/adventure), mostly in my head and via outline form, for a couple of years now. Without giving away...

    Clothing/attire tips for short men

    O.K. -- some background -- I'm a short guy, 5'6" tall, thin build, 135-140 pounds in weight. I'm in relatively good shape, lift weights, hike, etc. I'll be the first to admit that even at 37 years old, I've always wondered if there are special "rules" for short men when it comes to...

    Song lyrics you messed up as a kid

    I thought this would be interesting. What song lyrics did you misinterpret when you were a kid or pre-teen? Let's keep things PG though... ;) I'm 37, so I was a pre-teen/teen during the 80s, so that's where most of my musical memory resides. In that Irene Cara (sp?) song, "Oh what a...

    Ribbon stain

    Note to Mods, if I've missed threads already dealing with this subject, feel free to delete this post. I could not find it based on my own searches, but I'll admit, I'm not the greatest forum searcher. Here's my question. It seems I've developed two stains on the ribbon of my Jimmy Pierce...

    My G&B Expedition

    I've been a member of the board for a few months and I realized I hadn't posted pictures of my Gibson & Barnes Expedition goatskin jacket. It is taking forever to break in -- ugh -- and I've worn the heck out of it too! The sleeves could be a touch longer, but otherwise, I really like it...

    Hartnett's hat in Black Dahlia

    I'm hoping you guys might be able to help me out. I haven't seen the movie "The Black Dahlia," only production stills. But, I'm a bit interested in the hat that Josh Hartnett wears in the movie. I know his acting stunk based on the thread here on the movie, but what kind of hat is he wearing...

    Newbie -- fedoras on short guys (5'7" and shorter)

    Hi everyone -- this is my first post, but I've been lurking for about a month or so now. I've thoroughly enjoyed this forum and reading the expert guidance on classic jackets and hats. I've never owned a fedora before, but I have a Indiana Jones-type fedora (5 1/2" crown, standard brim...
