    Bush Jackets

    Gents, love the thread. One of my favourite styles. Since originally posting to this thread years ago I finally got round to checking Filson's site for latest pricing on the bush jacket. Imagine my horror when it was no where to be found. And I was unable to find any shirts with ptoper...

    Of Flat Caps, Newsboys, and... Fat Heads

    Thank you Mike. Indeed, your cap really jumped off the page at me so to speak. These vintage style caps are much classier looking than modern versions. Even though you can pull off pairing a modern style with a suit the vintage style does it so much better. And I don't even have a vintage suit...

    Of Flat Caps, Newsboys, and... Fat Heads

    Thank you Ed and seabass. Glad to hear it may be more about the cut or drape of the cap than my head! It's odd how it goes with cap vs hat. Larger heads seem to look better with wider brimmed hats. Stingy brims look too small for my face. Conversely, soft caps look better on me with little...

    Of Flat Caps, Newsboys, and... Fat Heads

    Good evening chaps. It has been a long time since I have visited the Lounge and was pleased to see several threads concerning caps on the front page of the hats forum. I know caps are plenty popular here but I noted a couple of custom makers I had not seen the last time I was here. Simonds and...

    Wanna 1920s/'30s-style Newsboy Cap? Have One Made!

    Great looking caps! I think you may be onto something with the shape of the caps. And I think the more you have a long oval noggin like me, the more it affects the fit. I have been keeping an eye on the vintage stores around here but sizes larger than 7 come up so rarely I can count them on one...

    Wanna 1920s/'30s-style Newsboy Cap? Have One Made!

    Thanks Marc! Those are incredible caps. I do wish we had a milliner who would make these up along with the Irish/ivy/driving or whatever you want to call it style of cap. I love the things. Regards, Todd

    Wanna 1920s/'30s-style Newsboy Cap? Have One Made!

    Oh yeah. Wow. I haven't been to the lounge in a long time but we were just talking about similar caps over at Badger and Blade. I have a couple of B!Wear caps and they are very well made and I have no complaints about them at all. They just don't lay like I want. The vintage caps shown by the OP...

    Cologne and perfume

    The choices are always so hard. Here are a few that will never leave my favourites list. As long as the perfumers don't tinker with the formulas! George F. Trumper - Eucris. What a testosterone laden blast of black currant and other niceties. Men only please. Boys needn't apply...

    What do you use to shave?

    Hello rmrdaddy. I apologise for not responding sooner. I do not check the Lounge as often as I should. The tonsorial instrument that day was a long handled Gillette adjustable set to 3 and sporting a Feather blade. These blades are near perfection and I use them exclusively. I have a very dense...

    Sherlock Holmes Hat

    Two Gun Bob, this is where you and I will agree to..agree! I have the complete Conan Doyle canon in one binding. It is about three inches thick. I have not read a story yet that did not remind me of Jeremy Brett. The late, great Mr. Brett. He made some other good movies in his day. His turn as...

    What do you use to shave?

    Good evening gents. I see this thread comes to life from time to time so I thought I would post. Today's shave was smashing. Castle Forbes lavender shave cream, B&B Edwin Jagger finest badger brush, and QED's fabulous DaVinci water to finish it off. The usual hot water soaked wash cloth was used...

    Top hat and lounge suit

    Thank you for those links Topper. I apoligise for not answering sooner. That link to My Fair Lady was so funny. It is one of our favourite movies and the Ascot attendees dress was so beautiful. Again, thank you for your input.

    Ande1964 and AlanC Meet in Person- Consume Bison!

    Well good for you chaps. As you can see from my screen name, I am from Lawrence. About 25 miles from Leawood. If you ever come our way, stop at Free State Brewery on Massachusetts street. Fabulous ales made on site and the best gastro-pub food around.

    Top hat and lounge suit

    Hello Topper. Thank you for that information. It would be a real treat to attend Royal Ascot. In addition to the races, just seeing all those people attired in such a refined manner would be something. It is interesting about the top hats with lounge or sack suits. Do you know if there is a...

    Fancy dress only attitude gets me down.

    It is a shame that society has almost completely dumbed itself down to the point of near ridicule of anyone who dares to dress even the slightest bit "upscale" . Even though my grandparents(parents too for that matter) were/are blue collar, they would have considered a suit and hat normal attire...

    Top hat and lounge suit

    I get the semantics of your question but since the top hat in one form or another was the de facto hat for gentlemen from about 1840 to the end of the Edwardian era, then yes, it would have been late, as in the period in which they were most common. Even though the Edwardian reign ended in 1910...

    Top hat and lounge suit

    Nice photos. I think the gentleman in question is not wearing an English lounge suit but rather an American sack suit. As typified by the Brooks Brothers in the very late 19th century. Even as late as 1920 I believe wearing a topper with anything other than morning dress or a frock coat would...

    Pencil Mustache

    How could I have forgotten William Powell?!!! He was super cool. I might break this into two categories when I think of the style. First up would be the more adult or mature image of William Powell or David Niven. Class, class, class. The second category would be more toward the rake or...
