I've been a fan of British crime dramas for a while, their characters are just so entertainingly quirky and their plots seem so much more layered than their American counterparts.
I recently watched series one of The Last Detective, starring Peter Davison(of Doctor Who fame) and loved it...
Does anyone else find themselves constantly reading children's books? I just finished re-reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (in preparation for the new movie) and started reading the phantom tollbooth.
Do a lot of loungers do this? It's something I never noticed myself doing but I am...
Simply called "Sherlock Holmes" with Robert Downey Junior in the title role. It focuses on Holmes being involved with satanists of some sort though it still takes place in the early 1900's or late 1800's. Though the plot seems a bit too silly and it has surely been made into an action film...
Do any of the members on this forum participate in miniature wargames (axis and allies, flames of war etc.?)
I'm curious simply because of the historical aspects of such games and the interest they may hold for some loungers.
PS: if this is in the wrong forum I apologize, please redirect...
What's the deal with these things? I know they were popular in the 1800's and that they regained popularity in the fifties but that's it. Where did they come from? are they still worn in some circles and can they still be bought?

Forgotten man has a brown garbadine topcoat thats a great color and looks like a great fit, problem is his has some fur on the collar and I live in washington so a fur collar would be silly.
Anyone know where I can get one or a similar one sans-fur?
I was on another thread I started and someone mentioned calvary twills.
They said it was sort of like the american chino but also said that they were originally for riding.
My questions are:
Are calvary twills, initially being for riding, tighter than other sorts of slacks?
and if they are...
I live near seattle and I like the bernie utz hat store, it's a wonderful, century old establishment where they have both casual and fancy, inexpensive and otherwise.
What are your favorite hat stores?
I'm a big fan of blazers, I own a dark brown, charcoal and a navy and I recently got a light brown from Jcrew.
