Good tailors? I think good tailors are hard to find. They seem to be a dieing breed, with Hong Kong "tailors" selling second rate suits and premium prices (whatever their adverts say). The best tailor I've found is Vincents at Marlborough - not "that" far from Reading and really worth trying...

I've been to a lot of weddings in the UK over the years and almost invariably the ceremony has far fewer people than the reception. High Church services are really nice, but I suspect meaningless for most Brits. I wonder if, rather than a fear of catching a religion, it’s actually the...

I love pets, especially cats! After my lovely Burmese died I spent a few pet-less years. I hated being without a cat but, being both divorced and working long hours away from home, I felt it wasn't fair to buy a replacement. <sad violin music plays> Well OK. A friend who keeps garter...

Jon that's wonderful news! I wish you both all the very best for a stylish and happy future together!

I agree the world is louder (and coarser) than perhaps it one day was. On our intercity trains they set aside two carriages (one in First Class and one in Standard Class) as "Quiet" carriages. An announcement is made requesting people refrain from using "mobile phones and personal stereo...

Welcome indeed... I have found the Lounge to be the most welcoming and friendly of communities and love my time here. OK I don't post as often as I would like but I keep dropping in and reading! I wish you a long and happy association with us!

I read in The Times a really interesting article about the organic vegetables being no better than the normal ones in any measurable way. I'm totally up for concern over animal welfare and free-range works for me. Not buying into organic veggies though :)

That's a great hat - I don't have any Dobbs hats but I would really like one!

*Shivers* hmmmm its kind of macabre isn't it?

Welcome to the friendliest and best dressed boards in town (or anywhere else I think). I hope you enjoy your stay :)

Oh my! Some of the quack medicines seem to be beyond belief - people actually subjected themselves to this stuff?

Great movie and wonderful suit. I'm always struck by the suits (and dresses) in 1930's movies. It seems to have been a much better dressed (and colder) time!

I think we all like to focus on the good in people and its too easy to forget the bad things in our history. Lets hope that one day people are better and wars are a thing of a past that can be forgotten.

For me the look is the 1930's with movies like The Thin Man. Every villain in the movie looks the part - and every gent has an immaculate suit.

Welcome to the friendliest boards around! You have an excellent look - I totally admire your ability to create like that! i hope you have a long and happy time with us at the Fedora Lounge :)
