    Water Based Pomades vs Petroleum Based

    It's only recently that I've decided to try a pomade. My issue has been that with my thick, thick hair, I need something to hold my hair so my hats don't muss it up! I can't cut it short, because with the heat we have down here, I end up looking like a frizzy Chia pet. lol I found a jar of...

    Bow Ties

    Hi folks, I'm thinking of trying the bow tie out, and was wondering about the different shapes/sizes. I know that hats look best when proportioned to your face and body structure, and through some reading I've been doing on the bow tie I've gleaned an idea that there is a similar consideration...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Good choice! Which season are you in? For me it's classic Twilight Zone.

    is wearing a shirt without an undershirt improper for the golden era?

    Though I've usually bought the tagless Hanes at Target (the ones that come 4/bag for something like $15), I've been picking up these at 1 or 2 a month. Might not work for you due to your cotton criterion, however they are brilliantly comfortable; I doubt I'll go back to cotton.

    My Old-Timey Shaving Odyssey

    So, how'd it go?? Like so many products, what works best for others might not work for you and vice-versa. I had always heard that a badger brush was the way to have a proper shave, but in practice, the thickness of my stubble requires the stiffness of the boar brush, so I invested in a...

    CNN Photos: American gangsters

    Neat link, Javier. I couldn't help but noticing how high Louis Lepke Buchalter's hat is above his ears!

    Chief the Special looks great on you, and I can tell that it is breaking in very nicely, which to me says that it is getting a lot of very deserved wear! I hope all is going well. -tealseal

    Pocketwatches

    Perhaps there are two kinds of leather strap? I can't see how a wider one would fit on the Hamilton, since it doesn't have a nice wide bow like the Swiss. Thanks for the education! I appreciate your patience answering all my queries

    Watch Chains

    I was referring to things like these, specifically. I can see how a knife, pen, stamp, or other chain-type fob would be a bit out of place on the strap.

    Pocketwatches

    Thank you, Shangas! That's a big help. Looks like the serial number is 1110831 to me; does this mean 1912? Since the movement only says "5 positions," I guess I can assume that there is one position in which its timekeeping will suffer. Thanks also for the reassurance about its durability...

    Watch Chains

    Thanks guys, that helps a lot. I saw somewhere earlier in this thread mention of using the breast pocket of a shirt as a storage place, and I was a bit confused by that. Using a leather fob strap makes sense for the lapel hole, I assume that for this purpose one does not attach a fob? Where is...

    Inner hat circumference vs. head circumference - the same or a bit larger?

    Welcome to the Lounge! You will surely find this place to be an excellent hangout, full of very knowledgeable folks. I'm no expert on these matters, but my $0.02 is this (it's how I started getting into "real" hats): 1) Check out this link. Seems like you would be about a size 7 or 56 (US v...

    What pens are we carrying today?

    Lamy Safari, filled with Lamy blue. Noodler's Legal Lapis is the next ink going in though.

    Pocketwatches

    I'll show mine, and ask questions too! Hello all, Here are the two pocketwatches I own (click for bigger). First up, a Hamilton I found at an antique dealer who was liquidating his stock as he was getting set to retire. From what I can tell, it's 17 jewel, but don't know much else, since...

    Watch Chains

    Can someone please post a picture of wearing a pocket watch in a dress shirt and with a blazer (no waistcoat) for me? My watch chain recently failed, and I need to find a new one. Also, I used to have a spring-ring chain large enough to clip to a belt loop. My grandfather has a gold chain...

    WOW! Great find, TPD! Is that a deep diamond bash, or does it just look very deep from the photo? Wear it in good health.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    You'll never go back! There is a TON of internet that talks about how to clean, polish, and disinfect old safety razors. I know this is :offtopic: but will you be using a soap or a cream?
