An Interview with Fred Astaire on his personal style
I particularly enjoyed his dislike of the Porkpie and his choice of brim width in hats. Also, this caught me as interesting: "In the way of belts, Astaire likes to use silk handkerchiefs—purely for utilitarian purposes rather than theatrical. He has a 31-inch waist and loses pounds when he is...- tealseal

is wearing a shirt without an undershirt improper for the golden era?
lol no... I would feel too much like what one of my good friends called a "Dudebrah", referring to the type of people that join fraternities simply to party their way to early cirrhosis. The name comes from these people's propensity for addressing each other as "Duuude" or "Brah". I suppose...- tealseal

Can Anyone Pull Off a Wide-brim Fedora?
I'm sure that you have seen some of jlee's hats (and how he wears them) around the forum. This is not a gentleman that strikes me as keen to "blend in." I don't "blend in" either. I don't think that wearing anything but vintage suits is "blending in". I wear my hats, and often dress a bit... -

What Did You Drink Last Night?
In Ontario, they profit. Big time. The money goes to (mostly) the healthcare system. Next to Walmart, these guys have the biggest liquor purchasing power in the world. Let's compare (LCBO is CAD): Patron Silver tequila (750): BevMO = 43.98; LCBO = 79.95 Maker's Mark (750): BevMO = 23.99; LCBO...- tealseal

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Al, wonderful photos as always! If it were allowed, I'd reply with all these fine hats you've posted and comment on each. However, I'd particularly like to draw attention to this one. Wild color! I like this hat a lot. Very unique. -

is wearing a shirt without an undershirt improper for the golden era?
Absolutely correct. Terminology is so important! The exceptions make the rule. :) As I type this, I'm not wearing my under(T-)shirt. Of course, I'm wearing a polo, and something about Tshirts under polo shirts rubs me the wrong way- tealseal

Can Anyone Pull Off a Wide-brim Fedora?
You'll find a lot of folks here on the Lounge are keen on the wider "Golden Era" brims. My first hat was a 1 1/2" Kangol stingy. Then I moved to a 2" Stetson Saxon, followed shortly by an Akubra Federation (2 1/2" x 2 3/4" dimensional), a slight regression to the Stetson Lamont (2 1/8"), a 2"... -

is wearing a shirt without an undershirt improper for the golden era?
I didn't say I don't wash my dress shirts. I said that I don't use hot water and bleach on them. Dealing with sweat stains on cheap cotton T shirts is what I prefer to do. I also prefer to not have sweat visible on my back or under my arms (is there a chest and back antiperspirant that I'm...- tealseal

Oh yes. That's the stuff with the zinc that turns the underarm area of your shirts yellow. Thing about a white cotton undershirt is that they can be laundered in hot water with bleach, something I refuse to do with my expensive dress shirts!- tealseal

My Grave Consequence of Buying a Scala Fedora
Welcome aboard :yo: If you want to be fancy you can always use the :arated: smilie instead of typing +1 lol. Get it by typing arated between two colons. -

Introduction
Hi Brandon! Welcome to the Lounge. You'll learn as much (if not more) about the things you're interested in here, though I might warn you it will end up costing you! :P The folks here are awesome, and I look forward to your contributions as much as I value theirs. It's amazing that not only... -

I want a column
Perhaps I misunderstand Dan, but what I think he wants is a blog/column/twitter feed/periodical about what the modern hatters are doing. If that's the case then I totally agree; It would be nice to hear what they're thinking about things like: What they perceive the fur felt hat market... -

Ascots
Grabbed a cravat off Amazon a few months ago. Took it out for a drive a few days ago. Question: Are they supposed to be visible above the top of the collar, or should they only be worn with high collars, or is there a way to prevent this phenomenon?- tealseal

My Grave Consequence of Buying a Scala Fedora
+1 signifies that you agree with something. For example, if you posted "I think the entire world would be better off if everyone had one fur felt hat", I could reply with a "+1" to show that I fully agree with your statement, but have nothing else to add at the moment. A "bump" is used to... -

Akubra Overload
Fancy in Acorn?! Is anyone whose face can fit the Akubra Homburg going to take the plunge on the Homburg in Acorn Fawn? I'd be tempted, but I can't determine the proportions, and it doesn't look like it would work for me. However, a homburg in that colour looks like it would be real swell!! -

Akubra Overload
That's a swell looking hat, Oldsarge! I also really enjoy the rest of your ensemble. What, if you'll pardon my asking, is the watch? Have you considered the Acorn colour for the Stylemaster? I'm not sure if it'll meet your fawn/light tan criteria, but it's certainly not brown. All the... -

Ask a question, get an answer
Is it just me... ...or has the overall tenor of the Fedora Lounge been a bit testy recently? Seems like every day I read a thread in Hats or General Attire (the primary two I peruse) that contains elements of sharp sarcasm broaching on hostility both from members and Bartenders. What's going...
