    Greetings to old friends and a hope to make new ones.

    I have returned to the Fedora Lounge after a long lapse. I look forward both to renewing old friendships and making new ones. For what it is worth, my interests had lead me to Steampunk, which lead to Dieselpunk. That naturally has led me back to the Fedora Lounge. Anyhow, here I am. A bit...

    Bill's Khakis: M1 vs. M2

    What exactly is the difference between M1 and M2 for Bill's Khaki's? Does it matter? I am 5' 9" and now weigh 158 lbs. I used to weigh 173 lbs. and therefore might regain that weight. That means I now can fit into a 34" inch waist, used to fit only into a 36" waist, and would be...
