    Just Arrived: Akubra Squatter in Willow Green

    These are fresh out-of-the-box photos - I haven't touched the shape or anything else, mainly because I'm still thinking about what I want to do. Thought I'd share some shots. Disappointed by the news that the Bluegrass Green Campdraft is no more, Hats Direct pointed me towards the Squatter in...

    Magnoli Clothiers Marrakesh Suit

    Finally getting a chance to post a couple of photos of my dark brown Marrakesh suit that our Mr. Magnoli made for me a while back:

    Hart, Schaffner, and Marx Gold Trumpeter blue plaid sport jacket

    Grabbed it off eBay - a nice Hart, Schaffner, and Marx blue plaid Gold Trumpeter number. Seemed pretty nifty. What say you all? (quickie shot, so forgive lack of tie, etc.) Closeup of the pattern:

    J. Peterman sport jacket (English shooting jacket)

    Found via eBay, and forgot to post about it. I've no idea which particular Peterman item this is, nor do I have any real information on it. Certainly stands out. Has a total of eight pockets - three inside, five outside. Fits very well. Three button. Single vent. Has some form of action...

    Fireworks!

    How'd it all go for those of you with fireworks displays, amateur or pro? Here, we have our downtown fireworks display put on by the Fort Worth Cats minor-league baseball team. They shoot them off from their home of LaGrave Field, the classic ballpark just across the Trinity River from...

    It's here - Akubra Campdraft (Sand)

    Finally! My new Akubra Campdraft, size 63 (7 7/8) in Sand, has arrived! I ordered it from the always fantastic folks at Hats Direct in Katoomba a few months ago, but there were none in this size and color, so it had to be made. After finally getting it today, I have to say it was worth the...

    J. Peterman Spanish-style Linen Jacket

    Picked this up off eBay for a lot less than it sold for new, and it came today. It's rather nifty, if I do say so myself. This is a J. Peterman striped linen jacket, single vent, three button. I was nervous from the photo that it was going to be really over-the-top, but I actually like it...

    Screenshotapalooza: "Sleepers West"

    After being available only as, essentially, bootlegs for a long time, Fox has finally officially released some of the classic cult favorite Michael Shayne detective movies of the '40s to real DVD. They've even digitally restored them, and they're a dramatic improvement over my bootleg DVD-Rs...

    Golden Era Architecture Photos by Atomic Glee

    I take a lot of photos. Way too many, perhaps, but it's my thing. My passion is architecture photography. I, of course, am also a Golden Era geek, so putting these two together is a natural thing. I thought I'd share with the Lounge some photos of Golden Era architecture (and a few Golden...

    Vintage 1945 lipstick ad...with lipstick!

    Ladies, forgive my intrusion, but my girlfriend won this on eBay and I knew you fine folks would appreciate it. This is a 1945 lipstick ad featuring a favorite '40s actress of ours, Mary Beth Hughes, a sadly forgotten b-movie star of the time. I know it's from '45, because the movie noted in...

    Texas & Pacific Lofts - living in an Art Deco train station

    Went on today's home tour here in downtown Fort Worth, and finally got to see what I've been very anxious to check out - the Texas & Pacific Lofts, a residential redevelopment of a landmark 1931 Art Deco train station on the south end of downtown. The building's been cleaned up and restored...

    State Fair - '30s Style

    Went to the Texas State Fair today, which is held in Fair Park in Dallas, the site of the Texas Centennial in 1936. Fair Park is a virtually completely preserved, massive Art Deco complex, and a paradise for Art Deco fans. Here are some random shots I took today - it really feels like stepping...

    Golden Era Post Offices

    Yes, a bit of an odd thread perhaps, but still might be nifty. As some of you who know me already know, I'm an architecture geek, especially Golden Era architecture - the Art Deco, Moderne, and other styles popular in this era. One of the types of buildings that often got amazing examples of...

    New Grey Akubra Federation

    That's right - now, a nice shiny new (well, not *shiny* new) Carbon Grey Federation has joined my collection. Here are a few pics, right out of the box. The first was with the flash - the second and third are closer to the actual color: The first thing I've noticed is that the Carbon...

    Golden Era screen shots

    Working on organizing the collection of '30s, '40s, and '50s short films I have on my computer, and thought I'd share a few shots from them with the lounge - shots that show off clothing, styles, and the general environment. I think these shorts are a good way of seeing the average day-to-day...

    Quick hat pics, via Photo Booth

    Just wanted to share pics of *both* my hats - realized when I posted shots from my loft that I'd shared my Federation, but not my Panama...so, here they are, taken via Apple Photo Booth and the built-in iSight camera on my MacBook Pro: My Christy's Panama, which I've recently re-shaped. When...

    I need a vintage makeover

    Alright, folks. It's official - the vintage style bug has bitten me. Thought it was just going to stay a hat thing, but there's no fighting it any more. Thing is, I've never been what you'd call a sharp dresser. I don't know what it is, but I always get the feeling that there's something off...

    My New Federation

    Well, I got my new Akubra Federation , and set about bashing it. I wasn't going for an "Indy" look, just a nice, classic fedora. Don't know how close I came, but for my first time, I don't think I did too badly in bashing it. What do y'all think? Note: the flash, it seems, exaggerated the...
