    Fresh fashion follies of Fedora Loungers?

    When a subculture is born one of the first, and possibly only, major differences that come about between it and the rest of society is of course the style of dress its followers adopt. Often the group will take elements of existing styles of dress and put their own spin on them. This can...

    Hats off to a good Haircut!

    Hello all, after some unfortunate technological mishaps I'm back. For my last couple of haircuts I've been scouting around and trying new places, I've seen talk of barbers here and I thought I'd relate to you all my experience today. I decided to try a place in a little alleyway in town...

    Improving Communities: What do you do?

    Most of us would probably claim that there is no sense of community where they live, not like that which was enjoyed in the Golden Era. I would be one of them. But do you do anything to try and improve things? (This is not a jab anyone)

    Sizing Help

    Hello Gents, I’ve got a question about jacket sizing. Right now a good fit for me would be about a size 36. I'm hoping to work up to about a size 39 - 40 some time in the "near" future. I'd like to get a leather jacket sooner, probably the 1930's Halfbelt Slim Fit from Aero. I don't have...

    Jericho

    "After a nuclear disaster caused by several terrorist attacks destroys most of America, residents of a small Kansas town must come to terms with a new and very different reality." Is anyone watching this TV show? I thought it was quite interesting that they decided to broadcast for the first...

    Funeral wear

    I'm curious to know what loungers would wear to a funeral. One reason being I wonder if there are any rules or traditions I've not heard of that may apply now or have applied in the Golden Era. The other would be it might be seen as disrespectful to some to dress a certain way at a...

    Emo? No, I'm Vintage.

    I've been seeing a lot of stuff on the bay being labeled as "Emo". I was wondering; have any of you been associated with the youth cult by others for wearing Golden Era clothing? Now if I like something, I'll wear it in spite of what others think. But I have to admit it; I'd rather not be...

    A careless acquisition

    I thought I'd relate to you the details about my latest hat purchase. Late one night, or more accurately, early one morning I was using a certain auction site while in a state of fatigue. I had many hats on my watch list and decided to bid on one. I carelessly clicked through accepting pages...

    Gunther Von Hagens

    Through chance I caught part of an interesting television program just now called "Anatomy for Beginners". It is hosted by a man called Gunther Von Hagens who enjoys wearing a fedora. You may or may not have heard of him, his work is quite controversial. I was wondering what the Lounge thinks...

    Perfect Panama Grade for Summer?

    Hello. I was thinking of getting myself a Panama of some sort for the hotter months, but was unsure of what grade to buy. I've heard it mentioned that the better grades often don't breathe aswell as the others, but I'm not sure how keen I'd be to go with the cheapest either. What would...

    Less than I expected...

    Well I've recently enrolled in a little business course in town. So I've had my first couple of opportunities to wear my Akubra Bogart out and about. (I’ve had it for a while now, will post pics when I get hold of a camera.) I really did expect to be receiving a lot more flak about it...

    Akubra Bogart

    Hello all. I'm planning to order an Akubra this week and I was thinking I'd like the Bogart. Not bad to look at in my opinion and it's one of the cheaper ones on HatsDirect. As this would be my "starter" Fedora I more or less want to go with the cheapest option that still gives me an okay...

    Custom Gloves

    Hello all. I was just wondering, could any of you recommend a good place online to get custom made leather gloves? With it being so cold here right now I wouldn't mind a pair and with my hands the term "fits like a glove" means something entirely different. Store bought never fit me right.
