Lucky Tiger Discontinued my Hair Tonic!
Haven't posted here for a while, but I need a recommendation for a hair tonic. I use Lay Rite or Murray's for a heavier setting, but my daily go-to was a light weight hair tonic by Lucky Tiger. I know it as the 'purple one'. I can't find the name of it. I might have been 3 Roses, but it...- griffer

Nifty Tool for Difficult to Shop for People
I am sure you are all aware of wish lists like Amazon.com's. Great for picky people and far away relatives, but what if your tastes don't show up on Amazon? Well, I was thinking about developing a site to solve that problem, when I found someone had already beaten me to the punch...- griffer

Zirbenschnaps
Five years ago my wife and I spent a week of our honeymoon in the Styria (Steiermark) region of Austria in a little town called Grundlsee. While we were there we, enchanted by the locals and adopted by the one open restaurant, they plied us with their local moonshine, Zirbenschaps. I...- griffer

Rick Deckard Costume, more than just a coat
First off, this is a costume thread about a future noir character- it is only tangentially related to this forum, and I will understand if other loungers feel it isn't appropriate. So, I started a thread for my wife's half of the costume in the Powder Room, so I thought I'd start one here for...- griffer

Rachel the Replicant Costume & Dresses
First, I appreciate the forbearance of the Powder Room. I swear I cleaned the mud of my boots before I tromped in here. :p ******************** My wife and I have a very special place in our hearts for Halloween and fall. We are both October babies, and our anniversary is Halloween...- griffer

Popularity Breeds Contempt
I have noticed that as much as I have wanted a seersucker the last 6 or so years, the faddish resurgence has put me off. Has anyone else had this experience? I personally waited until I felt I could 'pull it off', and until my wife stopped wrinkling her nose at the merest hint of a...- griffer

From Florida, Notes from the Road
My wife and I spent the last several days down in Flroida visiting family and an old friend. While there, we spent some time in St. Augustine. Very cute, historic town, albeit a tourist town. While strolling, I ditched the wife and in-laws (with permission), to explore a hat store. I... -
A fine kettle I've gotten myself into...
Baron Kurtz mentioned putting the kettle on in another thread. That and my recent cold reminded me how much I HATE my kettle. Three observations about my kettle: -It doesn't whistle. -The handle, despite apparent insulation, gets really hot. -It is impossible to pour with the steam...- griffer

Help! I need an Island hat...
I am not really the island sort of guy, but it turns out I will be in the Bahamas at the end of this month. :) I have this hat, but with a dark brown band. My wife is not a fan of pork pies, though, but she likes my stingies and my fedora. I am looking for recommendations for a nice... -
Steam Punk Music?
I love the alternative aesthetic of 'steam punk'. Link for more on the aesthetic. Some music makes an overt attempt not just to sound old, but to reach both back and forward at the same time. Lots of this is gimmicky and contrived, but it makes me smile. The little gems out there are usually...- griffer

Shhhhhhhhhh! I am trying to watch the MOVIE!
Cut out of another thread... I have been advocating for a 'film aficionado' club for a while. There films I want to see in the multi-plex, but only with adults (read over 21). I actually think theaters could make a premium club out of it. I would actually pay for an annual pass plus the cost...- griffer

Stetson Fedora
Halo! I joined this forum to learn more about vintage hats. I have a background in theater and costume design specifically, but I have been a corporate/financial guy for the last 12+ years. To help with the boredom of corporatism, I have cultivated a retro look that takes parts from...
