    Looking for a good milliner

    Even though this is a hat question I thought it would be best to post over here. I'm looking for a milliner, preferably in the Chicago area, who does custom work with felt hats. Do you ladies have any suggestions?

    Ladies, how do you select a hat?

    why do you think it takes so long to shop? there is usually no regularity of size and the amount of styles can be daunting or even bordering on ridiculous. Personally I prefer a mens' styles, but I do have some nice ladies' cloche hats and unisex hats that I've really just stumbled upon. Thats...

    Ebay Glossary

    i particularly love how every "fedora" hat absolutely needs to carry the words "pimp" "gangster" "blues brothers" and/or "indiana jones" in the subject line. [huh] It would be great if that line was used for more useful descriptions!

    Additional Forums?

    I would love a forum about music from the golden era-jazz, big band, swing and everything in between! And we should not sell classical music short either. I also love the literature and art forum suggestion. And the goings on about town idea too!
