    Coat of Arms or Family Crests

    Hi all! Long time, no post! I was wondering if anyone here has a family crest. Sorry if this has been covered before. I found some posts that talked about wax seals and jewelery. But, doing a search for "coat" and "arms" is like looking for the word "hat" on this forum. Some background...

    Idea: Fedora Lounge Podcast

    Hey, I was just wondering if anyone has thought about doing a podcast talking about the stuff we talk about here. There's no way we could cover everything. However, it would be great to talk about hats, suits and more in something like a 30 min weekly program. Naturally, this would need...

    Vegas adVice

    So, for those of you who may or may not know, I have decided to tie the knot. Angela and I have been dating for 3+ years and I figured it was time (she figured it was time...many months ago...) Anyway, we are going to do the Vegas wedding (no Elvis) simply because Vegas is an equal distant...

    So, you are going out on the weekend and want to know what to wear..... Taken from Gentleman's Guide to Grooming and Style In the 1980s there was a series on television based on the memoirs of the English country vet known as James Herriot. It was not only worth watching for the stories...

    With all the cold weather, does anyone have anything special in the way of gloves? Other than the Well & Lamont Indy gloves, I have a modest pair of brown and black gloves from Wilson's Leather. I know back in the eighteenth or ninteenth century is would have been impolite to...

    The Story of the Waxed Jacket

    This Christmas I was fortunate enough to acquire a Barbour Beaufort Jacket. The Barbour is considered to be the world's finest in outdoor clothing. "It offers an ideal combination of properties for active outdoor use that no synthetic material can match, and a rugged durability, tested...

    Slippers

    Here's a repost of the slipper thread. I'll wear a pair of slippers in the evening. The pair I currently own are from L. B. Evans. Most welted shoe makers offer slippers but I haven't seen any from Alden. The range of materials can be from leather to velvet and sometimes...

    Smoking Jackets

    I was wondering if anyone knew of a place to get a smoking jacket. Most all the searches turn up costumes. Is there a difference in say a sports coat and a smoking jacket? I guess velvet smoking jackets are more formal. I was watching Mr. Blandings Builds his dreamhouse today and...

    Loony Tunes and Merrie Melodies

    I just finished watching the Looney Tunes - The Golden Collection on DVD. It is amazing the talent, style, creativity and humor the artists had back in the 30's and 40's. The DVD chronicles the major Warner Brothers characters realization and origin and just how American they are. One of...

    Bogart Hat pics - Bullets or Ballots (1936)

    I caught a movie on TV the other night called Bullets or Ballots (1936) staring Edward G. Robinson & Bogart. I was really impressed with the hats they wore. Really nice items. Tall, untapered crowns and wide brims. The supporting cast had some great hats...

    Does anyone wear/own a bowler hat?

    Caught the Thomas Crown Affair on TV (the Pierce Brosnan (sp)version) on TV and was wondering if anyone wears one. I never have. However, I am curious to see what it looks like on me. Pyro.
