    If Charlie Parker Was a Gunslinger

    I have not seen this blog mentioned on the lounge, but with their daily posting of pictures and stories of famous people from the 1940's-60's it is a must see for fans of The Golden Era. If Charlie Parker Was a Gunslinger, There'd Be a Whole Lot of Dead Copycats An Ongoing Series of Cultural...

    I was surfing around today and ran across a web sale advertising a Harris Tweed sportcoat for $198.00 I have no experience with this company, so I can not vouch for them but at that price I thought the Lounge would need to know.

    Splayds!

    You Loungers from Down Under probably know all about Splayds, but it was a revelation to me. I picked these up on eBay last week: Invented in Australia in the late 1940's Splayds are still sold new although the design appears to have been changed slightly. I think that these are from...

    Variety is reporting that there is a new Doc Savage movie in development. This coupled with the recent pulp reprints and upcoming DC Comics series show a serious upswing of interest in the character. Let's hope Doc fares better in the 2010s than he has in comics and movies in the past.

    Hey all, I was watching Dark City again this weekend and was very impressed by the hat worn by William Hurt's character "Inspector Bumstead". /hotlink It looks like a wider brimmed Akubra Federation (maybe 3 in?), which considering that the movie was filmed in Australia would not be...

    Burlap Trilbey!?!

    I stopped into my favorite coffee shop this week (Trabant coffee & chai, where the 16oz latte always has 4 shots :) ) and the barista was wearing this very cool burlap trilby. I asked if I could grab some pics and post them: It was obviously made from a packing sack. It has parts the...

    Who gets the Hat?

    Defending your Hat

    Has your hat ever got you into a fight? I'm walking down the street yesterday when I see two guys and and girl walking my way, laughing, shouting, and doing what two guys and girl do. They were in their early 20's at the most and the way they were acting were probably in the "Big City" for a...

    Advice Needed: Looking for a Suit

    Hey all, So, after watching Noir movies for a week at the Seattle Noir City festival, I'm more anxious than ever to get a vintage styled suit. I really want something in a late 40's style, but not necessarily a double-breasted, peak lapel, business outfit. I want something more working class...

    Long Oval Hat Stretcher

    I've been looking through the archives, but I can't seem to find the specific answer I'm looking for. I have always worn size 7 3/8 and 7 1/2 hats, but recently I picked up a true 7 1/2 Long Oval (thanks johnnyphi!) and it fit me better than any hat I have ever worn. Looks like I'm one of the...
