    Ray Milland's Suit in The Big Clock (1948)

    I thoroughly enjoyed the 1948 film noir thriller The Big Clock on Turner Classic Movies last night. Lots of great suits (and hats). Ray Milland stars as George Stroud, a NYC crime magazine editor who is framed for a murder by his tyrannical publishing boss, Earl Janoth (Charles Laughton)...

    Great jacket; horrid fit.

    I've always fancied these boating/regatta blazers from the UK. It would be fun to wear one to lake/ocean events here in the US, and this one's connection to Patrick McGoohan's jacket in the classic series The Prisoner makes it even more attractive. But *yucky*OMG*yucky* look at the horrid fit...

    Bob Hope's Porkpie

    I was watching an obscure Bob Hope movie, Nothing But the Truth, on AMC a few nights ago. In his opening scene, Bob is wearing a classic '50s stingy snap brim, rough straw, pork pie fedora much like this one: But wait, this movie was made in 1941. What is Bob doing wearing a '50s hat in a...

    Compliments from the ladies

    Surely all of us are pleased when we receive spontaneous compliments from the ladies on the occasions when we are on the strand in our finest vintage attire. I'm curious to know the words the ladies choose when they kindly offer you their compliments. From the options presented, select the...

    This mp3 is a very entertaining essay by Todd McEwen, entitled Cary Grant's Suit, read by James Cromwell on the Public Radio International program Selected Shorts. It is about 25 min. long, so sit back and enjoy as you browse The Fedora Lounge.

    $99 MTM Linen Suit. Could this be true?

    This place is offering made-to-measure linen suits for only $99. You can even get surgeons cuffs and a ticket pocket at no extra charge. Seems just too good to be true. Anyone had experience with this outfit?

    Show us your seersucker.

    Quite a few of us have seersucker suits that we enjoy wearing in the warm weather. Here is mine; lets see yours. I'm going for a classic look here; one not restricted to a narrow period in fashion history. The seersucker suit is said to have been created by New Orleans clothier Joseph...

    My "Public Enemies" outfit

    This is what I wore last week to the Premier and VIP reception at the Madison (WI) Hilton for Public Enemies. I decided to photoshop the pics into B&W photos; gives them a vintage look.

    Aviator's Canvas Flight Jacket by Orvis

    I kind of like the style of this Aviator's Canvas Flight Jacket by Orvis. Orvis claims the jacket is an authentic summer military flight jacket, "with some refinements." Here is Orvis' description: The military has always insisted on the best, most comfortable flight clothing for their...

    Fantastic Bargain!

    I just bought one of these http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/154,1163A_Stetson-Andes-Hat-For-Men.html at Sierra Trading Post. The price ($17.95) is hard to beat. I'm thinking I'll wear it where most people (not me) would wear a ball cap, e.g., with shorts. It might turn out to be a good...

    HELP! Moths attacked my long-hair!

    I have a long-hair cowboy hat that I got very cheap on eBay. The color is a beautiful slate gray and the "hair" is quite long, over 5mm, so it has a very soft appearance and a very luxurious hand to it. My plan was to convert it into a fedora by trimming the brim and re-blocking the cattleman...

    A must for your collection

    I used to love Roy Rogers when I was a kid, watched everything he did in film, on TV, and in comic books; but the Roy Rogers Quick Shooter Hat is a new one on me. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9eMjtnAZ3g

    This hat recently sold on OFAS. Do you suppose this could possibly be an authentic Spanish American war campaign hat? Deanglen, you are the FL resident expert on this genre, what do you think?

    Suspenders and a belt?

    Yes, I know this has been discussed previously on the FL; but only in connection with dress attire. What about 'working' attire for outdoor and adventure? I watched The Searchers last night and was intrigued to see that John Wayne wore suspenders and a belt in his role as Ethan Edwards...

    Allay my fears

    I have done quite a lot of tinkering with my hats e.g., stretching to a larger size (I have a stretcher), re-blocking the crown (I have a hat block), replacing the ribbon, trimming the brim and re-setting it (I have a ring mold). On the FL, I read about the great success my colleagues have...
