    Service Caps

    Hiya gang, Been a while since I've been here, but it's the place to comr for hat questions, right? I'm looking for a company that manufactures service hats - gas station, milkman, etc - like those in the link below. http://www.liveauctioneers.com/catalog/2339/page1 Thanks and kind...

    Celebrities Who Like What We Like

    Though I know Depp leans toward fedoras, I'm trying to put together a list of actors, directors, writers, and whatnot who have more than a passing interest in mid-century culture. If there's an article related to that about them on the web, a link would be great. Kind regards, Jack

    Crime at the U.N.

    In other news, last night I saw my friend who works at the U.N. He says they're completely gutting the place and afraid he's going to go back to an office completely devoid of any mid-century style. Here's the link to the story. http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=26559&Cr=CMP&Cr1

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    At a writing forum, I was trying to explain about this kooky subculture of ours but was hard-pressed for one good word to describe it. If you say someone's a 'biker', at least it evinces the stereotypical image of a fat, tatted guy drinking Bud on a Hog, but there's no word that fully evinces...

    NYC/Montreal Apartment Swap - June

    Being my apartment is completely mid-century vintage (some of you might have seen pics of it around the Lounge), I can't think of a better place to find someone who might want to look after it for a few days in June. The catch is, though, I'm looking for an apartment swap in Montreal. This...

    Seven Year Itch - 57 Years Today

    Well, I finally got this article about the history of The Seven Year Itch up - the original Broadway production, that is, which premiered on 11/20/1952. Thought a few Loungers might be interested in it as I uncovered a few things in my investigation: one, who the character of The Girl was based...

    Kingston '66 - A Different Kind of Haberdashery

    When I first thought about opening a shop in New York about ten years ago, the name was going to be Kingston '66, so it's natural that I went back to my roots and reclaimed it. I've been working on the site all week, and though there are a few wrinkles to iron out, it's the best I could do in a...

    McCartney's 3-Piece and the 2nd death of the 3-button

    Certainly, another one of my threads that isn't for everyone. Some may find it interesting, though, and want to use for reference. These caps are from the newly restored version of Help. Paul was suited with an interesting combo - high gorge three (or possibly four) button with vest...

    And You Wonder Why I'm a Cynic...

    A good samaritan helped me out today. I was having trouble with the Mustang - the thermostat housing had started to leak - and I had to limp home a few blocks at a time. After another coffee light, I pulled up in front of a hydrant with the engine smoking and with the hood up and my head in...

    Recycled Threads - Okay, I'm a jerk

    I don't know why I'm particularly bothered by recycled threads. I guess they make me feel like I've walked into a picture ten minutes after it started and then I waited around for the picture to start again so I can catch the beginning. Oh, this is where I came in, I can go now. The search...

    Establishing Shot - NYC

    We know the camera loves the NY skyline - how golden era many films open with that establishing shot of it from the Queens side of the East River? You know, 'cue the grand piano and pan to the Empire State Building.' There are also the aerial shots from helicopter - the ones that usually come...

    Poll - Powder Blue Leisure Suit

    Feraud took this pic of me at Starstruck, a vintage shop here in NY. We have it posted in the Steamer Trunk, but I thought with the interest shown in the Lime Green Trousers thread, I'd run it again here in suits. I have to admit, having grown up in the 70s, I never liked the leisure suit...

    Crosshatch Material - Proper Name?
