    What's the best way to keep up with Fedora Lounge posts?

    This may seem like a silly question... And quite honestly makes me feel old to ask. Where's my teenage niece when I need her? How do you interface with the Fedora Lounge? I tried pulling it up on my phone to check the forums I follow periodically, but I was missing a lot. Now, I keep my...

    http://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod1730049&categoryId=search I don't recall seeing anyone ordering their Aeros unlined. Thoughts?

    Disappointing try at an "inexpensive" jacket

    First, let me apologize for not posting pictures of me wearing the jacket, but I boxed it up and shipped it back almost immediately. The following pictures are from the website. Between a promotional discount and a coupon, I was able to order this jacket for $270 including shipping from...

    For your consideration:

    The Colonel Littleton No. 4 Trail Jacket, $550 http://www.colonellittleton.com/index.php?p=products&f=prod&cat=96&id=cltj It's not horsehide (in fact, it's "washed sheepskin"), and for that reason looks lightweight and comfortable. As a reproduction, what are your...

    Missed Mangle (and a couple other random finds)

    Hey everybody! I just got back from an estate sale. What a story! I was at an estate on the river here in Lansing. The home was owned by a prominent builder in the area, and by my best guess, built in the 60's. The workmanship on the home was impressive, and just about everything was...

    Another eBay find... That I didn't buy.

    I was pondering the purchase of this eBay vintage jacket. The reason I DIDN'T buy it was because the sleeves were too short. After looking at the final sale price, I don't feel too bad. I'm saving up for an Aero, so any other random purchases will delay my goal. Still, it was a nice looking...

    Aero on eBay: Do these measurements seem right?

    There's a size 40 vintage FQHH long half belt for sale on eBay: The Listing The listed measurements are: shoulders 19.5", armpits 24", sleeve 27", length 29.5" I've double checked the measurements on my other size 40 jackets, and this seems a bit on the big side, especially the 24"...

    Help me find a light fixture...

    I'm restoring a 1927 Tudor, and I'm always in search for the perfect lighting fixture. I saw this one on "The Big Bang Theory." It's white milk glass in almost a tear-drop shape, with a cinched bronze band. If you know where I can find a similar one, please let me know! If you...

    And the winner is...

    I just won this on eBay. It's no Aero, but I'm excited nonetheless. Here are pictures from the seller: Any info on the jacket would be helpful (I'm no expert, that's for sure). I'll be certain to post pictures of the jacket being worn as soon as it arrives! :p

    Seeking the Perfect Leather Book Cover

    Does anyone have a good source for custom leather accessories? Actually, it doesn't even have to be custom, but here's what I'm looking for: A heavy-weight cowhide (bridle leather?) slip cover for a month-by-month calendar. It wouldn't be complicated to make... But a single piece of leather...

    How many Aeros does a guy need, and where does he put them?

    I've been enjoying posts on all the new Aero FQHH jackets that have been arriving recently, and I'm plotting my own purchase. I've already started a small collection of leather jackets, and I have a couple of questions for those of you with multiple jackets: How many do you have? How often do...

    Reviving Detroit

    I'm so glad I stumbled upon this website... Full of people who love things from the Golden Era! The city of Detroit has such a rich history, it would be a shame to raze everything and start over (I'm still hoping and praying Michigan Central will be spared, even though there are plans to...
