    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I should probably stop replying like this because this is getting more and more off-topic, but yeah, all the shaping stuff was modifications. It was pretty boxy to start with, but the felt is beautiful and I'm a big fan of the colour/height. My first fedora was a Jaxon though, as it happens...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Thanks for that! I was actually recommended that book recently, oddly enough. I suppose I really better get onto that. The hat's made here in the UK by Christys'. Out of the box it had a really wide front, which isn't something I think looks very nice on a fedora (and, furthermore, made it...

    Teenage Photos of YOU - If You Dare!

    One from 2008 (aged 17) and one from today (21):

    Show us your suits

    First & only suit: Pretty sure the sleeves and legs are overlong; would really prefer there to be cuffs on the latter to give 'em some weight, since they're pretty light (you can see here they're pretty creased after being on for a few hours). It ain't much, but y'know... I'm a student ;_;

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Casablanca, actually. 70th Anniversary screening at my local indie cinema. Excellent, of course. My attire for the evening: (The hat is actually named after Bogart, though it looked decidedly un-Bogart with the factory crease... so I tweaked it.)

    Fedoras & facial hair: are they mortal enemies?

    You totally could! Didn't you see Face/Off? You just run the risk of turning into John Travolta. Or something. I wasn't really paying attention. Also, that is pretty much precisely the sort of beardage I desire. I think mine's too chaotic at short lengths to sit so neatly, though. Hope not...

    Fedoras & facial hair: are they mortal enemies?

    ... I approve.

    Fedoras & facial hair: are they mortal enemies?

    Got a good laugh out of that. Excellent.

    Fedoras & facial hair: are they mortal enemies?

    Yeah, those are both things I'm doing now. What I mean, mainly, is: * I have a lot of blond/white hairs that are slightly jarring; not fluffy or anything, hard like the dark hair (I've always had this) * Unless it's properly long, it seems to grow at any old angle, so I get crazy spikes all...

    Fedoras & facial hair: are they mortal enemies?

    Precisely. My concern is how, specifically, to do that.

    What are you listening to?

    "Trambone" by Duane Eddy (although it's a Chet Atkins cover). Gotta love a bit of the ol' twang.

    Fedoras & facial hair: are they mortal enemies?

    You're right, I'm 21. I've heard similar stories from a few folk w.r.t. the bumfluff vs. manbeard thing. I actually don't seem to have a huge amount of difficulty with the thickness, but I have this continuing issue with white/blond hairs in amongst the dark. I'm not sure, but I suspect it's...

    Fedoras & facial hair: are they mortal enemies?

    Ah, yes, I only spotted that after I'd posted. Didn't think to check in the hat section originally because I was thinking of it more in terms of the beardage, hence thought it belonged elsewhere. Apologies!

    Fedoras & facial hair: are they mortal enemies?

    Maybe you have, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks about these things. I'm thinking full beard, kept as tidy as possible. Suppose I'll see how it goes for a while and scrap it if I just look stereotypically homeless/drunk... Thanks for the info!

    Fedoras & facial hair: are they mortal enemies?

    Sage words, sir. Sage words. It's nice to hear a more reasonable attitude towards it than "NEVER WEAR A FEDORA SERIOUSLY WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING".

    Fedoras & facial hair: are they mortal enemies?

    I recently posted a version of this question on Reddit, only to be bombarded with people ignoring my question and only insisting that I shouldn't ever wear a fedora because they are terrible, always. Obviously, I refuse to accept this. I've had nothing but positive feedback from those who have...
