What are you Writing?
My old issues of Antiques magazine are full of Colonial era furniture, silver (teapots, spoons) brass (candlesticks), knife boxes, and Chinese export porcelain, all of it pre 1820 or so. Mostly 17th and 18th century items.- scotrace

Three 20th Century Women's Fashion Game Changers
By Scott Daniels The 20th century saw dramatic changes in fashion for women. Rereading that sentence, “dramatic” feels like too silly a word to use; comparing a dress from 1900 to one of the 1960s feels much more like witnessing the arrival of an entirely new species. Along the way... -

Show us your vintage home!
I'm packing and moving from my 1920's Craftsman to an all new place with one fewer bedroom and no basement. It's much nicer--everything works! (and will actually save money to live there) But getting rid of stuff quickly is pretty sad. I'm selling off furniture at token prices and earmarking...- scotrace

Five Fabulous Vintage Pinups to Follow on Instagram
By Scott Daniels Rockabilly—Goth—Vintage—Burlesque--Pinup. It’s a path we’ve heard outlined many times over in The Fedora Lounge forums. The 21st century explosion of mid-20th century pinup style can easily be seen via several social media platforms, most notably Instagram. The sheer effort... -

You Tube Guy Eats Actual WWII Army Rations
I thought anti-elderly packaging was a relatively modern development. This guy needs a pocketknife to get into the box. Serious sealing. -
The Fedora Lounge 4.0
You're only seeing minor tweaks at this point. What is coming is a major redo, which as of this writing isn't yet visible. I've seen it and like it very much. Easy functionality, and you can quickly change viewing prefs. Hadley, I'm not sure what you don't like, as they changes haven't dropped...- scotrace

A Tour of the National Museum of the United States Air Force
By Scott Daniels It was a matter of perfect timing: I found myself in Dayton, Ohio, with an unscheduled morning ahead, and I’d just finished up my copy of David McCullough’s The Wright Brothers. It’s a book in keeping with the rest of this author’s extraordinary work, telling the story of the... -

Two Toes in the Water: Handkerchiefs and Cufflinks
By Scott Daniels For many men, putting together a full vintage (or vintage inspired) suit and tie combination can be a challenge ringed with pitfalls, traps, and dead ends. In the best of circumstances, you’re a gentleman of medium height or a bit shorter, with a trim build, flat stomach... -
Vintage as Investment?
By Scott Daniels Anyone with a collection of anything, be it baseball cards, record albums, autographs of the famous or vintage neckties, will eventually find themselves looking around at their treasures and running numbers in their head. And in many collecting fields, those numbers aren’t... -

What Are You Reading
I tried it several times and couldn't get past about three chapters. Gaiman is a magnificent writer, but I never like his stories, save for Coraline. I'm halfway through Disobedience, by Naomi Alderman. A same sex relationship tucked into a super conservative Orthodox Jewish community in...- scotrace

Changes in Attitude in Marriage & Divorce from the Golden Era to Now.
We learn, over time, to recognize what isn't working in a relationship, and get a pretty good handle on what can be fixed and what is just a matter of points of incompatibility that can't be fixed. Big lessons for me. And then you find yourself in a relationship that really works, and with a...- scotrace

What are you Writing?
I love reading about everyone's work here! My weekly column has been published in four regional newspapers for the past several years, along with several features each week. I know it's old hat to say, but very true: the more you write, the easier it becomes. I used to struggle with column...- scotrace

"Vintage-style Boxer Shorts... any interest"
Yes, the tie and button setup would be more authentic, but also more difficult to size, more difficult to wear, and problematic to launder (The strings kept pulling out of the ones I gave up on wearing ages ago). This proposes a nice compromise.- scotrace
