    Western Bad Guys

    Turn up One where the bad guy isn't who you think: a nice little film http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073559/

    So what is the Fedora Lounge all about?

    my two-bob's worth I don't think it's changed that much since I joined, and the show-and-tell aspect of it is fun: you learn from just looking, about prices styles etc etc, and there is the added bonus of like minded people (to some extent, I've balked at some political opinions aired here a...

    The Great Beer Thread

    belge bilge I played a gig recently at a Belgian Beer place, and quite frankly, wasn't impressed, I would back our South Australian beer COOPER'S over any on tap there, and would rate Schofferhoffer or Erdinger way above them, a matter of taste I suppose, but that's what I found lacking in the...

    Dissapointment

    HFC Akubras reflect the culture that spawned them, they are tough and not too flash, and in this country a 'town' hat is still expected to be fairly durable. Akubra made Stetsons here for many years, and they were a bit more dressy, but still that durability in all conditions was a part of the...

    VW BUG type 1

    Got the bug I recently bought a 1989 T3 transporter, or 2gen Kombi I suppose, off an old californian surfer, because it had NO RUST, all the Japanese vans I looked at were showing rust even though some were only 5-6 years old. Echtes Deutsche Stahl, mein freund! It is a bit like driving a...

    Zen and the art of Hawaiian shirt maintenance

    I'm in the process of restoring a Kamehameha I just got, and need to source some bamboo buttons, ( those in the know will know) as the pressed metal ones that are on it now, although fine, don't match the loop button. Anybody out there up for some swaps or whatever?

    1930s Israel

    Territorialism? I would have to argue that it is a religious conflict, the reason Ashkenazi Jews began to settle in Palestine in the late 19th C was to escape pogroms in Russia and Poland, but the basis for them going there specifically, and not to later options that appeared like Stalin's...

    In the swim

    I'll spare you all a photo of these being worn, but what a score, they fit perfectly, I've never seen a pair come up on ebay since it started, and never found any at markets or whatever in over 20 years! This is the real deal for acceptable vintage beachwear in my book...

    Flattered Wah thank ya mam, I also forgot to mention that I once met Charlton Heston, man was he tall, polite as well, and he had no minders and all that crap they need these days.

    This is what the Lounge is all about

    Here's me in my Whippet, acquired in a swap with my good buddy Hollis (M JONES), for the large size Stetsons I found on my recent outback sojourn. The other hat is a cracker as well, but I haven't yet got a photo of the right outfit for it yet. Now I know why I always got cast as a cop when I...

    Why bother with a suit jacket

    1930s Israel

    Probably not. It's unlikely wherever superstitions clash, the Buddhists and Hindus in Sri Lanka have been fighting for over 2000 years. The Serbs are still seething over a battle with the Muslims 600 years ago etc etc etc.

    1930s Israel

    state? At the risk of being a historical pedant, wasn't it called Palestine back then? Or more accurately, the British Mandate thereof?

    The Ghost of RM

    A tale of two cities I just did a few gigs in melbourne, not having set foot there for at least 7 years, and not played there for 30. It's got a much better vibe than Sydney these days...I put it down to the public transport working, so everybody isn't as frazzled. I couldn't wait to get out...

    The Ghost of RM

    I'm now convinced the ghost of RM Williams himself walks beside me, yesterday I picked up my third pair of RMW Craftsman boots, exactly my size and freshly soled and heeled, for $6, making it a hat trick in the last 6 months or so for a total cost of less than $A40. They'll see me out I think....
