    You gotta love that name. Makes me imagine ... Which hat today?

    Vintage Phones

    :eek: I didn't know that! Explains a lot. BTW, the folks at the Classic Rotary Phones forum are recommending the AE 50. Certainly an attractive wall phone and it turns out to have good sound. My personal preference is for an earlier look than that- fewer angles, more fluid curves. But it's...

    Vintage Phones

    Thanks. I've always found the 354 a bit dull, aesthetically. Having looked around a bit, I am finding LizzieMaine's price estimates to be more realistic. Glad to see my pursuit will not be too expensive. Thanks also AET for suggesting the Classic Rotary Phones forum. I'm posting...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Don't forget that eBay owns a chunk of Craigslist. I was hoping, "Parcourir l'Aide" meant they'd come out and help me get through one of those Perrier Parcourses.

    Vintage Phones

    Thanks, that could work. Ideally I'd like a wall-mount phone. Any other suggestions? BTW, it sure looks like online and local prices are going to be higher than $100. I suspect things cost a bit more in California than they do in Maine. Also I'd pay more for unusual styling.

    Vintage Phones

    Okay, let me make a minor clarification here- I want that Golden Era look. So I am thinking phones from the 30s and 40s. I agree with AtomicEraTom that those 500s were great phones. But I want something with more of a deco or earlier look to it. I like the look of redbars and 202s and...

    Vintage Phones

    Best vintage sound? This weekend I visited a local flea market where a guy sells vintage phones he refurbishes. The phone in my home office has finally pooped out (and it is not worth fixing). What I'd like to get is a vintage phone with sound good enough to be useful in a modern...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Wow, one of the nicest hats I've seen in a while, Bart. And I keep going back to that fine stitching on Bluesman61's brim. Whew.

    Agreed. Prices are high enough already.

    Vintage A-2 offering I haven't seen before..

    At least they're not vague about it... Interesting. Everyone see the Links page, with links to VLJ forum and The Fedora Lounge? Wonder who he posts as here? Sure would be interested in seeing pictures of people wearing their jackets. That's where a really good jacket comes to life.

    Not impressed with barons hatshop

    Le Samouraï, If you want to defend Baron's, you might post pictures, including close-ups, refuting the claims made against Baron's. That way we can judge for ourselves. BTW, WRT George Lopez- a lot of companies, particularly in the LA area, will do better work for high rolling...

    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    westinghouse, who did you bribe? Ordered beginning of January. Still no word. No response on my last query to Aero USA over a week ago. At this point, with the warm weather here, I'm most concerned that I know in advance when it is coming, so it doesn't get stolen off my front porch.

    Hats in restaurants

    I am offended by all the great size 7 1/2 hats you find. Please stop. And let me know where I might find them. I promise not to wear them at the table.

    Hats in restaurants

    Wow, compared to this, wearing one's hat at the table is pretty tame. Let's not slam any group of people here. I try to keep a handkerchief or equivalent to cover the floor beneath my seat. I have been known to request an additional cloth napkin for the purpose. Never could figure out how...

    New Aero Veste de Rallye in black FQHH

    You can post photos right away, AFAIK. Just use the little icons above where you enter text. It's the Private Messaging system that requires a certain number of posts.

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Dang. Glow in the dark, too. Seriously, put a geiger counter on those puppies before too long so you know what you're dealing with. Probably safe enough, but don't polish them in your lap...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    A hangover. Oh wait, that's what I paid.

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    That was my experience as well, Mike K. I ordered one last year and it arrived with a broken zipper. Sent it back for a refund. Then I picked up a used one here that was a year older and I like it very much. My family and friends think it's silly, but I wear it when it's cold enough...
