    Wonderful. And Holzer is the preeminent Lincoln biographer of our time.

    Leather Collar Wear

    My leather collars are wearing in this way, just as most of the vintage examples I've seen. The oils produced by human skin are rather powerful. You have only to look through a pile of old eyeglasses frames to see another example.

    Pomade

    WELL?? :) The Iron Society stuff: after a few months, it's not for me. Gave it my best shot. It is doubtless an excellent product, but for me, and my own hair, it's too stiff and hard to use, then after applied it vanishes fast, leaving my hair hanging in my face.

    Full Grain v. Top Grain

    I will never cease to be stunned by some of the bizarre interpretations of our actions. This is wholesale rubbish. We've closed threads, and explained why we were doing so, because posters were well beyond the rules of civility that we demand from our members. We truly strive for editorial...

    Eddie Schmidt, Hollywood's tailor.

    It hasn't ended, or been "expunged." The photos have been gutted out by the main poster of same, because our members were "lazy and unwilling to do their own homework." Never mind that the great majority of our members don't live in the vintage-lying-around-like-dandelions environs of LA, and...

    I was viewing the vintage homes thread a couple weeks ago and it said there virus ale

    Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?

    BK price increases again?

    Here's the rule of thumb: Never write anything on The Fedora Lounge that you would not say, out loud, at a quiet, upscale dinner party of mixed-sex guests, hosted by the FL management. I cannot imagine circumstances that would allow me to feel free to write backhanded disparaging comments...

    The Passing Away of John Erickson, Fellow Lounger and Friend to Many.

    I am stunned at this news. He was a grand fellow, a good sport, and a pleasure to talk with. He will be missed around here. Prayers for his family.

    Hatventures in Andalucía

    That's a great shopping trip. Better to refuse a hat that isn't going to make you happy - especially if you get some great shoes. Bonus! Thanks for these great images!

    Water

    My city was the last one east of the Mississippi to treat it's drinking water, in 1994- some thirty two years after being ordered to by the state.
