    Were to buy used fedoras?

    For me there is only one local vintage store that has any fedoras worth looking at and I've never seen any above a size 7 1/4; far to small form my 7 1/2 LO head. Personally I utilize this website: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/hats/mens-hats

    Where can I get a shirt like this but striped ?

    In the US, they're called Banded Collar shirts. A google search returns a great number sites selling them. You may want to check Western wear sites as well.

    Hip flasks.

    HA! My concern is that flasks are not very large; they were designed to hold spirits to be sipped, not gulped. Unless you have easy access to fresh clean water for refills, you'll be running out of water pretty quickly.

    Forum Upgrade -- POST ANY ISSUES HERE

    Links seem to be a problem. Every link I click on in the sticky "Historically GREAT THREADS of the Fedora Lounge!" returns a totally non-related thread.

    Is "yanks" an offensive title

    A humorous aphorism attributed to E. B. White summarizes these distinctions: To foreigners, a Yankee is an American. To Americans, a Yankee is a Northerner. To Northerners, a Yankee is an Easterner. To Easterners, a Yankee is a New Englander. To New Englanders, a Yankee is a Vermonter...

    Hey, what ever happened to....

    The most recent time I can remember Hollywood using this cliche was in Cast Away, when Hellen Hunt learns that Tom Hanks is still alive.

    Unpopular movie opinions...

    The list is endless I'm always the one who takes a pass on this year's "Must see" film; mainly because if I do so see them, I always think they're crap. Avatar = Dances with Wolves + Pocahontis + Lt. Dan gets magic legs Forrest Gump = Nifty technology does not save this from being a...

    Humongous photo on wall of two men wearing fedora's

    Snap I find it interesting that neither of them have snapped their brims... Was it common not to snap the brim at some time?[huh]

    Pleat depth question

    I understand that pleats were more common in the past due to men actually wearing trousers at their natural waist. The waist is normally the slimmest point on a person, so if your trousers are sitting on your waist, they need to go out to fit over your hips before they go in. They need to...
