French Hats and makers.
Quick related question. I'm heading to Paris latter this year and thought I'd buy a hat while I was there (surprise! surprise!). Are there any great old hat shops people would recommend? -
Three Acts of Murder - Aussie 1930s Era Telemovie
I liked it - I've never heard of Upfield. I'll have to find some of his stuff. Something to add to all my Arthur Gask books!- Godfrey

Save the Chap!
Probably a good thing - preferred the A5 as it was easier to read on the tram!- Godfrey

Save the Chap!
Not at all - I was just looking at the last edition and thinking how fetching you were and how the photo shoots had been a good addition to the Chap.- Godfrey

Save the Chap!
Odd - I pay my subscription by PayPal. I've set it up to automatically kick off each year when its due. I hope other Lounge members help out - be awful to see "The Chap" go the same way as "Classic Style"- Godfrey

Save the Chap!
Thanks for pointing this out. I would have missed it. Donation winging its way from Australia as I type. Another thought to help save The Chap is to buy a friend a subscription as a present. What could be better than to help an uneducated ruffian become a sartorial swami?- Godfrey

The Antipodean thread
Then they are beneath consideration and should be spurned! 'The Chap' should be standard at any periodical seller of worth!- Godfrey

The Antipodean thread
Great idea for a thread. Might also be worth mentioning a few Lounge threads focusing on Australia. Tailors in Melbourne & Sydney - has proved useful. Australia in the Golden Era - great links. Another from the prolific Splatt BTW - the Victorian State Library is having a exhibition of...- Godfrey

Tailors in Melbourne & Sydney
Travellers Apparel in Melbourne All - just got a note in the mail that my Tailor Travellers Apparel (see above for an example) is having a sale from the 7th of May through to the 16th. Worth getting down there. I had two suits made recently and am very satisfied. Personally going to get a nice... -
Hat comeback
Agree on the Australia front. Lots more in Melbourne - especially in summer. Fedora's are about more this year as we move into winter. Its interesting - I started wearing mine into work more often and after a few months 2 guys in my area have followed suit. I agree that the more people who wear... -

When does a gentleman fight back?
I find this a pretty interesting thread. A few years ago I was attacked by about 6 guys in a park and had a number of teeth knocked out and my palet broken. Oddly I was trying to avoid a confrontation - it was just that these guys wanted to punch someone. So after a few years reflection and $13k...- Godfrey

Bicycles & suits
Personally prefer the selection at Dashing Tweeds. Far more practical and stylish. -
HELP I'm writing a paper for school...
1. Why do you wear a fedora of all hats, what does it mean to you? I wear one because I stand out without being showy and it makes sense to wear one from a health perspective (keeps you warm and keeps the sun off) 2. What made you want to wear the hat? Started when I was young due to a... -
The First Gumleaf Mafia in Hollywood
Great read! I used to watch Snub on ABC in the 70's/80's and was always kinda chuffed that he was an Australian in Hollywood way back then. Didn't know about the others. Thanks!- Godfrey

Akubra Straws
I've got an Akubra Jive and Jive Master. Both great hats. Leather sweatband means they stay pretty cool. The Jive master is some sort of treated Straw and the Jive is polypropylene. Looks great as far as I'm concerned and are both pretty breezy on a hot day. I prefer them to my panama (does that... -
Doing my bit to stimulate the (Akubra) Economy
Hoorah! Well done! I'm sure Kevin 07 would approve! Boo Yah to rescue packages let headwear and style show the way! Quite inspired me - off to City Hatters for a browse tomorrow and my tailor on the weekend. Rot to insulation!* _______ * In Australia our government has decided to stimulate... -
The Cap Faction
Tweeds A quick question of cap protocol. I've heard that if you are wearing tweeds the cap should be of a different pattern/ colour. ie - they shouldn't match. Does anyone know if this is correct? -
self-concious in my fedora
I wore a hat at University pretty solidly then sort of drifted away from it for some reason. I never felt that self conscious about it then but when I came back it 5 or 6 years ago - I did. I think it must have been all my indoctrination as a clone consultant! I eased back into hat wearing with... -
They Say Em' From the Golden Era - Slang & Memorable Phrases
Probably so - didn't feel like it at the time as there were a number of "off-limit" words that don't seem so problematic these days. As a lad I once helped my grandfather shear some sheep and still haven't used up the store of expletives I learnt that day! His everyday expletive was "blast" one...- Godfrey
