Why were the German's referred to as "Huns"???
When I lived in Koln, I attended Carneval with friends. The largest parade group and largest group of celebrants during this roving party are the "Huns." During the day, being somewhat smaller than the average hun, I was passed from one set of broad shoulders to the next and paraded around to... -

Is the Lounge getting a bit.... slooooooow?
There really does seem to be a switch that's shut off at 40, doesn't there? Most of my life, especially while racing, I struggled to gain weight. Now, within the past several months, it no longer seems to be a challenge!- vonwotan

Is the Lounge getting a bit.... slooooooow?
Perhaps only when the buttons on my waistcoat/jacket are straining against my belly? I've recently celebrated my fourtieth birthday and, for the first time in my life, I may have to have two pair of pants let out...- vonwotan

lol :eusa_clap Quite so Pretty Square Gal Now that is a problem I have been having recently. After years of obsessive exercise and a fairly good diet work is taking its toll. I've resorted to the vending machines and local hot dog stand several times over the last few months with no...- vonwotan

I Haven't Seen It in a Long Time
I loved The Secret Garden as well as A Little Princess. I may need to see these again soon. The one that came immediately to mind was White Mischief. Unfortunatly, despite last springs revelations, it has never been released in US format on DVD. Can the VHS recordings be transferred to...- vonwotan

Knock on wood! Fortunately I have not exprienced any errors or slowdowns. Are these perhaps, signs of the FL's success? An active board with a lot of material showing some growing pains?- vonwotan

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The Pink Panther. Again. This was my favourite movie growing up and remains one of my favourites. My second crush, the first movie crush, was Fran Jeffries after seeing her sing Meglio Stasera in this movie.:D It never ceases to amaze me how wonderful the musical scores for movies used to...- vonwotan

Rejoice ye of small heads! Sizes 6 7/8 & 7
First up - Vintage Navy Blue Lock & Co. Sz 7 / 57 The first item I have for sale is a very nice Lock & Co. fedora in navy blue. The felt looks almost as if it were never worn but there is some evident wear on the sweat band. I nearly forgot to mention that this hat does currently live in a...- vonwotan

Rejoice ye of small heads! Sizes 6 7/8 & 7
;) My girlfriend is moving back to the States this December and she has impressed upon me her need for more closet space. She has also made it clear that before calling Art or finding another vintage Borsalino I need to thin the collection of hats I don't often wear. I will start posting...- vonwotan

What Are You Reading
Eco's thesis and first published book, Il problema estetico in San Tommaso, were on St. Thomas. However he made his reputation as a mediaevilist with the publication of his second book, Sviluppo dell’estetico medievale. Unfortunately my knowledge of Eco is primarily his novels and...- vonwotan

What Are You Reading
Harp, I would be interested to hear whether it is Eco's actual writings on philisopy, his literary criticisms and work in semiotics, or other views that have made you avoid his novels. I started reading Eco's literary criticisms as part of my University studies shortly after the realease of the...- vonwotan

Someone got that scarce GREEN WHIPPET
I have no idea what the outcome will be (other than Art-tastic) but, I recently sent Art an emerald green Borsalino hat body. I am also quite tempted by somthing in the same green as his Trackside... -
Lock & Co. cap - just won
I am not certain I can answer questions on quality. I've always been partial to the caps at Worth & Worth (I grew up in Manhattan), Christy's and Lock & Co., and the fabrics available through Borsalino. This however, can be attributed to my lack of exposure to other hat makers before joining... -
Lock & Co. cap - just won
Someone here should be able to answer that for you. I've never tried to have a cap sized up or down... By the way - love the Borsalino. I don't know what happened to my brown herringbone cap but everything I've seen recently has been too big. I guess it's a good thing this one wasn't in my...
