Necktie Knots
Seems to me... ...it was one of those things that was "just done." I seem to remember reading that it was one of those non-verbal signals that you "got it" as opposed to the rube who didn't. It went along with the right suit, tie, shoe, etc. back before Malloy wrote "Dress for Success" and...- Mid-fogey

Did you attend a college or university?
This reminds me... ...of a great story from my Dad. At Va Tech, a man named Bosco Rasch (sp?) was interviewing for something. The department head was concerned he wasn't well prepared enough, and Bosco asked the textbook they used for a particular freshman course. The department head got...- Mid-fogey

If you... ...weren't such a little hottie, you wouldn't have been invited to all those parties that got in the way of studying.- Mid-fogey

Longtime Loungers...do you think the Lounge has changed a great deal?
Whew! This thread... ...reminds me of the time I rode my lawn mower over a ground hornet nest. I'm a relative newbie, but I think there is a mix here of highly focused, serious topical discussions and whimsy. But remember that we have some new members like CharlestonBows who can educate...- Mid-fogey

What to do when they just don't get it
I think... ...some level of concern for the feelings of your wife would be nice. My wife isn't wild about my hats. She could care less what I wear to work or when I'm out on my own. She does tolerate them at church when I'm in coat and tie. She likes newsboys and other types of caps. So... -
Best bowler in London?
Thanks for all... ...the great posts. This place remains an education. I wish bowlers were a bit less "costumey". When you think about it, with their smaller profile, they are really a great choice for a modern world. I am constantly bonking the back of my fedora brim on headrests. -

Stiff Starch Shirts: The Japanese Method
My bubble... ...remains unburst. I was really referring to the washing machine, line hanging, products used, etc. I didn't suppose that this was a common practice.- Mid-fogey

To-day marks 70th anniversary of abdication
It's hard for modern... ...people to understand the impact the abdication had on the world. We today have access to more information on the couple, but at the time most folks thought it was all about love. Inasmuch as people were generally less cynical than today, were less flooded by news...- Mid-fogey

Stiff Starch Shirts: The Japanese Method
Many thanks.... ...Choeki, for sharing your dissertation. It is a fascinating look into how things are done somewhere else in the world. Those are some stiff shirts. I suppose if you nod off a work they would keep you upright.;)- Mid-fogey

A question of...
All good points... ...what I'm getting at is: do you have some hats that seem to work better one way or the other? I mean that some of my hats don't seem to naturally go one way or the other. Some of them get funny "waves" in the brim when they are the way they don't "want" to go. -
A question of...
...brims. I'm sure there must have been a discussion of this before. Does anyone else have wear different fedoras with the brim up or down depending on the hat? I have a Borso that begs to have the brim left up all the way around. It curls a bit much and just seems better that way. By... -

A suprise for vintage shavers...
Intersting... ...my Palmolive was the red, not the green and not the brushless. Sorry, but I only remember the Wilkinson Sword blades. They are wicked sharp though. Target seems to be phasing out Proraso. Several months ago our local was having a close out sale.- Mid-fogey

A suprise for vintage shavers...
It's the Red tube. It doesn't say "brushless" it says: "Lather Shaving Creme" When you use it, the product is green. It works pretty well. I not sure I like it as well as I like my Trumpers Lime, but at 1/7th the price for a tube that's twice as big, well...- Mid-fogey

How much stuff did these 40's guys own?
Most men... ...in the 1930s (if that is what we are talking about), worked with their hands. Farmers, factory workers, etc. The thread's "Sunday Suit" comment is right on. It wasn't too long ago when every man had at least one suit for weddings, funerals, etc. My Grandfathers fell in the...- Mid-fogey
