    Rare and Expensive Books

    I own book 421, of the one thousand limited edition copies of The Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge. It's from 1929. I was offered 500 dollars for it last year, but it's one of my most treasured possessions. Here's a link to 495 that has already been sold. I also have the 1919 edition of...

    Where do you think vintage is more popular?

    I'd have to say Japan dominates the vintage subculture, when you look at the world at large. America has been "anti-fashion" since the late 90's and as a whole has not left that mentality yet. Here laziness and slobbery still rule the day, it's the simplest option. The subculture is growing...

    What do you think of modern "Street/Punk" Fedoras?

    I believe you and Paddy are right. It's a step in the right direction. If I had to guess, most hat wearers in my age group probably started with something along those lines, before they moved up towards what many consider a "proper" hat ;). For many I think it's the first step towards a great...

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    Are you talking about the "come backs" that are suggested, or how some describe the people that say the insults to begin with? Either way I have a hard time understanding that feeling, maybe I am "smugger" then I thought lol. Atleast I keep it to one obscure online board though :p lol.

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    You must be more dedicated to this thread then I am. And I'm sure with all that post on here their are some that are as you describe. The few I've read have hardly been boarderline though. Such as teens teasing a grown man for his attire well he was on his way to see his wife in the hospital, or...

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    I don't see Don adapating much to be honest, and I don't see him changin style that much. Don may change how he dresses a bit, but I don't see it going over board. If anything this show is about how people ultimatly don't change deep down, and Don isn't going to either. If the show goes far...

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    Perhaps, but on the flip side their are plenty of people who go the other way, and I don't feel it is my duty to start telling off some hippie about how they are dressing. Yet members of our subculture are suppose to put up with personal insults do to a clothing choice? I understand what you...

    What we have to put up with!

    Please. If these guys are looking for tips to get women online, their clothing choice is the lest of their worries. What ever happened to being a man and doing what you want? "Does a Fedora make me look like a dork?" Yes, if you need other people to tell you its ok to do something your a...

    Time's Top 10 Things We Miss About the Mad Men Era

    You can't even get a bag of peanuts anymore saddly. "Walk down the street these days, and what do you see? Guys in mesh basketball shorts, dudes in flip-flops and bros in untucked shirts. In other words, men that don't give a damn about how they look." Thankfuly we here at the Fedora...

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    Not to be an ass, but you are part of a subculture whether you want to be or not, especially to the "dominate" culture at large. As soon as their were enough individuals who follow a trend, or lifestyle, they are labeled for many purposes, (usually for simply identification) and our little...

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    Since we have the Salon view here is the National Review view. Written by Natasha Simons. Now I don't agree with everything that is stated, but I think it does explain how some of us are excited to see them leave the final stages of the Golden age, well others are dreading it. Mad Men the...

    True Grit!

    I like westerns, but at the same time remaking the film that John Wayne received his only Oscar for.... well I won't say I won't see it, but it does fell... odd. It maybe good though if they stick to the book. It would be nice to see a western that isn't neo-spaghetti style. An oldfashion...

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    Those who know me know my hatred for the late 60's and the 70's (1960's-1970's if your still in the dark ;) ). And despite some people who enjoyed living threw that time frame (like many great people on this forum ;)) I have absolutely no interest in seeing this show go in towards that era...

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    What's wrong with that? I'm a young fuddy-duddy, I aspire to be like you one day lol :p. Then again I think I'm a retrosexual... I guess. I prefer the term vintage, but whatever ;-).

    Mrs. Hitler in London?

    I wasted my minor on PoliSci (as we always wrote it out as). Once upon a time I loved politics, but then I grew out of it and I changed my life's goals. Like most of the social sciences though their are disagreements :p, but I was taught what I was taught and I'm to uninterested in politics...

    Mrs. Hitler in London?

    The world of political science doesn't start and end with socialism :p. Technically speaking reactionaries are those who want to turn back the Enlightenment, and specifically the rise of classic liberalism and capitalism, and return to the Monarchy (or landed gentry at the very least) or a state...
