B. Traven?
I'm a fan of both the novel and film of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. I may be wrong, but I think they are generally taken to be the same man, and it is very likely that Traven had overseen some of the filming, from what I've heard. I'd be interested in hearing other's thoughts on Traven...- The Good

Akubra Overload
Yeah, it's about time I consider another hat! Borsalino has nice hats, but they are generally very expensive and can't take rain well from what I've heard. If I were to get one, it would be the Borsalino Film style, but at that price I'd rather have a custom by Art Fawcett or John Penman. I... -
Akubra Overload
Thank you. I'm still trying to get my next hat figured out. It's been since a year and a half since I got myself a new one (Stetson Open Road), but I would go either Akubra or vintage for my next hat due to rain-wear functionality. I feel safer knowing that my hat is OK to wear under these... -
Akubra Overload
Is it true that the Federation IV hats are sized a little differently from the rest of the Akubras? For example, is a size 59 Fed IV going to be a little bit smaller than another size 59 Akubra, or are they the exact same? Danofarlington, here is what a sand Tablelands looks like: It looks... -
Show us their suits
That's a great three piece suit, and it's interesting about the crepe-soled shoes in that picture. I have actually worn a brown suit (late '60s wool three button and pants that have almost no break) with suede crepe-soled desert boots before. Provided that the shoe/boot is clean looking, is this... -

Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!
Thanks, everyone. Whenever I get the chance to wear my brown hat with it, I'll post a picture. I think it's a good style, but I may get an actual double-breasted trench coat in the future, too.- The Good

Side By Side/ Hat Comparisons
Thank you for showing the top hats, that was very fascinating history. I likely won't own one, but I admire whenever they're still worn to today's formal events, few as they are. -
The Early to Mid 1970s: The Last Gasps of the Golden Era
I'm aware that the Golden Era generation was still largely in power, still holding influence over how the world was run, as well as the fact that there was nostalgia for earlier times, such as the 1950s with a connection to the TV show Happy Days and movie Grease, as examples. I wonder, did the...- The Good

What are you wearing today??
I wore a London Fog "Maincoat" raincoat of unknown vintage for the first time in Los Angeles' rainy weather, and the condition looked just about new when I got it. I think the hat fits with it, and even my brown Indy style Akubra. In case anyone wants to try to identify the decade of the...- The Good

Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!
My coat came in the mail recently, and I wore it today on the first rainy day in months, here in Los Angeles: It's very comfortable, and warmer than I thought it would be. It does have a wool liner that could be zipped out. I like it with the hat, too. I think it fits in with my brown Indy...- The Good

College wardrobe
Hmm, looking at the list again, I would say that I'm about 50% there. I'm content with what I have, but I could be buying two or three more dress shirts (not oxford button downs), and perhaps a few more slacks as opposed to chinos. Recently, I acquired a beige single-breasted raincoat (London... -
Why do you come here? Why do you love the Golden Era?
I don't necessarily love the Golden Age, but there are a number of things I like about it. I knew about the Fedora Lounge since at least mid summer, 2009. At the start of 2010 I registered because of my interest in hats (then I owned a grey wool Jaxon, and an inauthentic Panama hat), and wanting...- The Good

The best of James Bond 007
I voted for Sean Connery, but I like all of them. All the Bond actors were suited for whatever style they were supposed to represent onscreen. In order, here's best to "worst": 1. Sean Connery 2. Roger Moore 3. Daniel Craig 4. Pierce Brosnan 5. George Lazenby 6. Timothy Dalton I haven't seen...- The Good

Cowboy Boots
Yeah, I don't understand why we can't do edits*on older posts. On topic, I think I might get western boots within next year. It isn't exactly a high priority at the moment, and I need to save money. I might try to get a couple of western shirts first before investing in boots. Do boots work...- The Good

Your Most Misunderstood Piece of Vintage
Exactly, ties can keep you warm. I find enough reason to be wearing one on a windy day even in Southern California. They are essentially like scarves. I personally have reservations about wearing an actual scarf, but a tie fills that role for me already. Once in a small while, I get "Are you...- The Good

Show us your TIES
Modern ties are being made too long. Are they all just made for Windsor or large knots now, is that the fashion, or do low-rise pants have more to do with it? Actually, I've read on some website that Italian ties are generally a little longer too, because it is a fashion over there to have it go...- The Good

Earliest fedora image?
Does that hat have slight creasing on the sides? I'd say it qualifies as either a fedora or porkpie with a high crown. -

How Many Fedoras did you see today?
Not exactly "today," but within three days at a large university campus, I'm pretty sure I noticed two or three felt fedoras (one beige with near-matching ribbon, a dark brown Indy looking type of hat, and a light grey with black ribbon stingy brim), and maybe a porkpie hat. There are also the...
