    March 8, International Women's Day

    ooops... I just saw this thread now, on the 10th! :o Happy Belated Women's Day! :eusa_clap Here in the UK it wasn't really marked as far as I could see, but I know from friends and family that in Romania and Russia it is a big event - especially in the latter. It is a shame that it...

    The end of civilization

    A few months back I went to "The Living Room" with some friends who came over to visit us from Ireland. The bruiser at the door stopped me (almost clothes-lined me actually) as I was entering the bar and demanded I remove my hat. At the time I thought it was just to reinforce good manners...

    Much obliged Salv. There are some nice looking products there.

    Modern "high waisted" trousers?

    Salv to the rescue again! Thanks a lot - your presence on these boards is a big help to those of us here in (and new to) London!

    Modern "high waisted" trousers?

    There was an interesting thread recently about some high-waisted trousers made from vintage patterns... however as I'm not about to undertake that task, I figured I'd ask if anyone knows of any modern-made trousers that are high-waisted, that basically approximate the look of vintage wear...

    Where do you wear yours?

    Very interesting thread, as usual! I make an effort to wear a suit as often as possible. You look good, you feel good, and as they say "clothing makes the man". I found out that appearance does matter, which isn't necessarily a bad thing - especially if you have the brains, talent or...

    My cheerful discussion...

    Ah, that is one cool hat. I hope I'm lucky enough one day to find something vintage that has that same special "something"!

    My cheerful discussion...

    I'll chime in with my two cents... emm, pence worth and say that this is a wonderful thread. So often we accentuate the negative and never appreciate the things that make life worth living. Good on ya WR for starting an uplifting, thought-provoking thread! I initally thought that I'd put in...

    How to travel with hats

    Hello! I fly quite a bit as well, and I either put it in my lap or pull it down over my eyes (Indy style I guess) and catch a few Zzzz's. I would be leery of placing it in the overhead bin, as people try to cram everything but the kitchen sink (and even that gets thrown in on some flights)...

    What Famous Person is the Posterboy/Girl?

    We saw Pierce one day in Dublin, by St. Stephens Green. We nearly ran into him, as neither of us was looking in the right direction. He was crossing the street, talking to his wife. Even if I didn't know him from the screen, he would've stood out. He was impeccably dressed, groomed and...

    Show us your TIES

    Thanks indeed Salv. I actually picked that one up - the "M" is quite appropriate! Thanks in general to you all for pointing out some neat ties on eBay. Perhaps my wife and I will be able to attend the next Queen Mary event in CA, and get to raid the shops there in a quest for some...

    Chicks with Big Noses

    I personally like curvier women, but it depends on the woman. Regarding Ms. Hilton... I don't think Paris Hilton is ugly... odd looking maybe. I've heard of her described as a "borzoi"... Interesting comparison. I actually saw a picture of her recently and she was very... for lack...

    Good Night and Good Luck

    I've been quite busy and not checking in to the Lounge as often as I do to catch up on things. I recently stumbled upon this thread, hoping to hear something about the film itself and not political bickering. Among all the huffing and puffing I did manage to glean some favourable comments...

    Show us your TIES

    I understand what you are saying. I've been to a few places here in London, and I've not seen anything that would pass for 30s/40s vintage. Lots of 60s, mostly 70s. I've come across several sites using Google and it is hard for me to tell whether they are 40s or 50s... I admit that I...

    Show us your TIES

    Where do ye find all these cool ties? I've looked on eBay and there aren't any that look particularly vintage or attractive. Also - does anyone make any modern ties that are a fair repro of the Art Deco/vintage style? If I can't find a decent vintage tie I'd be more than happy to wear...

    Softening up an Akubre Federation Deluxe?

    Congrats on the new lid Mr. H! I had the same problem, my hat was as hard as a rock, like a helmet actually. It has only recently started to soften up, but it is nothing like my vintage Royal Stetson, nor do I think it will be! The good thing is that I can wear this at times I would...

    The perfect Cup of Joe.

    Hi Salv - sorry for the late response, I've been reformatting my computer... We got our big ibric (or ibrik) from the "old country", but we recently picked up a smaller one (perfect for a quick cup) from Harrods of all places! It was upstairs in their kitchenware/coffee section, and it was...

    Art Deco Gibson Guitars...

    *sigh* Ah, it is such a hassle to play that guitar - the Goldtop... It sounds so good that I'm tempted to stand there and play G, C and D all day. I never get any real writing done because those three chords just sound so amazing. Now if I start to solo - forget it. Tone, sustain - the...

    All users with Myspace, please share :)

    I have a friend with a band who has caught the Myspace buzz. He is planning on promoting his music via the Internet... Intriguing idea - it seems that loads of other people have gone this route. I found the myspace interface kinda jumbled and difficult to navigate. I've been spoilt by...
