    How Old Are The Members of The Fedora Lounge?

    The vintage crowd here in NYC is youngish, too. I'm 55, but my wife is much younger/cuter/more interesting than me, so they let me hang around.

    "Chinatown" Jack N's fedora

    Intriguing that DrInfested thought the ribbon on Jack's hat wasn't "really tall" -- I like a wide ribbon just fine myself, so I like the hat, too, but I've not seen many ribbons that were wider (or "taller") than that one.

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    I interviewed Ms. Williams some years ago on the occasion of the publication of her memoirs; those who might be interested in reading that Q&A will find it here. And here's a tribute I created for her today for my employer's Facebook page:

    Oops, sorry.

    1940s/early 1950s British double breasted suit - size 42 - low starting price

    Any room to let out in the waist? And can you give an idea of the type/weight of the fabric?

    MAKE ME WEEP, the Milan is sold!

    How I wish it would fit my 7 5/8 ELO hayed.

    Boater assistance

    No, I'm talking about the sides of the crown; they don't look entirely vertical in that photo. There's a bit of an inward curve to them (perhaps it's an optical illusion). Doesn't much matter, I guess; as you say, the hat's no longer available on their website.

    Small Cache of Beaver Brand Hats FOUND

    I could be interested in something in 7 3/4 or 7/8 (or 7 5/8 long oval).

    Boater assistance

    I wish I could say I was sold on their boater, but it doesn't quite work for me (though I've not seen it in person) -- there's a slight inward curve to the crown (in the photo, at least) that doesn't appeal to me. Does anyone know of a US retailer who offers Olney boaters? And how about sizing...

    Warner Archive Instant -a Streaming Service for Movies

    I'm sure you won't mind my sharing that the above is an article from the New York Times. I checked out the Warner Archive Instant service when they first launched, and found the selection sorely lacking, especially consider how rich their press-on-demand catalogue is. The streaming offerings...

    Diner mugs

    Here's another company that does them (not sure of their prices -- it would depend on the artwork, they said), but they require a minimum order of 36 mugs: http://www.retroplanet.com/CSRV

    Diner mugs

    I have a classic diner mug (with logo) from the Deluxe Town Diner in Watertown, Mass., and I called them to ask who their supplier was. It's a company called Military Art -- www.milart.com. Here's an example of the mug: https://www.milart.com/ProductDetails.php?ID=37 I don't know what their...

    Do You Listen to "40s on 4" on Sirius/XM?

    Live365 has a free streaming app for smartphones, so if any of you are inclined, you can listen to Cladrite Radio (we play plenty of 1920s and '30s music) in your car, with the use of the auxiliary jack. Just a suggestion...

    The New York "Heads Up" thread

    I haven't been there, but it might worth a visit. Pricey, I think, and it's a pretty small store.

    Show us your TIES

    Thanks! A Lounger posted about them, actually, so that's how I found them (I don't recall which Lounger, alas, so I can't give proper credit.)

    Show us your TIES

    My two most recent acquisitions.

    Why I feel good buying vintage

    Apples and oranges. The difference in buying vintage is you're not putting money in the pockets of those who overworked and underpaid their workers -- you're not rewarding the questionable practices cited above.

    Palm Beach Neckties

    I thought I had two Palm Beach ties, but it turns out the other is made of 100% virgin wool. So here's the only one I own. I get loads of compliments on it every time I wear it.

    Palm Beach Neckties

    Feraud, I sincerely wish you a long, happy life, but just in case you do get hit by a bus or something, would you see to it at your earliest convenience that I am cited in your last will and testament as the recipient of your Palm Beach ties? Thanks in advance.
