    How Old Are The Members of The Fedora Lounge?

    Grouch, C&R?? No, I don't think so. That is to say, there are only three sites I visit. What is C&R? Have you seen another "Cabinetman" floating about? Cab

    Someone looking for a 30s/40s tuxedo...?

    You know, Mrs. C entered the room and looked over my shoulder to see what I had typed about "...the red one for Mrs. C..." She lit up immediately and asked sheepishly, "Was I supposed to see that?" Her birthday is the 23rd, so gifting must be on the brain. However, it also shows her growing...

    Someone looking for a 30s/40s tuxedo...?

    You must have read my mind, Havershaw. I also put one down on the red dress the same seller has. Looks like it might work for Mrs. C. Thanks for the heads up. Cab

    eBay larger sized suit alert!

    Fit compared to today's suit - I don't see any real appreciable difference in freedom of movement. I don't have any binding or "uncomfortable positions" when wearing my modern suit(s). This new-to-me 1940 model is certainly different, but I can't say that it is much different from the...

    eBay larger sized suit alert!

    Boy, I gotta get outa here, but real quick: Matt - I'll review more later, but the armholes are definitely smaller; it's a closer fit for sure there, but not uncomfortable. I've not done any litmus testing yet. I'll get back to ya here later. Root - Okay, so the length is good. Great...

    eBay larger sized suit alert!

    First vintage suit? Indeed, it is. Were it not for my shared namesake, Zohar, I would still be without. You know, it's funny about putting that suit on, and looking in the mirror as you go. Shirt - okay, nothing too special about that. Tie - modern, but nice. Pants - uh, what year is...

    eBay larger sized suit alert!

    Thank you boys. Brad, a shirt with a longer shirt, eh?LOL I like it. Uh...I know. You meant like a t-shirt under the dress shirt. Yes, that would work. Of course, I just poke a little gentle fun. I suppose a longer shirt sleeve would warrant a little bigger size. That is to say, my...

    eBay larger sized suit alert!

    Zohar's suit Here are some pictures from 1940, boys (and girls if you drop by)...sorta. It mostly fits. As I told Zohar, the pants are comfortable, but certainly there is no NEED for suspenders. I think the length is just about right. The jacket I think would be comparable to today's 42...

    In hand. Tried it on, and...and...and... I'll just have to keep you in suspenders until I can get some pics taken and put up here. Zo, pm coming. Cab

    eBay larger sized suit alert!

    N, How tall are you? Like 7'-4" or something ;) ? Really, though, this could be taken in, I suppose, right? I wear a 42 long typically, 34x32 pants...think this could work? N

    I'm singing at PBG's wedding!!!

    PBG, Good morning! You know, if a whole slew of criteria were met, it's not that outrageous of an idea. I wondered what you'd think seeing this post in the wee small hours (How much longer will you be working this shift, by the way?). If nothing else, perhaps it made for a bright, albeit...

    Miss Velma Kelly presenting her cabaret bowler

    Let me grab the script...Looks like it was developed in 1993. Originally directed by Kenneth Elliot, Off Broadway in February of 1995. Starred Alison Fraser and Emily Loesser (daughter of Frank). It ran over 300 performances. Maxine Andrews appeared in a cameo as herself, then died two weeks...

    I'm singing at PBG's wedding!!!

    T, you're awsome. Somehow, I felt that after I posted that, something would happen. Kind of like a leap of faith or something, you know? Maybe not quite that grand, but I had a really strong feeling about it yesterday. Maybe it's divine urging. Maybe not. Big-T, you are divine, right...

    Miss Velma Kelly presenting her cabaret bowler

    I thought it was "Dag nabbit" or "Dad gummit". Of course a combination is just as good. But I certainly don't mean to antagonize. Wow, MK, the ladies have become ever present. Mrs. Cab may need to poke her head in here, too. She's going to do a show in March called Swingtime Canteen. Set...

    I'm singing at PBG's wedding!!!

    Okay, well, Dan doesn't know it yet, so don't tell him. It's a surprise and gift for letting me be invloved with the archaeology brushes. Truth be told, I'd love to do this, and I think PrettyBigGuy and PrettyLittleGirl would find the budget just right. At almost 33 years of age, if there's...

    New Optimo Hats for FALL coming soon.

    Maybe a pilgrimage in November for my birthday. Isn't the fedora the traditional gift for the 33rd anniversary of birth? Then again, August 27 is Mrs. C's and my 10th - that might be a nice couple of days. We actually have talked about it a number of times. Her, moreso, than me, believe it...

    New Optimo Hats for FALL coming soon.

    Did Graham happen to mention, or do you know, tobacco in lightweight? While I am not after an Indy, per se, I sure have been impressed with that nutria/beaver blend, and I do like that color. I believe I read that all those bodies are gone, but perhaps more would be available this fall. I...
