    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I had two comments this past week that were at opposite ends of the spectrum. The first comment was from a Brother when I was entering the Masonic Lodge I attend. I was wearing a charcoal suit, grey fedora and mid calf length overcoat. One of the gentleman there said "If you will forgive me...

    Are There Any Men Who Do Not Talk Much Left?

    There is a story about President Calvin Coolidge, a Vermonter, being a man of few words. He was at a function and was told by a lady in attendance that she had made a bet that she could get him to say more than three words. His response to her was "You loose" From whitehouse.gov "Both his...

    Fedora Lounge Membership Surpasses 30,000

    I guess that would be better than you saying you were staying and him buying you beer and trying to convince you to leave.

    Irony in the misconception that people who wear fedoras look ridiculous

    Actually I can think of at least one hat that I would be happy to wear in the dead of winter that is NOT a fedora: And being in Vermont I have worn many types of hats in the winter - all of which you listed and a few others. I look at the Fedora as one option and if someone ridicules it, it...

    Brims - How do you like them

    I am just the opposite of the OP. All of my lids up to a month or so ago were bound. I couldn't see myself in a raw edge. I had a beat up Penny's Marathon that had a wide brim with some damage so I cut off 1/4" and had my first unbound brim (it has become of working outside hat). Since then I...

    Help for Fashion Disaster

    Brother- One thing I did when I started hanging out here was to look at the "what are you wearing today?" Thread. It helped me decide on a "look" and gave me some ideas when out shopping. Fraternally HeyMoe Summit# 104

    What Song Would You Like Played At Your Funeral.

    As sick as it sounds, I have had my funeral planned since I was 17 (something that you think about early on when you enlist in the military). At the funeral, as I am being carried out, a friend (dressed at the Grim Reaper) will dance out to Queen's "Another one bites the dust". My whole family...

    Temperature Range for an A2

    I wore an A-2 all last winter here in Vermont. On all but the coldest days I was fairly comfortable. Guess it just depends on the person.

    The nicest comment I ever heard

    Heard two comments today: #1 in JC Penny looking for some dress gloves for winter. An employee said "I love your fedora!" I was surprised that she knew it was a fedora (Hat was a medium grey Adam Executive homburg converted to a fedora style) #2 I stopped at a pharmacy to pick up a script...

    The End of an Era - After Almost a Century

    HudsonHawk, I am not sure where you live, but up here in rural central Vermont it is not uncommon to have power outages that last a week+ and we rarely lose POTS based phone service (zero times in past 20 years that I can remember). If I need to call 911 due to a medical emergency, I...

    The End of an Era - After Almost a Century

    Yeah, that isn't going to work where I live: We have no cell service (and cell providers refuse to add towers due to the low numbers of customers in the area that I live in) and IP based phones are not likely to work in a power outage (Now if the power is out, I can still make phone calls). We...

    How do you react to intrusive hat price questions and/or unwanted hat touchings?

    When asked if someone could hold or "see" my hat, I typically respond: "I only trust two people with my hats: I am one and you are not the other" and leave it at that. Typically they will laugh until they realize what I said. I have also said "Sure, as long as I can hold your wife" As far as...
