Reactions when you first start wearing brimmed hats.
It looks like you really struck a nerve here Historyteach! Everyone gettin in on the thread, bottom line seems to be ....wearing a hat from a different era gets you some attention! Seems that a lot of it has to do with the age of the wearer! If you're young or young looking then people are going... -

Stetson 100 Box inserts
sorry to hear about the goats! That is really quite inventive though, this is what I love about this Lounge, so many people willing to roll their sleeves up and fix it/make it themselves. I recently made a stop at the local hat shop here in town, they've been there 40 years or more, asked... -
Reactions when you first start wearing brimmed hats.
Mixed reaction from folks easily split into two categories, those with class and those without! The trailer trash will stare and laugh and the rest will admire it. Either way...any "press" is good press!! Besides...what will someone assume about you when they see your hat! We do judge a book... -

How much time do you spend in the hat lounge compared to the other lounge rooms
The hats are what led me to the lounge but I've found that there is a lot of other information here that I'm equally interested in. -
Golden-Era Hot-Rodding
It's a one man outfit, just Ian, and his wife stops by after work. I think he's oriented to what will keep him busy and in business. I'm sure there are there are things he'd love to be doing but when you need a brake job or oil change..he'll do that too. I did finish pulling the 350 out of the...- Bourne ID

Show us your vehicles
Not sure how I missed this thread, great cars throughout! Here's mine, a 1950 Plymouth Special Deluxe. I've had her for three years now and have loved every mile. Even when she's left me on the side of the road I've got the hood up and a smile on my face. Last year she was in for a tranny swap...- Bourne ID

Hair cuts
I can only make it about a week without using shampoo,shorter if I use hair gels, my scalp gets too itchy to go any longer. I hate the way my hair gets the day after a shampooing, very dry and frizzy, after a few days is looks much healthier. It does get a rinsing and vigorous finger scrubbing...- Bourne ID

What are you listening to?
This might threaten my membership to the Lounge but I must confess that I don't always listen to Jazz and Big Band. My secret addiction, first thing in the morning before any of my men get to the shop....Trance and Trip Hop. A little Benny Benassi, Massive Attack and Bjork always get me going... -
Golden-Era Hot-Rodding
Oh well, no luck yesterday with the blazer. Guy was a shyster, truck not on the road, couldn't get it running and it was someones frankenstien attempt. Wires and switches all over the dash and cab and far to much JBweld holding everything together on the motor. We passed, located another 350 at...- Bourne ID

Sweater sizes - baggy versus tight-fitting
I too have a sweater on at the office this morning, 50 degrees in here! I have several kinds of sweaters that I can grab depending on what I need. One or two thin button front and two heavy, baggy zip front for when it's really chilly. The baggy always feel warmer to me even when they're the...- Bourne ID

do you have many friends?
Martin, I agree that most of us had many more friends in school, but possibly as a result of far more leasure time combined with a very social setting. Completely surrounded by young people your age with just as much leasure time. It bears small resemblance to the adult world, the real world...- Bourne ID
