Is style stuck in a 2 decade rut?
I have to agree with PB on this one, at least as far as progress being relative. The Industrial Revolution was an improvement of technology and has greatly increased the sense of forward progress. However, humankind continues to progress at varying rates regardless of which imperial flag they...- Undertow

Is style stuck in a 2 decade rut?
I don't think it's a complaint so much as an observation. There are distinct differences in style between each decade, and the article would like us to believe we have not had a change in two decades. I disagree with the article. I think there are obvious differences from style between the...- Undertow

Stacy Adams shoes
For you folks that own the modern SA shoes, would you put their quality on par with some of the modern (better) Florsheims or Bostonians?- Undertow

Pomade
I don't mean to sound facetious, but one time after not washing my hair for 3 days in the summer and keeping it thick with Brylcreem, it started to smell a bit off. But if you're washing your hair thoroughly, putting in Brylcreem and wearing a hat - and you're not sweating buckets - then perhaps...- Undertow

9mm or 45cal
CCW weapons should fit your hand well, should be easily drawn and should effectively stop someone within one or two shots. While size isn't necessarily a concern, one must ensure that the firearm can be concealed properly. Home defense weapons should be easily accessible, easily loaded and...- Undertow

Pajamas in public...
Naw, that would be too square for an obnoxious brat like him. He'd be scolded sternly by the teacher, allowed to finish class and then sent home to change. Then his parents' team of lawyers would sue the school blind, they'd settle out of court and he'd go on to college with a new silver...- Undertow

Pajamas in public...
"Isn’t spending time worrying about what you’ll wear an even bigger distraction from academics?" :eusa_doh: This is part of the same pervasive attitude that has been sneaking in along with the, "Damn the man," and, "I do wat I want cuz Im an adult," mantras. Spending time in the morning...- Undertow

new technology taken into the vintage years....
I will be so sore if they don't have hover boards by 2015... C'mon scientists - you can make 3D objects invisible to microwaves, but you can't let me ride a sweet hoverboard? What kind of sick, sad world am I living in? You have exactly 3 years to fix this business...- Undertow

There Oughta Be a Dress Code...
I am 100% against dress codes, just as I'm 100% against being told what literature I should enjoy, or what food I should eat, or what programs I should watch. That said, I yearn for the days when people willingly attend a reception in evening clothes, or don a suit and tie at a restaurant...- Undertow

Precisely. Save your money, find something that fits you and work with that. -

Work Clothes/Play Clothes
Oh I see! Sure, I have some great play clothes. I suppose I should get some pictures of these things. Bother...who knows when that will happen. I have evening wear (notch and peak) for various parties. I have a brown windowpane check 3pc with covered buttons that I like to wear on good...- Undertow

Remakes That Were Better Than the Original
I would have to agree with this. You can attempt to emulate, or you can make something entirely different, but you cannot remake. Many great films have nuances that cannot be repeated. Certainly, a remake can retell the story and be entertaining, but not better. Now if the original wasn't...- Undertow

Work Clothes/Play Clothes
Define "play clothes"? On the weekends, I may don a button-down plaid shirt with some heavy-denim, cuffed jeans and boots. Or perhaps a cotton button down with button collar and slacks. sans tie. I have cheat days, too; e.g. laundry days when I'll wear something atrocious and modern, like...- Undertow

Photos that touch your heart....
There was a time, not too long ago in fact, when threads like this received a sudden and thorough axing. Some threads on the OB even had a loose "vintage" theme and were still killed. The rationale was that The Fedora Lounge is a place to discuss the Golden Era, and other vintage eras, and that...- Undertow

Remakes That Were Better Than the Original
Ahhh, no! lol I won't argue against opinion, and I love these remakes, but I can't say they're better than their originals. Now I'm stopping myself from being one of those crazy zealots as mentioned in the OP. ;)- Undertow

New to hats, would like some advice
Well Txmason, although those are great questions, the answers are very much dependent on your preferences. 1. Why not wear a fedora after Easter? A Fedora is suitable for any time of year. The only thing I would consider is the weight of the felt. I'm sure a thicker, heavier felt would be...
