It's about time we define "fedora"
Coincidentally, material is in question. In fact, all variables are still in question (as best as I can tell). -
It's about time we define "fedora"
I was addressing the following statements: There were, are and always will be wool felts in relation to fur felts. I don't think anyone said there weren't. Previous posters have implied that in order to define a fedora, we only use fur (and exclude wool), however as this thread is a... -
It's about time we define "fedora"
I don't think a catalog represents this at all. A catalog, especially older varities, represents the projected offerings of a single company; i.e. what a company hoped would sell. Certainly, a company such as Sears may have chanced wool felt fedoras, but it's just as likely the majority of... -
It's about time we define "fedora"
Considering you’re a member of this forum, I'm surprised at your reaction to a thread about fedoras on a website devoted to that very subject (among many others). Perhaps you and your ilk are accustomed to other internet behavior, however, the Fedora Lounge is not a place devoted to the... -

Do you own a Tux?
And don't forget plaid! I can't find the picture, but I believe it was Senator Jack who had a sharp plaid dinner jacket posted a few years ago. Bogart, among others, also pulled off a white dinner jacket with black silk lapels. We have a thread on that somewhere too. -

Do you own a Tux?
lol That was exactly what I was referring to; no kidding. I said "recently" thinking within the last 100 years, and mainly American. But really, honestly, I stand corrected (considering it's been over 100 years - and I can't do math, haha) -

"Here's looking at you, kid" and what might get you slapped
I don't think it was, or is, polite to direct any unwarrented familiarity towards anyone, for any reason, in any era. On the other hand, your tone of voice greatly determines the eventual outcome. That said, some folks may take offense and others might not. It's all part of your personality...- Undertow

Do You Feel Old, CNN Article
As articulate as you may like to play, please don't sully your response with the same conjecture you accuse CNN of using. In an age that has literally introduced science fiction into fact, an age of real global community, and age of instant information, humankind has yet to attain the ability...- Undertow

Nope. Tuxedo is synonomous with Evening dress, or dinner jacket. Evening Dress - general classification of formal or semi-formal wear (white or black tie) Dinner Jacket - Semi-formal evening jacket of black or midnight blue, typically with satin or grosgrain lapels. Tuxedo - Only... -
PO'd about stains
I've never had to press my own suits (dry cleaners take care of that for me) but after reading this thread, I'm wondering if someone could address that issue for me. Do you suppose a warm iron and cloth could press the suit without causing shrinkage and shine? Or is there a better method? -

Deliberate "Too small size" ballcap fashion
Now there's a stingy brim and big ribbon. If my eyes don't deceive me, that's probably a 1 3/4" brim with a 2" ribbon. I suppose it could be a 2" brim... We could have shown him a thing or two! lol -
Any writers?
Oh, btw, I was talking to my sister a week ago about writing and something came up that she thought was strange - and I'd like to pose a question to you writers based one of my habits. I'm not strictly within a genre, in fact, I'm all over the place. As mentioned in previous threads (and...- Undertow
