    An Amazing Coincidence Today

    You didn't? Man, when I joined the lounge, three suited men, an Italian, an Irishman and a Brit, came to my door, asked if I was 'Undertow' and proceed to beat me about the head and shoulders until I said uncle. After my initiation, they stomped on my wool hat, brushed their hands and told me...

    Button-Down Collars with Suits

    Okay, perhaps I've missed some hard rule of etiquette that I ought to know... What are the rules (if any) regarding wearing button-down collar shirts with suits? I've heard whispers that it's tacky; no suit or jacket/trouser combo should have a button-down collar. Those should be reserved...

    Man Made or Leather Soles?

    Personally, I'm a leather sole type of guy. Although, I own more rubber, I like to have leather under my feet any time I include a tie in my dress.

    A table please, and a glass of rum thank you.

    The end of TIME (no...not the magazine)

    You know, something similar happened in West Des Moines right when it started getting really hot. It was a Thursday, I was at home having just returned from St. Joes with my hats and the power went out during a nasty storm. I stopped caring about the time and read a book, went antique shopping...

    What are you listening to?

    lol In fact, that song has been trailing through my head all morning up until you mentioned it. I think it's time I found another song to get stuck in my head!

    What are you listening to?

    I've been listening to The Decemberists The Crane Wife lately. Great music, really. I haven't been listening to many bands from the 00's lately but these guys are excellent.

    Thanks Fedorites!

    Oh and before I forget, thank you to the bartenders for keeping the Lounge a really unique, excellent, clean and decent place! This is a real classy joint and I've met a ton of great people. And best of all, I'm not afraid to point others in this direction; you're all classy, mannered...

    Thanks Fedorites!

    Yes, I'd also like to thank everyone here, too! Just as Kishtu said, I've been fortunate enough to haunt the various facets of this board and my knowledge of suits, hats, etiquette, etc. has increased tenfold. This place is almost a one-stop shop for everything a young man as myself needs to...

    Games of Chance!

    I don't gamble merely because I can't afford to but I certainly love watching table games! I like to go to a casino and just watch other people lose their hats at Black Jack or Roulette. If I were to play, I think I would play either of the two games listed above. By the by, I don't...

    A fast food rant

    Regarding sodium content in burgers: take a look at the chicken sandwiches! :eek: I LOVE McDonald's chicken strips, sandwhiches, wraps, etc. until I noticed one day that the chicken has a higher sodium and fat content than the burgers. Quite disappointing. So I stopped eating there.

    What Are You Reading

    I'm just now starting The Secret Agent by Joseph Conrad. Conrad is one of my favorite authors and it's unfortunate that I'm only just now getting to this classic. *edit - Has anyone read House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski? I would LOVE to know if you liked this book.

    The Social Meaning of Hats and T-Shirts

    Yes, but even in Scrooge's case, there was a coal burning stove used to heat the room (if you recall, Cratchet was allowed one piece of coal a day). Surely the English had a means of warming their offices. Vendors, service men, laborers, etc may have worn hats all day indoors, but office men...

    Excellent look! And wonderful suit! Where did you purchase the threads?

    Haha! Now that's great! In a sick sort of way, I wish I could have been there to root him on.

    The Social Meaning of Hats and T-Shirts

    Although an excellent article, I must admit, the following made me cringe: "but in the nineteenth century, some form of head covering was often worn indoors. For example, Englishmen wore hats all day in their offices " I had to revisit this sentence a few times and try to picture the...

    What Are You Reading

    I just finished Don Quixote about five minutes ago. Excellent book; quite sad I think.

    19th C weapon found in whale

    Does he have a huge hump, bigger than normal whales? Does he have the harpoons of past whalers sticking out of him like insect stings? Does he often overturn vessels and eat the men alive? Did the heavy metal band Mastodon write an album relating his tale?
