    Voice recognition software?

    Someone at my job needs software that supposedly exists which can transcribe spoken word (from a video or audio source - NOT live dictation) to a text document, which you can then search (such as with a Word or PDF file). Does anyone have any info or leads on where to get this? Thanks in...

    F/S Vintage KNOX Hats 7 1/2

    well, after a lot of agonizing, I decided to part with a few of my vintage lids as I really need the money for gift buying this year. Before I put them up on ebay I wanted to give folks here first shot. Each comes with the Knox Octagonal box. 1. 7 3/8 Grey Knox Premier, nice felt, probably...

    Vintage denim Jackets

    I'm home from work with a wrenched back today, so I might get around to taking photos of some old denim jackets I have and posting them on ebay. Basically I bought about a dozen in the last year or so and weeded out a few that do not fit me. Before I put them up, I figured I'd let the Fedora...

    Would you return this shaving brush stand?

    Hi all - hope this is the correct place for this. I bought a nice nickel steel shaving brush stand at the Art of Shaving last October. This replaced the cheap $5 plastic stand I bought from them, which snapped in two the first time I used it. Since I had plunked down $200 for one of their...

    average sizes?

    I know we've had 'vanity sizing' in the last few decades - where a given size is actually larger than in the past - so the same person can gain weight over the years but continue buying and wearing the same number size, which 'magically' increase right along with them. I also realize people...

    FREE project hat size 7 1/4 or so

    Hi guys I was selling these two Italian Fur Felt hats a while back:http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=27111 (scroll down past the Borsalino pics for the Brandolini pics - look carefully, the two hats were nearly identical!!) I wound up selling the Borsalino separately on ebay...

    Is out-of-lip-sync driving you MAD?

    Okay about a year ago we noticed lots of cable tv programs - including my beloved TCM movies - were out of sync - to comic or tragic degrees. You expect this from a bad Godzilla movie, and I don't care if the Yoga instructor is a few seconds off. But during a tender love scene or a classic...

    HOw are the New Year's resolutions going?

    I hope you're all not giving up/giving in just yet!:p I am going to see some friends today who I haven't seen since Halloween. I am wearing some old jeans I couldn't even button back then (I know because I tried them on and was mad that I couldn't wear them that night). I haven't...

    good for a laugh though. http://www.ehow.com/how_2127038_wear-fedora.html I will say I am seeing a LOT more fedoras around town lately, good and bad and ugly, on young and old, male & female, etc.

    2 black wide brim fedoras, Borsalino FS or trade

    In case anyone is a size 7 or so - I sold these two hats on ebay but the winner turned out to be a deadbeat (after several weeks of stringing me along, no payment - bummer! ). One is a Borsalino, size 7 1/8. The second is a Brandolini (Borsalino clone), size 6 7/8. They are practically...

    pgoat runs the batsakes voodoo down.....

    (Or, how I was Gus Miller'd into submission) okay folks, the Bogie fedora has arrived! first and foremost, I am EXTREMELY relieved that it fits very nicely indeed. A bit loose if anything (quite the opposite from what i'd expected - though I am very happy!). Some immediate impressions...

    Which hat material is best for rain?

    There have been other threads here debating about subjecting vintage or expensive customs to rain and the elements. As I was puzzled on which of my hats to grab this morning (raining here), I wondered how the Loungers feel about hat materials. Mind you, your comments and thoughts are welcome...

    Please help assess my hats......

    Hi all, I'd like to start '08 off right. Here is my current line up of fedoras. Can you of the Lounge have a look at your Leisure and give me your brutal opinions on what works, and what doesn't?? I did all the frontal shots, and then the same order but with a three-quarter angle. I am...

    Vintage subway ride, NYC

    Just in case anyone missed this, the next few Sundays offer a chance to ride on retired R series cars from the NYC subways, all from the 1930s, some of which were prototypes. Lots of memories for native NYers like myself, but also fun if you're visiting for the holidays or business. The...

    KNOX Stingy Brim MINT!

    Just fyi, ebay item 280182529984 This one had its original reciept for the hat and an Eldon Rain guard with pocket pouch! Too cool. I especially liked the receipt because we always have issues dating our vintage hats. This one has 1 7/8" brim and was sold in 1967. I scored this on ebay...
