    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

You, my fellow loungers are...

    Bobby Aro: There's a kapakka in the kaupunki. Aro was a finnish-american singer who sang in very fluent finglish. Line from the song: "I hang my hattu (=hat) on the naula (=nail) by the door..."

    Adventure! Fedora Lounge Folks in Action!

    I wish it would be! But no, it's Brixton Mfg Co, rather low end stuff. But it's wool, I like it and I dare to wear it in rather unpleasant conditions. :)

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    My feelings exactly! With added bonus as a member of international loungers to whom English is a foreign language: Constant worry that I might be writing something totally stupid and insulting! Surely I'm not the only one out here!?

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Safari Shopping

    IMHO linen is cooler than cotton. I've worn both in hot and dry as well as hot and humid enviroments, and linen handles perspiration better. Now somebody tell me how summer weight wool behaves, haven't tried that yet? Still plenty of time 'til next summer and travel to warmer locations seems to...

    To beard or not to beard?

    There must be others too with same dilemma? I absolutely love shaving with a straight razor and the whole kit with it... But. I can't stand my face without a beard! Thought about just moustache, could shave and still have some facial hair but that's a nono with the missus. So beard it is!
